Help Us Welcome This Month's Guest Craft Designer!

Happy April!

Please help us welcome this month's Guest Designer, Leslie!  Leslie has been a part of our A Cherry On Top community for many years and we're excited to see what fun she has in store for us!

Screenname: lesmitch

First name: Leslie

Favorite Color: I would have to say Teal or Aqua blue

My craft supply 'must have': I must by all means have Bling.

 I mostly create: I think I equally create layouts and cards

Guilty pleasure: this would have to be Pepsi.  I seriously cannot live without it.

BIO:  I have been married for 28 years to my High School sweetie. I was blessed with 2 daughters and five beautiful Grandbabies. 

I started scrapping late 2008. I love trying out new techniques to push myself to learn as much as I can.  I am on a couple of different design teams Moxxie, Red Carpet Studio, Feeling Sketchy and Sketches in Thyme.

I was also able to be a part of Nuts About Sketches DT team for a term.

Our Gallery Is In Full Spring Bloom!

If you celebrate Easter, we hope you enjoyed time with friends and family and took tons of pictures to scrapbook!

We were browsing our ACherryOnTop.com Gallery and wanted to share some of the amazing talent there!

It's a shame we can't share everyone's submission!  We suggest taking your laptop out to a lovely (and hopefully sunny) spot, grab your favorite cold beverage and browse through the Spring Gallery!  We're sure you'll find a smile and some inspiration along the way.

Thanks for reading!

   

CHA Winter 2014 Re-Cap

Craft and Hobby Conference/Tradeshow 2014: Anaheim, CA

CHA Winter 2014 is officially in the books!  New product purchased, meetings with Manufacturers keps and MILES walked!  What a blast.  Warning - this post is image heavy so be patient if you're browsing on your smartphone!

Graphic 45 Booth CHA Winter 2014

The energy at the show was full of expectation and creativity!  We love that feeling.  Maybe it was because this is the time so many companies begin to focus on Spring and Summer themes.  It's a nice break from the cold Winter!

Pebbles, Inc: Garden Party & Special Delivery; Carta Bella: Baby Mine; Echo Park: Summer Lovin' 

As always, one of my favorite reasons to attend the show is to meet designers face to face.  Email and phone calls just cannot replace real connections!

I'm thrilled to be able to do what I do.  It's great to touch the new product and renew old and create new friends!  I even got to meet a few ACOT customers!  How great is that?

Big Welcome To Deanna13 - July Guest Designer!

My perfect vacation spot always includes a beach. I find it so relaxing and comforting, and a place I can reflect and recharge my inner self. I also love reliving the special moments later by scrapping about them.
