Thank you, Kristen and ACOT.

oh my goodness a fall and christmas line sounds AMAZING!!! Would you use the typical colors for a fall and christmas line? Great question and I ask myself that too! For Christmas I am actually loving the turquoise and red combination. For fall same typical with perhaps a pop of color. Sounds lovely!

Kristen, what program do you use to design? Do you ever throw out something you started or does it just fall into place? I mostly use Photoshop CS4. Yes I had a complete line put together for this last CHA and threw most of the line out except for a paper or two. Crazy huh?! Not at all. It's a crea...

I'm here too! :) Can't wait to see how Kristen answers all the tough questions these Cherries ask. Like: Coffee or Tea? Herbal Tea Morning or Night? Neither! It drives me nuts because I wish I were one or the other. Favorite Color combo? Pink and Turquoise I love pink and turquoise too! Maybe with ...

Have you seen the chipboard? It coordinates and can be layered. It's super fun! I love bumpy, too.

Yes, thank you!

Thank you for the chat. This was fun!

I love your designs because they usually have large and small patterns. The small is awesome for layering and backgrounds and the large is awesome for cutting out, distressing and turning into fun dimensional die cuts. In other words, there is something for everyone.

YAY, i like that question, its easy :-) The Song of Solomon was the inspiration behind beloved. I love the pure, yet intense love that is expressed so poetically in the book.

I'm madly in love with both Loolah and Beloved. They are breathtaking.

Hi everyone! So happy to be here.

They are a little lumpy, but I didn't have any trouble getting them into my page protector. I use the AC Dring binders.

I'm madly in love with these, myself. I've already used some blue ones on a baby page and have one more package I'm hoarding.
