well I think that it is official. I am the worst blogger on the planet. It is my New Years Resolution to improve on that, oh wait……..it is April, oh well - lets see how I do!
Last time I checked in I was on my way to Portland Oregon-this was the farthest The Button Farm has ever traveled west! The people were amazing in Oregon and I met many new friends there, I am excited to head out there again. When I got home, I was crazy busy getting prepared for The Extreme Scrapbook Event on April 4th and 5th. We had an amazing time together as usual, and it really again \confirmed my love of being with my customers. It is incredible to spend a weekend together and it always gives me such an energy boost.
Here is what we made:
A Day in The Life:
This 7 Gypsies shaped board book was the base for this album, featuring papers and embellishments from Pink Paislee.
This album was a new find from Maya Road, a 5 x 5 chipboard album with envelope inserts! CUTE! I used funky papers and embellishments from Sassafrass Lass, American Crafts and Creative Imaginations.
The Great Outdoors:
This album was a crowd pleaser, I think that it was the general consensus that this album was the most favored album of the weekend. Featuring a Bo-Bunny album and paper and chipboard elements from DCWV, this album was perfect for many different album titles!
You and Me Acrylic Album Stand:
This album was my ‘panic project’. Some product that I was hoping to use for ESE did not make it across the ocean quickly enough, so I purchased these adorable products from We R Memory Keepers for this acrylic album stand from Maya Road. It was a fun and happy project to work on!
and my personal favorite - ‘The Story’. I was inspired by these 7 Gypsies products and created this fun album with insert folders, pockets and more! This album was even featured on the 7 Gypsies website and blog - check it out at www.7gypsies.com!
We also created 4 make and takes at the event!
Here are some pictures of everyone having fun!
Ok, so there is a recap of our weekend together! I will post more soon about what is new since ESE! And there is lots to share!
Hugs to all!

Hi Angela,
Cheri here, from the Mesa Scrapbook Convention. You may remember me and my mom because we ran into you about, oh, four million times during the day! We are still raving about your BEAUTIFUL mini albums and have planned a day to get started on them next weekend. What a sweet, wonderful person you are. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work and your inspiration. We are looking forward to more great projects.
Angela, I just wanted to let everyone know that I did the remote ESE and if you are not able to attend , this is the way to go.
The product is great and the instructions are very clear. I commend Angela on her choice of products and the effort and oraginality of the albums and the make and take products.\
I look forward to seeing what new ideas and products you have in the future.
I also wanted to comment how approachable you are with questions and prompt with responses.
