CHA Winter 2012 setup video...take a peek!

 

cha set up is here...{more booth chalkboard quotes}

CHA Winter is swiftly approaching and the team mambi is busily scurrying around getting everything ready!

This year, I made the signs for our booth and I have loved every minute of it!  The theme for the booth is....Live Creatively!  So I found 6 awesome quotes about creativity and created some colorful chalkboard frames.  I experimented with many different chalks, spray paints, fixatives, layouts, lettering styles, etc....  I already posted the first two boards...here are the final 4.  (I'll post the final outcome in the booth at the show)

I hope these inspire you like they have inspired me.  Don't be afraid to try something NEW!!

More from CHA coming up...

follow your bliss.

What happens at mambi when we need to clear our minds and get creative?

We graffiti a wall in our new studio!

It was great way to break in the new space and welcome the new year with open minds and hearts.  Here's how it started.

We decided to use this wall as place to let go.  Get out of our heads and give in to our creative hearts.  Leaving our inner critics at the door, we embark on a journey of expression.  It's a way to obliterate any creative block we may encounter as we design new products and explore new ideas!

living creatively for the cause

On Sunday, September 25th, Team mambi participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Orange County, California.  We are committed to "living creatively for the cause" and want to give back wherever we can.  It was a great day and a worthy cause.  Thank you to all of Team mambi for taking time out of your weekend to help support the fight against breast cancer!

 

blog update...message from stephanie

 

living creatively for the cause!

The MAMBI family has been affected by a variety of different cancers.  A diagnosis of cancer is always life changing.  It alters awareness and makes life seem very precious.

Education, Awareness, Early Detection and Treatment are critical.

We have created fun, “lifestyle” products to support breast cancer and celebrate SURVIVORS!  These colorful products, full of bling, will be available in MAY.

..................................................................................................................................

One very special breast cancer SURVIVOR is Kay McConnaughey.  Kay is a MAMBI artist.  She was the first...the creator of the beloved "stick kids" and so much more! 

Here is Kay's story...

MAMBI Christmas Traditions

Hi everyone! It's Hannah, hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break.  I know I did!  But now that we're past Thanksgiving it's time to celebrate Christmas here at MAMBI-land and we're breaking in to our holiday traditions around here.  Some traditions are fun like our wonderful Art Director Renée's whimsical and gold christams tree and some of our traditions are giving like participating in Operation Christmas Child and Angel Tree.  These traditions reflect just some of the different facets of MAMBI and the people who work here.  What are some of your family or workplace traditions?

Operation Christmas Child 2010

This week at MAMI we filled 200 Operation Christmas Child boxes that will be sent all over the world for  children in need to open on Christmas.  Each box was filled by a MAMBI employee with school supplies, crafts, candy, and stuffed toys for boys and girls.  Even though it's before Thanksgiving we were definitely in the Christmas spirit.  Big thanks to Terri and Steph for sponsoring the event and a big shout out to Anna who put organized everything with great care!

Live Creatively!

Check out this ADORABLE cake and cupcakes that our very own Annie from the Art Department made!!  She's a wonderful graphic designer by day but she keeps her creativity flowing by decorating cakes on the side like a rockstar!  Everything was made by hand and made from scratch...SO TALENTED!  Have a wonderful Halloween and Live Creatively!
