Not all of them had watch pieces and I made all of them were made to match their favorite color. I tried to make all of them unique.While a CHA I gotta tell ya I noticed kinda a trend in a lot of the Make and Takes. I’m not complaining because I kinda like it. There was jewelry everywhere.
Whether it was from Ranger (Claudine Hellmuth), Hero Arts (Jennifer McGuire), GCD, Ideology by Advantus.
And more from Ranger and one especially made by Mrs. Suze Weinberg herself.
Of course there was more I just didn’t in anyway have time to make it all, there was some at Making Memories and so much more.
When you are on a diet where would be the worst place for you to go? Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, right?
So when I’m on a paper buying freeze because I have entirely too much paper where would be the last place I would need to go? CHA!!! It’s like heaven for paper addicts. Paper, lots of glorious paper. More than a normal person can process. For those that don’t know about my addiction you can refer back to this post.
There was so much to choose from: My Mind’s Eye, Basic Grey, October Afternoon, Bella Blvd, Jillibean Soup, Kiki Art, … I could probably go on forever.
One of my favorite lines & I have to admit one of my favorite booths was My Mind’s Eye. The people there were super nice (Amber, AC, Cam & Jason). I mean how can you not have fun when they have a fun zone cabana with one of the sweetest girls and all the hot guys?
Do you see the paper in the background, isn’t it gorgeous? Wanna see more?
Some of it’s even flocked, it’s just so beautiful.
Of course I loved the Basic Grey lines!! Who couldn’t love them. I don’t know what happened to all the pictures of took of them but I do have one of them. But I can direct you to more.
The Make & Take we did was with the Kioshi line. It was so pretty!!! Did you want to see more? You can go see what Jimmi put on her blog.
Another brand new line is the Girls’ Paperie by Margie Romney. It makes a girl’s heart go flutter.
From California at least. Today was the last day of CHA Trade Show. This week was a total and complete blast. Granted a little exhausting ok, you twisted my arm A LOT exhausting. I will try to break down what I saw and who I saw and some of the new goodies. One of those was today when I was walking around with Kelly Alvarez, aka Lawn Fawn Cards. She’s one of the sweetest.
We were able to learn about this new company called ScraPerfect. They have 4 new really great products and it’s was all developed by a stay at home mom, how cool is that? Gotta love us smart chicas.
One of them, is called the Embellie Gellie. This is perfect for picking up your small embellishments. For me when I saw this I immediately thought of Mini Rhinestones by Zva. It has an automatic release. I can’t wait to get home & try this bad boy.
Second, the Perfect Printing Pouch. I wish I could remember all the ways they told us we could use this product but I’ll try to outline some of them for you.
Then, the Perfect Cleaning Cloth. It’s good for cleaning up fingerprints and powders off of your projects. You can even use on your glass. Here’s the kicker…wait for it…it’s washable. NICE!!!, right? Where other products might have left residue on your black cardstock, one swipe of the PCC and you would never have known.
Last & certainly not least, the Embellie Glue. Right now it is in just prototype stage however what they showed us was really nice. It’s super tacky & dries clear, it is a liquid. You can use it even on ribbon but the good thing with this one as opposed to other liquid adhesives out there with ribbon it won’t soak through. You can even use it to glue onto fabric and after setting for 48 hours it can be thrown into a dryer & come out great.
