More stuff from CHA

I have a few things I still haven't told you about from CHA. I lost some of my pictures (operator error on the camera I'm sure) but I still have a few neat things to show you.

First, I saw this great new storage box from Artbin. You can store 16 carts with books and overlays in it. Plus room for a few tools.




I loved this leaf ribbon. Of course I lost the picture of the company it came from, but I really thought it was neat how they used it as seaweed.



This is also another type of ribbon that was everywhere. They die cut it into petals and leave. So cute.


Last but not least, I know twine is the new craze. I found this company that makes hemp twine. It looks really nice and comes in so many colors. I got the name of this one! Trade Marker International.

Does this make anyone want to spend money? It sure makes me want to!

A quick run down of CHA


The picture of Candy Spelling. I mentioned her on the last blog. She did the ribbon cutting ceremony on Saturday.


Okay, I don't have a lot of pic's but here's what I saw and liked at CHA. Provocraft is coming out with the new Expressions 2. It it will cut images from the Imagine cartridges, but does not print. It also has a display screen so you don't need the overlays from the carts. You can see everything on the screen. It's really cool.

Echo Park paper is adorable. Here are a few pics from the sample pack I got. And Madison Parker is very cool! He grew up in California and is very laid back, and fun to talk to. And Jody is awesome too. They have some great coordinating stickers to go with each line.


That's all for now I gotta get some rest to be ready for tomorrow!

All about CHA!!!!!







Yesterday was my first day of CHA!!!! I had so much fun. Candy Spelling did the ribbon cutting ceremony, the Straight on to Provo Craft! They had away these cute Cricky plush toys and a copy of Cricut Magazine!.

I got to meet Jinger Adams and I took a class on the new Imagine. The were also demo-ing some really cool projects. Then it was off to Prima, where I saw all of the new Vintage Trinkets line. They are metal embellishments and they are awesome! The reset of the day was a whirlwind of products, and I ended at Echo Park Paper, where I got a picture with Madison. He and Jody are so nice. Jody explained that Echo Park Paper is actually named after Echo Park here in Los Angeles, and the papers tell stories about the city. That is so awesome!


More fun and mayhem on Monday!
