CHA Day 2

Today was cloudy and chilly in LA.  What a great day to walk the show, see all the products and get down to business ordering.  Today looked alot like the following pictures:
 Writing up orders
 Checking out product
 Checking out more product
 Writing more orders
Yep, and writing more orders....and these were the only photos they got that I was willing to post.  There was a lot of ordering today.  Hopefully my accounts won't blow up before I return.  The end of our day was filled with another great Crazy Canuck night.  Thank you Trisha for hosting another great evening.

CHA Day 1

CHA is ready to open the doors for another great show.  Something that I missed last year was getting a
photo with the sign.  Thanks Tanya for all the great photos today!
Once into the show our first booth was (you'll never guess) - TIM HOLTZ!!!  What an amazing collections of items to add to his existing line.  Ideology will be a must have as will teh new Distress Stains.  Yes, you read correct - Distress Stains.  The same great nostalgic palate of the Distress inks in a fluid for quick and easy ink coverage to use on larger backgrounds.  Comes with a brushed nylon dabber top to control the release of the stain from the bottle.  You will love them.  They will be shipping next week.  Please email me if you would like to place a preorder.  They will go fast!

Making sure I haven't missed any must haves
 Distress stain colors (12 in total)

After all the excitement at Tim Holtz and Ranger it was time to focus on other great new products.  Kaisercraft has added "Paper Blooms" a beautiful new flower line in a multitude of colors.  One line (a favorite for me) is called "Timeless" is sure to be a favorite.  The name says it all; this will be a go to pattern paper for all your background needs.
 Can you see my excitement?
 Timeless - a soft palett of neutrals

My Mind's Eye is always a go to favoite of mine.  This release is no exception.  Already shipped and will be waiting for me when I return is Stella and Rose and Goodday Sunshine.

 Goodday Sunshine

Last but not least for today is Prima - What can I say except I may have spent WAY too much at Prima - I hope you love all the beauty that will be created with Prima's new release.  Romantic flowers, lace, bling and other trims!  Photos don't do justice.
New Alphabets
Vintage Trinkets
 Beautiful blossoms and bling
Mistable canvas pages in conjunction with Tattered Angels
And Beautiful Trims

And me!!  Getting ready to take a Becky Fleck class from Page Maps 2!
