Next week is CHA. The very cool Craft and Hobby Association’s Winter Convention and Trade Show. This is where are ll the manufacturers come to release their latest products and retailers like us buy goodies for the coming year.
It’s beyond huge. It’s not limited to scrapbooking, and includes every craft corner of the world.
So as CHA gets closer, different manufactures have started showing little sneak peeks of what they will be releasing next week. I am so excited to see all these goodies in person. I have actually never been to CHA. Jennifer has been, since she does pretty much all of Crazy Daisy’s buying. It will be a whole new experience for me to join the shopping fun. I’m sure I’m going to want to buy everything!
I have been paying attention to all the sneak peeks, and here are some of things I’m most excited about.
One of my favorite new lines comes from Webster Pages. I LOVE their new line, Garden Gala (photo above). They are releasing four new lines at CHA and all of them are to die for. I can’t wait to see them and touch them in person. Samples please?
Teresa Collins is releasing a new line. I love how classy her new line is and I really like how much you can do with the black and white color scheme.
I really am liking all the new paper Little Yellow Bicycle will be unveiling in 2010. I especially like the Lucky Me collection (photo above). Now that I’m scrapping for a little boy, I have to think outside my pink and floral box! I like the blues and yellows this collection has.
As usual, Crate Paper has lots of yummy goodies in its next release. I love it all. I always do. I’m a huge Crate Paper fan, and it looks like they won’t be disappointing me.
While at CHA Jennifer and I will be taking a very cool class from Stacy Julian. The class, Finish Line Scrapbooking, is geared toward scrapping fast. It’s suppose to change the way we scrap, at least when we want to scrap fast and accomplish a lot. I’m sure excited about meeting Stacy Julian and applying some of her awesome techniques. I have issues with starting projects and then never finishing them …. I have high hopes that this class will help me finish more projects and start chipping away at my very large pile of projects that are “almost” done!
While at CHA, we’ll share as much as time permits. When we’re in our hotel room each night, trying to decided what will make it’s way to your kits for the 2010 …. we’ll give you some peeks at what we love the most.
Have a great Tuesday!
