So I attended the Summer CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) trade show this past weekend in Chicago. I was really excited when I arrived on Thursday and fairly exhausted when I left on Sunday. This was my first show, but I’m sure it won’t be my last! I took pictures of samples and put in around 20 orders. Here’s a sneak peek at what I’ve ordered:
Bazzill: new embossed dots papers in the wonderful Bazzill colors; new In Stitchz templates for Christmas, handwriting, and circles; and two cute new ribbons for Christmas.
Little Yellow Bicycle: beautiful lines - I wish I could bring everything in, but then there wouldn’t be any room for any other stuff! Their lines are enormous. However, I did order papers and embellishments from their “Frightful” collection, “Christmas Magic”, and “Love Letters”. Can you guess the holidays they represent? Beautiful papers with flocking, die cut edges and foils. I can’t wait until they come in.
Pebbles, Inc: new “Candy Dots” – brads that look like the candy dots we used to eat off the paper; their new “Legacy” line and “Snow Fun” line, and their Share & Tell albums with 4×6 journaling cards. A quick way to scrapbook a lot of photos.
Bo-Bunny: Papers from “Beau Jardin”, “Believe” christmas, and “Beautiful Life” fall line, along with a few of their “My Big Fat Word Albums”.
Black Market Paper Sociey: a fairly new company with gorgeous designer papers. I ordered papers from three lines entitled “Ebony & Alabaster”, “Lucky ‘n Love”. “Let it Bloom” and “When the Weather is Fine”. Beautiful double-sided textured paper.
Sample papercrafts from Graphic 45
Graphic 45: This is a great paper company for heritage lines. I’ll post some photos of her samples. I’ve ordered from three lines: “Baby 2 Bride”, “Playtimes Past”, and “Bontanicabella”.
Daisy D’s: I’m bringing in papers from their fall line entitled “A Village Harvest”.
3 Bugs in a Rug: Ordered their Christmas/Winter line.
Imaginisce: new Halloween called “Hallowhimsy”, Christmas line entitled “Snowy Jo” and a future line called “Fairest of them All”. Of course, they are all cute and glittered with great .99 stamps and great embellishments! The Christmas line features Santa and an adorable snowman.
The Tim & I! (& Kate)
Ranger: I took an adirondack class with Tim Holtz on Thursday and fell in love with their Dimensional Pearls, so needless to say I’m bringing in one of every color, plus the new colors of stickles and distressed stickles.
These are just some of the products we’ll be receiving in our store over the next couple of months. I didn’t post all of them – just wanted to tease you with a few. Be sure to stop in periodically so you can check out all the new stuff!
