There is no doubt being away at CHA is one of the highlights of our year. Many people stopped to ask us what we had seen and beyond all the incredible and fun new products, we always said "friends". We spent a great deal of time collaborating, discussing upcoming articles and also making new friends. At the show yesterday I made a new friend...
We saw many beautiful fall, halloween and Christmas lines but one of the gems of the show was the line produced by Amy Tan for American Crafts. This fun, trendy line was all that we knew it would be. Full of whimsy, fun patters and colour combinations that make it a line you WANT to scrap with! We fell in love not only with the line but the wonderful person behind it too. Amy is the sweetest girl who is full of life...the good life as she would tell you.
Here is a little more of the Amy Tangerine line and some others too...
and some other fun from American Crafts...
While I would have loved to share even more pictures from the AC booth, they had 700 new amazing products. New cutters, new punches, pens, glitter cardstock and SO MUCH MORE! All the new products can be seen right here and be prepared to fall in love.
Of course when I was chatting with Amy, and because I love you all and just knew someone had to be the first to receive a selection of this line, I insisted we had to do a giveaway today. AND, today's winner will also receive an Amy Tangerine bag which Amy happily autographed too! SO, just leave us a comment below and maybe tell American Crafts how much you love this line on their facebook page here and we will choose a winner next Friday! Good luck!
Join me tomorrow from some more sneak peeks direct from the show floor!
