Final CHA recap, a new company and winners too!

Good morning everyone!  We have a little bit of a random post today as we have a few more CHA images for you, a great new company to chat about and of course we have some winners from our "friends and fans celebration" giveaway! 

So here are a few more fun pics from CHA...

Bo Bunny Double Dot in a 6 x 6 pad!!!  Cardmakers unite!

Do you watch TLC's Craft Wars?  Here is Cheryl's house that won on the first episode.  Love the ruler shutters and the pencil flower boxes.  (Just know Christy Tomlinson that we LOVED your school bus too!!!!) 

Serious love for this Maya Road fabric tape!!  One little roll *may* have found it's way into my suitcase!

Also in the Maya Road booth was this incredible ferris wheel that was completely decorated with Maya Road twine!  Unbelievable!

I had the opportunity to try out the new Tab punches from We R Memory Keepers and they are awesome!  Absolutely a must!

So we've talked about what CHA is all about from a product perspective but the other great part about CHA is having an opportunity to actually talk face to face with manufacturers about their products, meet with designers to discuss upcoming editorial ideas and also to share some great laughs with our very own design team that we don't get to see too often.  The personal interaction is what truly makes CHA a great place to be.  One other part of CHA we love is the New Exhibitor section as there is always one new company that just stands out and this one, FarmHouse Paper Company was just that.  The owner Howard is by far one of the funniest people we have met in a long time and many will know him from the company The Button Farm.  Introducing FarmHouse Paper Company...

Be sure to click on the link to FarmHouse above to see even more great images from this new company!  We're also pretty sure you'll see more of them in the very near future (pssst...be here Friday!)  ;)

Are you a winner?  Be sure to click HERE to see if you are a winner in our "Celebrating Friends and Fans" giveaway.  I had so much fun snapping the pictures and just loved how many of you followed us each day.  I hope you enjoyed our CHA recap and just know if I could take you all with me...I would!!!  Just be sure to check out your local stores for all the new products that is either hitting shelves now or will be in a few weeks time.  We've got a lot of papercrafting and memory keeping to do friends...and a lot of great products to do it with.  We are also cooking up a little something right now that we can't wait to share soon!

Have a great Tuesday!
