Good morning friends! We have been having a wonderful time at CHA and wishing you were right there with us! We have so much to share with you and are finding it very hard to go through all the pictures we have taken (about 600!) to choose just the right ones...but we will! We have seen some great trends emerging and know you are going to love what's coming! So let's go...
We are thrilled for our Editor Becky Fleck as she releases a great new line of stamps, paper and stickes with Penny Black! The get versatile stamps will make the perfect card or will be a perfect embellishment for your latest page. Congrats Becky! You know I love those cupcakes!
So much Ranger lined up in a row! We did get a chance to see Tim Holtz doing some incredible demos. That man rocks the Distress Ink! We took about 50 pictures in this booth but here is just a sneak peek..
I had the chance to catch up with Maggie Holmes for just a bit (she is adorable!) and stroll through her sweet booth to check out her new line. Loved the overlays that make a photo look like an Instagram!
A sneak from Little Yellow Bicycle! Some great lines here!
I also had a chance to chat for a while with Ali Edwards who is one of the sweetest, most down to earth ladies. Her way of capturing the everyday life is wonderful and here are a few of her new stamps to help you do that!
To end our day we thought we would share a great video from our friend Jenni Bowlin who shares the new products from Jenni Bowlin Designs (including a fabulous new release from our great friend Lisa Dickinson!)
That's it for now! We are ready to head out for our last few hours here but I'll have even more to share with you tomorrow! Have a great day friends. Wish you were ALL here!
~ Catherine


















Thanks for sharing! Wish I was there too!

That photo with Maggi looks like to two of you have been lifelong friends. And how awesome that you got to speak with Ali too. Her new stamps are so awesome! Thanks for all the photos Catherine, it's so great to feel just a little like we were there too.
