Scrapbook & Cards Today Blog: CHA - Day 4 and Still Alive!

Well, we are home from CHA--arrived this afternoon to the worst snow storm Toronto has seen this winter--and it took us well over 2 hours to get home from the airport (normally a 30 minute drive). What a nice welcome home!!! On a more positive note, we had a WONDERFUL time and it was sad to say goodbye to Kim Hughes (our DT coordinator) and Kim Jones (our traveling accomplice from The Scrapping Bug), as well as lots of other GREAT friends. To everyone who helped make our trip so memorable--we thank you.

Another trend that we saw at the show was an abundance of animal critters--jungle animals were appearing everywhere from K & Co. to Little Yellow Bicycle, and from Maya Road to Imaginisce. So cute!

Here are some more pictures from the show:

- an adorable alphabet board featuring the "Actopus to Zelephant" line by K & Co.

- the new butterfly accordion book from Maya Road --
this is the chipboard version, but clear acrylic is also available.

- beautiful new "Designer Boutique" dies by Ellison for Sizzix.

- we were very impressed with this cute birthday line from The Paper Company.

- cute new products and projects from Jenni Bowlin Studio.

- adorable layouts and cards in the Hero Arts booth.

Also, don't forget...we will be announcing the SURPRISE blog giveaway tomorrow. We picked up something FABULOUS (boy, it was a hard choice-- there were so many great new things), but we did manage to pick one and we will give you two hints...it is SUGARY sweet and the manufacturer uses the following letters in their name-- gboduloeod.

Can you guess?
