CHA

Hi Everyone!  I want to do a quick post on all the fun things I did at CHA this year and to show you all what I got while I was there:-).
This year the consumer part of CHA was done a bit differently.  It was actually combined with the Fashion and Jewelry show which made it so confusing for us crafters to figure out if there actually was a show.  My friend Nancy and I had so much fun last year and this year we were back and forth on if we were even going to go this year.  At the last minute we did decide to go on Friday and of course we were glad we did in the end but were disappointed in the lack of vendors. However, that did not stop me from getting a huge haul of craft goodies!  I am going to show them all to you here:-).

Thursday of the show I went to meet up with some other crafters, including Jess from Kinderstampo and Sarah from Pink Cricut.  Here is a photo of everyone.  It was fun to meet all of them.  (I am the one holding my son)

 Here I am with Tim Holtz, oh and my son Carter again.  I ended up going into the other part of CHA that day with Carter and just carrying him around as I oohed and aahed at all the booths.  My favorite was DCWV and there upside down Christmas tree with paper ornaments!

The next day Nancy and I went on our own (sans Kids).  Here are some of the Cuttlebug folders I got.

 Some bling! oh and a make and take we made. 

 Love how the little crystals fit the nestabilities perfect!

 Couple more embossing folders..

 Some glue (love this stuff) and a few other dies

 This is were I spend all my money!! Love these cute little stamps!

 They even have dies to coordinate with the stamps, so cute!

 I just had to get this for the sayings, I love them! 

 A couple of Unity stamps.

 Another make n take.  Love these flowers!

 Here is a book I "won" from Kinderstampo.  Jess and Sarah did a drawing for all the girls that came out to see them and I won this beautiful book!  She also gave everyone a cute Halloween tag.

 She is so talented!

 Inside, all the little tabs come out

Finally, Here is a very quick card I made with my new stamps. This was for a boy's graduation and I wanted to make it more masculine.  I haven't had much time to play with them yet... Need to get in my craft room soon!
