CHA Round Up

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to give you some final photos from CHA and a little bit of Eye Candy.  A few of you know that I have a special love for the Button Farm albums. Well, they have made my dreams come true and made products available for us stores to sell. They will even have some of their special albums kits available for us to do as classes.



We will be getting this kit to teach.  Watch for dates sometine in September.

Here is Flat Lisa with friend to the store Cindy  working at the Impression Obsession booth and Tawni Hudson who you know from the fun Elizabeth Crafts Glitter classes.

Here is my last KC photo.  He gave Flat Lisa a little kiss goodbye.

Here is Flat Lisa with Kimber McGray at the JilliBean Soup Booth.  She taught some classes at GASC this year and also works for Scrapbooks and Cards Today.

I may have ordered quite a bit of Jillibean.  Super cute Christmas and Fall Lines.

Flat Lisa begged for this princess beaded gown but I thought it made her shoulders look too big.

Here we are at the Graphic 45 Photo Booth.

Flat Lisa got tangled up in the yards of Washi tape at the Queen A& Co booth.

Here is an amazing wall frame from KaiserCraft.  I can't wait to play with this for a Chritmas gift.

KaiserCraft also made this great tower that will hold all the Tim Holtz ink pads.

Flat Lisa couldn't wait to See Jared and meet Jodi his wife at Fancy Pants.  He stopped by our store in March and we just love their company (and their brag books).  

I'm not sure why PLUS Adhesive had a Snowman walking around the convention floor but of course I had to take a photo.

Anyone watching Craft Wars on TLC?  I am.  This was the winning playhouse from the first episode.

Flat Lisa hung out in the flower box for a while until she saw the free pina coladas.

 

I made a cute demo folder with Heide Swapp.  Loved her new release!

Love and Joy are how I feel about the new Basic Grey Christmas Line.

Flat Lisa's Busy Last Day at CHA & Bag Lady Bonus Sale

 Hi Everyone,

We had a busy last day at the show.  Flat Lisa wanted to get her photo with all the good looking men at the show and I had a bunch of orders to place.  Just when you think that there couldn't be anything new in this industry, the designers come up with some amazing new twists.  Some of the new things will be shipping as soon as next week, like the new My Mind's Eye lines.

Flat Lisa was in love with the new Simple Stories lines.

Flat Lisa wasn't even scared of the bead spiders.

She picked out a new date for Halloween but grew tired of him after she spotted KC.

KC gave her a little hug.

New Faber-Castell resist crayons.  I can't wait to see what Lisa Hetrick does with these.

This is  Liz Kartchner  the designer of the Dear Lizzie line for American Crafts.

Here is Flat Lisa talking to a new friend.

I'll Post more photos tomorrow when I have better internet service.

Flat Lisa had a busy last day at CHA

Hello,
I just wanted to give you a quick update.  I had a long drive tonight after the show and now the only intent service I have is on my phone.  I hope to have time tomorrow to do the complete update of the last day at CHA.  Flat Lisa really made the rounds today.  She made sure she got her photo taken with all the good looking men. 
Yes that is Flat Lisa with Tim Holtz.

Day 3 From CHA, Wacky Wednesday & Bag Lady Bonus Days

Hello,

Today was a long day filled with lots of orders.  We have lots of great things happening at the store this week like Wacky Wednesday Cards, Jen Starr visiting


When I was leaving the hotel this morning, I could not get Flat Lisa out of bed.  She said she had worked so hard the 3 days that she wanted a spa day.   Yes, she sleeps with a pillow over her head.  I was not trying to smoother her. Really...

She got her hair done and her nails. 

I can't stand it when she eats in bed.  At least, she has her own bed to mess up. 

At some pint today, she must have put aside the chocolate because she made this fun explosion box that will be an upcoming class.

So I had to shop by myself.  Luckily???? I ran into Sandy Boyd who
twisted my arm and made me buy lots of KaiserCraft goodies.  Think lots of great stuff to alter.

Ok, maybe the man candy helped a bit too...

Art Impressions has some adorable gift card holder stamps that I can't wait to order.  I'm bringing back the catalog so you can do preorders.

Speaking of Man Candy,  Here is KC again.  I may have ordered quite a bit of My Mind's Eye and it will be   to the store by the begining of August.

After a long day I treated myself to some real Chicago deep dish pizza.

Wacky Wednesday Cards

Lisa Halstead created this fun Paper Smooches card for you this week. 

 New Northwoods Rubber Stamps Halloween Board.

 New Tattered Angels Sprays.  These are all Limited Edition created by Jen Starr who is visiting us on Thursday.

 Here is a pretty preview of a future class by Vanessa.  We will have the date figured out by early next week.
