CHA time (January and July) is, for me, like diving into pictoral CRACK. I stalk the websites and devour the pictures of new paper lines, punches, tools, and endless embellishments. If I were ever able to attend the actual show (long a dream of mine, and who knows...it just might happen someday!) I would probably act like an over-excited, sugar-rushed child on Christmas Day. I've settled down some what now but feel like sharing what I loved and is on my wish list. And yes, I know I said this is the year of using stuff I have. I would have to go back and re-read my post, but I don't think I made the foolish and rash statement that I was not going to buy anything new! Without further ado....here are my favorites:
CRATE PAPER - Portrait Collection
CRATE PAPER - Emma's Shoppe
MAYA ROAD -
Ledger Tansparencies
Sew Cute Chipboard in a larger size
ATC size chipboard shadow box
ECHO PARK - For the Record
MEMORY WORKS - Destinations
COSMO CRICKET - Social Club and Salt Air
OCTOBER AFTERNOON - Five and Dime
PINK PAISLEE - Daily Junque and Hometown Summer
HAMBLY SCREEN PRINTS - Washi Tape
And the ever favorite BASICGREY - Hello Luscious, Sweet Threads, and Life of the Party
WE ARE MEMORY KEEPERS - Lucky 8 Punches
Notice a theme of sorts? There are some bright colors up there, but mostly it is vintage and shabby. Be still my fluttering heart!!
So what about you? Did you find any must-haves from winter CHA -11? Anything really light a creative spark and just make you want to go make something?
