CHA ~ day 3 & 4 (and a giveaway...)

 

Every time I go to CHA, I'm overwhelmed with so much CREATIVITY!  I love seeing all the new products out there, I'm excited to go home and dream up new designs to make with them, I LOVE getting some time with my CHA buddies, and I enjoy bringing a little bit of that back home to share with YOU!

So, I want to do a GIVEAWAY of some CHA goodies I got at this show!!!

But before I give the details of the giveaway, I wanted to share some more pictures from CHA...

Here I am with Susan from Clear Scraps and Elisa K, one of the awesome DT ladies for Clear Scraps!  I'm not on their DT anymore, but I {heart} Clear Scraps and everyone on the team and I do some freelance work for them whenever they need it!

Here's a picture of one of their new products... a 12x12 acrylic top-loading album:

I made this one with some lovely Pink Paislee products and I'm SO loving that it's a 12x12 album and I can still showcase the beauty of acrylic!!

 I also taught their class again and it was a BLAST!  Here's a few pictures from the class.  Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures until it was done, so there were a LOT more people in the class than it may look like...

So many great ladies in the class!  I even had a few guys this time which was fun to see!

Looking a little tired after the class... lol

 

And here's more products I liked at the show.  I really liked this idea from Canvas Corp.  I think I need to make something like this, just little bit more "A Kiss on the Chic"...

 

This was in Tim Holtz booth.  I love it because he used his tissue tape to cover the sides of the frame and then used ink or paint to give it some color!  Love it.

Me and the lovely Donna Salazar!!  She has THE BEST smile.  It is such an infectious smile, how can you see that smile and not smile back??  Speaking of Donna, I am finishing up a project that I can't wait to share with you that I used her distresser on and it's SO darn cute!  (I'll share soon...)

Ok, I wore my FAV jacket one of the days and Kelly Goree was in love with it! :)  Unfortunately, the jacket is years old and you probably won't find it for sale anywhere. So I told her I'd take a picture with her and send it to her so she could remember what it looked like and try to find one similar!  It's kind of a weird angle on the photo of me, but I will forgo my vanity for Kelly to have a picture of my jacket! hehehe...

The lighting is a little dark here, but here's some Webster's yumminess!!

Here's some GREAT layouts from the DT ladies at Webster's!  

And here's me and Brandin on the last day of the show!  I went by and said HI every day, but they were SO busy,  (yeah, that is a GREAT THING...) that I finally said I HAVE to try and squeeze in a photo with them on the last day!  And look at their GORGEOUS papers and embellishments behind us!  So excited to be on this team!!!

And last but NOT least...  I had a BLAST with my girl, Heidi Sonboul at GCD Studios!  I helped her set up the booth on Thursday and let me tell you, that girl WORKED SO HARD!!!  Their booth was AMAZING, in fact... It WON the BEST BOOTH AWARD!!  That is SO cool and I have to give MAJOR PROPS to Heidi for that!  She worked for weeks and weeks on all the cuteness in that booth!  So here's a few pictures of us on the last day as we did a little "photo shoot" ...

 Oh my goodness, we had so much FUN!  They have a new Carnival line that is SO darn cute, I can't wait to play with it!!  But we had fun acting like little kids in their booth and I just wish we lived closer so we could hang out all the time!  

So that is my time at CHA Winter!  I had a blast, it went by too fast, I wish I had more time with all my friends and I made some GREAT contacts for some future plans!  I hope you enjoyed coming along on my journey, even if it was just a little sneak peek into what goes on at CHA.  

Now, I'm going to take some time off and get the house back in order, clean up my scrap room, relax a little with the family and get some assignments done for the Design Teams I'm on...

If you want to be entered into the GIVEAWAY for some CHA goodies, just leave a comment here and let me know what you are MOST "wowed" by in the new product lines coming out of this CHA!  I will pick a winner NEXT  "Love, Tuesday" post!!

Have a GREAT week,

Laura

Love the pictures! It doesn't seem possible these companies can continue to come out with such beautiful things! LOL. Looking forward to seeing more CHA goodies. BTW, you and I need to go shopping... You put the greatest color combo's together.

So hard to find just one favorites the list could go on and on but I think Pink Paislee's House of Three collection might be one of my favorites.

i'm kinda in love with banners, circuses and festivals of all kinds so i was immediately drawn to the carnival line. it makes me think of sunny days, happy kids and fun food...cotton candy, funnell cakes, lemonade and maybe even a hot dog.

Thanks for sharing the photos of your fun at CHA Laura, and may I say that you look lovely and slim - I don't know why you are always trying to lose weight!!!

My favorites of all the new stuff I've seen are Webster's Pages, because their goodies are always so fabulous - those new jewel pins are amazingly gorgeous! And Pink Paislee - I am so impressed by all the things they have been coming out with the last couple of seasons.

That canvas wreath thingy that you showed was really cute. But I think, like you, it should be kissed on the chic! What about some of Melissa F's brooches?

[Jena Baker]

I'm the most "wowed" by Glubers introduced by Julie from Cosmo Cricket. The Gluber possibilities are endless...
