cha one day

on sunday, i spent a day at cha- browsing the booths and catching up with friends, meeting new ones, oohing and aaahing over paper and stickers :) i always feel funny busting out the camera so here are a few things that caught my eye.
at heidi swapp's booth:

one of my favorite things to do is see demos with new product. i shop 99% of my supplies online so if i don't see an example of how to use something, i probably won't buy it. but i got to see and try this new product out and i can't wait to get my hands on it! (invisible line by heidi)

her examples were phenomenal and inspires me to dig in my existing HS stash.
i always love the anna griffin booth. the classy feel of it just makes me happy! this is my favorite of their new releases, riley. they even had chairs upholstered with the circus print! cuuuute! it was a joy to see this photo i took of the hero bunch at last year's cha- blown up near their booth..as always their make and take tables were packed because they always host the cutest projects!
for my fellow owl friends:
loved the butterflies at hambly!!! and you can see a little bit of the onesies in the upper left hand corner. their booth was of course beaming with happiness!
i adore these letter stickers from Prima! they might be hard to see but the way they look on paper afterwards is adorable! there's a little bit of a peek at the top of the photo.
one of my favorite lines-- just happy and cutesy- and called mommy and me! how cute is that!!! from prima..
love the new lines from bella blvd- they had the yummiest displays! stephanie is so creative!
im not a big project person but i KNOW i am going to make one of these for our {JAC} studio! how cute would it be to display our different brides on this turny thing?! adorable!
love the teen lines at making memories- appropriate and tasteful and cute without being overly cutesy.. as is their new travel line!
my mind's eye never disappoints- this penny lane is too cute! i want it all! :)
a gooobery pic of me being a nerd about product :) girl friday by cosmo cricket- love it all. so excited to use it.
and i really wish my walls at home looked like this- i want a giant spinner and framed paper :)
a lot of the booths had frames like this but sass's whole booth rocked. i love the new mix of brad packs and the papers and embellies- all so cute. look what they had outside their booth. loved it!!

and of course one of my favorite things about CHA- seeing what the marvelous Kim Sabel at KI Memories comes up with :) they have some super cute lines coming out- love the fresh fonts and colors- and the new packaging!!!
this also took my breath away-- seeing my friend's layouts covering a wall-(shannon tidwell) she truly out did herself! i think she needs to do this in her own home! i thought i was going to be able to go to the 2p social- but i got my days mixed up.. bummer! i had a great time walking the floors and have the shoulder ache to prove it! some others i loved but didn't get pics of: doodlebugs new lines- the braddies and papers are adorable! and jenni bowlin has some cuuute embellishments! american crafts also didn't disappoint- consistently good stuff coming from them! and i didn't have the patience to sit and view paris- there were too many (taller) people ahead of me, lol :)  i am sure there are more but i can't recall as i had very little sleep last night. i love this hobbY!!! :)

Great to see all the goodies.
Can anyone come or do you have to own a store? I haven't been to any scrapbook convention. :-( Hopefully this year.

Hi Jamie! I'm the dork that stopped you and said "you're Jaime Waters". I was as excited to see you as others were to see Paris. Ha ha. Just curious...did you make it to paint a ceramic cupcake? I realized after you left that you all love cupcakes and how this was a perfect project for you!

Gwen =)

Thanks so much for the awesome pics of CHA - I have read about it but not seen many pictures. Would love to go, but just a tad expensive to travel from Australia.
Looks like some awesome products coming up!
