Goooooood Mooooorrrrnnnninnnnng!
(It's still evening here...but I figure most of you won't read this
till your sippin' on that first cup of coffee)
Okay gals, I have to warn you...I'm typing up this post in a late night stupor...I'm having a wonderful time here at CHA but I am on major CrAfTy SenSoRy OVERLOAD!!!! My goal was to walk the entire show floor today...I made it slightly to half...So I've got to pick up the pace tomorrow and git'er done!!!!
I have taken SO SO SO SO SO many photos today...317 to be exact!! I was desperately trying to get a slide show up for ya...but evidently the stars aren't quite lined up... and it's taking way too long. I promise to create one as soon as I return home to share ALL of our photos...
In the meantime...here are just a few to satisfy you for now...
this one I'm certain is going to get a very high squeal factor from some of you...Tracy w/ Helmar has created a prototype for a glue bottle holder....by storing them upside down, it will eliminate the "burping up" syndrome that our glue bottles sometimes have! I'm super excited about it...I told her to leave them unfinished cuz then we can all paint them up and alter them in our own unique style! It even has a drip tray that easily slides out...She did GooD huh?!?!
Can anyone say Ice Ice Baby?!?!?? You are gonna love the NEW colors of ICE Stickles...Ranger has taken some of the Stickles best sellers and super-sized the glitzy yum into ICE Stickles! I love the chunky glitter and the bigger bottle!
Also introducing something NEW...(sorry for the camera glare)
It's Dylusions Mists...
These mists are so striking...drop dead color!!! and they are a NEW featured product along with some fabulous stencils from Ranger's NEW artist Dyann...
She is super-talented and has a very unique style (along with a delightful accent...I love listening to her as she did her demos today). Here's a quick look at one of her sample projects...
and here is a look at the display for the Distress Ink Markers....you can purchase them individually or if you just have to have them ALL right away...like me :)
You can purchase the entire set...it is housed in a tube cylinder...great for storage! The storage cylinder will also be sold seperately for those of you that choose to acquire a couple at a time...
Here are a few other project pic's to inspire you...
Tim's NEW Alterations dies are to "die" for.....LOL! Sorry, I couldn't help myself...been wanting to use that pun for a while now...hee hee! There are many new ones...here's a look at a few...this one has a special sentiment on it ...from me to you...
a few more pretties to look at.....
Here's a peek at some one-of-a-kind projects that were on display in Jenni Bowlin's booth...Love the look of these....I really felt inspired by these creations...
Jenni is such an inspiration to me and I love how personable she is! She is even going to give us the "hook Up" on some great display pieces and some other surprises (not going to tell you just yet :O) for the Little Blue House! Thanks Jenni...You are the BEST!!
We have seem some really over the top Trees here at the show...Take a look at this one...It may be hard to tell but it is covered in clusters of paper butterflies and beautiful crystals, keys, and other "junque"-y sweetness...
Here's a little more scrappy joy for you...
Here's a project that simply BLEW me AWAY!!! It features the NEW Abroad line from Studio Calico...I thought was so clever.... the states are die cut pieces that are packaged as an embellishment to the paper line...so no fussy cutting!
Here is a little eye candy from the Sizzix booth....
We caught ourselves all taking pictures of it at the same time...look at the reflection in the mirror...we look like the Crafty Papparazzi!!!...(Susan tells me that's how you spell it)
Kristyn got really excited today as we learned all about Ice Resin!
Talk about a KewL product...can't wait to show you more...
Susan enjoyed visiting with Kristen Robinson...the author of Tales of Adornment. She actually wore a necklace today that she won on Kristen's blog....
and now for even more pretties...
We loved meeting up with Paige Evans and Amy Tan today! Amy was kind enough to donate an autographed sketch book that we will be giving away to one lucky commenter!
I love the look of her new line...Sketchbook!
Loved her t-shirt too....super cute...
and on that note...I think I better get off this laptop and try to get some rest! Have one more day and a whole lotta ground to cover!!! Love you Gals...please keep those comments coming! The LBH gals and I love reading them...You really know how to make us smile!!!
Be Kind...Be Crafty!
Miss Tracy :)
P.S. Look what else was released at this show...Tim junkees are gonna luv it! A Compendium of Curiosities Volume II
