GIVEAWAY and CHA Part 2!
**warning: picture heavy post!!!**
Most of the companies at CHA have cute little giveaways for you if you visit their booths or place an order. Just cute little bags, pins, product promo, etc, far more than any one person could ever put to use, so I am going to share!! This is my "wish you were there" giveaway! There's enough here split into two, so that's what I'll do. As a scrapbooker it really is a fun experience and I feel very lucky to have been there! So, just leave a comment at the end of this post telling me what your favourite CHA new realeases are so far! I will draw a couple of names on Monday!
OK, on with picture-palooza!
I promised some people pictures and here they are!
Here's Sandy up early checking in with the Scrap Shotz gals:
After checking in online and a quick breakfast, we hopped on the shuttle to the convention centre:
On the first day, people arrived very very early and started lining up inside the Rosemont Center, for the doors to the floor to open at 9am sharp!
OK, onto some more product pics!
My personal favourite release at the show was Paper Crate's "Prudence" Collection. The colours are so beautiful and it had just enough giltter to be fun and feminine:
The other Pink Paislee line, Pop Fashion:
The Making Memories booth was absolutely beautiful and their Paperie line is simply stunning!
Making Memories also had custom M&M's everywhere!!! Don't I look hard at work here putting together great kits??? Actually, I think I am adding up the calories in all the M&Ms I had consumed up to that point LOL!
Chatterbox had a beautiful new release, "Together". That peacock blue and red combo is just stunning!
Prima really blew it out of the water at this show, everything in their booth was just amazing, innovative, and so well done! LOVED these canvas lollipop flowers:
Hard at work in the Prima booth was my fellow Crop and Cruise instructor and new friend, Trisha Ladouceur!! Her build-a-book was getting a lot of attention, with good reason, it's great!
OK, some Basic Grey! They had a HUGE new release, and some amazing new chipboard in white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate! I really loved Urban Prairie and Offbeat:
Jenni Bowlin's booth was so charming! Vintage done so very well:
Doodleug never disappoints with their vibrant colours and cool finishes:
And Heidi Grace had some fun new stuff, especially Reagan's Closet:
Sassafrass Lass had an adorable booth and some really cute new stuff!
Heidi Swapp herself was there working hard promoting three very strong new releases. Love this one, pink and green for winter, beautiful!
One of my favourite new Maya Road releases, this little scalloped album! Their booth was eye candy at it's best!
I will end this very lengthy post with two more people pics, the Canadian Scrapbooker Team whom I had the pleasure of getting to know better over some wine and pizza (a huge thank you to them for all the opportunities they have thrown my way!) and my partner in crime and good friend, Sandy! We email everyday, see each other only once a year, but it feels like we've been friends forever!
Thanks for stopping by, hope the product pics gave you a good feel for what's out there and don't forget to leave a comment to be entered to win some of that fun stuff up there!!
Oh! And stop by Scrap Shotz this weekend for our "Music Mania" online crop, it's going to be another great one!
Simple and beautiful as always.
