mini cha visit

here's my little post from cha, super tardy. i know that these same sort of pics are all over the web already, ha!

studio calico's booth was awesome. i love their simple but totally amazing eye candy. every layout in that booth was AWESOME. they have such a great team!

cute japanese tape!

 

one of the lines i am most excited about. dear lizzy! her display was too cute. love seeing all the details in real life!

 

anna griffin butterflies!

 

making memories is coming out with a cool jewelry line with jill schwartz! i actually made a necklace and love it! i don't think i've ever done make and takes at the shows but this time i did a few! how could you pass up those cute little trinkets!? i'm hoping kira wants to do a jewelry making party this year for her birthday 🙂

 

more butterflies! (making memories booth) this reminded me of a jellyfish of butterflies. all made from the slice. i want that thing so bad! but apparently not bad enough to take a picture with the vespa 🙂

 

more tape! this is from pink paislee. love the cute designs! they have some pleated ribbon that looks just awesome too!

 

i want to do this 🙂 (doodlebug booth) next time i see cute wrapping paper, i want to frame it 🙂

 

i'm excited for margie's new line. you walked into her booth and could just see the hours she put into making the statement she wanted to. there were so many amazing details. i love the big pink lanterns the best. we know these convention centers are not pretty! i love how designers are trying to pretty-fy them 🙂

 

highlight of my day, spending time with my good friend, shannon and seeing her layouts in real life. i forgot to get a pic of us together, so her in her layout will do 🙂 there's something about seeing layouts in real life that just gets me. especially shannon's. there's always so much more texture in real life, like that pink flower- it's pop dotted. one of my favorite layouts of hers ever!

other company booths i forgot to take pics of but are totally worth mentioning:

october afternoon, jenni bowlin, KI memories, cosmo cricket,crate paper, hero arts 🙂

it was a good day for sure 🙂 chris told me that his day with the kids went fine and just as he was putting elsie to bed, she rolled over and started whimpering, mommy…. and guess who walked in the door 🙂 perfect timing 🙂
