CHA happiness and a few fav's I've seen so far

I love CHA which is the Craft and Hobby Association


Someday I hope to attend just to take it all in. It overwhelms my mind just to see all of the fun over the internet. Ahhh... Someday. There are so many talented companies, and products Oh my!


BIG EXCITING NEWS!!!
Teresa Collins Stamp Maker WON for:  Innovations Runner Up - Photocentric for the Stamp Maker (Booth # 1343)

This is a great big huge deal, there are so many products and companies just to be nominated is an honor. I'm soooo beyond excited and proud of her!




Last summer was the first one I "tuned" into on the net and last winter I was hooked into watching on Facebook or company blogs (thank you google reader & Twitter) 


Another good tip: follow AMY COON with THE PAPER LIFE! She is there right now interviewing various companies and capturing it on video. She interviewed Making Memories yesterday and we got to see all their new lines! I ADORE Amy, her blog is beyond awesome, tons of great ideas and inspiration all of the time!


Another great source for all of the new scrapbooking product releases: The Scrap Review.


Besides Loving all things Teresa Collins...






I have other fav's and I thought I'd share a few with you today, Warning it's a long post today! Hope you enjoy!!!


Graphic 45's booth last winter just blew me away! I couldn't wait to see what it would look like this time... I'm just starting to spy pictures, from the different companies. The Craft Critique had some good ones this morning, to see more go to their blog.



Ok, LOVE the hat! How awesome!! Serious inspiration happening here!



I am beyond smitten with this line from Crate Paper, it's called Restoration:

  

 

I just may be the last person in the universe to not own a Sizzix machine, or any other machine you could run the Tim Holtz Alterations thru... But IF I did....

Speaking of machines... This little gem is so neat looking!

And how about this? Configurations - On my coolness ranking I'd give it a big fat 10! 

Ok, so Tim and Ranger (love those distress stickles!!! Although I should probably have all the new inks from the winter show release to accompany them, lol!) So many new items, lets just go on record and say, yes, I love it all! 

Ok, One More then I'll quit...This is NOT to say I don't have more fav's, but how long can a blog post be before you all loose some serious interest??? 

House of 3 and Pink Paislee

Love the flower darlings, ruffled darlings, TICKETS and how cute are those Anthology Notes? Seriously adorable collection. So, YES, I'm aware the right side of the picture is cutting off, sorry! It's either a little cut off or so small you can't see it, However if you click on the Pink Paislee link above you'll be able to see the WHOLE Picture. :)  

Have a great day! ~Cheri

PS, What are your favorites so far? Leave me a comment and let me know what you've seen out there that you have your eyes on. :)

The Excitement continues...

Words can not explain...

What an EXCITING WEEEK!!!! First the album being hosted on Monday on The Paper Life

Now this.....

What a HUGE HONOR...

I'm featured on Teresa Collins Designs Blog! Well, OK, both I and the Welcome home album are!

Click here ------> Teresa Collins Designs Blog  Friday's Spotlight! Please go check it out, all week they have been showing ideas on the TRAVEL LEDGER Line that was announced last week!  Teresa, Stephanie and Camille made gorgeous albums, I keep going back and looking, so much fun to look at! Jamie showed some great ideas on how to use it in just everyday layout pages, gorgeous! Candice showed really great cards, and yesterday...Stephanie showed ribbons that were stamped with the TRAVEL LEDGER stamps!!!


OK, Yes, ANYONE that knows me knows that I'm a HUGE fan of Teresa Collins Designs. The paper is double sided and well thought out. What I mean about well thought out is, you know when you are cutting something out of the paper then to realize OH darn, I wanted part of the other side and now look!!! I have done this so many times in the past, I can't buy it local so I have to make sure I don't mess up. She doesn't put those obvious papers together on one sheet, for example on the WELCOME HOME line, the frames paper that clearly could be used as I did by cutting them out..it has the patterned home sweet home words on the back, I didn't accidentally cut anything out that I needed. I know it's really trivial, but it's something I look at when I buy my supplies. 


So besides that bit of goodness, aren't the lines Gorgeous!!! I mean, wow!!! I'm drawn to them like white on rice, I just received the Chick babe boy and girl lines and they are beyond amazing the pictures just don't do them justice, wait till you see what I have in mind for them, Oh wait, I've got nothing, I'm going to go stare at them some more today, HA!!! I wish I knew someone getting married so I could play with the MR. &. MRS. line, Isn't June right around the corner, where's the weddings???? More than anything though, I can't wait to get the new one, TRAVEL LEDGER that was just released, I have PLANS for that one! 


Anyway, What a week! Blessed in more ways than one. Have a great day! If the sun hangs out at all today I may get some pictures taken and do another post.  ~Cheri
