CHA Day 4 or 5...I've lost track! Final day of show...

We've had so much fun here in Chicago visiting with all our friends from the scrapbook industry. It's been a very successful show and we've met so many amazing retail store owners...but we're soooo tired. I always love the last day of the show...things tend to slow down and we have time to visit! 

Here's some pictures of some fun guests we chatted with today!

Catherine from Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine

Teresa Collins loved playing with the i-rock
tool the night before that she had to let us know!! 

Cath Edvalson & Susan Opel from Creating Keepsakes

Barbara Tanner (my favorite ad rep ever!) from CK

Also, I was over visiting my friend Madison of Echo Park. His booth was right next to Punky Sprouts booth. Then out of the corner of my eye I noticed that one of their very cute samples was made with our Apple Cider Collection. I think our sweet Sarah de Guzman might have created this one since she works with them a lot. Check out their cute products on the Punky Sprouts website.

Thanks to all our friends that helped make CHA Summer show FUN!! So happy to see you all, but SOOOO happy to be home!!

I know you're all wondering about another giveaway for the week! Well we'd brought home one of our i-rock Totes from the show! So let's give one of those cute things away and we'll be sure to fill it with some paper goodies for you! All you need to do is SMILE and tell us what crafty project you have planned for the weekend (and laundry does NOT count)!!

Class Description Flowers are all the rage right now and you’re going to love making your own! Join us in class where our focus will be learning 4 ways to create fabulous handmade flowers from a variety of papers, ribbon, and fabric. Plus, no flower is complete without a colorful center and the i-Top tool is perfect for adding that finishing touch. We’ll show you how to use this versatile tool for making flower centers. You’ll use several of your flower creations to complete a one page layout and take the rest with you for use at home. As an added bonus we will provide you with instructions to make 8 more flowers! We think you’ll find these flowers are addicting and that you’ll create them over and over again.
