CHA.12 [Day 1]

The first day is always a whirlwind of activity, trying to figure out what you want to see most, and finding friends :] NOT being a store, I don't have to worry about hurrying to purchase product when companies run their specials, so I just get to enjoy what I love most about paper crafting-- the people & the products!

After meeting rukristin-- Kristin IRL at the airport :] we headed to CHA, here's some images & details from our day:
Today's first feature and my absolute favorite line of the season personally-- Dear Lizzy's 5th & Frolic. I am in LOVE with this line, and cannot wait to get my hands on every bit of it. The pastels are dreamy, the embellies are ADORABLE & how can you NOT love anything she does? And such a sweetheart, every time I meet up with her! [& SUCH a cute make n take!]



[a NEW polaroid paper to hoard :] ]




If you didn't know, it was Elle's Studio's first show this year, they released some super cute new tags, pennants & calendars that are PERFECT to add to PL, or any page, adore the colors and cannot wait to get my hands on them, had a BLAST meeting Elle & Jenni for the first time :] Just check out this awesome layout--



  


Now I LOVE my Mr. Huey's, and an occasional OA Sprinklers kinda girl, but once Heidi Swapp started sharing sneaks of her new SHINE, I just had to find out more. Her resist products were a huge hit, along with the memory files that came out last CHA, but I wasn't quite sure how to really use them, until today, and I will be buying up allllll the colors of Shine for sure! Her make n take let you try them out, here's mine:



&& she had an adorable instaframe, so here we are:

  6. 5th and Frolic is so so so pretty! I am going to NEED that but with my luck and geographical disadvantage I'll probably get it in a year, if at all. Zzzz I so hope studiocalico would have it as shop item so I can get my hands on it!

    You look like you had so much fun! :D

  7. I forgot to comment about Heidi Swapp's Shine! That looks absolutely fantastic! I'm I'm such trouble, I actually JUST bought my first mist which is the Mr Hueys and I'm in love, in love! I don't know why I didn't try it out sooner! You'll see the mist in just about every project I made for the hop, Shay! LOL. How does the Shine compare to Hueys?
