I had decided to pass on cha this year. But as the date got closer I was regretting my decision.
So when I got a 2nd chance to go, I was all over it!
Getting into downtown LA:
Of course we had to hit the Teresa Collins booth. Always classy, Always gorgeous! Teresa always makes it a point to talk with everyone. My friend, Echo, was running the make n take.
Some yummy TC Blingage eye candy:
We had fun making cards at the We R Memory Keepers booth. I can't decide which of their new tools I like best, the big pink cutting mat, the piercing/brad setting tool, the heart attack distressing tool, or the Lucky 8 punches that everyone was buzzing about:
Love all the new stamp sets at Girl's Paperie.
Even got a chance to play with them for the cutest make n take ever!
silly girls:
Pretty soon we were in a timholtz wonderland. We were surrounded by the latest Stamper's Anonymous products, drooling over all the new Sizzix Alterations, ooh-ing & aah-ing over the new Idea-ology releases, & giddy over the new Core'dinations & Paper Stash collections! The visit wouldn't have been complete without getting to meet & chat with Tim :)
Afterward I got to stare at him some more when he did a demo of the new Distress Stains:
It's no secret - the man is a creative genius! I love how he teaches, so easy going & explains everything to really make it do-able for us non-genius types.
One final pic for today - Lisa checking out the cupcakes at the always fabulous Nikki Sivils booth:
I'll upload more pix tomorrow of some of the amazing projects I saw at CHA-Winter 2011.
