TOP FAV from CHA !!!

Well the weekend just flew by I was so busy. First of all, CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) Show started last week and ended this weekend so I spent a lot of time drooling over all the new products from some of my favorite companies. I was very sad to not be there this year since I have so enjoyed going in the past. Now that life has settled down, maybe I can try out again for another manufacturer design team and work the show again next time.

Some of my absolute favorite companies came out with some items I have got to get my hands on soon ! Besides the cool new stuff from Queen & Company I posted before, hands down my favorite of all was Maya Road !

Maya Road totally ROCKS once again ! I have such wonderful visions of what I can create with these new items:.

First off, the textures of leather and velvet on their new FLOWER BLOOMS just beg to be touched and is bound to add that extra special oooomph to my projects - all I can think when I see these is the word "LUSCIOUS !"

These totally new Vintage style PEARL PINS are definitely a must have ! And they even come in green leaves too......so hard too choose so I must have BOTH !!

I always have loved the wonderful TRIMS Maya Road comes out with but OH MY....these new POM POM trims are gonna look mighty good on my layouts and mini books, don't you think ? Such rich colors, YUMMY !


and there are lots of new FUN SHAPED SHEERS - theses little owls are so dang cute ! And will come home to roost on my Rice OWLS mini book I am working on right now.... HOOT loves YOU !!! HOOT, HOOT !

I am just dying to get my hot little designer hands on some of their new really CLEVER LAYERED CHIPBOARD ALBUMS like this one....

There are many other wonderful things to share but DH is kinda of expecting me to get dinner on the table. Will post more another time. Good day and happy scrapping to you all !

One company that never disappoints me is Queen and Company and this year is no exception. They have come out with the cutest Sampler Bucket ! Too dang cute and I just love the variety of things that will come in the buckets....Here is an excerpt from their website about these new buckets :
