I’m quite sure that you all thought I disappeared off of the face of the earth. I’ve found things to be busy at CHA – you know, things to see, people to meet. Since it is my first CHA you can imagine that my eyes are wide with wonder and it is sensory overload. I wanted to hop online very quick to tell you about some new things that caught my eye.
Coming from a bona fide gadget junkie, this little baby is the niftiest tool. It is made by Imaginisce and will be available starting September 1st. It basically allows you to make covered buttons as brads using either paper, fabric, felt, lace, velour, velvet or any other material that is slightly pliable. I’m a huge button/brad fanatic but my budget usually holds me back; I can’t wait until I can make my own. This tool make three different sizes and helps to cinch your material in the pink cups while the hammer looking piece of the tool pushes the back onto the brad and secures it. You can have a look HERE to see the tool and supplies.
Moving on, I met a stamping icon at the Hero Arts booth. Jennifer McGuire, was doing make and takes and showing off lots of Hero Arts goodness. Jennifer shared that Hero Arts is now selling stamps in a cling mounted format!! Yay!!! Although they already have clear offerings, those who love red rubber but bemoan the storage issue are definitely in luck!!
There are quite a few remarkable paper lines at the show so keep your eyes out for Graphic 45, Cosmo Cricket, Pink Paislee, October Afternoon, Jenny Bowlin. Hint, hint, I’m twisting the arm of my good friend Michelle Rodgers with Stampers Dream that she needs to carry these. So far she says I’m winning the battle and that some of these have arrived at her store with others soon on the way.
Here is a view of some of the Graphic45 paper . . .
That’s all for now, I’ll post more pictures soon!
Ooooh….thanks for the eye-candy!! Hope you have a wonderful time! God Bless!
O my word, these papers look fabulous, one can not have enough paper :), and a button maker, I think I need one of those too :).
I love seeing all the new releases and know it will take at least 12 months before they are available in UK! Very frustrating!!
Wow…that paper is awesome. I see paper now the way I see fabric for quilting…it’s just so addicting!
I LOVE the button maker as well…I can think of many uses for that!
Have a wonderful time…try not to get too tired…lol

Good evening, Becca, so happy you’re having a good time at CHA. I do envy you. I shall be staying right next door at the Rosen Plaza come September but couldn’t persuade hubby to go there in July. Can you have a word with the sponsers to arrange it for September next year, please :)
TFS!!! Becca, those papers are gorgeous. That gadget looks easy enough to use. Hope your having a fabulous time.
You little stinker, you! I didn’t need A LOT of arm twisting! The i-top Tool and accessories are on order and scheduled to arrive by the end of next week! Woo hoo! The Cherry Hill paper is in stock, the Cosmo Cricket and Basic Grey paper is on order, and I’m waiting for a return call from Graphic 45 on Monday. Geez! What are friends for! ROTF! I’m glad you’re having a great time! :-)
