CHA day 3

So I noticed something about CHA- day 2 (on the floor) is much more productive than Day 1. For reals. I was like a kid in a candy shop day 1-- running around looking at paper, meeting up with friends, taking pictures.... it was alot.

The second day on the floor was all about focus and really thinking about future Elle's Studio project kits, collecting catalouges, and brainstorming. FUN. Here are a few more pics...

Loved hanging out at Lily Bee's booth. I know i have already blogged about their four new lines quite a bit- but WOW are they gorgeous in real life. I really enjoyed meeting Kristen (the owner and designer) for the first time-- she is so fun!!!

I feel really blessed and fortunate to be on this team-- such great people. We all had a lot of fun together.

A few other booth pics I want to share... Crate Paper had a gorgeous booth with many tiny vintage touches.

i've been a fan of Christine Middlecamp's work for a few years now-- the details and layering she puts into her layouts are just incredible. So seeing some of her work in real life was a treat. She's just awesome (i was gawking too much to take a photo!).

I am really excited for all three lines coming out, and especially have my eye on the Christmas line-- Peppermint. it's a perfect mix of christmas and every day papers. you know you made a great Christmas line when sweet Keshet (who celebrates Hanukkah) wants to buy this line :)

October Afternoon's booth was really fun and well-thought out. It was an Wild West Saloon (inspired by their new line Sasparilla... which i had to ask what a sasparillia was/is-- ha.). Brain-dead me never got a photo of the outside of the booth or anything--- sheesh! (however jenny larson has some great photos of it.)

This project? Incredible. Trying to find out who did it because really it's a piece of art. (ETA: just found out it's by the incredible Jill Sprott!) Really loving how she worked in all the ephemera in Farmhouse.

Miss Lexi made this incredible layout with Boarding Pass-- i am really in awe of the design and those airplanes? genius.

Their Sidewalks line is very carefree and happy-- how cute are those little flags?

Loved seeing some of Marcy's work up close-- her whimsy style and layers are gorgeous!!

Another booth i really enjoyed was Melissa Frances-- they have a GORGEOUS Christmas line called Deck the Halls-- very soft, clean, vintage, and sparkly. Different from many of the Christmas lines out there.

Love this layout by Danielle Flanders-- i am such a fan of her work!

Just think of all the fun projects you could do with these items! I love those little houses to pieces- and those vintage ornaments are just gorgeous!

It was such a great show. I left so inspired... and feeling SO blessed to work for such great companies (Elle's Studio, Lily Bee, and Ella Publishing). It really meant so much meeting these friends and spending time together.

Thanks for swinging by!!
