CHA Winter 2014: Brenda Walton for Sizzix

1473 copy

The best styled large company booth is Sizzix. They have lots of separate artists/areas and each one is decorated so fantastically and with so much attention to detail it really is amazing.

CHA Winter 2014: Faber-Castell

Gelatos that are double the size of normal and new whipped spackle? Yes please!

512 copy

515 copy

Here you see me trying out the whipped medium (it is very much like molding paste) and gelatos on an acrylic heart. I like the light texture of this – I’ll definitely be making a video about it as soon as I can get some of my own!

533 copy

The “double scoop” are really just large gelatos so if you have wished for a bigger size – this is for you!

535 copy

Also released were chalkboard paint and bead glitter gel. Both seem like really nice mediums just not things I’d use. I’ll be sticking with the spackle.

I can’t find it in my notes – but I do believe these items will be shipping very soon. Also, I had a student yesterday request that I do more gelato tutorials so that will indeed be coming soon!

(and by soon I mean after I unpack, finish posting CHA items, and get my new on-line class all set up!)

CHA Winter 2014: Technique Tuesday

497 copy

The arrow frame die + stamp set that fits perfectly? This is my MUST HAVE from the Technique Tuesday booth. Ali Edwards continues to delight me with her handwriting + useful designs for scrapbooking and more.

Oh but there is more – and I’m really excited about all of the scrapbook and pocket page friendly designs from Technique Tuesday. I’ll show you some favorites!

CHA Winter 2014: Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper

mh29 copy

One of my favorite styled booths, as well as favorite lines of the show was Maggie Holmes Style Book for Crate Paper.

m9 copy

This is her third line for Crate Paper, and the overall feel coordinates with the two previous releases beautifully while adding new patterns, motifs, and designs.
