CHA spotlight: The Crafter’s Workshop
“I’ll take one of each”
That would be me, in the Crafter’s Workshop booth. The designs this show are outstanding – they’ve really outdone themselves!! 99.9% of my stencils get made by this company – there is a reason. THEY ROCK! And I’m not just saying that because I adore both Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and Dina Wakley. Oh and Rhonda Palazzari’s designs are rockin’ my world as well. Seriously, just take a look…
CHA Spotlight: Lucky Charm
From American Crafts:
Featuring an endearing assortment of charm bracelet icons — flowers, horses, hot air balloons, hearts and arrows — Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm is a dreamland of color and patterns. Sweet pinks, aqua, yellow, red-orange and cream are grounded with a fun navy blue that make this collection charming. Lucky you.
This inviting collection features 24 patterned papers, plus five specialty papers such as printed vellum and gold metallic ruffle paper. Thickers and stickers abound, with new additions making an appearance, including die-cut cards. Brilliant.
This collection blew me away at first sight – I am very excited to see the coral/melon and navy blue combo, and the designs are utterly fantastic for spring or anytime crafting.
Elizabeth Kartchner is just the cutest – and look at that album!! A total must have. Here are more photos of the booth, samples, and the Lucky Charm line… Continue reading “CHA Spotlight: Lucky Charm”

CHA spotlight: Brenda Walton for Sizzix
Brenda Walton has been designing beautiful paper crafting lines for quite a while with K&Co, and now she has expanded into die cuts with Sizzix – a partnership I am very excited about! I was surprised (and totally delighted!) to come around the corner and find Brenda herself in the booth (she’s on the right) – and what a display she had set up! I wanted to pour a cup of tea, have some cucumber sandwiches and scones, and just move in.
Brenda herself was so kind and wonderful to speak with – and I can hardly wait for April to come around because that is when her line “favorite things” is estimated to ship to retailers. Truly the photos will speak for themselves –
