Still more CHA Pics

We found this little company in the new vendors' section... These are the designers of "Dream Street Papers". They were so excited that we were asking to take their picture. And why wouldn't we? Their papers were fabulous. You are going to love them! Arriving Soon!!!

Army Kelley, we thought of you when we ordered these bags from "Across the Street"... The one on the left is a caddy that spins, and the one on the right is an organizer to hold all your letters in little boxes.
These also look adorable in the pink/black version, which we ordered as well.

Even more CHA Pics

Jody made this in a Junkitz class. It is a cute picture, but even more adorable in person. Wait until you see all the unbelievable Junkitz products that will be coming to SU.

More CHA Pics

Several companies had clocks to be altered. These, from Heidi Swapp, had different overlays to choose from for the face, and then just beg to be personalized. We cannot wait to see what you do with yours!

More CHA pics

We had so much fun talking to Emily Adams at Imaginisce... (She is posing in the above picture, to mimic her paper design in picture #2.) Shannon, no wonder you're such a fan of hers-- she is wonderful! (and a phenemenal designer-- wait 'til you see what's coming!)

CHA Day 4

We were only at the show for part of the day today, but we got TONS done in just a few hours...

Today we saw 7 Gypsies, Crate Paper, Bazzill, Chatterbox, Technique Tuesday, Cosmo Cricket, and more!~ Here are a few of the page samples we loved.

CHA Day 3

After the show, Jody and I took a break and went to Disney Land (right across the street.) -- Pictures from this day of the show are on another camera- they will be uploaded soon!

Shhh! Don't tell our husbands we were kissing the Mouse!

We were so "tired" we had to rest for a minute.

Be sure to ask Jody or Ami about the trouble we got into at Disney Land... The picture below is a hint... The things we do for our children!

After a long hard day of a trade show AND Disney, we finally made it to Naples, a wonderful Italian restaurant. Yes, the pizza is almost gone, and we also finished off a tray of fried zucchini sticks (yum!), and a caesar salad. (NO dieting on trade show trips!)

CHA Day 2

Suze Weinberg was at the Ranger booth demonstrating how to use UTEE... Wanda Green is going to be SO proud of me!

Several of you have asked us to look at this line. We did, and it was great! Wait till you see all the adorable styles they have.

Ami & Jody with Teresa Collins from Junkitz. She was so excited that we were buying her new line!

For all you Elsie fans, Elsie's new line is totally adorable, And yes, we are getting it all! We are posing with her in "Elsie's Kitchen" at her booth-- probably the cutest booth at the show.

Just one of the many great page samples we saw at the show. We have tons more pictures of pages that we will be posting on the blog and in the store.

CHA Day 1

We ordered SO much Heidi Swapp! You are going to love all her great stuff.


We found a GREAT new line in the New Vendors Section. Remember the name "Tinkering Ink". First, you are going to love their lines. We are thinking that they are going to become a popular name in the scrapbook industry soon. The owners (above) husband and wife, and so cute. Notice that his tie matches her dress. (Does this remind you of someone else we know and love? :) ) Even the candy that they gave us were specially made to match their paper lines. (a little over-the-top, maybe, but again, a little Jody-ish, and fun!)



Another great new line... these girls are the designers of this line. The owner (the tall one) is also "Pottery Barn Girl" on 2Peas! A Great new line, coming soon!

Pam & Jen's Party

Remember Pam & Jen? We we invited to their exclusive party at Downtown Disney's House of Blues, where their brand new line was debuted. As expected, everything they had was gorgeous! They were very excited to introduce their new line. They said to say "Hi" to everyone at SU. Yes, of course we bought their entire line... How could we not? It will start shipping mid-Feb. We went to lots of vendors' parties during the 5 days we were in CA, and theirs was one of the best.

We're Baaack!!!

We are so excited to share all that we have seen with you! First, we apologize for not being able to send you pics from CHA... We took tons of pics with Ami's cell phone, and for whatever reason, were unable to upload them to the blog. But, we will get as many as possible posted tonight, and more over the next couple of days.

Day One Complete!

We found SO many great things for you today! Imagination Project... Around the Block... Me & My Big Ideas... and so much more! Some new companies that have great products, never seen before. Pictures will be uploaded ASAP.

Jody & Ami @ CHA!!

We are writing this to you from Annaheim, California, where we are attending the world's largest scrapbook trade show. Be sure to check in each day- whenever we're able to, we'll be posting pictures and news about all the FUN things we find. We are very excited to be here, and want our customers to be able to share some of the fun!!
We were able to order some things early, which means they will be shipping first-- SU will be among the first stores in the country to get some collections!
We have been given special badges to get into the show early each day-- giving us more time to shop for great stuff for you! Can't wait to share...
