This post completes my CHA 2013 Recap...An assortment of really cool projects and some seriously cool papers that I can't wait to get my hands on! Let it be know that I am totally in love with all the new Dylusions stamps and Inks, Idea-ology, Sizzix Dies, and Ranger products....OH yeah...loving the new Tim Holtz Collection from Stampers Anonymous!

Wow I'm going to need a second job for all these amazing goodies. I too love the new envelope maker. Thanks again so much for taking the time to share with all of us. Enjoy market!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFabscraps is a South African Company, I am glad to see you liked their stuff. Thanks for all the photos. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThat first scrapbooking page that you said caught your eye but you didn't know who did it(the one with the folded book pages).......it's by "Anna Dabrowska" from Poland. She also goes by "Finnabar". She's an incredible artist and she has her first collection with Prima for this past CHA show. Check out her blog if you get the chance, there is a ton of inspiration there in my humble opinion. (http://tworzysko.blogspot.com) Loved all the pics you took, almost makes me feel like I'm there.
ReplyDeleteOh I so wish I could of fitted in your suit case. Looks like you have had a fab time. Thanks for making we drool all over my key board. Awesome sample of the up and coming.. xox
ReplyDeleteHaven't you had lots of fun ????? Thanks for sharing, can't wait til we can see it in real life !!
ReplyDeleteShannon beat me to the news about Anna. I saw this project in late December, either on her blog or someone else's, and it blew me away! Love the "tour" of CHA!
ReplyDeleteWow another brilliant story board of CHA thank you as always. There are some seriously out of this world projects on display and the new "stuff" is a must but were does one start.
ReplyDeleteWow, so many lovely things, that first Prima project is stunning. Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
ReplyDeleteHere it is. Another wonderful blog

I've been following you around the CHA and I saw so many awesome things! This post is full of amazing products too! wow! My favourites are offcours all the idea-ology products but then there is this kaisercraft armoire.. o my! and not to mention all the amazing papers!
ReplyDeleteI'm finally ahead of the trend - all of my Prima flowers are stored by color in Mason jars. LOL. Love that art piece with the folded book - got to case that one. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm thinking we may be seeing a project with Engravers. Just saying. Have a great trip to market.
ReplyDeleteInspiration... of course... need to have some of those papers! I am so glad that you took the time to take extra pictures to share with us! That makes it easier to know what kinda budget cutting I need to do, in order to get some new goodies!!! Have a safe trip to Dallas!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing in your love of art...... You help me forget about the woes of my day, even if it's just for a little while. :) Hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteHave a super safe trip to Dallas, Jim and we will see you when you get back. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat recap, Jim. Even tho I was there, I loved seeing the highlights through your eyes. Just one question, tho: Did you like Prima's Engraver's collection? :-D
ReplyDeleteI guess you liked Engravers then?! I'm curious to know what the difference is between the old and new version of the Cropodile? Have a good trip to market - looking forward to those inspirational posts too.
ReplyDeleteI hope your trip to big D was good..you should be at your 1st appt. right now. Thank you for all the pictures and for posting everything you loved.
ReplyDeleteSo...tell the truth...did you REALLY love the Prima's ENGRAVER collection? I couldn't tell...LOL!!!
Enjoy Market but try to get some rest, too. Looking forward to your posts from Dallas.
I can see why you are so excited about all the new products. I'll bet your mind is going wild with all the ideas in it! Thanks so much for posting all those pictures. I am getting excited about what I can do!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at Market.

Thanks for sharing! I am drooling over a lot of this. THe papers have me wanting them now. The pieces people created were awesome.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Jim! Thanks for all the great shots and updates! F.Y.I. the altered book (with the bird) is actually by Janine Koczwara (http://www.janinekoczwara.typepad.com/) not Anna (aka Finnabair), they have similar styles, but different of course. I love that you post from all over so we can all live vicariously through you - just as if we too were there! Keep it up!
ReplyDeletesorry for the double post Jim - forgot to mention the Kaisercraft you liked was 'Basecoat'! Great name isn't it?! I want I want I want...it all!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Jim! Thanks for the recap. I want absolutely everything. Not kidding.
ReplyDeleteGreat recap! That boys peeing off the pier paper....I just used that same paper (or maybe several lines have that image) this summer to make a beach journal. My niece picked it out and when we got home we realized what those boys were doing! brahahaaaaa
ReplyDeletewow - great pics and thanks for sharing a variety! You've shown quite a bit that I had not seen yet. I know what you mean about wanting so much if not all...LOL... I've already placed some orders for the new stuff from several places and I havent even made a dent yet in my list. I think this show was one of the best in several years... I wasnt there, but the new products are just amazing this time.
ReplyDeleteOH! so what is this "market" you keep referring to and going to this weekend?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful things ! Prima, Kaisercraft, Finnabair...I looooove these. Thank you to share with us your CHA !
ReplyDeletehahahaa.... I been thinking the same :P I need to sell the house !! All CHA Releases are awesome but the best is to come.. I can't wait to see all the designers ideas to come that's going to be the best! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what caught your eye because you're used to quickly picking out the best like you're doing today at Market. Boy, you're getting all the new stuff one after the other. Good thing all these new goodies aren't instantly available.We can all take on a few odd jobs to fund - well - possibly the entire Engraver's collection. Have a great Market.

ReplyDeleteHey Jim...nice to meet you at CHA last weekend! The Swagger collection is by Fancy Pants. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetie for sharing all the pics. My head would explode if I ever attended and that wouldn't be pretty. Looking forward to seeing what's new at market. Did your cold go away.....did you do your excercising like I told you? ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Jim! My name is Frank and I made the layout with the twine with the Engraver Line. I am so happy you liked that layout as it is one of my favorites and I feel honored that you posted it on your blog. I really appreciate that, I am a huge fan of your work.
