I had every intention of posting some new card designs this week but haven’t had a chance to photograph them yet as I’ve been prepping for CHA. They will be coming soon. 
For those of you that are not familiar with CHA, it is short for Craft & Hobby Association. The winter trade show is the main event of the year & is currently held out in Anaheim,California. Imagine walking into a convention center & seeing product booths from every manufacturer in the arts & crafts industry…around 3,000 of them! It can be overwhelming at first, but is always a blast, and it’s great to run into familiar faces of designers I’ve met through the years. There’s always a chance to make new friends in some of the fantastic classes they offer as well (can I tell you how excited I am about taking Kelly Rae Roberts creative collage class?!?!!!).
CHA is also a great chance to get a pulse on the year’s upcoming trends, see new product releases, etc. I’ll be taking a point & shoot camera with me, so I’ll try to take a few shots of my fav items to share with you. Check back for the full report next week.
Hugs,
EstroJean

Hi Laura! This is a beautiful website! Just stopped by to say “Hi” and “Thank you” for the chats during the breaks at the Copic training class. It was really nice to meet you and certainly fun to run into you during CHA the next day. Always nice to see a familiar and friendly face in such a huge arena! Looking forward to posts from you about your visit during CHA. I’ll post my stuff tomorrow. Let’s keep in touch!
