Craft & Hobby Association Faves

Happy day, sweet blog readers!

As most of you know, this week is the CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) show in Chicago and along with CHA comes a BUNCH of new scrapbooking product peeks about new products that will be hitting the stores soon. I am a BIG sucker for new scrapbooking goodies. Honestly though, the last couple of years I have been so overwhelmed by how much product comes out that I have been really picky and choosey with what I buy because I know I have a problem about hoarding and not using. :) I just like cute products and well – I haven’t been doing enough scrapbooking to justify the purchase of lots of new goodies, BUT another cool thing about Project Life is that I can purchase little goodies here and there and use them throughout the year  and it isn’t so overwhelming, ya know? It’s broken down so much easier now and I don’t have to use so much product to fill up an 8.5×11 piece of cardstock, not that I ever used THAT much product anyway. ;) I’m a very clean and simple scrapper, but even I was “oooohing,” “ahhhhing” and “drooling” over some of the new goodies that I saw coming out. I bookmarked some of my favorites to share them here with you today.

First of all, if you want to see all of the sneak peeks from lots of companies, the main website I go to every year at this time is The Scrap Review. LOVE having all of the new products in one place. They do a great job!

Ok, here we go!

I always love everything that Amy Tan comes out with and this new collection of hers is no exception.

Love all of the embellishments and the stamps! PERFECT to use in Project Life. So colorful and fun! Check out more HERE.

Another line from American Crafts that I am loving is the new line from Elizabeth Kartchner’s called, 5th & Frolic.

 

More pretty embellishments, stamps and washi tape! Eeek! You can see the entire line HERE. Lots more beautiful products.

Studico Calico’s Yearbook Collection is super cute, too. :) Love these colors and patterns, along with these goodies:

You can see LOTS more goodies HERE at the Studio Calico blog. They are releasing quite a bit of cool stuff.

Crate Paper is another company releasing a line that I’m loving. They have more than one coming out and all of them are really beautiful, especially their Christmas line. I’m drawn to their Acorn Avenue line though.

See more HERE.

The next lines that I am loving are ALL of the lines that Jen Allyson is releasing for My Mind’s Eye. Beautiful doesn’t even begin to describe these. Wow. She has a line called “The Sweetest Thing” and it has several color schemes and here are just a few samples that I love:

LOTS more in this collection to see – check out it all in every color scheme HERE.

Pebbles has lots of cute goodies, too. Love this, from the Walnut Grove collection. Perfect for Project Life, once again.

And this Seen & Noted line is one of my MOST favorites that I’ve seen!! This entire line is a must get, I think. LOVE the colors. Sigh.

More Pebbles, Inc. goodness HERE.

And this new SN@P line from Simple Stories looks pretty darn cute! So colorful and fun!

See more HERE.

Oh and Lawn Fawn is releasing some scrapbooking collections this year! LOVE this dewey decimal collection! Can we say CUTE?!

See more, plus some cute stamp sets, HERE!

Ok, that about wraps it up! There is SO much cute goodness out there. I can’t wait to buy a few things to add to my Project Life in bits and pieces. SO much more manageable and I’m likely NOT to hoard SO much. What have you seen that you just love? Leave me a comment and let me know! I’d love to hear what you are loving and can’t wait to get your hands on.

Have a great day today! Sending hugs! I’ll be back with more soon! :)
