The summer CHA show was last month was in Chicago. So close, yet so far away. I spent most of the time glued to twitter to keep up to date on all of the new goodies being debuted at the show. Not being there and getting all my information second hand makes it slightly difficult to put a list of favorites together, but I'm going to try anyhow! In no particular order, here are all of the yummy goodies that I just can't wait to get my hands on:
1. Amy Tangerine for American Crafts
First up is the new Amy Tangerine line. The fabulous Amy Tan has paired with American Crafts to bring us a fun, bright line of double-sided patterned papers, fabric 12x12 cardstock sheets, new Thickers, a cool mini-album, some mixed tape, and a ton of coordinating embellishments. I want the whole line, but I especially love the 12 x 12 fabric paper, Falling for You. The precious hearts remind me of a top I used to wear in elementary school.
I also really, really want to get my hands on these amazing mixed tapes!
And finally, this super simple mini album...
2. Studio Calico
Next on my list is my current scrapbook crush, Studio Calico. This monthly kit club turned manufacturer has three new releases: Classic Calico, Autumn Press, and Memoir. I plan on trying to exercise restraint. Especially after I ended up with both of their previous lines, Countryside and State Fair. Anyhow, here's the full catalogue:
I'm mostly coveting the new Mister Huey colors. All of them.
The houndstooth and grid background stamps, as well as the I love books stamp set. These are actually the first retail stamps to be offered as part of the new collaboration with Hero Arts!
This pretty amazing ampersand mask!
And finally, these nifty asterisk wood veneers!
I'm going to be really, really selective about the paper so that I don't buy three of every sheet!
3. Lily bee Design
Lily bee Design has just recently shown up on my radar and boy do I love them! From what I can tell, they introduced four new lines:
That's the round up of what I'm most excited about coming out of the Summer CHA show. Since you made it to the end, you've earned a chance at a giveaway! In a hazy midnight ordering frenzy, I ended up with two More Patterned Paper add-ons from the August Studio Calico kit Boardwalk. Therefore, I'm giving one of the paper packs away. This includes the patterned papers from Crate Paper designed exclusively for Studio Calico! I haven't opened the paper and I'll send it to you in it's original brown bag sealed with a trademark SC sticker round. Here's what the papers look like:
Leave a comment here letting me know what you're most looking forward to getting your hands on from the Summer CHA show and I will randomly select a winner. You have until 10:00 p.m. EST on this Friday, the 12th.
I hadn't seen the new Lily Bee yet, looks lovely. I am most excited for the SC goodies, the mists & the masks and the scrap pads look really cool. Thanks so much for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI popped over from the SC Blog. There is so much goodness coming at us the CHA. The Amy Tangerine alphas are super cute, as are the papers, well pretty much all of it looks yummy :) I think I'm most excited for SC Memoir and Crate Random collections though. Thanks for the chance to win. Happy to help out with your class :)
I Love the Lily bee Design Head Over Heels paper and the coordinated alphabet sheets are awesome! I hope you keep this blog going after your class is completed!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Its a toss up between Amy T and SC stamps memoir line. But Lily Bee is awesome too!
ReplyDeleteThe item I found most exciting is the mini-album from Amy Tan!
ReplyDeleteLove all the eye candy! I'm definitely looking forward to trying out some Amy Tangerine stuff and SC stuff of course.
ReplyDeleteI think my absolute fave of CHA is SC's Memoir :) ... but some of the nice surprises of the show would have to be Lily Bee and KI Memories! -ShellyJ
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win some SC! I can't wait to get my hands on Amy's new line, and the new SC, and the new OA...you name it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance. I am really looking forward for Lily bee design's memorandum papers and SC ampersand mask.
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous!! I love the heart paper and the harvest moon paper. I think the houndstooth is wonderful, but I'm not that into stamps. I like cutting paper so much more. Still, houndstooth rocks!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your picks! I am most excited about Amy Tangerine. I have to admit that I was able to get a few things already at Ben Franklin when I was visiting Seattle =) It's SUPER cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the new picks and can't wait to see what you can make with all those prints together! The heart paper surprises me- wouldn't have picked that one for you. BUT, I know you will make something fabulous and overly fancy with it.
ReplyDeleteWell Wendy, it seems we are all on the same page. The Amy Tangerine is my first pick. I'm also pretty stoked about the SC and Lily Bee stuff that is coming out. I'd say those three companies will be doing well this year! Thanks so much for doing the giveaway!
