Today, I have a new layout and card up at the Hero Arts blog...you can see it here if you wanna. I had fun playing with the transparency cards this week - love those things. On the layout, I stamped on a transparency card and embellished on top and under it - then added it to a chocolate notecard that opens up to reveal my journaling. I love Leslie's goodies on today's post too - so check it out! :) :)
CHA, Craft & Hobby Show, in Chicago starts today and I love this time of year! I LOVE the trade shows and seeing all the new product releases from all the fabulous companies out there! There is still a lot to be revealed but here are some things that I'm totally lovin' so far:
New Karen Russell Narratives Line: I always love what she creates - the problem - is that I hoard it like crazy. I need to use it!! LOL! Anyway - wonderful new release from her! Love it!
New Sassafrass Lass: Some of these papers and funky and fun and a bit out of my normal style - but the colors and patterns are amazing! I seriously am excited to create with this stuff! It is making me HAPPY!
New Collage Press: Huge fan! Check out their new Summer catalog - looks like lots more fun stuff. I love those ledger sheets and tags - my fav!!
New Jenni Bowlin: Love the new Victoria line, Crepe paper ribbon looks awesome, and the smaller bingo cards are awesome! Already have plans for those ones!
New Cricut/Provo Craft: Seriously, don't even know what to say! Material to cut & create your own stamps, to cut & create your own embossing folders, magnet sheets, stencil sheets...I'm in love! I'm all about my die-cutting right now and to have more possibilities makes me so so so very happy! LOVE IT!!! And I need it - like yesterday! :) :)
New Basic Grey: Really impressed with the new releases this show! Lots of patterns and colors that are way cool!!!
Anxious to see the new Autumn Leaves release this show, Making Memories (which is always fabulous and a huge favorite), KI Memories and more and more and more. Did I mention that I love this time of year? LOL!
I'll be back to share more as more is posted online. So fun!
Collage Press continues to impress me. :) The new Cricut accessorires kits are so COOL!! I want the stamp and stencil one. I've already used my Cricut to cut fabric (remember when I e-mailed you about that).

Robyn, I was just at the HA site and I really love, love, love your LO!! You are so creative and using the acetate cards with the embellies on and under was a terrific idea. I have the acetate cards and the tags too and your opened up the door to some great ways to use them. Thanks for sharing!

Always love your Hero Arts goodies - so fun! You really mix color like no other! I am loving the new format of how you show your layouts on this blog and I have to tell you, you inspired me to scrap 4 layouts the other day so THANK YOU!!! I am thinking I will have to invest some money into more clear buttons! LOL
Thanks for the CHA sneak peeks! I am dying to see AL and Making Memories as well!
