Today I started at 8am at the Spellbinders Media Breakfast! As mentioned yesterday, Spellbinders have their new Grand Calibur machine with the Grand Nestabilities!! I can’t wait to give them a try!!
I then took advantage of being on the show floor early and lined up to see Tim Holtz at the Sizzix booth! He was signing some new Alterations Folders and showing off his new die cutting machine, the Vagabond! It’s motor is over twice the size of the Big Shot Express!! And yes, I got Tim to sign an Alteration Folder for Janet, the winner of the contest, as well!!!
Then I was off to check out more booths!! I loved everything at Bella Blvd!! There are fabulous products, amazing layouts and projects, plus cute little chocolates!!
I went to Prima and their entire booth is Gorgeous!!! I don’t know how stores can pick and choose what to buy there! I love this Scrapbook Jewelry line they have introduced!!
Doodlebug always has the cutest booth and the sweetest products! I am loving these buttons!! I want them in all of the colours!!
Then, just to mix things up a little, I was a Speaker on a panel with Nancy Nally from ScrapbookUpdate.com and Megan Hoeppner the Creative Editor from Creating Keepsakes Magazine, talking about PR for Manufacturers! So that was a fun experience!
I finally made it to American Crafts where Dear Lizzy has a new collection as well as a Christmas Collection! It is all fabulous once again! Her display is very inspiring as well!
C-Thru (makers of Little Yellow Bicycle) have released a new line called Art-C! There are glitters, beads, fibres, mists, papers, ATC cards, texture tools and ATC kits, all in a variety of colours! They look like they would be a lot of fun to play around with!
I stopped by Ranger and saw Jenni Bowlin’s new line of Paint Dabbers and inks that co-ordinate with her paper collection!!
We R Memory Keepers had a lot of fun, new collections, but I loved these new colourful bindings for the Cinch!
And for all of you Cricut Expression owners, Creative Options has released a bag that will hold the machine!!
I am loving the jewelry trend we continue to see! More fabulous findings from Vintage Groove by Making Memories!
One of my favorite collections would be Restoration by Crate Paper!! I love this line!!
I stopped by Maya Road and saw all of their new goodies! From Sprays, to Glitter to Chipboard album to beautiful ribbon – they have it all!!
Another favorite collection is Up, Up and Away by KaiserCraft! The Hot Air Balloon continues to be a trend in the industry!
I some how missed it yesterday, but there is a newly designed Cuttlebug. My understanding is that other than design, it hasn’t really changed. Still works the same way and is the same size.
Finally I ended my day at the Westcott Party! There was a Silent Auction, but unfortunately I was outbid!
