CHA Day Three

I want to share some pictures of a few things that I saw while checking out the other exhibits at the CHA trade show.  As I said yesterday, there is an overwhelming amount of color and pattern and interesting things to look at.  So this will just be a taste of things that caught my eye today...

The photo at the top is of a few more Imagine projects - I am so excited to try out some of the great possibilities.  There are so many ways to expand the use of the machine beyond cards and pages.

Some of the booths are quite elaborate - Doodlebug Designs had this cute little "house."

Retro themes are very popular - this is the outside of October Afternoon's booth.

Here is a closer view of one of the layouts from October Afternoon.

On the top of the Little Yellow Bicycle booth was (wait for it....) a little yellow bicycle.

Graphic 45 had some amazing displays for Halloween...

and Christmas.

This pink decoration was really eye catching  - many of the companies made fairly elaborate hanging displays to help you spot their booths from far away.

There are new Nestabilities dies that are enormous - and a new machine to go with them that will cut 8 1/2 x 11 paper.

Here are a few Christmas cards made with Nestabilities - there was lots of inspiration for Christmas all through the show.

This Halloween layout uses some of the Shapeabilities.

Some of the Halloween dies look fantastic cut in metal.

I looked for Tim Holtz but missed seeing him in his booth - here are a few fantastic tags and of course they are displayed on a birdcage!

Suede, from Project Runway, made some incredible dresses from paper that were on display in the e-craft booth.

Core'dinations has some really interesting embossed papers.

There were all sorts of beautiful samples in the Prima booth.

There were lots of lovely layouts on display (you can click the photo to see it larger).

Isn't this dress adorable?

Here are more Prima layouts.

One more fun thing that I did was to watch a demo for making a tote bag with the Yudu.  You apply glue through the screen and then add fine glitter in any color you like.  After the glue and glitter dries you need to heat set the design.

You can't see it very well but I am holding the tote bag here.  This is Jinger Adams who I am sure you have seen on HSN and in many Provo Craft videos.  She is so sweet and friendly and does a great job in the demonstrations from the stage in the booth.

I hope you enjoyed this mini tour - it is really just the tip of the iceberg.  The Super Show starts tomorrow and I will be attending the Cricut Circle meetup tomorrow morning.  I am looking forward to meeting some more Cricut friends and checking out the show.
