CHA is always a big bright colorful show.
And they're waiting anxiously to get in!
Excitedly, one of the first booths I came upon was Melissa Frances featuring the adorable (and fellow New Jerseyite) Jenny Holiday
In addition to their new book, Jenny and Aaron now have fantastic papers featuring their designs. These designs are all from their HAND PAINTED work.
and the most adorable new frames
AND
rubber stamps

NOW
You haven't really experienced a rhinestone till you've been to see The Crystal Ninja herself Kellie DeFries (m)
I have never seen so many exquisite items all crystalized
There is nothing that Kellie won't put a rhinestone on !!

I LOVE running into Jess from Vintaj...she and her family are some of my super most favorite people...and she was doing a demo at Sizzix with the Ranger foil, Vintaj embossing folders and their great Vintaj metal jewelry bezels and Vintaj Patinas
and very soon they'll have the new dies (below) that cut the foil (or pictures, or collage sheets) to fit the exact size of the inside of their bezels.
then, doing their make & take,
we embossed the foil, colored it with the Vintaj patinas and finished off a wonderful necklace
Here are some of their marvelous booth samples
Tomorrow I'll tell you all about the most beautiful booth at the whole show...SPELLBINDERS
you'll almost wish you'd lived in it...!
but tonight, being somewhat exhusted from walking all day..I'll just share some random shots I took through the day...
like Wendy Vecchi demoing !
Zentangles
Julie Fei Fen Balzer demoing !
and two of my very favorite people
Joe and Julez
so, we'll just conclude today with the happy singing Mod Podge Jar
and hope you'll come back for more tomorrow !!
