CHA items I {heart} Part II

Okay so I have seen way too many product lines to love that came out of CHA Summer 2011..and anyone who has been in my scrap studio would know, I'm a teeny bit obsessed with collecting favorite lines {oops!} ..can you blame me though, I mean, really?

I have been patiently waiting for October Afternoon to reveal the full lines of their 3 new product lines..but alas, I'm still waiting :( So...with that being said, I will just post up the sneaks that they put on their blog and when the full lines are revealed, I'll blog them as well ;)

First up: Farmhouse!

YES! There are 2 companies coming out with a "Farmhouse" line..and I love BOTH of them! The images, the designs, the colors..it makes my heart happy just looking at this!! I cannot WAIT to have these papers in my crafty little hands!!

Next up: Sidewalks

In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, "Hello, lover"..thats all I can muster for this line..its beautiful, its vintage, its colorful...and soon it will be mine, all mine ;)

Next up: Sasparilla

Alright, so my farmer does not own a horse (but are free to ride some whenever we choose), but I don't care..I love this line! And since it is currently stampede week here in my City and we have gone all out decorating the place..the line will be the perfect addition to my Stampede layouts!!

Time to let you in on a little secret wish of mine: I want to someday be on the October Afternoon design team!! I love this company, their products are amazing and I am pretty sure I own every single item that they have ever created..they are simply amazing and it is on my list of hopes/dreams that someday I can join them in their amazing journey!!

And speaking of amazing journey...this photo came out on PC's group page...

I had made it my goal to be in PC's Holiday Cards and More special issue, and this year I did it! 5 of my designs will be showcased in this beauty..and I cannot wait til Sept 27th when it comes out!!

Thats all for me today folks...as always, Happy Crafting!!

CHA - Items I {heart}

Alrighty so the sneak peaks have been coming out for this years' Fall/Winter 2011 CHA show and I...am...in...LOVE! I just called Adam and told him I'm really nervous...and, of course, he couldn't possibly understand why. so I informed him I'm nervous because I feel an empty bank account coming on in future months ;) hehehe

Today I'm showcasing my favorite lines from craft company: Crate Paper!!

Now, this was surprising to me considering I've never been a huge fan of this company. Not sure why exactly..just never seemed to be persuaded to pick up their lines before...but this year...well, they stole me heart with their Peppermint and Farmhouse lines!!

First up: Farmhouse!

I love the warmth of this line! Perfect for Autumn photos, Family gatherings and pictures of us in our new home! Now yes, maybe the fact that in just 6 weeks I will be moving the farm and am only 3.5 months away from becoming a farmer's wife might be a reason why I was pulled to this line as well..but thats allowed..no?

Next up: Peppermint!

Now, I may not be a fan of all of the colors and designs in this collection but the paper above and all the embellishments are what truly hooked me on this line..I know I already have a tub full of Christmas goodies..but that never meant I couldn't buy more...right?!

Alright..so there are my top picks for Crate Paper's new CHA releases!! Can't wait to dig up some more key finds for you soon!!

Take care everyone..and happy crafting!
