This week’s creative kick-start comes to you directly from the winter 2010 Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) tradeshow. In fact, every blog post this week will have a CHA flava. To start the party, we’ve got a look at some of this show’s new and fabulous exhibitors. Ready to embark on this new exhibitor tour? Sweet! Let’s go!
We were all smiles in this booth, where hip designs lined the walls. A favorite thing on our list from this stop is the FabRips, an easy-to-use sheet of paper-fabric strips. So fun!

These flowers, made from Studio Calico’s new FabRips, are easy to make and would up the excitement of any scrapbook page.
Stamping just got cuter, thanks to My Cute Stamps. The happy images are sure to add a dose of whimsy to your creative projects.

Sweet cards line the wall of the My Cute Stamps booth.
Making your own acrylic accents is a snap thanks to the hot, new tool from Epiphany Crafts. Plus, their booth is loaded with fresh ideas that really stand out from the crowd.

Megan, your class in Manchester last year was my favorite class so can you grab some of those new stamps from My Cute Stamps, then swing by Maya Road for some albums, then come to Manchester this May to teach another fun class? You could call it CHA Sampler.
I would love to attend CHA…but I’m overwhelmed when I walk into a LSC, how in the world would I function at CHA?!?! Talk about sensory overload!
I’m interested in seeing those fabric strips up close and personal. Genius idea!
I love My cute stamps. The name is perfect. They are so adorable. I have recently really gotten into stamps. Thank you for sharing the latest ideas and supplies with us.
