CHA Summer 2011 Wrap-Up

We hope everyone enjoyed our CHA Sneak Peeks!

Now that the show is over we would love to share a few pics of our Prima booth, the Ruby Violet booth, and a few fabulous shots of the CHA host city-Chicago.

 

Chicago is a gorgeous city of skyscrapers...

lots of water activities...

and loads of entertainment, shopping, and fabulous food! It's the perfect host city for CHA.

We loved showcasing our brand new lines at the summer show!

 

Especially our new Ruby Violet Collection:

Fun, colorful & whimsical...

The new Ruby Violet products are perfect for all age groups!

Just look at the amazing samples on display:

From bits and baubles to DIY necklace sets...

the RV line will add color and dimension to your projects.

We even included eight gorgeous papers for scrapbookers and cardmakers!

Now we are off to the Prima booth!

The Prima booth was filled with six gorgeous new paper lines...

fabulous new flowers...

Clear and Cling-Mount Stamps...

Resin and Metal Treasures, Comfort-Craft Tools, and Inks,

instructional make-n-takes...

Did we mention LOADS of beautiful samples? Like this one showing off the Printery line.
