I would love to have had more time to enjoy the sunshine and blue skies of Southern California, but there wasn't time for that... there were lots of new products to see and people to catch up with!
Michelle and I started out together at the Melissa Frances booth. I loved so many things... here are some photos:
I loved Heidi Swapp's new collections... so many possibilities:
Pink Paislee had some of my favorite releases... She Art and London Market...
I must have those stamps! Barry and Rebecca sponsored my classes in South Africa this past September and I'm so grateful to them. It was wonderful to see Glenda and Lynn from SA at the show and have time to catch up!
Next up is Cosmo Cricket... I really liked their collections... especially the Tiny Text stickers:
Tim Holtz has some really cool new pieces in his Ideology collection (love the faucet handles!) and I love the possibilities of the new Ranger Distress markers! The samples in his booth are just amazing!
Laura Dennison made the first samples and Paula Cheney made the dress for the Ranger Designer Challenge. Isn't it the sweetest thing you've seen? The skirt print is made using Stickles! Paula even outdid herself on this!!
It was so nice to catch up with Tim and Mario and see Nicole!
Jenni Bowlin had lots to love in her booth! I really liked the stencil paper and the Wren Collection and the new stickers.
Amy Tan's new collection for American Crafts is colorful and fun! I loved using her last collection for one of my classes for Lyon, France, coming up soon and would love to use her new things for a class too.
I'll be back with more pictures... October Afternoon and 7gypsies and more! What have you seen so far that you'd like me to use in a class?

Thanks, Debby, loved the peeks! I'm drooling!

You mean we have to choose? Grin. Lots of really great stuff. Of course, I really like Tim's stuff.

Love it all! So glad you shared. I hope there was a Melissa France Vintage Doggies album next to the kitties.
