CHA Day 1

......and the sun was shining when I finally emerged from LAX arrivals after a 1 hour 30 mins queue to get through immigration and customs !!! The hotel, which is a stones throw away from the convention centre is fab .....I could hold a function for 250 people in my room - it's HUGE !! Party at mine tonight lol !


So, I have been feasting my eyes on some amazing new products today, and have already broken the bank !


My first stop was Stampers Anonymous ( had to get my order in quickly, to be up in the first batch of shipping ) I was so busy drooling over all the fab stamps and samples I never got any photo's !!! so will have to return tomorrow for them lol.


Next stop - my fave Scrapbooking people - October Afternoon and three fab new ranges " 5 & Dime" "Rocket Age" and "Boarding Pass" - some new goodies in these ranges including some fab coordinating spray inks - how cool is that ?!!
5 & Dime .....





Rocket Age.......





Boarding Pass will be released slightly later......


So thanks to the kind folks at October Afternoon our first two CHA Blog Candys will be a set of papers from either of the new ranges due shortly, leave a comment and we will pick two lucky winners who will win either "5 & Dime" or "Rocket Age" and will be first in the UK to get them...even before we have our delivery !!!

Well it's only 10pm, but feels like 2am to me ( well, I have been awake since 4am this morning !)

Back tomorrow :)

    Fantastic Retro designs Lyn.

    I shall be following your blog each day for the latest.
    I wish they would bring out a white, a cream and a manilla spray- ones that stay solid colour and not go all transparent.Keep your eye out please just incase.
    Well its freeeeezing here, 7 in the morning, I'm not quite living the dream you are but its great reading about it...have a fabulous time in that ballroom sized bedroom. At least there will be plently of room for your morning star jumps lol
