CHA 2010 Anaheim


Well, here it is the end of January almost and I think I have already slipped on my resolutions - posting more often. Well, I do have a bit of an excuse. Preparation for CHA - one of the most if not the most exciting, creative fun trade shows on earth. I am back and can say that yes I am a CHA 2010 survivor. What a creative feast!!

Over the next few posts I will endeavour to relay some of the wonderful things and moments that I shared at CHA 2010.
I had not experienced the Super Show as I was not in attendance at Summer Show so this year I decided to fly in to see what it was all about. There were some wonderful products and demonstrations at the Super Show. Friday seemed a little quiet but then on Saturday, wow, there was a line up through the lobby and out the front doors of the Convention Center. It was good to see. I watched a demo by Cheryl from Ten Second Studios on metal embossing - wonderful work and a great person. Of course I had to make a few purchases here.

I also had the opportunity to meet Michael Strong http://www.strongstamps.com/ and see his demo and his great line of stamps - excellent quality and designs. Of course, there were some purchases here as well. His images are versatile, deeply etched red rubber and the designs are truly inspirational. His pre-embossed paper is a beautiful quality.

That was just a tidbit from the SuperShow - we haven't even got to the Trade Show yet. Keep watching.
Creatively Yours,
Sharon
