No matter how many photos I take of the displays on the show floor, it's impossible to convey the magnitude of the creativity seen at every turn. To say that it's overwhelming is a gross understatement. Styles are as varied as the designers who create for the manufacturers - from cute and whimsical to shabby chic and vintage, artsy and traditional all represented in paper crafts, yarn, fabric, jewelry, wood and more. You can check out even more photos from the show on Pinterest.
If you could pick one product from the Top 20 most Innovative Products for Winter 2012, what would it be? Comment here and you might just be the lucky winner of a box of samples I brought back from the show! See the list of products on an earlier post this week. Y'all come back now......
Yours truly,

The Shoe Attitude definitely looks innovative, but my vote would go to the stamping gear from EK Success. That thing looks really cool. I'd love to try it in person.
ReplyDeleteOh! Don't make me pick one! I love the idea of the Flower Me with Candy- with a 4yr old son, this would make for perfect teacher gifts for a long time to come. Of course, the Cool2Cast sounds great for papercrafting and I'd love to try Tulip Screen It.
ReplyDeleteWow Prima press this would be cool to do your own letter.I would love something like this. it would save time and money and you can use your own Papers. thanks for sharing and for the chance to win something cool from you.

Thanks for sharing the photos. It makes me want to be able to attend even more. I think The Cutting Edge Clear Rulers by Sullivans USA that sharpen rotary cutter blades with every cut sound wonderful. Anything to make blades last longer. Thank you for the chance to win.

anything and everything Prima / Tim Holtz
ReplyDeleteanything from Prima! I already have Tiffany's cool2cast and is great to work with
ReplyDeleteI like the prima press but have a feeling it would just be another tool that really wouldn't get a lot of use. The Sullivan clear rulers however sound like a really good idea.
ReplyDeleteWow super photos for me it would have to be the spellbinders new dies! Thanks for the chance to win! and oh yeah I love Echo Park and MME
ReplyDeleteI'm too overwhelmed by everything to be able to pick just one.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can choose only one - the Fringe in a Flash and the USB Power Glue look like things I could use!!! I also like the Sullivans Clear Rulers!! Thanks!!!

I would love to try the Cool2Cast clay, I'm always looking for new ideas for my gourd art.
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures are awesome....I wish I was there. I love to try the distress markers by ranger.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the change to win!
I also vote for the stamping gear from EK Success. Cool! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteTH all the way...he keeps innovating! Great photos and thanks for the chance to win!

Thanks for all the pictures! I think my favorite to try is Copper Color Me from Hot off the Press. I think that I could do a lot with that. It would be awesome to win some, or any of the goodies from CHA 2012!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Polly
So many nifty notions, how will I ever choose? The EK Stamps would be a lot of fun!

Dear Julie, I have loved looking at all your photos! I especially love the shabby chic looking shadow box pictures. Would love to see a close up of those! If I had to pick one product I am sure it would be the embosser from Craftwell...I am a sucker for new die cutting/embosing machines, but I must say that the Send it Clear kit looks quite interesting, since I love making cards! I would have loved to visit the Flower Soft booth too, as one of my favorite products is flower soft! Glad you had fun.

Julie, thanks for sharing your photos from CHA! Although I'm usually drawn to Prima products, the EK Stamps really caught my eye this time!
ReplyDeleteMarianne
Although I do like the Prima product, I think the clear card kit looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteI think the EK Success Scrapbook tool is the most innovative thing I saw featured at this CHA. Of course, I love that Tim Holtz expanded the Distress link to include markers. There is a lot of great new stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love the distress markers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all the fabulous photos from CHA.There are few things that don't interest me. My biggest challenge is crafting enough hours in my day for crafting. I always find Tim Holtz projects inspiring. :)
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the Knook- one of the top innovative products is in the giveaway box. That product also intregues me since I use a double ended crochet hook to make double-sided afgans.
