CHA Summer 2010: WOW! Some GREAT things coming our way

Hi there everyone, hope your summer is going well.  I have to say that our summer has been one of the mildest in about 40 years, and I am LOVING every minute!  Nice days in the 80's, cooler evenings, almost perfect, and we have not had to deal with any real heat waves yet.


Before we get into all of the CHA links, I wanted to make sure that you go over to the Follow your Heart blog to sign up for some great blog candy!  And we are having a very special blog hop this Friday, an "old friend" has come back to visit, and you are going to love what you see!  And no, I can't give any more details then that, you are just going to have to check in here on Friday to see what I am talking about.

Oh, and I did register for the upcoming Copic certification in September.  If anyone is going (it is in Oakland), please let me know!  And once I am certified I am going to see about teaching some Copic coloring classes in my area, stay tuned.

And now, onto some fantastic CHA Summer 2010 links!  One of these days I am going to attend CHA, until then I have to attend CHA virtually (online) and there are an amazing amount of links to upcoming products and more.  Are you ready?  Here we go!

CHA Summer Trends Preview:  Great place to start and read about where the manufacturers are headed this year, and of course, to no surprise, everyone is keen on cost.  This is a great article to read if you are interested in some of the trends going on in the paper crafting world.

Spellbinders:  Wow!  Lots and lots of posts on their new releases....some of which I absolutely LOVE.  I also understand that there are a few more releases that will be revealed later this week (make sure to keep visiting their blog).

A Million Memories:  Amazing list of links revealing all sorts of goodies at CHA.  I spent over 30 minutes clicking around and still didn't get to all of the products.

17 Turtles:  Wait until you see this paper, it is absolutely ADORABLE!

Scrapscene:  Click on links to other company blogs for more CHA previews here.

Shimmerz Summer Collection:  A sneak peak at some new delicious colors!

Papercrafters Corner:  All sorts of paper and other great products featured here.

Scrapbook.com:  Lots and lots of new products being revealed here.

Two Peas in a Bucket:  Some really cute previews here as well.

Prima:  Fairy Flora collection, wonderful new collection of paper and other goodies.

Slice:  Lots of new design cards previewed here, I absolutely LOVED the Paper Reverie card!

Facebook:  If you are on facebook make sure to see which companies have facebook pages.  I have "liked" a whole group of companies and many of them are doing daily updates on CHA.

I will keep on tracking CHA this week for my post next Tuesday.  Hope the links I gave you today are enough to keep you busy for a bit : )

Don't forget to stop by Friday for another fun blog hop, and also get over to the Follow your Heart blog for some blog candy!

Take care everyone, thank you so very much for stopping by.
