CHA Wishlist...Part 1

Happy Sunday!
I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous day, 
even though it is rainy and mild here in our little
part of this wonderful world!

As many of crafty friends new, 
CHA (Craft & Hobby Association)
is happening this weekend
 in Anaheim, California, 
where various artsy fartsy companies/people
meet to look and showcase their products/works.
(I will be there one day!lol)
These past couple of weeks have
seen some new releases from 
many crafty companies.
I have oohed and aaahed, 
and drooled, and sadly, shook
my head at some of the releases.. lol
Even though Christmas has just ended, 
this show is kinda an exception. Am I right??

So, I though I would share with you all
some of my absolute favorites from the past
couple of weeks:
First up, Bella Blvd.
I will be honest, I was never really a fan of this company.
Then, a new collection was released last year, 
Illustrated Faith.
And I was hooked!!!
Bella Blvd. came out with a brand new
collection, She Blooms.

1185_PAPER_PIECES
Beautiful colors!
And Bella Blvd has also extended products to 
the ever-growing popular

1247_PRAISE_HIM
1252_WORD_ART

All the basics for bible journaling:
alphabet stickers, numbers, cute icons,
die cut shapes, bible verse prompts, 
enamel hearts, washi tape!!!, 
cute clips, and more....swoon!
Yeppers, must haves for me!

Another product that has caught my eye
is from the master, Tim Holtz.
From the Idealogy, to alterations, Stampers Anonymous, 
whoa!
The first thing that caught my eye, 
was the absolute amazing stamp set from
Stampers Anonymous.
First there were Crazy Birds (love!!), 
and there will be Crazy Cats!!
EEEEKK!!
So excited!
CMS251
Designed by designer extradoinaire, Kristine Werner, 
who I think was the perfect choice to design this set.
Must have for me!!
Another must have:
THIS!

Distress-Crayons
Just like the Distress marker, but in crayon form!
Ummm....YES!!!
And this. New Thinlets from Sizzix:
sizzix13
When I saw this, I 
automatically thought that these would be
perfect for Project Life!!

Onwards!
Pinkfresh has come out with more goodies.
Awesome stamp sets, which
I have drooled over.
One appealed to me tremendously, as
it seems it was made for me! 
4 x 6 stamp set
Bibliophile by Kaitlin Sheaffer for Pinkfresh Studio
Again, another perfect set for Project Life!

And then there is Prima.
I really love their products.
Especially Julie Nutting!!
And she has come out with more dolls!
I have quite a few, and between myself and my daughter, 
they get played with...quite a bit! lol.

she will be too excited, and wanting them right away!lol)

Prima has also come out with more watercolor
products!!!

(In case you did not know, I am a watercolor fanatic!!)

So, I will leave it here for now!

Thank you!

Happy Saturday!
I hope you are all doing great!
Well, everything is getting back to 'normal', 
it seems, with the holidays now behind us.
Kinda happy, kinda sad.
Oh well, right?

A new challenge is starting over on 
This week, it is, (brace yourselves!)
HIMCR #233 - Super Scraps Saturday!
Yay!

There is a new sponsor this week, too!

The giveaway is 3 images from Robyn's Fetish, 
winner's choice!!
There are some really cute images there!!

The Design Team were given a choice of 3 images to play with.
I chose the apple one, 
and this is what I created:

I used my Tim Holtz Distress Ink markers to color, 
and the papers are from Simple Stories Harvest lane
(an older collection!)
The heart is a word veneer, from stash, colored with
a Pitt artist marker.
The stamped sentiment is from Kelly Purkey Hey dude
stamp set, exclusive to Simon Says Stamp.
A very simple card, but I really like it!

Be sure to check out the other members
of the Design Team to see their creations.
You have until Friday to link up your creations!
Hope you can play!

Until next time, 
Be Safe. Get crafty!
