CHA - Day 2

Viva Las Vegas!!

Day 2 of CHAS 2013 is now in the books! We couldn't be more thrilled with the responses to our new collections and SN@P! Sets. We were so incredibly busy again yesterday, it was crazy!

Today is the last day of the show and we expect things to slow down quite a bit as many of the stores headed home yesterday or early this morning.

So here I am, in the quiet last few minutes before the show floor opens when you can hear the distant hum of vacuum cleaners in the background and deep sighs as manufacturers are gearing up for Day 3.

When I say 'here I am', blogging live from the show, I really am, see -

If you missed yesterday's post, make sure to check it out for your chance to win one of these FUN Intsax cameras!

Lots more picture taking with excited shoppers yesterday -

We've heard from quite a few of you that you want to see some close ups of product and the amazing projects our design team created for the show, so I've got a few pictures to show you now. We'll also be showcasing projects over the next few weeks on the blog, starting next week, so be sure to check back in as well :)

Say Cheese has definitely been a top seller for us this show. Ladies, hear me now - when you see this, buy it. DO NOT WAIT! Trust me, you'll regret it if you don't :)

Many of you may remember an I Heart Summer mini book that Julie Johnson created for us a bit ago. Check out this AMAZING book she created with Say Cheese! We'll be sure to showcase this project in more detail later this month, you'll love it!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - one of the things I love the most about Say Cheese is the versatility in the line for creating layouts, projects and cards for something other than photos with 'The Big Cheese". Check out how design team member Rebecca Koeppel used it in this layout!

Retailers are loving Smarty Pants because it's a school line that works super well for young elementary age kids, but also works great for highschool and even college kids as well. It's tough to find a school themed collection that's so versatile, and Smarty Pants is it!

Check out this amazing layout created by design team member Tanya Dirk! Don't you just love those chevrons she made?!

And how about this fun SN@P! Binder Sue Kendall created with Smarty Pants - I'd say she certainly deserves a gold star for her creativity, eh?

That does it for today - retailers await! Check back with me again tomorrow where I'll share some close ups and projects with December Documented and our SN@P! Sets!

Love the new collections, but I want the reusable bag! Where I lived the city has banned plastic and charge for paper so am always looking for colorful reusables!!

Thank you for sharing close-ups (and more to come) from the design team! Love what they create! Simple Stories has rocketed to the top of my favorites list. Most of my budget will be going to you! And I agree with Dawaila above. Where can we get one of those super cute reusable bags?
