Another great product I was introduced to this year was Glitter Dust from thermo web, I never tried it before, when I did, I was instantly hooked, not only is the product wonderful, their booth was too cute and their staff beyond nice.The possibilities of this spray glitter were amazing, here is the glitter sprayed onto scrapbook paper: which were turned into paper flowers. the best part of this product is when you spray it onto your paper it doesn't way it down, warp or effect the paper in anyway, just sprays on the glitter, now how great is that? I'd recommend trying some of this on your next project!

What made my journey to Thermo Web even better was running into Rachel, love this girl!

My next fave product on the list is no. 15, October Afternoon, this is the first year I heard of them and boy am I glad I did, I loved everything they had to offer, even the catalog, lol. Here take a look:



How much do you love those sprinklers, crepe paper color? OMG, need I say more, their whole line kept me smiling for hours, I will be ordering alot of their sweet goodies to use in my next series of projects....Now off to no. 16, Offray Ribbon, Okay who loves sports? Uhm, I do and who almost fainted at this display, Uhm, I did:Its the Yankee symbol that drew me in, I saw it from a mile away, I kept thinking of everything I could do with this ribbon, and how can I use them in my sports cuffs, hmmmmm, lots to think about here, baseball season is coming and so are some new ideas for you all, now its no wonder that this made my top 25 list of CHA new products...Love it....Let's play ball.....Now we are at no. 17, Best Creations, whose sweet shoppe line of papers, I just love, check them out:How cute are all these papers? Don't you just love them, can't wait to grab these for my next series of projects too! The possibilities with all the products I showed you today are endless, keeps the imagination alive!

Right Now I am showing no. 11, 12, 13:Basic Grey, Kaiser Craft, EK Success!

No. 11 is Basic Grey, they always put out great line of scrapbooking papers and accessories, I've been a fan from the beginning! This year my fave of their new lines is the Konnichiwa line, its so Kawaii meets whimsical and storybook all wrapped in one. I noticed throughout the show the most popular themes were: Dolls (Paper Doll, Matryoshka, Konnichiwa, Kitsch, etc.), Kawaii Style meaning everything cute, with Asian influence and all sweet, Bake Shoppe/Sweet Shoppe, Nature: Trees, Owls, Birds and Steampunk: Steampunk Travel, Wheels, Clocks, Dress Forms, Bird Cages, Victorian, Apothecary, Lanterns, Hot Air Balloons, etc.
I just love all these papers, I have to have them, imagine the possibilities..........
Now I must move onto no. 12 with Kaiser Craft, another scrapbook company who unveiled a few great lines: I just love the cute Kawaii style trees and chubby faced owls, they are just too cute!I especially love the cutesy deers and red top Gnome like mushrooms:Their whole line is fabulous and like Basic Grey, I need to have this new line from Kaiser Craft too, I am imagining all the artful goodness I could create with this line....

Now My final pick of this post is no. 13: EK Success: French General and Martha Stewart Lines!
I have been a fan of French General for years, I have had the pleasure of meeting the French General herself: Kari, have journeyed to her store and attended a French General event or two. So when I saw her line w/EK Success, I knew instantly I'd have to have everything in it!
Look at all these fab products:Can you pick a fave yet? LOL, so much eye candy, I was here forever, then I ran into my friend from grade school Alex, who introduced me to another fabulous line that Martha Stewart created!Martha's new line of clay and clay molds, well we all know how much I love molds, I've been creating my own for over 8 years, time flies, lol. So we all know I'm going to love this set of products, lots of flower, butterfly and accent molds:These are all made from clay:Are you in love yet????? I'd say I am, I'll be carrying the French General and Martha Stewart EK Success products in my store soon, especially the molds and clay, I hope I don't keep them all for myself, lol!

Stay tuned for no. 14-17 of the top 25! For more information on Basic Grey, Kaiser Craft and Ek Success/Martha Stewart and French General visit their sites:
