Where did we leave off?
Ah, yes, I was headed into my Live With Prima class (you can watch these classes online right now, by the way)! We made "Pretty Packages." Check it out:
I wandered into the Doodlebug booth…
…where I loved their buttons!
I hit up the Studio Calico booth next!
Um, hello! OPAQUE white mist! That's like the holy grail. Can't wait to get my hands on that!
The very adorable Emily Pitts was doing a make and take!
I fell in love with the beautiful trims at the Expo International booth:
I whizzed by the impressive crowd at the Provo Craft booth:
I next visited the EK Success booth, which was packed with product! EK is the overarching company behind brands like Inkssentials, K&Co., and Martha Stewart.
I peeked into the Kaiser Craft booth next. They always have fabulous chipboard/mdf products!
And here's a peek at some of their other stuff:
I *love* these wooden flourishes. Especially the leaves and frames. Yum!
And now how about some Cosmo Cricket?
Love, love, love these tiny alphas! And what a great color!
I did a drive-by (okay, okay, a walk-by) of the DCWV booth:
And here's a peek at the May Arts booth:
And then I settled into the Jillibean booth where I ran into the very talented Paula Gilarde:
And here's the Jillibean booth:
I would not have known that these were alphas if they hadn't removed that "a" from the top left corner!
Second baker's twine of the day! I'm seeing a trend!
Canvas embellishments were another HUGE trend!
Oh my! These herringbone letters (above) had me at hello!
Yes, please! A million of these kraft tags, please!
The Lilybee booth was right across the way, so I stopped in!
I thought that their booth demonstrated several of the trends I was seeing all over the show floor. Banner and ornate oval frames are everywhere:
Butterflies are still hot:
Vintage (esp. vaguely sewing related) is definitely a trend:
Speaking of vintage, Jenni Bowlin was next on my list!
I'm not sure if they're new or old, but those round journaling spots are awesome! I plan to hunt them down!
Above, you can see Jenni's much discussed new line of paint dabbers and ink pads for Ranger. I'm excited to try out the colors, especially the yellow and red!
Next up was My Little Yellow Bicycle:
Trend alert! More banners!
Trend alert! Ornate frames!
You can see some ladies doing a make and take here in the booth.
Trend alert! Pinwheels!
Can you believe that we're not even done with day one, yet? Whew!
It's 2am here and I've got another day ahead of me, so I'm going to hit the hay. I'll be back with more as soon as I can!
To be continued…
