I am at CHA

I am in California at the industry Trade show also known as CHA.
I have been sharing on Facebook photos when I get a chance.

Although the show does not open till Sunday I have been taking classes, meeting with manufacturers and catching up with some friend in the industry.

I have had an entire day of education with Tim Holtz and also two additional classes. I will post some photos when I get a chance to breathe.

This is the start of the all day Tim Holtz Education day



We made a tag booklet filled with techniques

I got to play with one of the latest products: Distress Markers

Even Mario noticed I got my hair cut

This was the start of a class I took with Tim Holtz, Caludine Helmuth and Dyan Reavaly

P.S. I got to play with the new cartridges called Stamp 2 Cut from Tim that work on the eClips. Oh my we are definitely getting this.

More later.
