Great finds at the Summer CHA show

The Summer CHA Show has come and gone. This show is a great opportunity to see what's new in the craft industry. Though much of the show is dedicated to scrap-bookers, there are always great finds - even for the few of us that don't scrapbook.

One of my favorites this year, and every year, is Viva Decor. Their products are spectacular! And the demos in their booth were the best! I could have sat there for three days watching Lisa Pavelka demonstrate her polymer clay techniques or admiring the stunning bangle bracelets from www.bajidoo.com. I can't wait to try out the products I brought home! Visit http://www.viva-decor.us/ to see their full product line.

Clear Scrap is another great product that caught my eye. These clear acrylic shapes offer endless possibilities for projects. Check out http://www.clearscraps.com/ for product line and project ideas.

I was very excited to see that Creative Imaginations is now carrying the Twinkling H2O's that were previously sold thru Luminarte. Now, if they will carry the Luminarte mediums, life will be good again :) See the Twinkling H2O's at www.creativeimaginations.us.

For beaders on a budget, (aren't we all), check out http://www.dollarbead.com/. All bead strands are a dollar!! Flat rate shipping of $5.00.

And visit http://sites.google.com/site/distracedbyshiny/projects soon for free project ideas using these great new products.
