Here are photos of some new releases of papers at CHA-Summer. This is just a small sampling of what I got to see -- there were a lot of booths I just never made it to! But I thought those of you who share my paper passion (including my friend, Stanna!) -- I knew you'd love seeing these!.
I was very pleased to see FIVE new paper collections from one of my favorite manufacturers, BasicGrey. I can't wait to play with these (click on any of these photos for a larger view)!
Just a few of the MANY collections at Rusty Pickle that caught my eye:
Another of my favorite manufacturers, Websters Pages, has two new collections (drool)! I loved the "paint chip" samples they had and was honored to get to meet Brandin O'Neill, whom I've had the pleasure of chatting with at their new online community, inspireMe (waving to Brandin!) They have some chat forums there, along with a fabulous gallery using their products.
Below are Inspired (left) and Reflections of Nature (right):
Jenni Bowlin has some cute new 4-inch chipboard alterable books, along with 4-inch scaled down patterned paper collections to use with them -- pure genius!
I loved the vintage look of their booth and displays. They also had a new Crepe Paper Ribbon in different color groupings/packages. Since it's made of crepe paper, it adds vertually no weight or bulk to your scrapbook pages or cards. You can see on the blue heart project & bird how it's gathered around the edges and on the bottom of the white photo in the frame, several rows of it were added:
And scaled down bingo cards and calendars -- a perfect new size for altered art and for cardmaking:
That just about wraps up the papers I was able to see and take photos of. I'll be back with some more reports a little bit later!
OMGOSH, you girls must all think you've gone to heaven!!! Those papers and accessories are to die for...awesome! Thank you for sharing the great pictures! WOW WOW WOW!!!! :D

Hi Sharon, I missed seeing you at CHA. Loved the Rusty Pickle booth and that Jenni Bowlin vintage look is so great. I was happy about the new Bingo cards. Did some great make and takes at Just Rite. Thanks for sharing your photos.
