Let's Face it Friday - So Punny!





Hello Everyone! What a week! If you've been following the CHA Chicago updates and buzz on many crafty blogs around the 'net, you know this summer's show was amazing! While I can't put my finger on just what made it more spectacular than last summer's show, I can tell you the creative energy was everywhere. Companies really put their heart and soul into this summer's displays and had engaging make and takes that really helped you grasp each product. We had a blast visiting! For more info on what made CHA's Top 20 Hottest New Products, be sure to visit their BLOG.

I am SOOOOO excited to welcome another inspirational crafter as our Guest Designer this week. Lauren from Lauren's Creative was a guest designer last year and I couldn't be happier to have her and her creative mind back again! Lauren finds the cutest cuts to go with her layout themes (and she's a layout queen, let me tell you!) and the sweetest sentiments to go on her cards. Not to mention she is one of the sweetest people I've ever "met"! Let's see what her and the rest of our talented DT have for you today!
