One reason that makes CHA so much fun to attend is all the inspiration, new product collections and FREE make-n-takes! Next week we'll be hosting three different make-n-takes, a different project each day with the new products. If you're coming to Chicago you'll want to visit Booth #1643 each day for a new project! Here's a peek at what we'll be creating together with you!
Therese, our make-n-take and workshop extraordinaire, is actually a scrapbook store owner. She's in charge of a darling little shop we call PolkaDots. Therese has designed these cute projects, prepped all the pieces and will be in charge at the make-n-take table come CHA. Many of you have gotten to know her over the past few shows, so she'll be looking for you!
CHA Summer Make-N-Takes
Check out this cute flip-card, themed Birthday Boy or Birthday Girl for your convenience.
If you'd like you can even turn it into a miniature flip album, like Therese did here.
How fun is this luggage tag? Insert a bit of patterned paper and an address label and you're all set to go!
Attach it to a scrapbookin' tote, luggage or jazz up a gift for a friend!
And, last but not least stop by to create this sweet "I Am Thankful For..." Mini Album, featuring new Thankful products.
It's so sweet, constructed from Kraft paper and full of color and earth tones.

CHA Summer Workshop
Now that Bella Blvd is FOUR years old & overflowing with products for every season, what better way to celebrate than creating a desktop calendar to keep track of all the birthdays of your family and friends! Make-n-takes are fun, but workshops are even better ... don't you think? I mean, who doesn't love a bunch of free product and a darling, already-completed design to take home?! For CHA Summer Therese has designed a very cool, very versatile perpetual desktop calendar. If you haven't signed up already, try to sneak in on Tuesday night (July 17th) from 6-8pm we'll be croppin' away! Here's a peak at the very unique workshop project...that we might just happen to give away next week here on the blog (a kit complete with instructions and everything you need!).
**********************************************************************
We are thrilled to bring you three brand new collections with several coordinating embellishments. The products are just around the corner and will begin appearing at your favorite online and LSS by the middle of August.
Our NEW CHA Summer Catalog Supplement is available for viewing and downloading.

Next week the CHA show will officially open in Chicago, Illinois. We have been hard at work designing a new booth for our customers consisting of a fresh, clean and bright look. Change is good. We can't wait to reveal it to you in person, and in pictures with live updates from the show next week! In addition, stay tuned next week as we bring you "A week of endless inspiration" with never-seen-before projects that will be featured in our CHA booth display. You're going to love seeing all our new products in action as our Design Team has been busy, busy busy creating plenty of happiness!
Very Nice. I really appreciate it. Its a one kind of Art that we can say.

The luggage tag is a great idea, but my fav is the calendar album. What a great way to track birthdays and anniversaries for each month. Love that idea.

One day I will attend CHA - and never come home! I saw a flip card on Scrapping with Christine's blog that was done with the Birthday Girl paper and had to come hunt the Bella Blvd blog for the tutorial! I see it here but not instructions. It just looks like, though, you simply fold the cardstock paper, is that correct? I would love to make this but want to do it properly!! Thanks!!
