Ok, so I know that CHA has been over for a couple weeks now and I’m a little behind, but that’s what getting a brand new puppy will do for you! I’ve started to receive some of the hot new products from the recent Craft & Hobby Association Summer Convention, and I wanted to share my top 5 favorite new products, and give you a chance to win a little something! Here they are, in no particular order.

1) Pretty much all of the new embellishments from Prima! Prima is of course best known for their flowers, so it’s probably no surprise that their Sugar Blooms are my favorite new release. Don’t they just look like candy?! However, I also love their new Say it in Pearls varieties – and yes, all the other stunning new flowers they’ve created. Make sure to check out all their new releases on the Prima Blog. If you’d like to receive a package of something new and fabulous from Prima, leave a comment here by August 31st and you’ll be entered to win!

2) The Slice Think Pink Design Card and Paper Pack from Making Memories.  Making Memories is releasing a pink version of the Slice, its portable digital design cutter, and donating a portion of the proceeds to help aid in the fight against breast cancer. The Think Pink design card includes some beautiful shapes, along with words that everyone who has been touched by this horrible disease will be able to use. And who could resist these beautiful papers?! Certainly not me!

3) The chipboard albums by Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker. The woman behind this great new company has me hooked on all of her new stuff, but I think the chipboard albums are my fave. They come in a variety of shapes: tree, house, owl, ghost, tag, crown, and scalloped square. They are just so cute, and she even created 6×6 paper pads to go with them!  I also love the fact that the albums don’t come with holes in them, so you can choose where to put the ring(s) and punch the holes yourself. Look for a full review of all of her brand new products coming soon right here on Qwowi!

4) The new Kitchen Spice and Delilah collections from Bo Bunny. I know, that’s technically two different things– but I can’t choose just one. The designers over at Bo Bunny really outdid themselves this time! I especially love the diecut papers in these lines, and can’t wait to get my hands on them!

5) Album Elements from Little Yellow Bicycle. I’ve mentioned in several past reviews how grateful I was to LYB for finally creating chipboard albums and coordinating paper pads that require no cutting, sanding, etc…And yes, they’ve done it again – five times! The themes are: Family, Dog, Faith, Girlfriends and Pregnancy, and each collection includes a chipboard album, a tablet of pre-cut papers and die cuts, glitter stickers and a journaling tablet. Sounds like a winner to me!

There are so many other great new products out there that I don’t have room to mention here, but I’d love to hear about your favorites too! And again, if you leave a comment you will be entered to win one of Prima’s new releases.
