CHA Update & Preview

We're home from CHA and feel that we were very productive. In the past the Summer Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show and Convention has been hosted in Chicago, this year the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando brought it to our back door. Being so close to home made it much easier to bring back new product samples and boy did we!!



In the past, we were always really excited after coming home from our all inspiring trip but then had to wait weeks or even months to receive the product. Luckily that's not the case this year and we are expecting deliveries as soon as this week.



Be on the look out for several new vendors coming to Scrapbook Place along with many of our long time favorites. We even have exclusivity to one of them, meaning we'll be the only store in South Florida to carry the companies entire new product line. Unfortunately we can't name names - the vendor wishes to remain anonimous, so mum's the word.... We'll be sure to let you know when the product arrives.



Our class calendars are already penciled in with exciting new and innovative classes and projects until the end of the year. Some of our plans include our 8th Anniversary Bash in September, several special events like our 3rd Annual ScrapPink Charity Crop and special Guest Designers. Speaking of guest designers, arrangements have been made with two extremely talented celebrity scrapbookers. We were approached on the trade show floor by these extremely talented artists and designers who asked us to come teach to our customers. We were totally flattered and of course agreed on the spot. We are taking advanced reservations and have the original autographed class samples on hand. Seats are limited and will sell out extremely fast. Book today for these exclusive, not to be repeated classes.



Now back to our 8th Anniversary Bash, in celebration of our 8 years of success, we're bringing in Guest Designer Michelle Van Etten. Michelle is a featured designer for Graphic 45, Tattered Angels, Prima and Crafty Secrets. Her class will feature products from these companies and introduce you to a really unique way of scrapbooking. Be sure to come see her layout at the store. Michelle's class will be on the class calendar for September so be sure to pre-register, as this class has been a sell out every other time she's taught it!
