She sure can! (wink!) Bwah ha haaaaaaaa!!! She’s got MORE CHA stuff to drivel about! I had to take Sunday off and spend some time with the family (and the laundry). snort!
Lizzie Anne Designs debuted at CHA. To read more about how these 2 friends started their company, please visit their link at left, under New Friends.
They may have had a tiny booth (literally), but their product line packed a cute and fun wollop! There was such a crush of retailers ordering, that we had a hard time getting close enough to take pics of their booth, so with their permission, I am sharing some from their website here.
Their stamp set designs, called Little Bits, are cute, simple, and clean in style! UM rubber on a vinyl cling system, and easily stored in CD jewel cases. I really loved their Simple Bits, too, which are an image and a separate, but, coordinated sentiment! FUN!
We had the pleasure of chatting with Diane Beckman, fellow SCSer, who was helping out in the Pinecone Press Booth (I actually own a few of their fun books for paper crafters). My camera batteries were dying at the time, so I was glad she got this shot and emailed it to me! Thanks so much, Diane!
The card displays at Penny Black were positively breathtaking; I think my jaw hit the floor! I’ve always been a tremendous fan of Penny Black, and they had their samples down low enough, and so well lit, that it was very easy to get some great shots of their designs. Primarily known for their gorgeous wood mount stamps, and diverse styles, they are becoming equally famous for their drop-dead sticker line (bottom photo), and beautiful papers. They are also introducing a line of clear stamps, including fun alphabets (top photo)!
What I really enchanted me about their sticker line, is the quality, detail and rich color! And, they’re designed to work so well with their stamps, too! If you’re short on time, you can STILL make a scrumptious and elegant card in mere minutes by combining their stickers and stamps! *Uber* cool!
I loved talking with Shaida, the owner, of the company. A beautiful lady, with such vision, and dedication . . . I literally “felt” her passion and commitment to making beautiful stamps, and how much she appreciated stampers like myself, who have loved her company’s images for years . . .
Upsy Daisy Designs is a fun new little company that features yummy scrapbook papers, rustic, bold, –of course, the name caught my attention right away ‘cuz I soooo love daisies, and they, too, have a line of clear stamps.
I’ve checked my files and don’t think I have any more photos and info to share– I’ve finally tapped ‘em out . . . it’s such a *big* show, and I just went through my looooooong list of places I had HOPED to get around to, and, unfortunately, never did . . . so many booths, so little time (and such achey feet by the end of the each day).
I hope you got an inside view of what the SCS adventures were like, and even tho we couldn’t cover “everything”, it felt a little bit like you were there with us!

Julie - Thank you so very much for all this awesome info and love, love, love the photos. You’re a doll for doing this. I’ve been eating your posts up. Part way through reading them I realize I’m almost touching the screen with my nose and have to straighten myself up and then keep on reading of course! Thanks again for all your hard work.
