We just got back from the CHA Summer 2012 show and boy was it a blast! We ordered from THIRTY TWO new lines to create many different kits for you going through the end of the year! We can't wait to get started creating and we know you're just going to LOVE what we make with it!
But until that time we wanted to share some of the highlights from the show and hopefully spread around the inspiration! Some of the trends (new and ongoing):
*Owls
*Banners/flags
*Pinwheel flowers
*Sprays and mists on a layout or album (think Glimmer Mist)
*Frames
*Retro themes, including polaroid inspired frames (think Instagram!)
*Glitter letters and strips to add just a touch of sparkle to your project
*Trendy colors such as chartreuse, aqua, blush, charcoal, mustard and ivory
*Cameo inspired accents
*Texture, lots & lots of texture (cardboard, canvas, cork & burlap)
...just to name a few! Here are some pics to get your creative juices flowing:
