I’m writing from CHA! I love capturing the spirit and excitement that comes from this event.
It’s all about AMAZING new product and reconnecting with people from all over the world who ‘get it’.
I am, as many attest, always taking photos at these special events. Here are my top three so far:

Lovely ladies! From left: Teri Anderson, Ashley Harris, Kim Hughes and Kim Kesti

Check out Susan's sparkly tank top...GORGEOUS!

Hmm…I wonder why I like this one so much?
I promise to share hundreds more in the next few days, but until then, I’d love to hear what caption would go perfectly with them. Leave a comment by midnight on Thursday, Jan. 28 and I’ll pick one person to receive some goodies from CHA. Be sure to tell me which picture you’re commenting on!
Maren Benedict,
Paper Crafts Go-to Gal
P.S. If you just can’t wait to see my hundreds of pictures, hop on over to the Paper Crafts Fan Page on Facebook. The editors have been posting some product sneak peeks, plus a few incriminating ones of us after-hours!












i am horrible with captions, but it could be something like just add paper or catch sketch…. i don’t know they all sound a little corny…. can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of that magazine. going to check out the photos! thanks for the post.
I can’t wait to see the new sketch magazine in person!!!! For the magazine – i would use “On every crafters “need” list
# 1 – Enough of the picture taking girls, les get back to making cards.
for picture #2, envy envy envy.
Love the picture of Susan. Love the red hair! My daughters (&1 son) all have red hair as well as a daughter-in-law!
2 – ah, I smell glue stick
If you are talking about captions for more CHA pictures, how about The newest, the latest, the best and the greatest.
susan’s picture makes me think of a movie star:
“Dahling, my Agent can arrange that – just give him a call”
(very classy top!)
#1 PC girls ready for anything!
For the last one: We’ve pared down the possibilities to give you the most useful sketches.
I would love to get my hands on the go to sketches magazine on the bottom photo…but they never seem to have any of those at my local magazine outlet!
I’m commenting on the first pic… I would caption it:
Go-To Girls GO!!!!
How about “Go To Gals bring Sunshine to CHA!” for pic #1?
For #1 – Fun in Sunny California
For #2 – It’s all about the BLING!
For #3 – Let’s get Sketchy.
Susan’s Photo
“Sure, her husband thought that the sequined top was way too expensive, but what he didn’t know was that she actually bought it to embellish scrapbooks with!”
Jealous – warm weather, crafting, paper, stamps, what more could you ask for?
My caption is for the picture of Susan:
“Opelescent Bling Beauty”
Can’t wait to get the Sketch book.
I will give a caption for the first picture of all the ladies. I would have the caption, “we hold all of the CHA secrets”.
The magazine looks great – would love to have a copy! The pictures look like everyone is having a grand time. One of these days I’ll make it to CHA; ’til then I’ll have to dream.
caption for Susan’s picture:
“I’m here at CHA and ready to get into it!”
Great pics, and I’m glad you’re having lots of fun! I think the first photo’s caption should be:
“Together at last (and in REAL LIFE this time)!”
Love your top Susan…..You are looking Gorgeous at CHA. You ladies are soo lucking I’m sure you had sooo much fun at CHA. Thanks for a chance to win some goodies.
Can’t wait to see the rest of those photos! Great ones so far. Maybe CHA could come to NY – just once.
pic # 1 Friends til the End
Pic #2 I’ve got SAS to go with this SPARKLE!
Pic #3 GOT SKETCHES?
Picture #2 should read – “Don’t I look fabulous! I am the sparkle queen.”
I love the natural lighting pouring in on the first photo. The caption could read “Natural Beauties”.
the “calm before the fun”. the the 4 ladies. I looks like they just started the day. Nice and calm. Now you need one for the end of the day. Wish i could be there.
Sounds like you all had a blast. Love Susan’s top! I would caption it as, Bring on the bling, glitter, and Scrapiness!
Dancing Queen!
Wow! I sketch book, I didn’t know I needed one, but I know I WANT one!
Susan knew the world was bright and sparkly with promise, so she wore her sparkly top to capture all the energy she could!
Bad, I know, but all I could think of! Becky G.
Love these pics! I would say CHA Gals Best in the Biz!
A girl can never have too much bling! Love Susan’s tank.
I can’t wait to get more details about the new mag…..looks like you guys are having a great time!
Wish I was there! Everyone seemed to have a fabulous time.

For the first picture, it could read – “Four stinkin’ cute and incredibly talented Go-To Gals go to CHA!” How’s that?! LOL
Under Susan:
Susan in Wonderland
Happiness is meeting friends at CHA! Love that magazine too!
2. I bling therefore; I am.
