Groovin’ with the Go-to Gals – Our CHA Picks!

Betsy Veldman

It’s that time of year again…when paper crafters from around the world “ooh” and “ahh” over all of the glorious new goodies being released. CHA is underway, and I’m seriously jealous of those walking the floor this very day. 

For the rest of us at home, glued to our screens, looking for sneak peeks and show photos, I thought it would be fun to share some product picks from the Paper Crafts Go-to Gals…

These are the goodies that these crafty girls can’t wait to get their hands on!

Teri Anderson

Our sweet, funky Teri can’t wait to play with the wood veneer shapes from Studio Calico. She says she’s especially, and I quote, “geeked” about these alphas. She says wood + text = heaven. 

Jessica Witty

Jess is especially excited about the new Restoration collection from Crate Paper. It’s full of vintage inspired goodies, bright colors, florals, doilies and more. Jess…we’re shocked (no…not really)! If you know Jess, you know her obsession with doilies…and vintage things.

Kim Kesti

Now for another shocker, Kim K. is daydreaming about American Crafts’ new City Park line. Imagine that…our clean and graphic girl excited by one of the new American Crafts lines! This line is filled with sunshine and color, with adorable images of clouds, hot air balloons, flowers and more.

Kim Hughes

Kim H. is doing some serious drooling over the new Artisan Elements from Pink Paislee…and I have to agree. My goodness those are gorgeous! They can be colored with all sorts of different mediums making them classy and universal…just like our beloved Kim!

Maren Benedict

Our happy little homemaker Maren is anxious to cook up some paper crafted goodies with the new Modern Homemaker collection from October Afternoon. It looks like they’ve whipped up another great collection full of adorable prints and colors. This one is definitely at the top of my list, too!

Betsy Veldman

As for me, I’m going to have to go with Pink Paislee’s new Sweetness collection. You might be familiar with my love of vintage things and bright colors, and this collection has it all! Yellow, aqua, pink and a touch of red. Sigh. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I don’t know about you, but I loved seeing the things that are at the top of my fellow Go-to Gals’ crafty wish lists. Each one seems to have found something to fit their paper crafting personalities…and that’s the beauty of it all. There’s something for everyone…and chances are you’re a little like me…and there are a lot of somethings you’ll want to add to your wish list!

Oohing and aahing along with you,

Betsy Veldman,
Paper Crafts Go-to Gal

P.S. It’s the last Wednesday of the month and that means it’s time for another Go-to Gal Designer Challenge! This week the girls are playing with goodies from American Crafts. Hop around to Betsy, Jess, Kim H., Kim K., Maren and Teri’s blogs to see what they’ve whipped up!
