Now that CHA is underway, does anyone have great sneak peeks to share? I seem to recall a blog that listed them all, but can't remember the name. Papercrafts magazine has been putting up quite a few photos on FB.
I saw a new line from Simple Stories called 24/7. Yippee! I LOVE the SS lines!
A great way to see what's new is to go to youtube. Type in: winter cha 2013. Companies upload daily. I've seen Tim Holtz demo products, Spellbinders new awesome
stuff, and countless types of paper,embellishments etc. My advice is to keep paper and pen handy! I always make wish lists as I am watching these videos!
maybe its me but not impressed with many of the paper collections this time. A few I would like but many are the smash book/ daily format. And while I like that for some things - not eveything

I was too. :( I looked at a lot of paper lines. I don't want to look at paper for a long time now, lol. I guess it's not a good paper season for me. Hopefully Summer CHA I will be wanting all the lines.
I really loved Zutter's Bow it All & WRMK's Envelope Maker. I like the Spellbinder's bezel dies. I look forward to seeing those coming out.
I was curious about the adhesive too. I don't want to fuss with 1/8" scor-tape, but I'd be worried I'd be too generous and then the card/insert would be glued to the envelope. :p
Sookwang tape is the best for envelopes. You would need the 3 mm or 1/8 inch size. It is a double sided tape for those of you who don't know this product. I have used it for years. It comes in all sorts of sizes. It is available in most craft stores ( not Michaels). You can also get a version of this at some dollar stores. I have about 5 different sizes on hand, as I use it for cards, ATC's, envelopes...
One of the things I plan to get is the Envelope Punch Board...
If you're making your envelopes and you'll use them at a later date, Green Sneakers makes a glue that is remoistenable just like the glue that is on the commercially made envelope that you buy where you lick the envelope flap edge to seal it closed.
I tried at least five times to post a link to their website (greensneakers.com) but the SCS site page would black out, so at least here's the name of their site if you'd like to read about this product.
WRMK has a real hit with this envelope maker, justifyably so - very handy tool. On my must haves for CHA Winter 2013...

I have the Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board on order- hopefully it will arrive at my local store sometime in February. Also really anxious to get my hands on the new Dylusions sprays....
CHA peeks?
