If you are reading this and you don't know what CHA is, well, all I gotta say is where have you been? just kidding... CHA is the semi annual convention of the Craft and Hobby Association. This is where all the scrapbook companies come to debut their new products. :) Now you've learned something new!
One more thing for today. This is a list of the challenges form the July 4th contest at www.scrapnart.com. I found this list to be inspiring, with many great ideas to get me started. The contest is over, of course, but I thought some of you might still find the suggestions inspiring. You can also check out all the challenge entries (each one used one of these ideas) at the Scrap N' Art website.
