CHA2014 – The Wrap-Up!

9. Stamps and Stamping Accessories

If you have questions about a particular product or photo from any of the above posts, feel free to leave a comment here and I’ll try my best to give you more information! I tried my best to show a good overall view of the show without obsessing over anything in particular, so thank you so much for having fun with me over the past several weeks!

On the horizon: I really want to get back into making videos (!!!) and more tips and tricks posts, plus one sharing about all the new inks that are out there right now so you can see the differences. I also have a sizable list of requests for filofax inserts and want to re-do the back end of my system for purchasing and participating in classes. I have lots of ambitions! Haha. I’m also editing the first draft of my portfolio, which means that it should be ready to show people in about a week. Eek!

Thanks for stopping by today. Mwah!

Love,
Britta
