Punch Inspiration 7/31/10 & Some CHA chit chat

I know I said I wouldn't be able to post anything for today, but I had some time in the hotel to surf the net and find some great ideas.  You would not believe all of the awesome cool stuff I bought at the CHA SuperShow yesterday.  My wallet is still smokin'!  And I'll be going back today as well.  I was so happy to meet Beate yesterday who is a real hero of mine.  She hugged me like a good friend.  I showed her my portfolio and we talked a little.  It was pretty busy over at the SCS booth since they were right there by the main door entrance.

I loaded up on stamps from Peachy Keen stamps.  They have the coolest stamps!  I can't wait to share all of my creations with them.  They are stamps of faces and expressions.  I saw those stamps and instantly, I HAD to get them since they would go so great with my punch art.  I can do eyes well with the teardrop punch, but I've never been very good with drawing on the eyelashes, nose and mouth.  I also got some really funny greetings from MFT to add to my collection.  Custom Crops had the Pink Lady stamps that are so fun.  So I ended up buying 3 sets of greetings.  They will all go so well with my upcoming punch art classes.  Lots of great make and takes.  Taylored Expressions of course had some wonderful make and takes yesterday.  I got to do one, but they also changed the make and take every 2 hours.  If I was ambitious, I could have gone over and made 4 yesterday.  Denemi and their most awesome stamps was there.  The samples always blow me away.  I only got one super cute hooty owl stamp.  I wish they offered unmounted.  Their wood stamps are really expensive!  Oh, and I HAD to go dig through the multiple bins of loose unmounted rubber over at Whipper Snapper.  They really have the funnest and cutest stamps ever made!

I could go on and on and make you all jealous, but I won't.  On to the inspiration!
