Let’s Help Crops of Luv

Did you participate in Live at CHA.  Well, if you did, you already know that many, many items were donated by designers and manufacturers to benefit Crops of Luv!!!  Charity Wings is selling those items on eBay.

Let me give you some examples.  Click on any of the photos to be taken to that auction.

 

 

The first thing donated was this adorable Slumber Party Tote designed and created by the lovely, Laura Bray.  It even includes the cutie pie teddy bear!!!

Isn’t this the perfect set to send that little girl off on her first sleepover?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would you like to get organized?  Well, you can certainly do that with a brand new Clip it Up by Simply Renee.  It includes all you see here; the bottom tier, upper tier and the base plus the zip bags and clips.  Boy, would I like this on my desk.  Keeping things out in the open where you can see them means you’ll use them more. 

No more finishing a project and then saying, “Oh I could have used THAT paper but I forgot about it.”   I know I have a whole cart of paper sitting on the other side of the room because I just don’t have room for it near me.    The paper in that cart rarely gets used.

 

 

 

 

 

I am in love with this Vintage Street Market kit.  I’m hoping I win it.  If not, I sure hope it will be in my LSS!!!

What would I get, you ask?  You will receive the Dime Store Vogue Collection I set and you will get 1 package of Linen Tinted Tape, and 1 package of Aged Tinted Tape.  I’ve seen these items put to use on their blog and they are so fun!!!

 

 

 

 

There are several electronic items as well.

  

The eCraft Electronic cutting system.  The first and only electronic cutter that allows you to cut without a mat.  Its ease of use combined with advanced technology makes the eCraft the perfect cutting system for all consumers- beginner to expert. It is ideal for scrapbooking, banners, paper crafting, card making, fashion designing, home decor, and so much more.

The eCraft's unique design and paper feeder system make it easy to cut materials automatically, without the use of a cutting mat. Use the Paper Tray to stack multiple sheets at a time, or use the Roller to cut 12" by ANY length.  The eCraft is ultra slim, and its lightweight design and onboard storage compartment let you take it anywhere. Use it on its own with SD Image Cards, or attached to a computer with the eCraftshop Design Software that comes in the box! With the large selection of fonts, shapes and designs, anyone can be an expert in minutes. Making great looking projects has never been easier!

Brought to you be eCraft, the winner will receive a unit in one of the 4 colors shown above.  I’d be choosing the light blue!!!

Live at CHA with Charity Wings

Why Should You Sign Up for Live at CHA?

Laura Bray has graciously answered this question for you!!! 

In Laura’s own words:

“I'm a CHA member, so I'm going to the show, but I'm almost jealous of the people who are doing the Live at CHA Event!  The lines of make & takes at the show can get long and there are so many booths that you can get overwhelmed and miss out on seeing some great new products.  The CHA Live folks aren't going to have these issues (not to mention the costs of parking, and staying in a hotel and the bad food options!).  If you have ever wanted to attend CHA this is an amazing opportunity!”

That’s not all!  Can you believe it that the one and only  Donna Downey will be demoing for Faber-Castell during the event.  I can’t wait to see that one.  I for one, watch Donna’s Inspiration Wednesday posts on her blog every week!  I wonder what she’s got going this week?

There’s even more to come so stay tyned to this spot!!!

Prima Make and Take

You have got to see this!!!

This is the make and take goodies that will soon be on the way from Prima to use in the Live at CHA Prima make and take!  Can you believe all this Prima beauty?  I love the butterflies, the paper and, as always, their beautiful flowers!!!

If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time.  This is only the beginning.  I’ve heard of more goodness from some of the other sponsors.  I can’t wait to share more!!!

Click here to register now and you will receive a swag bag valued at over $50!

Do You Know Suzi Blu?

Well neither do I but I’m dying to meet her!!!

I have several of Suzi’s Unity stamps and taking one of her classes is on my to do list for this year but I’m thinking that meeting here in person is going to have to wait until another time.

Unless, like me, you are registered for Charity Wings Live at CHA event.  Suzi will be at CHA with our very own Elena interviewing some of our industries finest and smartest and playing along with the make and takes.  And you get to play right along with them!!!

So, if you haven’t registered yet, go to the Live at CHA page on the Charity Wings website to register.  You will receive a swag bag containing things that you will need for the make and takes (worth over $50)!!!

More Live at CHA News!!!

Elena almost has the goodie bags ready to go out and CHA is just around the corner.  Are you going with her?
You can go to CHA with Elena via your computer and the internet.  Since my last post, I have more great news to share with you.
First of all and what I’m really excited about is that Suzi Blu is joining Elena there!!!  I love that  girl and have one of her online classes on my to do list for this year!!!  She has so much talent and I can’t wait to see what she is sharing with us at CHA!
That would be enough for me but, hold on to your hats now ladies, Provo Craft is giving an awesome, Cricut Imagine.  Imagine That!!!  And they are giving us a second one to auction and raise money for Crops of Luv! The charity that is benefiting from the LIVE at CHA event. They unveiled this machine at CHA Summer.  Just in case you haven’t heard, this thing cuts AND prints AND embosses!!!  Imagine That!!!  (Don’t ya’ just love my little pun!  I crack myself up!!!)
So, what’s next you ask?  How would you like to come along for free?  If you get four of your friends to join you in this awesome adventure,YOUR registration is free!  Once you and your friends have registered, email your four friends names in and your registration will be refunded!!!







Do you own or no someone that owns a scrapbook store.  They can carry Live at CHA in there store!  Just contact info@charitywings.org for the specific information!

Plus, if you could help us out, we would love it!  Please post one of these ads (the top one or this one directly above) on your blog, Facebook or other social media site.  We really do appreciate it!

Live at CHA Update

I’ll tell ya’ what!  Elena continues to amaze me with updates about our Live at CHA event!  I mentioned in the last CHA blog post about our wonderful swag bags but now Elena tells me that we are getting a free Make-N-Take from the people at Flower Soft.

Yes, I said Flower Soft.  They are the people that bring you pretty little sprinkles to add to your flowers to give them beautiful, soft dimension.  They will be giving a pot of this magic along with a tube of glue by Duncan and they will be hosting a live demonstration from the showroom floor on how to use the items they are adding to the swag bag!

  

     

       

I hear the Make-N-Take thing is going to be awesome.   It will be streamed live from the showroom floor.  You can work on your own project from home while you chat with everyone else from their homes.   Then, if you want to show off your project, just raise your hand and they’ll turn the cameras on you.  (Hopefully I will have figured out how to use my webcam by then. *giggle*)

You will be able to chat with industry leaders and designers that are attending CHA!  There will be giveaways from manufacturers if you are in the chat room! 

So, how about you?  I’ve purchased my ticket and I’m clearing my schedule from January 29-30th that I can be around for as many live sessions as possible!  Come join me!!!

Live at CHA Volunteers Needed

Remember this post and this one, about Charity Wings Live at CHA event.  We could use a few volunteers to help us out on January 29, 30 and 31.

We have four areas that we need help with: 
 
ONSITE Volunteers:

• You would work at the Charity Wings booth handing out brochures and greeting attendees.
• Help with Make-n-Takes and greet attendees at the Wescott booth guiding .
• Walk the floor with Elena assisting Elena with networking.

ONLINE Volunteers:

• Work four hour shifts moderating the internet room - shifts will also require checking attendees against sign-up lists and insuring they have paid to be there.

 

IMPORTANT!  CHA is a BIG event!  Any of the shifts onsite will require a lot of standing and walking.  If you have any health issues that my cause you discomfort while performing physical activities, the best way to help is by being a moderator for the online events. All online moderators need to have a good internet connection and capable of being online for the entire four hour shift. (Of course, you can step away quickly to use the restroom, etc.!)

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Amy at amygell88@gmail.com
