hi bloggers!  it's that time of year again when the creative wheels are in full motion and the buzz and excitement of cha (the craft and hobby trade show) is just weeks away.  this is the time in our industry when new products, ideas, and techniques emerge and i'm excited to share it all with you.  over the next two weeks leading up to the show i will be posting product previews of the latest releases i have coming out in the first half of 2012.  remember, this is all about sharing in the excitement of what's coming your way, and getting your mind thinking of ideas to create.  to start things off, here's a look at some of the new stuff i've created for sizzix alterations.  this is the first batch of products shipping in february that includes some fun and "different" things – enjoy…t!m
