CHA and a cute brush set

Hi! Me again! :-D
I have a few more things to talk about today, but please be sure to scroll down after you read this post and check out the one below this. Please help Haiti and purchase the beautiful digital kit my friend Lesley designed. The next order of business I have is I have to share these cute birdie brushes that Crystal Wilkerson’s sister, Emily, designed. Look at these adorable brushes:
Pretty stinkin’ cute, eh? LOVE them! And guess what? You can purchase this brush kit for just $2! Now how is that for a steal? Click HERE to go to Crystal’s blog where you can purchase it. I’m thinking this creative talent definitely runs in their family! Crystal posted this on her blog about her sister:

Last semester she was attending college at BYU when she broke her back doing a backflip on a trampoline. Unfortunately she had to leave school until her back heals. She has been staying with me ever since Christmas. We were trying to figure out a way she could earn money for tuition, since her work opportunities are now limited, when we discovered she had a talent for design! I have been teaching her Photoshop & Illustrator and, I have to say, she has created some pretty cute designs. Every Friday, she will sell a new kit on my blog for 50% off. You’ll have one week to get it before we replace it with a new kit. Everything she makes will go toward her college tuition, so please help spread the word!

Isn’t that such a cool idea? Love how she’s creating such cute digital elements to help pay for college. Awesome. Best of luck to you, Emily!!!! I can’t wait to see what she creates next! :-D

Ok, now onto CHA. If you’re a scrapbooker, card maker or crafter you know that CHA is the Craft and Hobby Association show that they do a couple times a year (I think) and it’s about to be going on in California. This is where scrapbook and crafting manufacturers show off their newest products and releases. I love seeing the sneak peeks that come out when it’s all about to go down. Here are some of my favorites:

The new Dear Lizzy line from American Crafts. This is at the top of my list of must-haves. :-D
I also love these new goodies by American Crafts:

Thanks for reading this blog post if you got this far. There are TONS more goodies coming out, but thankfully I’m not seeing as much as I normally do that I just need. :-D Lots of cute goodies out there and I can’t wait to get them and of course hoard them for a bit and THEN use them. Ha! ;) I hope you have a great day and don’t forget to purchase Emily’s cute birdie brush kit and the Hope for Haiti kit! Two cute goodies for two great causes! :-D Hugs! Have a happy weekend!
