Travel as a Trend - A Winter CHA Observation


Viva la Trend!   Travel continues to be a popular theme in crafting this year and I spotted a definite invasion of Eiffel Towers at CHA this week - They were EVERYWHERE.  In displays, on rubber stamps, scrapbook papers, jewelry, and embellishments.  On cards, canvas, layouts, metal charms, and three dimensional art.  Every corner I turned, I spied an Eiffel Tower.   Little did I know when I planned my Designer Showcase display, and my Press Kits for this show, that travel would be popping up so frequently - I was on trend quite by accident!   I have lots more trend observations and photos from the Winter CHA show to share - so stay tuned!

Here’s a peak at a few of them to get your creative muse into the travel themed mood - 

This wire Eiffel Tower even had Eiffel Tower displayed upon it
Hero Arts had Eiffel Towers in abundance 

Feltables embellishments were a part of the trend at The Trend's booth!
