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 -
