The adorable CHA booth award always goes to Sassafras! I mean, how can you resist these monsters greeting you?

Grrr!

We've been Sassafras fans since way back when they were Sassafras Lass... you know, old-school style. Well, there's nothing old-school about Sassafras' new releases... except everything! We're totally digging the retro vibe of their new papers, clear stamps, and oh my, the embellishments are simply delish!

Check out some booth pics of the new paper lines:

Monstrosity




Sweet Marmalade




Amplify; the most unusual of the new lines, but one of our picks for Best In Show.






And these AWESOME felt embellishments, appropriately named Felties



Paper Whimsies
anyone? We love the playing card shaped embellishments especially.


Oh brads... look how cute you are all displayed in a tiny hoop! (cute display right?)


AND these super cool Layered Blossoms... maybe too cute to keep in your scrapbooks... maybe just perfect as jewelry... just sayin'.


New Clear Stamps... we love them.


Be sure to check out the Sassafras Blog for other great new product photos!

Oh... and this is Sarah's son, page designed by Martha B. Created with the mid season release Me Likey... displayed here completely gratuitously because Sarah is editing this article at 2AM and thinks knows her son is adorable.
