Petaloo

What's going on at the CHA Show?

Geez ... it 's been such a busy show we have not had a chance to post any pictures until now!

The booth is finally finished and ready to go...lots of white carpet, black frames filled wth new spring Petaloo flowers and tables ready for students to learn the painting and stamping techniques with our new "Color Me Crazy" chipboard and flowers!  

(We are gonna need lots of Resolve carpet cleaner for this bright, white carpet!!) 

First day of the show and ready to go...

from left: Eva Dobilas, Noemi, Cheryl, and Kim

How cute is Alice Carman doing Make N' Take cards with Petaloo flowers?

It's hard to choose which color card to make with Alice...

You will want to stop a few minutes to learn a technique or two from Eva Dobilas. who is teaching customers how to stamp and color our new "Color Me Crazy" chipboard and flowers!!

Jill Walker educates customers on how to paint the "Color Me Crazy" flowers with Luminarte! 

One of our devoted sales reps, Howard Block...  not only is he a fantastic rep, he can reccomend the BEST restuarant in town!!

Time to relax a few minutes with some of our Canadian friends, the purchasing team from "Scrapbook Eh!" in Canada!!

 

Our feet are so tired but we are having so much fun!  Thanks to everyone for allowing us to take these cute pictures!

See you again tomorrow!

Preparing for the CHA show...

Well, it's the first day of "set up" at the Anaheim CHA show!  The exhibitors are in all different stages of preparing their booths and displaying the exciting new products to introduce to all of you...

Some of us are literally BUILDING their booths, while others are in the process of displaying product and setting up the "Demo's" (demonstrations of new products & techniques) that are all over the show!!

What is the Petaloo Team doing at CHA???

Noemi (on the left) and Kim (on the right) are working on the new catalogs, AND...

We are eating lunch from Subway (from left:  Kim, Mario, Noemi, Cheryl, Jeff plus Ali taking the photo), AND we are...

Eating dessert (Cheryl serving chocolate after lunch)

(Is that Kim in the backround asking for the first piece of Hershey's chocolate?)

(Cheryl and Jeff working on display)

But the best part of "set up" is to see our flowers go from an "idea" to an actual product in a package!   It is so exciting to see our embellishments and flowers displayed in the frames & the designs from our talented Design team come together so beautifully!!

We hope that you will have a chance to come to the show...if not, we will keep posting pictures and giving you the "inside scoop" from the Petaloo booth!!

Stay excited...there is a lot more to come in the next few days!

Big Hugs,

your Friends at Petaloo

The Smell Of Spring

Until then...we have a post from DT member Irene from Malaysia.  Enjoy...

Are you all ready for a little Spring? Today, I would like to share a layout which is fully inspired by the photograph on it. This is a photograph of my furkid, Hiro, enjoying smelling all the fresh blooms in the garden. The yummy Sienna Darjeeling flowers by Petaloo are perfect to enhance the fresh atmosphere which I'm trying to create for this layout.

Here are some close-ups on it.

The fresh citrus colors with the combination of various Petaloo flowers are amazing and sets the right effect for the layout!

Here is the list of Petaloo products which I've used on this layout.
