Good morning from CHA!  If you were following my tweets yesterday you know that I was not a happy camper.  It seems that all the other die companies (Ellison/Sizzix and the company that bought QuicKutz) have decided they have the right to violate Spellbinders patent on the open dies.  They claim to be getting around it by saying they don’t have the embossing edge  . . . . HELLO! their patent is for open dies period!  I am so disappointed in these other companies and personally . . . I’m shouting BOYCOTT!  I’ll be getting rid of those dies that I do have from them, not purchase from them again and will be using Spellbinders exclusively.  I also heard yesterday that Papertrey is now working on new dies  . . . are they going this route too?  tsk, tsk tsk . . .

BTW, here’s a picture with one of my favorite people . . . Stacey Caron . . . she’s pretty damn remarkable!

I’m running a little late this morning and don’t have the necessary stuff to get the pictures from my phone, but I will try and do that tonight for you.  You MUST see them!

On a lighter note, I have a CHA project being showcased on the Graphic 45 Blog today.  It’s using the new ABC Primer and lost of metal.  You’ll need to check it!

Have a great day and I hope to have a few more tweets and updates today!
