More from the CHA show! The Scrapbook Saloon was a fun place to walk by each day during the show. It was so authentic I imagined a cowboy would come strolling out, tip his hat and say "Howdy Mam!"

Tim Holtz fans crowded around his demos. The display of his products and designs was dramatic displayed on shelves in a way that conveyed a sense of history, nostalgia and treasured items of years past. The vintage feel is solid, not pretty but attractive, rich and dark rather less grunge. The shelves were tall so the whole display enveloped you in a room atmosphere. It was very effective. Ties to the past created anew.
