Welcome to the See you at CHA Blog Hop! One month from today, people from all over the world will gather in Anaheim, CA to see the latest new craft products, meet up with friends, buy new items for their store, take classes, network and also have fun! To celebrate, CHA is hosting a week long blog hop. Please come back every day and see all 60 different designers’ posts on the hop.
To celebrate 75 years of crafting, the CHA Designers have pitched in for this fantasitc giveaway to a lucky winner!
I am especially excited about CHA this year because
I will have a booth at the show!
In case you don’t know me, I am a licensed artist for Sizzix and Clearsnap. For the past two years, I have been travel teaching around the country in my vintage camper Scotty, visiting independent stores, art galleries, retreats and events.
We have had some pretty exciting adventures- for a glimpse of life on the road you can read about my last few trips here: #Paprtrail7 , #Paprtrail6 review and #Paprtrail6 conclusion.
Along the way, I have logged over 25,000 miles, stopped in 38 states, visited 74 stores and taught workshops, demos and make and takes, and also taught at rep shows, CHA trade shows and conferences. Here’s a quick video that gives a snapshot of Paper Trail 3
It has been a blast! In July, I had the amazing experience of driving Scotty on the show floor at the Paper Arts Show in IL.
The Paper Arts Show was fantastic- it went so well, that I am partnering again with the Craft and Hobby Association to celebrate their 75th anniversary!
Scotty and I are so excited to welcome you to the Eileen Hull Paper Trail booth! Make time to stop by and see us in Booth #231. If you forget the number, don’t worry- pretty sure we are the only trailer on the show floor 🙂 Here’s what will be happening:
- Fantastic #cre8time demos and Make and Takes by your your favorite CHA Designers every hour
- Hands on experience of products from my amazing Paper Trail partners
- Stop by for a special treat on Monday for “Snacktime with Scotty” where we’ll be drawing for this…
- HUGE GIVEAWAY worth over $500 retail brought to you by my generous Paper Trail sponsors!
- Bring your cameras- there will be tons of eye candy! My Inspiration Team has been going to town creating samples of my new Sizzix release and…
- Be the first to see the brand new tool I have developed with Sizzix
- Put a smile on a child’s face- make and decorate a crayon box using one of my Sizzix dies to be donated to Operation Christmas Child
- Don’t worry- if you can’t make the show, we will have behind-the-scenes videos and Periscopes for you
- Trailer tour and photo opps
- Instagram contest
Every time you participate in a #cre8time event- attend a demo, do a Make and Take, create a project for our charity sponsor, or enter our Instagram contest, you will get a ticket and be entered to win a giveaway basket worth over $500 full of Paper Trail sponsors’ products!
Right now Scotty is in the shop getting new shocks to prepare for the big trip across the country. I will be leaving my home in Virginia on Dec. 29 in order to get there in time to set up for the show on Jan. 6 in California. Who knows what will happen along the way?
Find out by journeying along with Scotty and I on #paprtrailCHA! Follow me on…

Love following your Paper Trail!
Oh thanks for following Lori! 🙂
Sounds like it is going to be an AMAZING EVENT!!!
I follow you on Facebook and here on your blog, thoroughly enjoying your Paper Trail ADVENTURES 🙂
I forgot to say that I can’t live without my self healing craft mat, it is part of every project I create. I use the cutting side to cut, the grid on the cutting side to align and the reverse side for when I am adhering layers together AND as a sturdy base for my Big Shot when I’m die cutting and embossing too => YES, it is an AWESOME tool!!!
It’s going to be GREAT!!! I’m so excited to be working with you for Operation Christmas Child at the show!!
You must be over the moon to have Scottie on the event floor at CHA – how fabulous is that! I am sure your new range will be a big hit, I hope you have a safe journey and a wonderful time at CHA! Hugs, Anne xx
Oops, forgot to say what my favourite crafty thing is, it would have to be my Big Shot Plus machine so that I can cut out all my amazing dies! xx
How exciting, another road trip and lots more crafting! Looking forward to seeing you and Scotty at the show. Happy travels!
Love the paper trail. Had a wonderful time when you came to our retreat this fall.
Love my big shot.
See you in Anaheim! Safe travels! Excited to see your new tool, samples & visit with you!
How exciting!! I wish you would come to Vermont one of these days!! I would be there even if I had to walk for days to get there!!! Hope to see you soon!!
I can’t live without my Sizzix dies, my two red original die cut machines and my Big Shot!
Eileen Hull I can’t wait to read about your cross country travels to CHA in Scotty. I am glad Scotty is being fitted with new shocks making for a smooth ride with, hopefully, no bumps along the way!
We are so excited to help with this! The Make-It-Take-Its are going to be so much fun!
It was wonderful to meet you back in March in Colo. Springs and hope you come back again soon. I love your ideas and following your papertrail and the adventures of Scotty. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next. Happy Holidays!

CHA is so exciting! Don’t know if I get to go this year, but if I can’t, I will enjoy it vicariously! Make sure you show us the picts of how you got Scotty into the showroom!
I forgot to mention the one craft tool I cannot live without. The one craft tool I cannot live without is my Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife!
So wish I could attend! So many wonderful tools! I need to have adhesives – liquid, runners, dots, etc.
I just got the make-it-3d die from the Sizzix sale. Can’t wait to run it through my Vagabond and see what it can do. Have fun on the road in Scottie. thanks as always for sharing.
I cannot live without my BigShot! Thanks for the chance to win!!!

E X C I T I N G !!! Can’t live without my Colored Pencils!!! TFS!!!
With all the miles on Scotty, you really have left a Paper Trail. (love the pun?)
I wish I could attend this event. Seems like so much fun!
I am proud to say that I have pictures of me with Eileen Hull inside Scotty . . . . I attended a class at Bella Art in Johnston RI . . . and now whenever I hear or see the name “Eileen Hull” I say to myself I know her !!!!!! Thank you Eileen for all your creativity and your dedication to keeping us updated when you are out on the road … come back to New England soon !!!
Hey Annie Lou! I remember you- weren’t you headed to Hawaii on vacation? That was a fun class! I may be back in New England next April 🙂 Stay tuned!
I love Scotty! Hope you have lots of fun at CHA!
Looking forward to seeing you at the show, Eileen!
What a treasure – Scotty!
Can’t wait to see Scotty at CHA. And you too, of course!
Love my big shot and all my sizzix dies. Becoming a follower of yours. Can’t wait to see everything.
I love following your paper trail and was glad to meet you at Bellacon15.
The girls in Sizzix CS are the best. I just wish company execs considered consumer input when making changes, like retiring the STANDARD PLATFORM and redesigning the cutting pads. The Big Shot already takes up much more space than other diecutters, As most papercrafters have limited space the new extended platform makes this situation even worse. The bevelled pads reduce cutting area. The older pads also seemed to last longer. Also, I FINALLY got the Artful Dwellings die, but then found the Mini Openings is not available, I also got one of your dies that required another component die that has also been retired.
Freddy- thanks for your thoughful comments! I am referring them to R & D and think they will be interested to hear. Can you tell me which die it was of mine that required a component that has been retired? We are bring some popular ones back and that would be helpful to know. Thanks!
how fun to have Scotty at CHA – I only wish I was going to be there. It was great meeting you this summer at the SCrapbook Store in Milwaukee and seeing you again at Bella Crafts. Have a wonderful 2016
Well, it doesn’t look like I will be able to make the 2016 CHA trip but I am totally excited (along with my hubby) that 2017 will be in Arizona! (Plans are under way for that trip. 🙂 ) So I guess I will live vicariously through you as you and scotty make your trip cross country for the CHA event. 😉
Wish you could make it Tonya but glad 2017 is in the plans! Looking forward to that! Stay tuned on the trip- just got word how the much Scotty’s repair bill is… bad! He better be worth it!
Oh no Eileen and poor Scotty! When and if your Paper Trail trip takes you to my neck of the woods we will have to meet up!
I can’t live without beautiful papers. I am so bummed I missed you at Scrappy Chic in Livonia. And Scotty, too.
Maybe next time Judi 🙂
I wish I could go…a favorite tool? My Big Shot!
See you at CHA. Can’t wait to see you and Scotty
My favorite crafting tool is space… have you ever tried to create something without it?
I love your blog !! keep up the great work !! Peace Love Happiness always !!
I was going to buy a small camper to make into a craft studio but instead we enclosed a screened porch and it worked out very well. Had to laugh when I saw the picture of the little camper.
My brother and I just got a Scotty…the Sportsman!! Now I want to do a crafting trip!!!
Have fun with your Scotty! They are very efficient storage wise and great for crafting 🙂
