One of the most prevalent--and FUN--
trends from the
CHA Winter show was the
circus theme. Elephants, tents, trains, targets, clowns, spinners, award ribbons, and mustaches called out to grab my attention as though I were really at the circus as I walked down the aisles and aisles of booths. My absolute favie of them all is this one. Step right up, friends--
Fun House from
GCD Studios is taking the center ring! Check it:
Can you hear the calliope? Smell the popcorn? See the dazzling costumes, the trapeze overhead, and the Ring Master with his handle-bar mustache himself? I'm right there with you, friends and it is
quite a show.
Leave me a comment
by midnight EST on Sunday, March 6 saying what you like most about this line and why and I'll draw two luckies to win it!
Fun is in da house,

Oh the colors are awesome! Those designs are great!
OH WOW!! I LOVE the soft beautiful colors combined with those cheery happy patterns and images!!
Thanks for the chance,

I love that this is so circus-y, yet the colors aren't too over-the-(big)-top -- very versatile!
I love the vintage illustrations so much! Really true to the circus theme :)
AMAZING line, I love it all, the mustaches the ferris wheels, those mini flags, love the colours they have used, the designs on the papers, it is all amazing!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Yep I can hear the calliope and smell yummy popcorn! I love the fun chipboard, mustaches, and ribbon spool of this set. Softer muted colors make it shabby chic with the vintage elegance. Gotta have it! :-). Amy
I love the colours of this collection, they're fun but not overly bright. My favourite piece is the mini flag kit, it's a great idea for titles on a page.
This collection makes me want to run as fast as I can to the nearest circus just to get photos to go with the papers! I can't tell you enough how much I heart this collection! My fave is the flags! Looks like something I could get addicted to using on everything (like banners!).
I love the more subdued colors and the patterns are just so vintagy! These would be fun to play with !
I just love the playful nature of this line. Adorable!
I love the muted colors. What a great collection.
Love all these fun papers and extras! The colors are awesome!
these patterns are just FUN! I love the chipboard wheels and the mustache rubons. Not quite sure where I would use mustaches, but it would be fun to find out!
gotta love it all...especially those fun rub ons!
I love all the bright cheerful colors. That ferris wheel is pretty fantastic too. :)
There's nothing I DON'T like about this line- fun, colorful, whimsical... love it all!
I love the soft, yet fun, colors of this line.
Love the fun paper designs and the happy colors!
This is VERY cool! I love the great colors (non-circusy, in my opinion) and all of those fun elephants. My daughter went to see our high school's Masquers production of Barnum this weekend, so this is SO timely!
This is one of the more versaitle circus themed collections that I have seen. The B sides of these papers are fabulous and can be used for a variety of pages. I LOVE the moustaches! Super fun collection!
I love the design on the Shooting Gallery sheet of paper and the mustache on a stick is hilarious! Think I'll go rustle up a candy apple and some popcorn and get crafting...
Those mustaches are SO fun! What a great idea for scrapbook pages or a dad's card. Really great!
Hey Cath, would you believe I've never been to a circus?! Regardless, this line is fantastic. I have to say that the colors are my favorite, because they are a bit more subtle for what I would expect from something circusy, haha.
Vintage colors,great images and designs all together in the big top. Just love it.ticket
I love the patterns on most of the papers and the chipboard wheels!
I love the little stickers and flags best, they are so cute. I can think of lots of ways to use them with my two little " Monkeys " !!
I love the colors--not too bright. I just did a circus card with another company's paper, and I had to tone down the colors by lightly sponging on some ink. This collection has just the right balance. I love incorporating tickets into my designs,so I really like the Come One Come All paper.
I really love the mustaches!! Great line with lots of fun!
It brings out "the kid" in me! The memories of cotton candy, the thrilling rides, the ponies, the elephants.....it just makes me smile!
Very cute line, I am loving all the papers.
I have to admit . . . I'm not a big fan of all of the circus items that are coming out, but what I do love is that it's not limited to circus . . . I love the colors of the papers and the b sides are fantastic!! I am crazy about the moustaches!!
Very original, I'd love to try these papers out!

I love the 3 Ring Circus patchwork look! :)
Love this line, love the funness, the colors and the images!
The motifs are vintage circus makes me feel like in a tent under the big top complete with rubber nose. Memories of childhood in England. Endless creations abound with this line.
I love the softness of the colors and the feel of the design. A beautiful line.
ok that is so much fun, I would love to play with that paper!
I love the stickers. They look so cute.
The mustaches are really funny and whimsical. I just took my daughter to the circus last week end.We had to buy some cotton candy while we were there.Sticky by so good!
I love that they are both whimsical and realistic, but not "in-your-face" with over-the-top, too bright colors. Wonderful!
super cute designs! i love the patterns and all the add ons! I love that its more grown up! thanxs for the chance!
Okay, I am actually terrified of the circus. I don't know why, but it's been that way since childhood. Maybe it's the clowns? BUT, after seeing this collection, I may be cured! How absolute darling and I LOVE the colors! Thanks for curing me, Cath!
That ribbon spool is just the cutest thing ever, along with the flags. So much fun!
I just love the theme, "Circus" reminds me of when I was younger and the patterned paper is awesome...Dawn RI

OH my word, this is the CUTEST collection! would love to make some 12x12 pages and mini albums out of it. DARLING.
I love the stamps and those adorable mustaches!!
I'm really happy that they have a smaller pad of paper for those of us who are cardmakers! :) LOVE the trims & the rub-ons!
Love all the designs especially the vintage feel!
Love the papers. Beautiful designs, love the colors.
My favorite things are the mini flag kits, the vintage circus stickers/chipboard & of course the mustaches. Too cute!
I love all the papers and that cute flag kit! So much fun!
For some reason... I adore the mustaches! :)
Anne
Oh I love that target paper....both sides of it! So much you can do with that.
Love this line! For me, the softer colors are unexpected and absolutely fabulous! I have a few photos of my son, Matthew, with half a plastic Easter egg on his face where it looks like he has a clown nose. I've been waiting for just the right papers to scrap those with...I think I just found them! :-D
I like that the colors are muted. They still have all the joy and exuberance of a carnival without being so loud. This would be really fun to work with!
Oh, doesn't this collection look fun!!! LOL
Oh my, I love the colors and the softnees of this collection.
Oooohhhh ... love it, love it -- {heart} it a lot. The stickers and embellies are wonderful -- great banners and chipboard pieces too :)
The ribbon spool looks divine! What a great, colorful and hip collection!
Oh my goodness!! I LOVE this line!! Those rub ons and the shooting gallery paper....AH-mazing!! Love it all though!!
It is a beautifully done collection. I love that they have muted the colours from the brightness that a circus actually is. They will make the line much easier to use.
I love this line! The mustaches are to die for! Love the funness (not sure that is a word), LOL! But We just went to a birthday party and it was help at a kiddie park that makes you feel like you go back in time to a more simple time when the rides were fun and not soo scarry! I would love to own this line to scraapbook those pics. Maybe make a mini album with it. Thanks.

What's neat about this line is that it's not just circus, but VINTAGE circus! My favorites are the papers that have the pictures of the animals, circus tents, clowns, etc. You almost feel like you could walk right into the old fashioned circus tent and see the circus as it was! And the ribbon spool is fun, too.
Ummmm....everything? I love the circus trend!!!!!!
OMG - beautiful, lovely, amazing! Reminds me of one of my favorite books (soon to be a movie), "Water for Elephants". Thanks!
What's not to love - this is one fun line ;) And those moustaches crack me up!!! Thanks for the chance to win
So cute! I love the vintage designs and the soft color palette can go on any card!
How great is this collection? :)
My fav are the mustaches, hands down! Ha ha ha! This collection is great.
love that the colors are happy and bright, but also soft and not overwhelming.
Love that it is just fun! Would be perfect for when we went to 6 Flaggs; especially the Coney Island paper.
Very cool and unique. I love the flag kit.
this is so fun! there have been a lot of circus themed lines coming out this CHA, but this one is my fave! I love the whimsical images and the soft colors.
Adorable colors! I have a new grandson on the way and would love this collection for boy layouts and also vacation layouts...
C'mon! The best part has got to be the Moustache on a Stick! Brilliant!
I love the mustaches and the rubbon spool. Very original line..Tks for the chance to win...
i KNEW you'd make us choose ! Well, I love the ticket paper, which I am sure is in the 8x8 pad, which is what really tickles me pink !
It's a very fun line! Love the font of the letters and the stamps are cute!
Throwing my name into the Top Hat! Love this collection puts a smile on face & makes me thing of summer in Coney Island.
Oh I love the mustaches.... and the elements look like they would be a lot of fun to play with.
the stickers and chipboard are my faves
Great papers!
oh myyy grungy, vintage beauty! these remind me of Water for Elephants!
What an amazingly FUN collection. It does two things immediately: makes me feel like a kid again AND
makes me think of a great book that I just finished reading, "Water for Elephants." Both good things!
Gorgeous papers! I love the colors, and the bright happy feel of this collection!
Oh Cath this is fabulous! I love the vintage feel - Under the BigTop is my favorite. I love the stickers and that mustache on a stick is so hilarious :) Thanks for sharing this great collection!
Love the designs... They are bright and playful!! :)
I love the circus--even did my first ever research report on Barnum and Bailey! These are just too cute.
I love the vintage sensation and the colors... This set is great!
I love the fact that any of the papers can go with eachother since its the carnival look, plus the chipboard wheels can bring it all together too!
Under the Big Top and Coney Island are my favorites! Love those strips and chevrons.
I'm inspired by the chipboard wheels. What intricate designs and colorful combination.
I love all the designs and the colour combos. The embellishments are pretty amazing as well! Margaret K.
How could the circus theme not be fun to play with!
Love the 8x8 pad especially "the shooting gallery"
It's fresh and fun and the muted colors will make it easy to incorporate with photos, luv it!
I love the embellies! This so reminds me of Dad, as he tells about the circus when he was a child growing up in Wisconsin...still a location of the circus.
Love the papers!!! Oh what fun when the circus came to town!!!! It would be fun using these and thinking of those childhood days!!!
I love everything about this collection, but I guess what I notice most is that inspite of being trendy, it looks new, fresh and so much fun! Love it!
I love the vintage look to these papers. The mustaches are great!
This is just what I have been looking for!!! If I don't win this, I'm definitely going to have to buy it all!!! I have a project in mind and I haven't been able to find any paper to go with some great embellishments and clip art I have. Anne, yourmainestamper
I usually gravitate towards bright colors, but I love the softness of the colors in this line--they work better with the fun designs than bright colors would.
:) Rebecca Keppel
Wow! Love the vintage feel and the fact that there are both softer and more saturated colors!
This set is so cute--I'm loving the elephants and ponies and muted colors!
Oh give me that pattern paper, The World's Greatest!! Love those frames already on there! Very cool!
Such a beautiful fun line! I love all the really cool Circus images. Makes me want to to to the Circus :)
I love the circus theme but I also love that it is a circus theme in beautiful soft colours!!! I want this line so bad!
The wheels - oh the wheels! I can see myself designing some round cards and using them as accents even apart from the circus motif, (which I luvluvluv).
Oh my goodness! What a fun line!!! I just love it all!
I love the whole circus theme and the vintage feel this collection leaves. Thanks for sharing!

I like the color combinations in this collection.
the garlands...those look so fun!!!!
Love the vintage circus theme! The colors are so great! I would use this in my daughter's book for sure:)
I love the Come One Come All paper and the chipboard alphabet, though the whole line is adorable!
The old fashioned vibe is my favorite thing about it. But what I really love is the circus theme!
I love the COney Island paper - I could see myself using that for an LO for sure! :)
Just love the circus theme of the papers and embellies!! So unique!

Although not entirely circus-y, I love those lip rub ons!
I love the subtle colors of this collection and those elephant stickers are too cute!!
I ove this line. I think it's the lovely color combo!! It's happy go lucky, bright muted color combo! I love the quirkiness in the rubons with the mustache!
I've got to have those wheels so we can make circus wagons on the pages. This is the cutest circus line I've ever seen. Wooo Hoooooo!
Oh my world! Funhouse - how awesome! The colors and the googiness, love it.
Everything is very cool in this paper line - but the flags are my fav!
I really need to get my hands on the 8x8 pad and those chipboard wheels!
So cute, love the ribbon spool and lots of the papers, the tickets, the bikes, cute stuff!!
The whole thing is a glorious combination of colour, fun elements (the moustaches!) and retro styling but I have to confess the ribbon spool has me weak at the knees!
Great collection! Loving the fun circus trend happening lately!
What a fun collection! I love the colors and design, especially the mustaches. :)
I love that it is so bright and happy. I love the elephants. These would make super fun little kid birthday cards. Could you just see tickets to the cirus inside!
Such a fun, whimsical collection! Love those fun mustache & eyeglasses rub ons. Super cute!!
This line is amazing! I love the vintageness of it - mixed w/ the pretty pastel!

Wow, this is so fun! I love the soft vintage feel!!
Ohhh...I just love this collection! Shooting Gallery and Three Ring Circus is my favorite!
lovin' the rub ons and mustaches--fun!! and cute!
The designs are so whimsical - out of the ordinary. Uber fun!!
I really like the rubons and chipboard wheels, but I also really like that if you don't like one side of the page, you will very likely like the 2nd side - sometimes you can pick and choose which sheets you like, but there's something to like about all of them.
I love the whimsy of the whole collection. Reminds me of days gone by having fun at the local carnivals as a kid. I like the rub-ons - so fun! :D
I love the nostalgic feel of this line. It reminds me of going to the circus with my daddy when I was little.....
I'm crazy about circuses and this has to be my fav collection with it's soft pastel colours.
The mustache on a stick and the disguise rubons are a hoot! What a fun line!
This is just so fun and whimsical! Love the bullseye and the fun circus images!
i love the fun looking pictures & colors :)
I love the Assorted Garland and the 8" collection pad. I can see some amazing masculine cards using this collection. Especially for the elderly home bound or in nursing homes from our church. I think it would bring back great memories for them. I send out cards once a month to them and want to use this collectionfor them.
I love the colors--not overwhelming--just right! The shooting gallery & chipboard wheels are my favorites. Thanks for a chance to win!
I love gcd and I love circus! What could be better? :) I really like the way they used the soft colors for this line instead of super bright ones:)
I love that it just looks like so much fun...from the colors to the mustaches!
I really love the "Shooting Gallery" paper and the "Coney Island" paper. I really would like to get my hands on some of the mini flags.
I love the muted fun colors & prints, shooting stars is my favorite....love it!
Those rub ons are so cute!!

The mustache on a stick has won my heart. It's so precious.

I love the paper, especially Under the Big Top and Candy Apple. Still, as much as I love the paper, I think the rub-ons are my favorite; with 3 boys I have lots of pictures they would make super fun!

Beautiful yet fun designs! Love the muted colors too!
Fun, fun, fun!!! Love the soft vintage look to the oranges,pinks and blues! I want the chipboard wheels AND that ribbon spool...what about that?
