The combination of Chatterbox with our 7gypsies scrapbooking business places us amongst the leaders within the multi-billion dollar scrapbooking category. We are looking forward to being able to offer an incredible array of new products for both brands at CHA Winter 2008.”
Melody Ross, co-founder of Chatterbox, said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with another leading brand in scrapbooking where we can continue to design beautiful and innovative products to help people all over the world capture their family history and life’s greatest moments; it’s what we love about this industry.”
Both the Chatterbox and 7gypsies brands will be headquartered in City of Commerce, California.
