Baby Showers Bring Baby Dalia

Hello, hello, hello!!! I am back in the crafting saddle again. I have been invited to a baby shower this weekend. We know that she is having a girl and I could not be more thrilled for her. Of course, I could not give this special mommy to be just any card so I clicked on my computer and went to Splitcoast to look for some ideas. Once I decided that I wanted to use my Wash Day jumbo wheel from Stampin’ Up, finding inspiration was no problem. I found several cards that really caught my eye but the card that Karakae posted took the cake for me. I could not improve on such a great idea so I just CASED it. Isn’t it true what they say, that imitation is the best form of flattery. Thanks for the great idea. I hope my friend likes it as much as I had fun making it.

For this idea I used all Stampin’ Up products. Wash Day jumbo wheel, words from Great Friend, Scallop oval and edge punches, Large Oval punch, Pixie Pink and Certainly Celery CS, Bitty Backgrounds on one of the sleepers, and watercolored in the clothes on the line. Ohhh and the background is Cuddlebug’s Swiss Dots embossing folder.

Thanks for stopping by. See you again real soon.

Splitcoast So Cal Mania V

Well we made it back home from this past weekend's Splitcoast SoCal Mania V. It was my first Splitcoast get together and OMG was it fun. One stamper hit it on the head when she said this was all of the best parts of Stampin Up convention. We were able to swap, stamp, do make-n-takes, eat, and visit with friends. Who could ask for more? My cousin Lisa and I went together, actually this was my birthday present to her. We were able to spend the weekend doing something we both enjoy stamp and visit with friends. She did great at her first ever stamping event. The gallery for this event is starting to be uploaded to so check on it to see everyone's pic's of the event (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=13593)




Some of the fabulous ladies I bumped into were Daisy and Tandra. The three of us are members of the Utah Divas International on-line group. You can check out this group's blog at http://utahdivasinternational.blogspot.com/. Daisy and I have been friends for some years now. Her company, Eclectic Paperie (http://eclecticpaperie.blogspot.com/ ) was one of the major sponsors of this event. If you haven't checked out her web store, you don't know what you are missing (and let her know I sent you over). I was excited to get to see Daisy again.


I was so excited to meet Taylor from Taylored Expressions (http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/) Wow is she tall in person. She provided one of our Make-n-Takes and now I have to have the Sushi stamp set (http://www.eclecticpaperie.com/sushi.html)that is an exclusive set to Eclectic Paperie. Taylor is so adorable, thanks for the great project.

Well as you can see we had an AMAZING time. I had so much fun meeting ladies who's blogs I visit like Rochelle http://impressionsbyrochelle.blogspot.com/ I have been a fan of her's since I discovered the world of blogs. I can't wait for next year's get together.

Thanks for visiting.
