Portland Baby!!

Wow..... I can't even put into words how much fun I had in Portland this weekend hanging out with friends. Saying that I feel blessed to have these amazing women in my life doesn't even cover it. I was asked and was honored to present a workshop wow for Stampin'Up! Regionals in Portland. Okay... so nervous doesn't even cover that. LOL. I was BEYOND nervous. What can I say.... I get by with a little help from my friends. I couldn't see a thing on stage, but I could hear my friends...... they even held up pink letters that spelled out CAMILICIOUS..... LOL. I had fans.... snort! They truly made me feel like a rock star..... it was my five minutes of fame and it was SCARY!

Jess (newtnewt on SCS) and Lisa (onestampinmama on SCS) spent hours hauling all of us around to and from the airport and all over Portland. From the minute I saw all of them at the airport, until the minute we had to say goodbye, I felt the love and friendship we all share. It's amazing... for lack of of a bigger, more bomalicious word.

I love Stampin'Up! and I love my fellow demonstrators. I want to say a big... no, HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello to me, and for the nice pats on the back about my presentation (even though it was SO obvious that I was terrified). If you ever have the chance to make it to a SU! event, it will be a guaranteed, positive, loving, just THE best time ever!! Shelli and her straff are just AWESBOMB! I just wanted to hug them all!!

There are tons more photos on SCS if you want to see the display boards and awesome projects that were presented. OMG... I got to finally meet Beate, Lori Craig and Sharon!! That was pretty darn exciting!

I could ramble all day, but it's back to real life. Nothing like a weekend with the girls and Stampin'Up!..... not much can top that baby! Well.... the hugs from my family in the airport when I arrived home were maybe just a bit above that!!

Thanks for making me feel like a bomb girls......

Lizzie Anne Tooth Fairy Tin

Okay... so I know that today is World Card Making Day, but you know when you get something in your head and you just can't shake it? Well, from the first time I spied this cute fairy from Lizzie Anne Designs, I've had this idea about a tooth fairy container. My daughter, who is 5 cannot wait to lose a tooth. Every time her brothers lose one, she claims she has a couple that are "ready for the tooth fairy". I hate to disappoint her, but none of the boys lost teeth until they were in first grade. Hey.... at least now we are prepared... right?

This was SO easy, and so much fun to make. The paper is from Chatterbox. It's the premium two sided kind... very sturdy. It's called Garden Swing Stripe. I used Mod Podge to adhere it to the tin. I then used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes all the way around and added Rhinstone brads from SU! for some bling bling. Girls love bling ya know ;). I used my Coluzzle to cut the cirlces for the top. I don't have that big or mega scallop punch, but my friend Beate sent me some a long time ago punched out in whisper white card stock. Her dress is SO soft and beautiful. I colored the bottom portion with my Quickie Glue pen then sprinkled over the top with Pixie Pink Fun Flock. How cool is that? Averie loves that part!! I added a tiny star jewel to her wand and of course added sparkle with the Sakura Glitter pen.

Here is the complete recipe:

Stamps: Fairy (Lizzie Anne Designs)
Paper: Chatterbox, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Palette Noir Black, Stampin'Write Markers, So Saffron, Bashful Blue Classic Ink pads.
Other: Rhinestone Brads, Circle Ice and Fire Square (Stampin'Up!), Crop-a-dile, Word Window Punch, Coluzzle, Quickie Glue Pen, Fun Flock, Sakura Glitter Pen, Ribbon (unknown), Daubers, Stampin' Sponge, Snap Stamps.

If you haven't been over to Lizzie Anne Designs yet today, you better hurry. They are running some AWESBOMB specials today only!! Don't forget to check out their card contest too!!

Have a super weekend..... hope you get a ton of cards made!! Thanks for stopping by!

I had a crazy busy week and another one coming up. I'm SO excited to be heading to Portland on Thursday for Stampin'Up! Regionals. I can't wait to hang out with old friends and meet new ones! I get to FINALLY meet Beate!! I feel like I've known her forever.. she is in for a BIG hug! Oh, so many cool chicks to meet for the first time.... I'm beyond excited.

Have you all heard the buzz over the new stamp co.? Oh yah, baby, it's Hanna Stamps! I'm going to update my blog soon with the other girls on the design team... it rocks, just like Hanna.

I've had my Bind-It-All since, oh, shortly after my friend Bev took hers home with her..... I had to have my own... what a tease she is! LOVE that little machine. This front and back are coasters covered with Designer paper from SU! (got the idea from my friend Val from Cal). The inside is a notepad from the Dollar Tree that I took apart. It is the same color, but has flowers all over it... and lines so that you can make a list. A shopping list..... for stuff you NEED baby! Perfect to fit in your purse. :)
