My dear friend Jami tagged me!  I was told to go to my digital photo files and pick out the 6th photo in the 6th folder.  This “task” would definitely vary as to which computer I am on….. I am currently on my MAC and my 6th Folder is named “2006 - MKE”.  How appropriate for this blogpost since it was with fellow SCSers.  This was the 6th picture: Pine holding Sophia (Bethie’s baby who was passed around like a sweet doll).  Hi Lana and Robin!

This trip was one of the best trips ever!!!!!  I was fortunate enough to travel to Milwaukee for the Stampin’ Up Regionals, even though a few of us never actually made it to the regionals.  Travel was insane, since there were so many storms throughout the country.  And don’t ask 2 California girls to travel to -14 degree weather.  LOL!  But, it was a ll worth it!  I would not change this experience for anything!

Here are some fun pix from the trip:

 Look how much Prinny got to eat.  Bet that Chicken Marsala was good!

I just love getting together with the girls from Stamp Night.  We had some new girls, so I thought I would stick with a simpler, elegant card.  I just love this set called Whispy Blooms from Our Craft Lounge.  The Copics actually match the paper pretty closely, but I couldn’t capture it in the picture.  I would take a better picture in the “daylight”….. but I have two issue.

1. In “sunny”California, it is very very cloudy! :(  I think it might rain later.
2. If I wait to take a picture later, I’ll never get that picture taken. And when I do, it will take me forever actually download and get a blog post ready.  LOL!

Anyway, I whipped out the Birds and Swirls cuttlebug folder on Cryogen White cardstock.  That gets a new stamper EVERY time! :)  Easy, pretty embossing on such pretty shiney paper!  And they got to color, too!

Hopefully there is sun tomorrow so that I can take pictures of the other projects we created!

Till next time……

First off….. when I said that I wanted to start blogging more often, I guess I didn’t really think about the whole “stamping more often” part!  LOL!  I guess you gotta have something to blog about.  Then, to top it all off, I lost the charger to my camera.  ARGH!  So, I’m using my older camera that just has the hardest time focusing…..

This is a card that we made from my last stamp night.  Have I told you lately how much I loooooooooooove Imaginisce? They come up with the cutest lines.  This line (Twitterpated) is no exception. The images are SOOOOOOO cute and the paper us unbelieveable. It has a glossy finish on some spots of the paper.  I couldn’t capture it on camera, but you can kind of see it on the tree.  I also love how the papers coordinate.  The top part is one side of the paper and bottom part is the other side of the paper.  The ric-rac is something I purchased from StarLitStudio.

I’m working on stuff for my next stamp night on Monday.  Hopefully I’ll remember to take pictures so that I can share them!

till next time…..
