Blogiversary Give Away #2
February 18th, 2008
Wow! I am overwhelmed and humbled by all of the wonderful comments left on my first Blogiversary Give-Away post. You guys are so sweet! Stay tuned for the winner of that give away to be announced sometime in the next couple of days.
I wanted to share a few more things I really loved at CHA. First my very favorite new paper line was Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie. I was delighted at how many people I talked to said the very same thing – everyone seems to love this paper with the look of cross-stitch.
The first time I stopped by the booth I was approached by a gal who noticed my badge and asked is your name Jami with no “e”? I said “yep” and she said “me too”!!! We had a little bonding moment before talking about Cosmo Cricket when she mentioned that her brother Eric is the designer. (Hi Jami if you’re reading!). The next time I stopped by the booth (to take pictures I failed to take the first time – duh) I got to meet Eric himself and tell him that his paper was my show favorite!
My second favorite paper line was Crate Katlin.
I love the texture of Crate Paper and these colors are so yummy! They just need to come out with a 6×6 pad!
Another product that really impressed me was the soon to be released ribbon trough from Clip It Up. I got to speak with the designer of this product too. I don’t have her name written down (sorry), but she was such a gracious lady. It was a pleasure to talk to her.
You may have seen in the SCS gallery how some people have purchased rain gutters and turned them into holders for ribbon and punches. Well this ribbon trough takes that idea and makes it awesome with lots of wonderful details. There is a bar to hold your spools in if you want to leave them in and just cut off what you need, but the spools still lift out freely when you need them too. There is a place for ribbon scissors at each end of the trough. The trough is exactly 36″ long so you can easily measure out 1 yard of ribbon and it will come with inch markings as well. How cool is that? Plus there is a clip it up bar and hooks at the bottom to hook pieces of ribbon too small for a spool – or for other accesories. The only thing I didn’t care for was that it only comes in black. I asked if they might have a white version and the gal said that it is a durability issue at this point and the white materials they have looked at are not as durable as what they are using in black. The other piece of teriffic news is that will also be coming out with a Clip It Up Mini for those of us who just don’t have room for the current large version.
For more of my write ups on CHA as well as posts from several other fabulous ladies be sure to check out the SCS CHA blog. We are still posting trying to get all caught up over there.
I was very excited to stop by the A Muse booth for two reasons. First my oh-so-fabulous friend Her Royal Rubberness Julie Ebersole was working the booth and second there were samples of the Elzybells Spring release (going on sale tomorrow). Unfortunately they didn’t allow photos of the new line, but they are adorable. And as a huge bonus I got to meet both Linda Carnell and Emily Montenero in the booth. Sweet!
While there talking with Julie a gaggle of my DD/DDA buddies showed up and it was the perfect photo op of us with our Queen!
The back row is Jeanne S, me, Stamps4FuninCA (Tosha), Kittie and the front row is Linda D (seriously – she reallyis that short! Love ya Linda!) JulieHRR, BadSherry (eyes closed – sorry!)
Good times!
Oh my goodness I just went to get the link for Elzybells and I see that the Spring line is now available for purchase. Curt got a new phone – a Tilt – for Valentine’s Day and he told me to pick out some stamps. Those Elzy’s are calling my name!!! I need some from the Friendship release and some from the Spring release!

I am mainly a card maker. Sometime I throw in a mini scrap album or altered item. My passion is stamps. I should use them more instead of browsing all the great blogs out there. Yours is great and I visit often.
February 19th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
#38 – I really like card making – since i am a slow stamper they are the fastest projects for me! Love all your CHA pictures!

I’m #42 if I count correctly. My name is Marilyn Cline and I love making cards with stamps, but they are also a fabulous embellishment in my scrapbooking – no page is complete without some stamping on it!
February 20th, 2008 at 4:24 am
#43- wendy- Its a toss up between cards and altered gifts. I just recently got back into stamping after scrapping for years. funny thing is I have a really hard time adding stamping into my scrapping.
