Our Split Coast Stampers Name Tags

Aloha, all!

If you’re enjoying making cards, gifts, and scrapbooks in today’s internet-connected world, you’ll want to check out the website, Split Coast Stampers.  There are galleries, forums, and advertisements of all kinds–even some Stampin’ Up! ads these days!  Lots of resources for designs, tutorials, and templates, too.

My sister-in-law, Deb, who is also my Stampin’ Up! downline, and I are going to the Stampin’ Up! convention next week.  And one of our planned activities is the Split Coast Stampers Dinner the night before the convention starts.  This year there is a "standard" Split Coast Stampers (or SCSers, as we call ourselves) name tag.  What we’ve all done is to make our own name tags using the materials that we choose, but keeping the whole idea intact.

Today the count-down begins for me.  One week and I’ll be on a red-eye flight toSalt Lake City–and to the craziness that you might imagine will happen with thousands of stampers in one place!  Believe me, I will NOT be at the doors of the convention center when they open on any given day.  At my age, I’d be trampled!!

Oh–and the names on the name tags. They are our SCS "names."  Mine is my original stamping name from years ago (and you can still find me by e-mailing robin@robinstamps.com, believe it or not!).  Deb’s derives from my niece’s screen names in various places.  Joey’s a horse–and a gorgeous one at that!

The three colors are all 2009 In Colors:  Rich Razzleberry is the background; the SCS lettering is on Bermuda Bay card stock punched with the Scallop Oval Punch; and our names are printed on Crushed Curry.  It’s all tied together with some Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon.

And the "marks" on the background paper–are in the paper.  It’s one of the "Naturals" papers from Stampin’ Up!  I thought I’d grabbed some Whisper White cardstock for the photo, then wondered what all the "dust" was about.  I kind of like it!
