DeNami Stamps and stuffs ☺♥

Hello friends!
I attended the CHA Supershow in Rosemont, Illinois last July 31 with my MIL and SIL's.  It was my first time to hear about a stamp company called DeNami stamps.  I loved their stamps and was totally swamped by the variety of collections that they had.  Their booth was well organized and the cards that they displayed were awesome!  I liked how they used the stamps in their cards and added sparklets to it.  Very pretty!
It was nice to meet and see Ms. Nami demonstrate how she made cards.  She was so creative!  Thank you for your tips and patience in answering my questions (me being relatively new to this hobby).
I bought a couple of rubber stamps:  Christmas chickie, some vines and scalloped flower and of course, sparklets.  I lahvet!
Here's a photo of my buy-and-take from the DeNami Design Stamp booth.    I can't wait to get more of those stamps and other stuff.
Blessings!

A fun-CHAstic Weekend!

Today, July 31 was a great Saturday. My SIL's (sisters-in-law) and i went to the CHA 2010 convention in Rosemont, Illinois. It was my first time to attend such an event and just like any newbie, i was super excited!

It was overwhelming to see a lot of eye candy. Every stop at an exhibitors booth was exciting... it was similar to opening a gift. So much anticipation of what's in store, no pun intended. The make and take projects were awesome! I was able to make a antique finished wooden decor with vinyl made with the cricut machine, several cards and a bracelet. It was worth more than the $12 convention fee. I was excited to meet Beate Johns of splitcoastampers.com - we added color to a stamped image using copic markers. It was nice to learn how to use new materials such as this. There was a booth on digital scrapbooking by JessicaSprague.com - i have been looking at some cardmakers using digital materials however, it was my first time to actually see and put it in action. I was amazed at how nice the project turned out.

Shopping was fun... stamps and inks, paper, stencils, fine glitter and embossing powder... wow, it hurt my pocket but we saw it coming, hahaha! Thanks to my ever supporting husband.

I am so looking forward to making new projects now that i have been formally inducted to the crafting world - hooray!

So, here is a picture of what i got from the convention: the make-and-takes and the buy-and-take. Pretty awesome. Looking forward to the next activity.

Blessings to you!
