I'm already excited!!! I've been thinking about this, and maybe each of us should bring a little project--with enough supplies for everyone--like a make and take. That would give us each 7 or 8 different techniques to go home with. What does everyone else think???

ccstampin12
04-27-2010, 02:08 PM
I doubt I have any techniques, but I guess I could bring a shoebox project for everyone. Hmmmmm.....have to think about that one!!!

Has anyone begun to pack yet ? Joanie---when I say technique, I don't mean anything fancy--maybe I should have said shoebox project. Anything is fine==I have to really think and come up with a few things too. Lesa, what do you think??

At each of our monthly stampclubs someone does a demo. I'll bring the one I did,--its just a folding technique for the front of the card. Maybe one or 2 other card folds others have done. Don't get excited---nothing unbelieveable!!! :D

I've been away for a couple of days and just saw this... Oh cindi, how I wish I could join you for crafting and cocktails... But I know you'll have one for me. I know you guys will have a great time. Can't wait to hear all about it. While you're gone, I'll hold the fort and have a cocktail (or two) for you.

Hi Ladies...I spoke to Patty about this a little bit ago and just found out that my DD's recital is the weekend after ..and I am hoping I can go. I really want to meet you ladies...I think that is the main reason I want to go! So...I don't think I will be spending the night...It is probably about a 2 hr drive for me...I'll have to keep up to date on everything. Sounds like lots of fun!

So, let me get this all straight.
We, who will be at the hotel on Friday night, will each bring a quick project for all.
We will include all the supplies needed...paper, stamps, ribbon, etc.
*Now, my question is this....can we all bring our own ink and coloring medium for our own use?
That works best for me...that way, if you prefer brush markers, you'll have your own ink that works with that medium best.
Gals with Copics will bring their ink and markers too.
What do you all think?
Joanie

Lori
05-04-2010, 08:43 AM
Wish I could come for the whole weekend!

Patty
05-04-2010, 08:56 AM
I agree Joanie--that should make everything a lot less confusing. Plus, I think we should each bring whatever we would bring to a stamp class, i.e. paper cutter, bone folder, scissors, etc.

ccstampin12

Got my tickets printed out, I'm bringing a stamping friend. You know, you meet them in the strangest places! I met Jaymie when she bought a second home in Vermont. She fell and broke her ankle, and called 911. I was working an exta shift (probably wanted to buy some stamping thing). About half way to the hospital, I mention something about ink, and she lights up, she's a stamper! I say it was meant to be!

Hi Gals! Long time no see. I am excited about the convention and hanging with some Shackies! Are we doing the shoebox Friday night or Saturday or both? I know Joanie and I are staying both nights. What time? Is everyone staying at the same hotel? I am creating a card for my project. Simple. Nothing fancy. Just like me! hehehe. Oh and Patty, I will be dressed for comfort and shopping and stamping! I think I will make 10-12 kits and if there is extra some can do more than one. Inky Hugs!!!

Ok...I have planned my shoebox project for those of us meeting up on Friday night for some crafty goodness!
I am feeling kind of overwhelmed, as I do get, when I have LOADS of things to do by a certain time.
I'll be fine now, about this 'assignment'...just have to cut some paper, etc.
Not telling what it is, but you'll see that it's quite different, I'm guessing!

Mrs. Fence
05-16-2010, 07:00 AM
Can someone tell me what to put together? I've never done or seen a shoebox project. Is it something we will all do together while we are there? How many should I make? I'm trying to get a few projects off my to-do list also. I did a swap last night, 3 to go!

ccstampin12
05-16-2010, 08:33 AM
Tracey,
What I did was to make a sample.
Then I cut paper for all of us and I even scored it as that would be tricky to show everyone.
I included the stamp I used and a roll of ribbon.
I put all of it into a plastic shoebox.
You can just make little kits in baggies too.
Whatever you want.
You can design a card or ATC for us to make. (or whatever comes to mind)
Then, cut the paper for each element, or layer.
If you use a punch, put that into the shoebox.
We'll all be bringing our own inks and coloring medium so you don't have to bother with any of that.
I did write the Copics colors I used on my sample, but anything will work for my project, I assume.
I think I made the project for around 10 even though there won't be that many.
Hope this helps!
Joanie

Patty
05-16-2010, 10:08 AM
Wow--this thread is 7 pages long already--well, here's my 2cents. The project I'm doing is a reg size card with a flower on the front that is made up of smaller pieces of folded paper. I'm bringing the paper/cs, punch, and directions for about 10 people. I have a couple of other ideas, and I have envelope templates that might be fun to use so I'll bring those too. I think it's called a shoebox project cuz that's about the size of everything--but you can put it in anything you want. Now, for who else is coming...I think Seaside Rose aka Cathy, and Babriegirl are coming also. I think that not everyone will make every project so 10ish should be fine. I'm bringing my papercutter, bone folder, some glues, tapes, maybe some bellies, scissors, my wipes a couple of inkpads, definitely some glitter. It's really not a portable hobby, is it?

Patty
05-16-2010, 10:10 AM
I was also thinking---if anyone has something that they have been having trouble getting to come out right, maybe they should bring it. I know I have one stamp that I have had for about 10 years and I was never once able to get it right. Maybe someone there will know more about it. I'm already wishing we would have more time. We should do this again when there is no convention--just time for us to be together.

I agree! Next time we should plan a get together for us to just stamp and hang out and have fun! Thanks for the help, everyone, on what to bring. I'm really getting excited!!!

I was thinking the same thing this afternoon!
I use pages from a doodle pad and I also have a craft mat. I know SU! has a great tablet for working on, but I never bought one...maybe they aren't for sale.?
We can each bring whatever works best for us, I guess!

I just love being able to see the stuff in person instead of on a screen before buying! We are staying Friday and Saturday night. I've been on a NO buying spree so I can get lots of stuff. DH could not believe that I passed up a stop at AC Moore in Augusta last weekend when we went to Levant. LOL!

:)

OK, here's what I'm doing for shoebox projects--both very simple: First I have a card called a Dalhia (sp?) card. It's made by folding 8 small punched circles of double sided cardstock and making a flower on the front of the card. Some of you may have already made this. I'm bringing paper, punch and sticky dots to adhere the "petals".

The second project is just my envelope templates and some calendar pages and ds paper to make some different sizes. I'm also bringing a variety of templates and something to trace/copy them onto in case anyone wants to have them without buying them. ;)

Hey Lesa--I'm looking forward to seeing you. I'm coming up Friday, probably late afternoon unless everyone is getting there earlier. Jeans and sneaks for me. I'm travelling light as far as clothes go--nothing fancy. I'll probably go straight to the hotel first--get that finalized--then ready to get inky!!

Maybe we should pick a color and wear that color tops on Friday so we'll know who's who. Not all of us have already met the others.

How about Pink or White or Black?????

Oooh, you're doing good on your list. I still haven't decided on what I'm going to be making when I stamp with Mom. For sure the rolling crate is perfect. The first time I went I ended up making too many trips to the car because stuff got awkward and/or heavy. By tomorrow afternoon I should have my list done..........

Patty

Good job on the list, Joanie--I'm also bringing a couple of acrylic blocks and glue sticks in case I buy an unmounted and want to use it right away.

Actually, Lori, rubber stamps don't take up much space. You should be fine, and if you're not, you can go out to your car, empty the bag and go in for more!!!!

One more thing for this weekend---I am planning to bring my box of images--so that if anyone wants any, they can take what they want. I'll probably never be able to use them all, and I hate to just discard them....so I'm gonna share!!!

OK, so I made some ATC's to trade and or just give away. (Only 35. I couldn't get into 100's). The only catch is that I couldn't wrap my head around "Strawberry Fields Forever". I have never "traded" ATC's in fact this is only my second attempt at the little cuties. I am really happy with how they turned out. DH says they are really nice but now 35 people that I hand them to will know that I can't ever seem to follow the rules! ROTFL! Do you think the ATC police will beat me up for it? I'm going on the assumption that if I am not entering them in the contest for Rubber Bucks that it's OK? Jeesh, I really should try following the rules for once......

Patty
05-31-2010, 11:32 AM
I don't know about the contest, but I'd say when you create something, there is no wrong. If you've never been to this conventin before, you might not know that some people who go will bring things to trade with other stampers, so you're "right on". Since some of us will be there, we should try to meet. When do you plan to be there?

I've actually been a few times to this show but don't usually make anything to bring. I'm going down Friday afternoon. Picking up Mom in Keene area on my way and heading down. We will do some stampy stuff at the hotel Friday and then go to the show on Sat. We are staying down there Sat night too. Then probably go back to show Sunday before heading home. Usually Sunday is much more mellow than Sat and easier to do the make and takes and stuff. We are staying at that motel right there by the exit from 91. It would be fun to meet to say hello.

We're....I'm guessing here....in Comfort Inn...is that right Cindi, Tracey and Patty?

I'm up near Conway, NH. Up in the boonies. LOL but that's the way I like it. I lived in Brattleboro. I'm amazed and thrilled at how close to home some of you are. I have family in Guilford VT, and Levant Me. I lived in Hermon Me right on Hermon Pond for about 5 years. Small world here!
I'm staying at the Quality Inn right there by 91. Are you all going down on Friday?

I'm Cathy from Newburyport MA, traveling out early Friday afternoon and staying through Sunday (sharing a room with Patty).

If anyone traveling through MA or from eastern MA wants to hitch a ride, you can leave your car at my house. DS is going to be loading me and my gear by about 12:30 but there is plenty of room if anyone wants to save on gas and driving. ;) We are returning Sunday but have not set a firm return time yet...

I'm bringing things to share and demo with our group (some craft projects), but I had not planned to bring anything to trade otherwise, although I probably could put together an asst. of ATC's. I've never been to one of these and don't really know what to expect either. ;)

If you put in the street address of the rubber stamp show - 1305 memorial ave, west springfield,ma


There is a michaels located at: 1081 Riverdale st, West Springfield,ma

Not sure if that is near the stamp show.

Yup.....Not too far from the highway (when headed towards fairgrounds by way of Riverdale St.)on the left in a plaza. Trying to remember just how far from the highway. I know it's not very far.....We don't have Michaels up here so it's always fun to stop in.
ETA On the right if you are coming from the fairgrounds. Thought I should add because I don't know where your hotel is.

Are you all going out for dinner on Friday somewhere? It would be fun to meet for some food and maybe a cocktail would be nice. Do you plan on that or just sorta go when the mood strikes for food? We don't normally know anyone else so we usually just wing it. Was just curious what you all were up to.

ccstampin12

I know that Lesa, Patty and I will be at our hotel by early afternoon.

You can call me to see what will be decided about dinner....for sure we'll eat 'Somewhere!'
Not sure when Cindi and Tracey will arrive.

Must be a forever ride from Bangor. Yikes. It takes me about 3 1/2 hours to get there (Bangor) from my house. It's going to take me about 3 1/2 hrs to get down there. Luckily I'm leaving early enough to take a break at Moms for lunch and maybe a quick stop at M's in Keene. Yup, by dinner time I'll be ready for a brew!
