Birthday penguin

Today was the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo in Puyallup, WA. This expo or convention has always been pretty small since it started; this year was in a different building but the same amount of vendors. Among the vendors were Elizabeth Crafts, Scrap-Mart/Justrite Papercraft, Krazy Kreations, Craft Fancy (new vendor for us), Its cheaper than therapy, Art Impressions, Tessler, Queen & Co., Eyelet Outlet & Brads, Scrap That!, Craft Fantastic, Shoe string (new to us), Tall Mouse-Cre8tive Artz, Paper Wizard, Simply Stitched, Epiphany Crafts, Hot off the Press, Kiwi Lane, Sa Crafters (new to us), Pinecone Press, Scrapping 4 Less, Cutter Pillar (new to us) & Best Craft Organizer.

A lot of these booths are pretty much 100% scrapbook so we didn't spend more than 2 seconds in the booths :0) Some were just embellishments and mostly things we/I don't use so again maybe a quick run through their booth and on to the next one. Regardless of how small the show was and that there was too much scrapbooking I ended up with enough things that I didn't need but wanted, of course, LOL yes I am one of those that know the difference between want and need so all I bought was a totally want.

I also got to meet two ladies one belongs to one of my Yahoo groups and the other her friend the reason she was there :0) both nice ladies. At the beginning, we ran into each other a few times and then never saw them again so either we were going the wrong side or they left early...well we left by 2 and to me that was early :0) but after going around a couple times around we had seen everything :0) and had bought almost all we wanted, yes I forgot something so it was almost :0) we didn't run into a lot of people as usual so not a lot of visiting :0(

And now, for the reason you are here, the sharing of a card.

This is another card for the gift set and donation box. The background is a Cuttlebug folder, penguin is Memory Box colored with Copic Markers, the confetti is a Rubber Stampede/Posh Impressions stamp colored with baby wipe technique
