SPLIT COAST CONVENTION - HERE WE COME !!

Finally, a convention I can afford to go to.  It won't get any closer than this....Tomorrow 5 of us girls ( ok - tonight...we're starting early) are meeting up and staying in Syracuse to get ready for a stamping day.  One of the requirments was to make your own name tag...so here it is....  

what do ya think?  Its country looking right?  Thats my style.  Leave me a comment to tell me what you think.

Here are 2 more name tags from the girls...the other 2 I'll have to get tonight when I meet up with them....

This is Nikki's (aka: KAREN).  She doesn't think its all that grand but I LOVE IT!!  Visit her SCS gallery.  She has some pretty nice cards posted there.  Next is Lorraine's tag...aka: LEMON LORRAINE.....

ok...don't be jealous girls....I was playing around in PSE 6 and discovered the cookie cutter tool. So thats why LEMON's name tag is all decked out in style... Im stilling learning the simple things...but loving the software.  I get so tickled over the little things... *smile*.  OK - did I mention how your suppose to keep it attached to your shirt?  Well I was wondering the same...so being creative as I like to think I am...this is what I came up with...

 I used my creative mind (yeah right) and sewed a saftey pin to a piece of scrap paper and then on the other side I used some huge dimensionals with some major thicknessDid I mention how I hand sewn the stitching...and then almost to the end...the needle broke...go figure...

Hope you enjoyed my blabbing....stay tune...I'll post the other 2 pics when I get them.....Don't forget to leave me a comment to tell me what you think about them....

 5-23-10 UPDATE:  AS PROMISED...here are the other 2 name tags..
  

How cute are these?  Just loving them!  There were some really creative name tags.  Lots of ideas for next time.  I couldn't use the 'cookie cutter' tool in PSE 6 on Kelly's because of the way I snapped the picture...but for Amy's...her's was easy becuase it was square.  The shape almost matches her badge..
