Fellow Fiskateers, I feel that it’s my duty to warn you about some dangerous behavior that you should avoid AT ALL COSTS! You know how they always tell you to never do your grocery shopping while you’re hungry? Well, there is something far worse! Never, ever, go to a scrapbooking convention (CKC Valley Forge) after being away from your scrapbooking stash for five days. You’ll be pining away for every cool thing in sight! For those of you with no willpower whatsoever, please be warned-I’m including pictures. Perhaps you should look away now while you still have the chance, hee hee!
Santa, if you’re reading this, please take notes!
The first thing I drooled over-er, I mean spotted-was this totally cute and adorable portable printer from Canon!
It comes with it’s own little carrying basket, and no, you’re not seeing things- it’s ORANGE AND GREEN!!! How fabulous is that?!?! It’s called the Selphy CP770 . I told the reps that they needed to have a “Bling Your Basket” contest, because that basket is just screaming out for some ”alterations”.
Of course, I couldn’t get out of the Canon booth without drooling over-er, I mean “admiring”- the Pixma Pro 9000, Canon’s wide-format printer. It had me at hello.
I do some digital work for one of the scrapping mags, so this would be great to have. The printouts were fantastic! You can print one 12 x 12 and two 6 x 6 layouts on the same page!
I also oohed and ahhed over this beautiful cabinet from For Keeps Sake.
Note the Fiskars paper trimmer and scissors stashed neatly on the doors, lol! I know there is no way that all of my stuff would fit in there, but they have some really cool stacking units, too! Note to the man in the red suit: I think the cabinet and four stackers would do me just fine!
I also got to see a few interesting Fisk-a-folks there too! More on that tomorrow!

August 3rd, 2008 at 2:18 amI am a printer junkie. Yes I admit it and I know that is the first step. So since I’ve admitted it-I can buy the cute little Selphy right?

August 3rd, 2008 at 7:58 amHi Rebecca, I was also at the convention. I was there Friday and got to meet Wendy Jo and Laura (a nifty fifty). Both were nice, and Wendy Jo was very generous, besides being sweet! Sounds like you had a good vacation.

August 3rd, 2008 at 6:32 pmPrinters……..they keep coming out with new & improved….I think we should run a survey with scrappers to see what they feel is the best….as they say the consumer always knows best!
