I’m off to my first blogger conference with my wife. It’s called SNAP Conference and is in Salt Lake City. I have a sneaking suspicion I will be one of the few boys there. I’m also near panicked at the level of preparation I did not do for this event. Not only did I not a door decoration for my room but I don’t have a duct tape suit for the Duck Tape prom. The one thing I could bang out is a cool business card. You should see what these crazy DIY bloggers are doing. Search #snapconf to see.

I visited my friendly neighborhood TechShop and enlisted the help of Ashley to use the laser cutter. We spent the next two hours tweaking the design and optimizing the placement of text, folds and cuts. I’ve used the cutter for plexiglass and wood but never paper. Glad I didn’t catch the place on fire.

Since all the visiting DIYers have cool cards to share, I thought mine would reflect my love of booze and DIY. You get the folded card and one one half there is a dinosaur with a martini (hence #dinotini). You color him in to your choosing then punch it out and fit it together.

The social media mavens are blowing me away with their savviness. If people would like to post pictures of their finished coloring projects and tag them #dinotini, that would be awesome.

See everyone at the event.

Budmo!
