Scrapbook Expo Review + Giveaway

I had a great time at the Scrapbook Expo in Duluth, GA yesterday. I got some great deals and a few less-than-great buys, but overall I learned loads and loved it! I wish I had had more time to peruse the booths (I barely made it through the floor), but I think I got more out of the 3 classes I took than I would have just shopping. 🙂

I took the Clear Scraps Artist Trading Card Extravaganza Workshop where I learned how to work with acrylics focusing on some Steampunk and vintage pieces. I worked on 2 shabby chic or traditional layouts in the Heartfelt Creations Dreaming in Florals Layout Workshop. Finally I made some really fun and easy jewelry pieces in the Latest and Greatest from Craft Fantastic Workshop.

The following is a video share of my experience:

To share some of these yummies with you, I am doing a little GIVEAWAY: For 1 entry into the giveaway, please leave a comment telling me what you thought was the best buy or thing I learned. For 2 extra entries, do a YouTube video promo for my channel/this giveaway (please leave the link to your video in the comments). Must be a subbie to win. Drawing will be August 1, 2015.

Prize: craft-themed bracelet, vintage girl stamp, and silhouette earrings (plus a few extra goodies that’ll be a surprise).

Hi there – such an exciting time. 🙂 I wish I had expos like that in my country !!
Your Scrapbook pages are the BEST !! I think that class was the best deal because you got those awesome stamps as well 😀

I loved watching your video! They don’t have any events like this here in Nova Scotia (that I’m aware of!) and I could just feel your excitement at being able to attend and get the great deals! What fun! I think your best deal was the free stamp set from taking the Heartfelt Creations class. Thank you for your giveaway! I don’t know how to make videos so I will just leave a comment. Thank you so much!

Mon Abby Gabby The flowers and bag were a terrific deal. I loved the butterflies and vintage buttons too. I wanted to go there this year, but it did not work out to come down. I live in NJ. I love your Heartfelt Creations layouts. They are gorgeous. I have never learned to do videos so this will be my only entry. Thanks for sharing. Edwina Brown

What a great haul…lucky you! I think you got a lot of great buys. It flowers are sooo cute! The jewelry looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for doing this video. I love to watch all of your videos and it is really fun to see everything that you got. TFS! 🙂
By the way, the name of the company where you felt that you spent too much is Sparkle ‘n Sprinkle. I agree they can be overpriced, but they have great things and wonderful techniques!
