Creativation 2018

January 31, 2018

I spent a super exciting long weeked in Phoenix, AZ attending Creativation 2018!  Paige extended an invitation to go and I leapt at the chance!   I arrived Friday afternoon and after getting settled I headed over to the Convention Center.  I took my first Lyft ride and it was great!  I found Paige and we chatted and I oohed and ahhed over the gorgeous new Pick Me Up Collection by Paige Taylor Evans and Pink Paislee. It was amazing to see the whole collection together!!  Can’t wait to get my hands on the stamp set!  I brought along 4 layouts I made with the Pick Me Up papers, it was great fun to see my layout displayed at the show!  Paige and I set off for dinner.  We went to the Taco Guild and the food was fantastic.  I had an early night, which was great after the long day of travelling.

On Saturday I was up and ready and back in the Lyft headed downtown.  I got to the convention center before the show opened and it was so cool to walk around checking out the booths and seeing scrapbook stars!  Pretty soon Missy Whidden arrived and it was like meeting an already great friend!  Love her!  Enza arrived shortly after and she is so delightful and friendly!! Kimberly Hutchison also stopped by the booth, Kimberly owns the Hip Kit Club and I was so looking forward to meeting her!!  I was so happy to meet these lovely women in person!  Paige was just as amazing and friendly as I imagined her to be!  Saturday was busy with all sorts of people coming to the booth.  Paige was kept busy showing her new collection!  Quite honestly the best part of the whole show for me was meeting people.  I tried not to make a fool out of myself but I was a fangirl, hard.  I waved and said hi!!!! to Dyan Reavely a number of times and then when she was out walking with Dina I made my move, Dyan said “oh it’s you!” haha sorry Dyan!  I met the crew from Scrapbook Cards Today Magazine which was a huge thrill!  Everyone is so nice!  I have admired Meghann and Jen Gallacher’s work for a long time, so that was a treat to meet them!  Vicki Boutin had me at hello, she is warm, down to earth and loves to laugh!

On Saturday night I trooped around Scottsdalle with this crew until we found a place we could all fit!

On Sunday I was a little slower to start but made it in just before the show opened.  There was more visiting and Missy and Iwalked around the show looking at all the booths!  We stopped for a good long look at Simple Stories, Pinkfresh Studio, Bella Blvd. and Thermoweb.  We watched a few demos being done by Jane Davenport, Vicki Boutin and Tim Holtz at the Ranger Booth.  A few of the American Crafts stars headed home on Sunday night, including Paige!  So sad to see her go!  Kimberly took Missy and I out for a lovely dinner.  Those two can sure tell stories!!

On Monday I was the last man standing, it was quieter on Monday but still plenty of people visiting the booth, I got to walk people through the Pick Me Up Collection a few times and met retailers from all over the world!  Kimberly stopped by and I helped her take a few product videos for upcoming goodies in the Hip Kits!  The show ended at 4 on Monday and we spent a pretty low key night at the Airbnb house!  Did some packing and then flew home Tuesday!

Creativation 2018 was an awesome experience.  I would go again in a heartbeat, next time I think I would sign up for some of the classes that they offer before the big show as I heard plenty of buzz about how great they were!  Meeting people who have similiar passions and interests is always a great thing!  I came home inspired and ready to scrap!

My crafty intention today was to use some alphas f My crafty intention today was to use some alphas from my stash! I picked these foam holographic ones and then couldn’t find anything to go with them! I finally decided just to keep it simple. I had a hard time with the journaling in this angle and ended up just copying the block of text to each side, I really like how it turned out. I stamped the top band of paper with a Heidi Swapp leaf stamp to match my pajamas! Simple is not always easy haha!

Paired it with some tags I made using a paper from the DD 2020 kit and a black star charm for the date!

I love a then & now page! The two little stamps on I love a then & now page! The two little stamps on the new Feed Your Craft stamp set inspired my page, so I made two little tags for them! I got out a few more stamps from my stash for the title (Max stamp from Studio Calico) and found a flair that matched it all!
