CKC Nashville 2012
I had a blast this
weekend and wanted to share some of the fun I had with you. Creating Keepsakes
Convention was in Nashville this weekend so it was time to get a little
scrappy. The weekend consisted of shopping, learning some new techniques from
some great teachers, having a few laughs with friends (Jennifer we missed you),
and closing the weekend with a crop. 
Friday consisted
mostly of shopping the vendor faire. Not only was I able to purchase exciting
new products, I also watched a few demonstrations to learn new techniques and
completed a gift card holder at the Close to My Heart booth. There were not as
many vendors this year but I have to say I fell in love with one particular
vendor – ADORNit. Here is a couple of pictures I took in their booth – I purchased
the supplies to recreate the yellow wood art for my craft room.
I must mention
this was only half of their booth because I did not dare step to the other side
– they had some really cute clothing and accessories and I knew my scraping
budget would be gone if I even dared to look. Check out their website as they
carry a wide variety of scrapbook projects, fabric, clothing, and accessories –
there is also a link to their blog from their website.
I also made sure
to stop by and support our local crafting superstar – Jenni Bowlin – she has a great
website so make sure it check it
out along with her blogs.
As I mentioned I
was able to take a few classes and learn some new techniques. As always the
classes go really quick so I have several projects I will be working to finish
and I promise to share them with you as they are completed.
I also got very
lucky this year! They have hourly drawings in the vendor faire and this year I
decided to purchase extra give-away tickets. I dropped my tickets in Friday and
was lucky to win the 10am drawing which was a gift certificate to Dollar
Scrapbooking.net. Saturday morning when I arrived I dropped my tickets off and
to when I got out of my first class I had won another $15 gift certificate for Stamping
Station. So off to my last class I went and luckily I had friends looking out
for me. To my surprise when I had gotten out of class they noticed I had won
once again and they were all nice enough to redeem my goodies from Strictly
Scrapbooking since the vendors closed as I was getting out of class. I guess I
should have purchased a lottery ticket because I’m never this lucky. J
A CK convention is
never complete without a late night crop. We shared a few laughs, made a run
for ice cream, while working on our projects for the night. It was a long day
arriving at 9:00 am Saturday morning and cropping until 11:30pm so as you can
imagine we were all a little tired. I hate CK will not be coming back to
Nashville next year but I think that will just mean a road trip!

It was a lot of fun! And what a fun surprise to find you in one of my classes. :) I'm happy to be your personal scrapbook supply shopper anytime. ;)
