Thank you for giving us the Tour To Scrapbook Expo 2023 Girl!
Last June went to visit my sisters in Florida after my eldest sister and my husband passed away.
My sister to keep me busy planned a trip to Orlando and attended Stamp and Scrapbook Expo 2022 even took a Scrapbook Class by Kreative Kreations was Amazing the paper we used was from 49 & Market Ethereal Collection and Layering Embellishments, packages of 49 & Market Flowers so Beautiful.
49 & Market, Simple Stories, PhotoPlay, Stamperia, Faith & Art bought so many Beautiful Scrapbook Papers. Needed to borrow extra luggage for the amount of supplies I bought, to fly home. Kreative Kreations has a Watercolor Daydream Collection plus Die Cut Sheets check them out.
Thank you for sharing. 🤩🤩🤩
Darn, I had to miss it this year…😭
Wow–thank you for bringing us along. I attended the SSBE in Pleasanton, CA, in March, and it seems that you had a lot more vendors in Virginia than we did. I look forward to attending so much each year, so it was a little disappointing to see fewer vendor booths, but I'm hopeful that it will continue to grow each year. So great that you got to see the Illustrated Faith, and Bee Creative booths in person–I really hope they come to California in 2024! And the Photoplay booth looks wonderful–I always appreciate companies like them who manage to manufacture most or all of their products in the United States. I may have missed the Rubbernecker booth in your video, but theirs is always terrific with lots or inspirational samples. So happy that you and your daughter had such a fun time together.
We have an expo in Mesa, AZ each year that's just like this one. I like to take 2 classes, shop & crop, when I can.
The creating keepsakes convention is in lancaster pa and has a lot of the same shops for anyone in that area.
I have never heard of a scrapbooking expo. That would be something I would definitely enjoy going to. I am definitely a crafter and love trying different kinds of crafts media. But my most favorite kind of craft is making my own cards. I do a lot of rubber stamping and stenciling and have all kinds of rubber stamps, inks, embossing powders and scrapbooking papers. I have been doing this since I was in my 20's. I have a lot of different machines to make stickers and die cuts. I also have a Cricut machine that I love to use. However, since I have moved to Arkansas, I haven't been able to use any of my supplies because I still have them packed away. Living where I am has not been enjoyable. So I haven't been able to do what I like to do most. However, if given the chance to move back to where I want to go, may give me a chance to get back into doing my crafts again. I would also like to learn about all of the new products that are available and learn any other new crafts that are out there. Thank you for sharing your video. I enjoyed it immensely. I would love to go to one if they have something like that in my new area. Hopefully I'll be able to find one somewhere. Again, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for posting this. My daughter and I are going when it makes it over to Washington state
Great recap of the event. I LOVE the EXPO and have attended the Chicago area one since it's first year. I usually don't start watching videos of the event this early in the year, because I get too excited and then it's a long wait for ours in mid August. I'm a card maker mostly these days, so I go looking for stamps, dies, embossing folders, stencils ans inks. It's just fun to see all the products in person, especially now that most big box craft stores have gotten rid of their stamp and die sections. I go for just the shopping, because the classes don't really interest me. Looking forward to seeing your haul.
I was there! I actually learned about the expo from one of your old videos, so I decided to check it out for myself this year. I took my teenage daughter and we spent the whole weekend (and an embarrassing amount of mad money) there and had such a fabulous time. It is now on the calendar as an annual mother/daughter trip. 😊
Thanks for sharing. I loved it.
Yes, I was there for the first time and enjoyed every minute. The classes were great, as was the cropping as well as meeting new people. I saw you but wasn't sure where I recognized you from. I also ran into a former coworker and her mom, aunt, and grandmothers. I can't wait for next year. I will get ready to shop. Happy you came. Will travel to others if I hear about them ahead of time.
How do I find out if my area has one of these expos?
I was at this event for the whole weekend. It was my first craft and crop event, and I loved it! I am definitely returning next year since I live pretty close. I'm sorry I didn't run into you. That would have been cool, lol. Your video made me realize how much I missed in the shops. There was so much to do.
This will be in Orlando May 18-20 and I can't wait!!!
I attended the expo at the Dulles Expo center too, I loved seeing everything in person. It was awesome!
The Sweet Sentiment Stp had the 3D PIECES? Can't find online….
I loved this video; you made me even more excited to go to mine in 13 days. I was able to write down the names of some of the booths that you stopped at. I can't wait now and I look forward to seeing what you bought.
Thanks for sharing! There is one in Novi, MI this week. I've heard it is a really good one. I'm hoping to go next year.
I just HAD to look thiamin for future expos somewhat close to where I am and there is in Sacramento california where my in-laws live, I’m October, so I’m already making plans lol this is amazing.
I was there on Saturday! Even though my back was in extreme pain I had to go, it was my first time and I waited months for it. So I grabbed my cane and pain meds and made it with the help of my husband! I loved it!
49 and Market has been a favorite of mine for a while. I spent a lot of money and maybe it's a good thing I was in pain or I would have spent even more! LOL I can't wait to go back next year and they said because attendance was up that there will be 9 more booths next year!
Hi. Loved going with you on your shopping trip. I’m wondering if you know if any expo is held in Ontario Canada? TFS. Sherry from Canada 🇨🇦. All the best to you.
I miss the stamp and Scrap Expo in the North East.😢
Thank you for sharing this!! I had no idea that there was such a thing and come to find out, this same event will be in my neck of the woods in June! I’m so excited 🙌💕
I was in Chantilly- Dulles Expo Center- with @Retta and @Sheila. Such a great weekend! Great Play dates and classes as well as I shopped a ton of great items which, like you said, you don’t just see anywhere! 💜
Sad you missed my Photo Scraps Booth
I wish we had bumped into you. That would have been so fun. By BFF and I were there on Friday. It was so much fun. You are so right, seeing these items in person was a real treat. I look forward to going to the ScrapExpo next year.
I can’t believe I missed this! It’s the first year I didn’t know it was coming to the VA area.
Really great overview of expo, my posse and i are so excited to go to the orlando expo on the 18th too…
Thank you for the preview! Headed to the Orlando Expo in a few weeks.
