Scrapfest Photos: Part I

Honestly, I thought there would be much more "free-time" since the workshops I taught were only 45 minutes each. Heck, what was I thinking? The weekend was over before I knew it and I hadn't posted anymore photos to share. I'm sorry for the delay as I'm on back-to-back Bella Blvd teaching trips.

I hosted a Crop Around Town about 20 minutes from the MOA at the Archiver's in Roseville.

The crop was full of excited and talented scrapbookers, all waiting to learn a bit more about Bella Blvd. First I introduced myself and my local Design Team girls that traveled with me and then shared a bit about my story and how I started Bella Blvd.

We had some fun door prizes.....that got everyone all excited......

She's crossing her fingers...pick me, pick me! This woman wanted so badly to win our Tail Waggers & Cat Naps giveaway prize because it turns out she fosters cats and dogs and has piles and piles of photographs to scrapbook of all those furry friends she loves so much!

We had some fun prizes to giveaway and got everyone involved with a little scavenger hunt-style game....The photo above was, "The first person to find a compact mirro and run it up to Katherine waiting at the front counter wins......"

We launched a Bella Blvd Sketch Challenge in conjunction with the "Saturday Sketch" feature at the Bella Blvd Studio Blog. We wanted the Sketch to inspire a layout with at least one Bella Blvd patterned paper on it. Turned out lots of the women were inspired and hopped right to it!

Here's a great mix of the two collections, Mr. Boy and Family Dynamix.

This page was super cute and including product we gave out everyone's goodie bags (Hello Beautiful & Socialite)

Some more Mr. Boy & Hello Beautiful being combined above for a new puppy layout!

We allowed cards inspired by the sketch to be entered into the challenge too! Here's one featuring Bella's newest Too Cute To Spook products!

Making the Team mixed with Mr. Boy!

It was great seeing everyone mixing and matching Bella Blvd products the way they are meant to be used! I really wish I could have joined them and scrapped all night long too!

We also created this clever little party favor make n take for our croppers, designed by Beth (Local Artista).

Well that's it for Part 1 of my Scrapfest Recap. I'll be back tomorrow with Part II sharing photos from my workshops (3) at the Mall of America. Thank you to all the wonderful scrappers at Roseville. We hope to see you again next year at Scrapfest!
