Allred Design Blog: Teaching and Creating at CK Scrap & Play (...a late recap)

Since I haven't posted anything crafty in a while I thought I'd start of talking about my great experience at CK Scrap & Play in Provo this past October This was a darling class they offered called Time of My Life, sponsored by Teresa Collins. But of course I had to change it up from it's original version, but loved using this darling Maya Road album and all the fun TC papers. I added the new Roly Rosies from Imaginisce to the cover and I cut the title and tab labels with my Cricut using black vinyl.

These Roly Rosies are simple die cut spiral flowers that you simply twist into a rose. You can ink the edges, sand them, add glitter or whatever you'd like. Imaginisce currently offers 3 skus of these but I know from an "inside" source that they're releasing more (wink). And don't miss out on how cute the i-rock rhinestones look on the album cover...and yes, they melt to the plastic surface with ea

If you'd like to see how easy these flowers are to make and learn about the colors and styles available, check out my cute friend Erin Bassett's Roly Rosies, Popup Posies blog post about them...she also created a great video that's worth watching too!

Okay now about the event and the fun I had there. First I have to get give a huge shout out to the CK Events team. What always impresses me the most about these events is that no small detail is overlooked. Everything from the decorations, to the darling name badges and centerpieces. I think it shows they care so much about the attendees to take the time to do all of it.

Now here's some pics...

Me with my newest friend Lori Chadwick...loved her!

The Marriott was a great place to Scrap & Play

Oh did I mention that I was one of the featured teachers? It was such a fun group to teach and although I needed to fill up an hour and half, I loved every second (oh except when my cordless mic quit). The students totally made MY experience the best!! But all the teachers there were fabulous and boy there was a lot!

So many fun scrapbookers from ALL over!

They had a great on-site store...fun shopping!

I'm going to end my post with a HUGE shout out to my awesome team of friends!! These ladies volunteered their time to come help me with the class. It's hard teaching 100 ladies how to use the i-rock and i-top tools and these gals made my job so much easier! I always have so much fun with all four of these gals and they always keep me laughing. Thank you girls!!
