We were Inspired at Spark!!

So many things around me inspire me and help me want to be creative. Attending Spark for the short time I was there certainly helped pump up my creative juices. I might have to try and attend next year for sure!! 

This was the sight when you first walked into the main hall...the decor was so inspiring and looked so fun!! 

I wonder who got up there and put this bicycle up, but boy it was cute. I loved how the front basket was filled with "sewing pattern paper and colored streamers.

 Each table center piece was unique and very creative.

 Have you ever been to the DIY DISH? Well if you have, then you would have recognized the very cute Kim Christopherson & Kris Thurgood from this fun online video craft show. Be sure to check out these cute twins on their website. We hope to be doing some fun projects with them soon too!!

DIY Dish girls, Amy Mitchell & Lori Allred

Our good friend Shannon from Cricut/Provo Craft shared our demo table with us and she was so much fun! We had fun blinging out and adding custom brad centers to her cute quilled flowers!!

 Here's some picture of the Spark attendees having fun using the i-top and i-rock tools.
