JOIN US!! We are part of the first Cricut Circle Swarm Event, Oct. 9th

It's NOT too late....

Do you own a Cricut? Maybe you don't own one yet, but it's on your Christmas wish list. Everyone who owns (or wants to own) a Cricut should attend this event. First, because what you'll gain from the education is worth so much...but second, an insider source tells me the GOODIE BAGS alone will include product valued over $300...and includes a GYPSY (my most favorite tool ever!). 

Only one week from today!! It will be WORTH the price of your ticket to attend and you get TWO free meals!! 

Come join me as we learn about all the great Cricut products AND learn about other "hot tools" in the industry. Yes, I'll be demonstrating the i-top and i-rock tools from Imaginisce. I also hear other great manufacturer's and their tools will be there to share as well.

Provo Craft is proud to host the inaugural Swarm! What is a swarm? A place for Provo Craft enthusiasts to gather and work on cards, layouts and mixed media projects while enjoying the company of other passionate crafters. Provo Craft will have Cricut Imagines, Expressions, Cuttlebugs, and Yudus available during the event for everyone to use.

Awesome Giveaways

And we have amazing give aways—2 Scrapbox Storage Systems, 4 Cricut Imagines, Martha Stewart Cake Machines, Cricut Cake Machines, Cartridges and more!

Everyone will be taking all four classes during the crop. The classes are:

Yudu
Provo Craft will be demystifying the Yudu Process. We will be showing everyone how to apply emulsion, burn a screen, rinse a screen, what ‘spidering’ is, the correct way to transfer an image to a transparency, using the new foil and flocking, the toddler platen, the sleeve platen, why you need a registration panel, and of course, screen print! We will have over 7 spooky Halloween images to pull on an item that you bring. Imaginisce will be on hand to blink out your pulled image with their i-rock tool!

Gypsy with Jennifer
Jennifer is the master at the Gypsy! She will be educating all on how to link a cartridge, updating your gypsy, how to delete a layer, converting a CDS file to a gypsy file, uploading a gypsy file, welding, and more! Jennifer will be providing Gypsy files after the class for all to upload! Oh, and if you do not have a gypsy, no worries—you will be getting one in your Swag Bag!

Cricut Imagine
Provo Craft will have Imagines set up for everyone to use during the swarm to enhance their cards, scrapbook pages, etc. We will have all the cartridges for you to play with during the event. The class will review all the facets of the Imagine product, especially how to incorporate regular cartridges with the Imagine!

Cricut Expression
Every wonder what the Center Point key is? How about the Line Return? Multicut? Autofill? Mix and Match? Portrait? Well this is the class for you! We will be reviewing all the keys on the Expression to enable you to use your Expression to its full capacity. We will also show you how to UPDATE your Cricut Expression!

• Our Swag Bags are stuffed to the gills with a Gypsy, Custom Cuttlebug Folders and fun products from our partners.

Recap of Scrapfest & Winner Announced

We are still catching up on work and sleep after returning from Minnesota's famous Scrapfest event sponsored by Archivers and held at the amazing Mall of America. 

Here's some great pictures we gathered while on our travels and be sure to scroll the end of the post to find out who our luck SCRAPFEST winner of the Imaginisce-Provo Craft giveaway is....

 

Teaching classes is by far my most favorite part of every event! The students in our classes were wonderful, gracious and quick learners. We had so much teaching and cannot wait to return next year! 

Me teaching one of our AWESOME group of ladies in class!! They rocked!

We love to see great friends at events like Scrapfest....

Julia, Glue Arts' GLUE GIRL

Sometimes after a VERY long day of teaching and demos we take time to eat! We enjoyed the couple of dinner spots we visited while in the Minneapolis area. Thankfully our team member, Matt grew up there!!

Julia Sandvoss, Amy Mitchell, Lori Allred, Madison Parker of Echo Park dining at Twin City Grill

This cute mother-daughter duo stopped by our both to show us what they created with the new i-rock tool they purchased at Scrapfest. Scroll down...it's cute! If you know who these cute girls are, tell them to email us...we want to send them a fun thank you for sharing their creativity with us at the booth!!

We had a few minutes before our class started to stop and eat a banana....little did I know Amy was snapping pictures of my "resting".

Madison of Echo Park wanted to try out our i-rock tool and he was hooked. He was blinging all sort of things out and even demo-ed the tool to a fun group of ladies the next morning. Thanks Madison!!

I added the circle so you could sort of see what Madison created with the i-rock...for those of you that cannot tell, it's the letter "M" for Madison.

But then we decided to show Madison how easy it was to i-rock his own Echo Park stickers using the i-rock.

 

Wanna see Madison's feedback about the i-rock? Check out this quick video Amy shot after he finished playing with the tool for the first time: 

 

Watch in coming weeks for a Blog Swap with Echo Park. We've challenged their designers to come up with some fun sample featuring our i-rock and i-top tools.
