Fall 2017 - Creative Escape

The Location
Our location was a local church multi-purpose room! I loved it there! It was only our group in the entire building and they had a ton of tables! If you are a stamper, scrapbooker, or crafter...you know table space is so valuable! We had so many tables available, so everyone had plenty of room and more! The room was huge, but also felt cozy! We had a full kitchen too, so it made it easy to take food (more of food below!)
The Morning and Set Up
We had a project area where we set up the projects we took for everyone to complete. It was lots of projects:
- 3 - 2 page 12x12 layouts (so 6 full 12x12 pages total!)
- 2 gift card holders
- 2 cards
- 1 gift box
Everyone was welcome to come and go to the group project area as they wished. So some worked on their own projects first and then did a couple projects or vise versa. It was basically- work at your own pace.
Everyone had their own half-table. Their area was set up with some goodies and a stamp set to keep (shown above). Here is a close up of their gifts:
Water bottle with a snapple packet.
A chocolate goodie bag, because who doesn't love chocolate!
...and a name card!
Alisha and I also took our big shots and lots of framelits and embossing folders for everyone to use.
The Projects!
The idea for the event was for everyone to bring a project to work on. Some brought scrapbooks, some brought materials to make paper cakes, one person was making Christmas decorations, Alisha was making cards. However, no event is complete without make and takes. So here are the make and takes we provided! I think they were a hit! Alisha and I split the task and each prepped a few.
My projects and work space!
Alisha and I shared a table. If you don't know Alisha, she is one of my downline members, my partner in crime, and a great friend! However, Alisha and I should not share a table! She and I have way to much stuff and need lots of space! Can you guess what side of the table is mine?! She wasn't completely set up, but still. Since we had a ton of tables, we both added mini tables to our sides to give us extra space!
I worked on our family 2013 scrapbook and got about half way done. I was happy with that. Part of my time was spent sorting pictures into categories. Next time I will sort at home to save time.
The Food!
Part of the event fee included food. Alisha made banana choclate muffins for the morning. I didn't get a picture of those, but they were delicious! I ate a couple! For lunch we had a pasta bake, salad, and french bread. For dessert, Alisha made cheesecake cups. They were so good!
Summary!
It was so much fun we can't wait to do it again! We set the date while we were there because we were having so much fun and so were our guests! The Fall Creative Escape will be holiday themed! Save the date- September 16th!
