Fashion Fusion At Creativation 2017

I got the amazing chance to be apart of a fun challenge at Creativation 2017 called Fashion Fusion.  This event sis all about integrating crafting and fashion to do a Project runway of sorts for the creative industry.  There were 11 companies sponsoring the event and they were all there to help teach and educate everyone on how to use the products.   Here we are getting our info about the challenge and supplies available to us.

Here is a little video over view of the event plus the purse I made!!

I made this amazing purse with every company (except McCalls since I did not need a pattern).  The companies that participated were (supply links below):

Creativation 2017 Mini Memory Album

I was challenged to create a mini album that was not a square or rectangle, had at least 3 pages, and had something to do with women.  So I have gotten back from Creativation 2017 and had all these fun little bits and bobs of products and make and takes from the show and thought I would make a mini book all about my memories, tags, business cards, and products I got from the show!

I made this fro a group called Crazy Lab, and it is a 4 part series where part 1 is collecting all my supplies, so I gathered all the fun little things from the convention that I brought home.

Part 2 was to prep the book pages and make the front cover.

Part 3 is where I completed the book pages and bound the book.

Each page is a memory of my time at the convention, people I met, companies I worked for, event that I went to, a booth I visited, a funny story about waiting in line, and so much more!!  It really is a little snapshot of my time at the convention!  Here are a few pages from the book.

I had so much fun meeting new people, meeting, friends that I had only met on line, and getting to be apart of an event that I had been dying to go to for years!!!

For the other artists doing the challenge check it out here - Crazy Lab

Come back next week for part 4 where I create a little container to store the book in!
