My friends and I were just discussing how much we hate the fact that the A&C big box stores are focusing mostly on cheap home decor items. Most of us have been forced to shop online, which is OK for some things, but we want to see new to us items in person. I’m sharing the link to the Expo. Maybe we can all meet up there and shop till we drop. 😁
I love this virtual shopping experience! Thank you! I haven’t been to a scrapbook show like this but I used to go to quilt expos and I remember how thrilled I was. If I have an opportunity to go to a scrapbook expo I will! You are great here on TH-cam, so glad to see your videos. ❤
Hi! I was at the same Expo last Friday! (I went last year too.)I bought more at the Faith and Art shop than I intended! I took two Bible journaling classes and the Copic markers class, so I didn’t get as much time to shop, and i missed some of the things you saw. But I bought Scrappy Boy (I fell in love with the Gilligan’s Island line) and 49 and Market rub-ons and some of that Washi tape at the eyelet outlet, and 50% off portable watercolors, etc. was with two friends and we had a blast. Except for when I realized I didn’t have my phone. Fortunately, I remembered where I last had it and someone handed it to those kind shop owners took it to lost and found for me. People who paper craft are such great people!!
Thank you for giving us the Tour To Scrapbook Expo 2023 Girl! Last June went to visit my sisters in Florida after my eldest sister and my husband passed away. My sister to keep me busy planned a trip to Orlando and attended Stamp and Scrapbook Expo 2022 even took a Scrapbook Class by Kreative Kreations was Amazing the paper we used was from 49 & Market Ethereal Collection and Layering Embellishments, packages of 49 & Market Flowers so Beautiful. 49 & Market, Simple Stories, PhotoPlay, Stamperia, Faith & Art bought so many Beautiful Scrapbook Papers. Needed to borrow extra luggage for the amount of supplies I bought, to fly home. Kreative Kreations has a Watercolor Daydream Collection plus Die Cut Sheets check them out. Thank you for sharing. 🤩🤩🤩
I had never been to one of these before, but now that I’ve seen your walk through, I’m thinking I need to make plans to go next year. My sister lives in Sterling, so maybe she’ll go with me. We’re both retired, so we could go during the week and get there before the huge crowds roll in. And, I may check with you ahead of time so we could perhaps go the same day you do. I’d love to meet you in person. I’m surprised that there are some brands you hadn’t heard of, but I’m glad you know them now. 49 & Market has great papers. I saw Mintay papers on one of the racks. You didn’t mention them, but the quality of their paper is incredible!! I can’t wait to see your haul!!! Thanks for sharing!
Someone else mentioned that I should check out Mintay! Honestly, there are so many companies to keep track of and I don't have the best memory. It'd be fun to bump into each other next year for sure!
@@ScrappyWife, I’ve learned so much from TH-cam watching during the pandemic. There was so much I didn’t know about all the amazing products out there, including tools, machines, paper, and all the different companies and brands. It’s astounding and sometimes overwhelming, and definitely a burden on my credit card! Lol!! Mintay paper might not be your style, but it’s so beautiful and the quality is amazing! Yes, it would be totally cool to run into you at the craft show next year!!
I love this!!! 🤩 We used to have Europe’s biggest scrapbook expo here in Stockholm and I miss it so much. It’s so fun to see the deferents and what the similar are in the shops between USA and Sweden/Europe. ❤❤❤
I was there on Saturday! Even though my back was in extreme pain I had to go, it was my first time and I waited months for it. So I grabbed my cane and pain meds and made it with the help of my husband! I loved it! 49 and Market has been a favorite of mine for a while. I spent a lot of money and maybe it's a good thing I was in pain or I would have spent even more! LOL I can't wait to go back next year and they said because attendance was up that there will be 9 more booths next year!
I am so sorry that you were in pain, but I am so glad that you still attended! So exciting to hear that there will be more booths next year....Love attending this every year!
There is a similar annual event on Mother’s Day weekend in Novi Michigan. It is called Mega Meet. I have gone several times and always enjoy myself and spend too much money!!
I was there with my girlfriends! We usually go to the Orlando one, but dates didn't work for our group (Maine, Virginia, and Florida!) but we enjoyed Chantilly and a blast participating in the crop fun! We also love going for the shopping, online shopping is tough, we love to see things in person.
A friend and I will be attending the expo in Puyallup, WA at the end of the month and we are so excited to be going! It’s our second year attending and we are expecting to have as much fun this year as we did last year! I discovered so many great tips last year and look forward to what new adventures await!
Great sneak peek. I went to the one in Orlando for the first time last year and was blown away. My sister and I do it together. We go all out and do the whole package with the Mega Make and Take, dress up for theme days and shop like crazy. It is so much fun. The Orlando one is next week and I can't wait!
I took my daughter to this show on Saturday! We live 2 hrs away and I hadn’t attended a show in years. My daughter had a blast doing the make and takes and we can’t wait til we can attend another show ❤️ Like you mentioned, it was fun seeing the products in person and learned about products that were new-to-me !
Nope, I think close to my heart is still going strong with all of the individual sellers out there. Eyelet outlet was fun - now to figure out what I am going to do with those.
Yes, I was there for the first time and enjoyed every minute. The classes were great, as was the cropping as well as meeting new people. I saw you but wasn't sure where I recognized you from. I also ran into a former coworker and her mom, aunt, and grandmothers. I can't wait for next year. I will get ready to shop. Happy you came. Will travel to others if I hear about them ahead of time.
Oh my gosh I think this is the expo happening later this month in Orlando!!! I want to go. I have never been to a crafting expo of any kind. I am a card maker and starting to dabble in folios and mini books, and also mixed media... really I love all kinds of crafts. How did I go this long without doing that?!?
I've been to them many times & they are fantastic!!! Make sure you save lots because you are definitely going to want everything lol!! It's a fun time!! 😁
I’m going to expo in Orlando in a couple weeks. I don’t go every year but I highly recommend it if you can! There are classes you can take, also. I signed up for 3 this time 😃
I was in Chantilly- Dulles Expo Center- with @Retta and @Sheila. Such a great weekend! Great Play dates and classes as well as I shopped a ton of great items which, like you said, you don’t just see anywhere! 💜
I was at this event for the whole weekend. It was my first craft and crop event, and I loved it! I am definitely returning next year since I live pretty close. I'm sorry I didn't run into you. That would have been cool, lol. Your video made me realize how much I missed in the shops. There was so much to do.
So much fun.. I’m glad you saw Scrappin in the City.. It’s a great local store in Knoxville, TN.. if you are ever there stop by, they also have a great online store too.
For the first time I went to a Scrapbooking Expo here in Columbus Ohio. I bought several 49 and Market items including some rub on stickers. Can't wait to start creating!!
I do all my shopping online because the box stores do not carry much. This made me excited to try one and there is one that is a few hour drive from me later this year. Hotel and craft shopping!! Sounds fun!!
Scrapbook Expo is in Orlando next weekend. When I first started watching your video, I thought wow it’s not as crowded but I guess it got busier as your day went on. our Orlando location is always shoulder to shoulder, but still so fun.
My cousin and I have been going to this for over 5 years. Last year there weren’t that many vendors about 20. Seeing your video I’m hopeful that there are more vendors this year.
So glad you discovered Petticoat Parlor!!! I used to work for them and it is a fabulous company with fabulous products! Not to mention the great owners. I know they will appreciate the review!
Great recap of the event. I LOVE the EXPO and have attended the Chicago area one since it's first year. I usually don't start watching videos of the event this early in the year, because I get too excited and then it's a long wait for ours in mid August. I'm a card maker mostly these days, so I go looking for stamps, dies, embossing folders, stencils ans inks. It's just fun to see all the products in person, especially now that most big box craft stores have gotten rid of their stamp and die sections. I go for just the shopping, because the classes don't really interest me. Looking forward to seeing your haul.
They are coming to my state in August and haven’t been to this expo in years. Thanks for creating a video about, it’s inspired me to check it out this year.
I was there actually saw me pass you in the video sorry I didn’t say hello we came from out of state to this show I will be at the NJ one next it was a great show
This will be my last expo in Chantilly. I'm moving to Tennessee and it's too far to go. I loved the Megan make and take and the card swap the best. I enjoyed the show .
49 and Market is one of my favourites! I love their rubons - I started using them for exactly the reason you mentioned, they don't add much thickness to my memory planners. Thank you for another great video! You should just drive around doing these videos at expos, you are so good at it.
Wow--thank you for bringing us along. I attended the SSBE in Pleasanton, CA, in March, and it seems that you had a lot more vendors in Virginia than we did. I look forward to attending so much each year, so it was a little disappointing to see fewer vendor booths, but I'm hopeful that it will continue to grow each year. So great that you got to see the Illustrated Faith, and Bee Creative booths in person--I really hope they come to California in 2024! And the Photoplay booth looks wonderful--I always appreciate companies like them who manage to manufacture most or all of their products in the United States. I may have missed the Rubbernecker booth in your video, but theirs is always terrific with lots or inspirational samples. So happy that you and your daughter had such a fun time together.
I am also hoping that more and more vendors start to come back. I think attending and purchasing plenty will continue to help the whole community bounce back.
I wish we had bumped into you. That would have been so fun. By BFF and I were there on Friday. It was so much fun. You are so right, seeing these items in person was a real treat. I look forward to going to the ScrapExpo next year.
I loved this video; you made me even more excited to go to mine in 13 days. I was able to write down the names of some of the booths that you stopped at. I can't wait now and I look forward to seeing what you bought.
I was there! I actually learned about the expo from one of your old videos, so I decided to check it out for myself this year. I took my teenage daughter and we spent the whole weekend (and an embarrassing amount of mad money) there and had such a fabulous time. It is now on the calendar as an annual mother/daughter trip. 😊
Looks like so much fun, and great to see all those products in person. Love that Bible journaling booth--looks like they had great items. Looking forward to your haul video. Thanks for taking us along!
I have never heard of a scrapbooking expo. That would be something I would definitely enjoy going to. I am definitely a crafter and love trying different kinds of crafts media. But my most favorite kind of craft is making my own cards. I do a lot of rubber stamping and stenciling and have all kinds of rubber stamps, inks, embossing powders and scrapbooking papers. I have been doing this since I was in my 20's. I have a lot of different machines to make stickers and die cuts. I also have a Cricut machine that I love to use. However, since I have moved to Arkansas, I haven't been able to use any of my supplies because I still have them packed away. Living where I am has not been enjoyable. So I haven't been able to do what I like to do most. However, if given the chance to move back to where I want to go, may give me a chance to get back into doing my crafts again. I would also like to learn about all of the new products that are available and learn any other new crafts that are out there. Thank you for sharing your video. I enjoyed it immensely. I would love to go to one if they have something like that in my new area. Hopefully I'll be able to find one somewhere. Again, thank you for sharing.
I just HAD to look thiamin for future expos somewhat close to where I am and there is in Sacramento california where my in-laws live, I’m October, so I’m already making plans lol this is amazing.
Thank you for sharing this!! I had no idea that there was such a thing and come to find out, this same event will be in my neck of the woods in June! I’m so excited 🙌💕
I love a good scrapbook expo! I always blow the budget! Looking forward to seeing what you purchased and using! I love 49 and Market too. If you like that style, you'd like Mintay!
omg how fun!!! I will be attending the Mesa AZ in Sept and will be looking for 49th and market items. Last year I couldn't find any. Love your channel!
I am fortunate to have a local scrapbook store who carries many of the brands that you showed - Photoplay, Simple Stories, Mintay, and 49 & Market - plus others, many from other countries. I will have to check out Scrappy Boy Products and Lindy's paints. I still have my Twinklings H20 shimmering paints that I use often, so I'm anxious to watch your assessment regarding Lindy's. Scrapbook Expo does come to Mesa, AZ on an annual basis, I think around September but their website will have the details. Fun video, Elisa, and I look forward to watching your haul video!
I found out about it at the last minute so only got to go Saturday morning. First time attending a scrapbook expo!! Wasn't too bad at the beginning (sort like your Friday) but after a few hours TONS of people were there!! I ended up picking up more than I thought once I got home 🤣Now looking to see what else may be coming to the DMV!!
Hi. Loved going with you on your shopping trip. I’m wondering if you know if any expo is held in Ontario Canada? TFS. Sherry from Canada 🇨🇦. All the best to you.
Thank you. Hoping to attend next Friday in Orlando. Do most booths accept credit cards? Any suggestions on how to carry our purchases, especially paper.
I have been for the past two years. It isn't really an event intended to showcase any companies in particular, as there is not any shopping at the event. It is more about coming together as a community of people who have a lot in common.
My friends and I were just discussing how much we hate the fact that the A&C big box stores are focusing mostly on cheap home decor items. Most of us have been forced to shop online, which is OK for some things, but we want to see new to us items in person. I’m sharing the link to the Expo. Maybe we can all meet up there and shop till we drop. 😁
How fun would that be?!?! Yup, there is such a wonderful energy there and it is so much fun to shop in person!
Thanks for stopping @petticoat parlor! We appreciate your custom & kind words.
Thanks for being at the show!!!
I love this virtual shopping experience! Thank you! I haven’t been to a scrapbook show like this but I used to go to quilt expos and I remember how thrilled I was. If I have an opportunity to go to a scrapbook expo I will! You are great here on TH-cam, so glad to see your videos. ❤
Thanks so much Connie! And I agree, these shows have such great energy!
Thanks for sharing! The Great Lakes Mega Meet is next Thursday -Saturday in Novi, Michigan.
Have soooo much fun!
I attended the expo at the Dulles Expo center too, I loved seeing everything in person. It was awesome!
Woohoo!!! Glad you had fun!

Yes, paper crafting people are the best people! Sounds like you had a blast at the show!
I have been to the Chantilly expo every year since 2015. It has become smaller over the years but it still a great place to go to check out new item.
Yes, it definitely has gotten smaller, but I am very happy to still go and support!
going to Orlando Expo in 2 weeks.❤❤❤
Woohoo - get excited!!!
Thank you for giving us the Tour To Scrapbook Expo 2023 Girl!
Last June went to visit my sisters in Florida after my eldest sister and my husband passed away.
My sister to keep me busy planned a trip to Orlando and attended Stamp and Scrapbook Expo 2022 even took a Scrapbook Class by Kreative Kreations was Amazing the paper we used was from 49 & Market Ethereal Collection and Layering Embellishments, packages of 49 & Market Flowers so Beautiful.
49 & Market, Simple Stories, PhotoPlay, Stamperia, Faith & Art bought so many Beautiful Scrapbook Papers. Needed to borrow extra luggage for the amount of supplies I bought, to fly home. Kreative Kreations has a Watercolor Daydream Collection plus Die Cut Sheets check them out.
Thank you for sharing. 🤩🤩🤩
Sounds like you had a fabulous sister adventure!!!

Yup, I definitely spent too much money, but had the BEST time!
The Great Lakes Mega Meet is May 11-13. I’ll be there on the 13th shopping and taking 2 classes. I had a blast there the last 2 years.
I was there with my girlfriends! We usually go to the Orlando one, but dates didn't work for our group (Maine, Virginia, and Florida!) but we enjoyed Chantilly and a blast participating in the crop fun! We also love going for the shopping, online shopping is tough, we love to see things in person.
It makes such a difference getting to see things in person!
A friend and I will be attending the expo in Puyallup, WA at the end of the month and we are so excited to be going!

scrapbooking expo 2023. love it. Buy my supplies for the year . classes are amazing; learn a new skill and free stuff, makes the class cost worth it.
Yes to all of this!!!
I took my daughter to this show on Saturday! We live 2 hrs away and I hadn’t attended a show in years. My daughter had a blast doing the make and takes and we can’t wait til we can attend another show ❤️ Like you mentioned, it was fun seeing the products in person and learned about products that were new-to-me !
Aw, so glad that you and your daughter got the opportunity to go!
Oh wow eyelet outlet. I forgot about them lol and I thought for sure close to my heart was out of business lol that looked like fun
Nope, I think close to my heart is still going strong with all of the individual sellers out there. Eyelet outlet was fun - now to figure out what I am going to do with those.
Yes, I was there for the first time and enjoyed every minute. The classes were great, as was the cropping as well as meeting new people. I saw you but wasn't sure where I recognized you from. I also ran into a former coworker and her mom, aunt, and grandmothers. I can't wait for next year. I will get ready to shop. Happy you came. Will travel to others if I hear about them ahead of time.
Yes! Love the energy of these shows so much - always so inspiring! And what a small crafting world!
This will be in Orlando May 18-20 and I can't wait!!!
Yes!!! Have a great time!
Oh my gosh I think this is the expo happening later this month in Orlando!!! I want to go. I have never been to a crafting expo of any kind. I am a card maker and starting to dabble in folios and mini books, and also mixed media... really I love all kinds of crafts. How did I go this long without doing that?!?
You should definitely go just be warned you will want to buy everything. Lol
I've been to them many times & they are fantastic!!! Make sure you save lots because you are definitely going to want everything lol!! It's a fun time!! 😁
you will be hooked for life.🎉
I’m going to expo in Orlando in a couple weeks. I don’t go every year but I highly recommend it if you can! There are classes you can take, also. I signed up for 3 this time 😃
Definitely go! Save up your money because you will definitely want to spend!
I was in Chantilly- Dulles Expo Center- with @Retta and @Sheila. Such a great weekend! Great Play dates and classes as well as I shopped a ton of great items which, like you said, you don’t just see anywhere! 💜
Glad you had a great time with your friends! It is always a fantastic experience for sure!
The creating keepsakes convention is in lancaster pa and has a lot of the same shops for anyone in that area.
Thanks for sharing!
I was at this event for the whole weekend. It was my first craft and crop event, and I loved it! I am definitely returning next year since I live pretty close. I'm sorry I didn't run into you. That would have been cool, lol. Your video made me realize how much I missed in the shops. There was so much to do.
There was SO much to do! I am glad that you had a great time - already looking forward to next year.
So much fun.. I’m glad you saw Scrappin in the City.. It’s a great local store in Knoxville, TN.. if you are ever there stop by, they also have a great online store too.
Oh, I’d love to check them out in person!
I wish they would come back to Kansas City
Oh, did they used to come?
We have this same event in Atlanta, Georgia in mid-July. I always have a great time, it's very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Yay, I hope you have a great time this summer!
For the first time I went to a Scrapbooking Expo here in Columbus Ohio. I bought several 49 and Market items including some rub on stickers. Can't wait to start creating!!
Yes! Loving the rub-on transfers!
when was the cbus one?
I do all my shopping online because the box stores do not carry much. This made me excited to try one and there is one that is a few hour drive from me later this year. Hotel and craft shopping!! Sounds fun!!
Awesome, I hope you have an amazing time!
Thanks for the peek! I am going to Orlando next week and now more excited!!!❤❤❤
Have a great time!!!
Scrapbook Expo is in Orlando next weekend. When I first started watching your video, I thought wow it’s not as crowded but I guess it got busier as your day went on. our Orlando location is always shoulder to shoulder, but still so fun.
I did go first thing, and it picked up throughout the day.
My cousin and I have been going to this for over 5 years. Last year there weren’t that many vendors about 20. Seeing your video I’m hopeful that there are more vendors this year.
I am hoping that more and more vendors will start returning!
I’m attending the one in Orlando next week! Can’t wait to support these businesses 🎉
Yay! Have a great time!
49 and Market is one of my very favorite companies!
They seem to be a fabulous company for sure!
Think i’m going to go to the Orlando show. Looks fun.
Do it! So much fun to see the products and to support these small business vendors.
I will have to plan on going next year. I love events like this.
Yes, for sure!
So glad you discovered Petticoat Parlor!!! I used to work for them and it is a fabulous company with fabulous products! Not to mention the great owners. I know they will appreciate the review!
Yes, really enjoyed them!

I also tend to go for the shopping! I spent about 4 hours there but could have spent a lot longer.
They are coming to my state in August and haven’t been to this expo in years. Thanks for creating a video about, it’s inspired me to check it out this year.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy going!
I LOVE this expo. I have gone the last two years to the one in Duluth GA. I am planning on going again in July!😃
Have a great time in July!
A fun time here...thanks
It certainly was a fun time!
We have an expo in Mesa, AZ each year that's just like this one. I like to take 2 classes, shop & crop, when I can.
Yes, it’s always so energizing to be a part of it.
soooooooooo jealous!!! I would be in HEAVEN!
It was so fun!
I can’t believe I missed this! It’s the first year I didn’t know it was coming to the VA area.
It used to happen in June up here, but has moved earlier and earlier...definitely keep an eye out for next year!
Thank you for the preview! Headed to the Orlando Expo in a few weeks.
So awesome - have a fabulous time!
I was there actually saw me pass you in the video sorry I didn’t say hello we came from out of state to this show I will be at the NJ one next it was a great show
Hello!!! So glad you enjoyed the show....and how exciting that you get to attend the NJ event as well.
I'll be at the NJ show in August - I went last year for the first time. Amazing!!!!!!
@@carolcasassa160 me too first time was last year and it was great
I love going to the Schaumburg scrapbook expo
So awesome!
Wow, yours was so much better than ours in CA. There were so many more vendors at yours. I did have fun cropping with my friends for 2 days.
So happy that more and more vendors are coming back.
Thank you for posting this. My daughter and I are going when it makes it over to Washington state
Have a great time!
Thanks for sharing. I loved it.
Thanks for coming along!
This will be my last expo in Chantilly. I'm moving to Tennessee and it's too far to go. I loved the Megan make and take and the card swap the best. I enjoyed the show .
Aw, sorry you won't be able to attend anymore. Hopefully you can find something similar in Tennessee!
49 and Market is one of my favourites! I love their rubons - I started using them for exactly the reason you mentioned, they don't add much thickness to my memory planners. Thank you for another great video! You should just drive around doing these videos at expos, you are so good at it.
What a fun job that would be! Thanks so much!
How fun!! I have several packs of 49 and Market paper, it’s beautiful!
I wish I had know about them before - I am obsessed! I also can totally see how they fit your vibe Shannon!
Wow--thank you for bringing us along. I attended the SSBE in Pleasanton, CA, in March, and it seems that you had a lot more vendors in Virginia than we did. I look forward to attending so much each year, so it was a little disappointing to see fewer vendor booths, but I'm hopeful that it will continue to grow each year.

One of my favorite events of the year for sure - and yes, it would have been nice to see you!
I'm so mad I missed this!
Definitely check the website and put it on the calendar for next year!
Too much fun is coming to Auburn, NY May 19 & 20
YES! I hope you get a chance to go!
Really great overview of expo, my posse and i are so excited to go to the orlando expo on the 18th too...
I hope you all have a great time!
Thanks for sharing! There is one in Novi, MI this week. I've heard it is a really good one. I'm hoping to go next year.
I do hope that you get a chance to attend at some point. The energy is always great!
What a fun event, so glad you were able to go, shop and explore which is more fun with family n friends.
Totally! And it feels like the fellow crafters are all your friends as well!
Wish I could have gone....but pretty far from Columbus, OH. Hope they come to my area soon...thank you for the video.
Keep an eye on their website, they travel all over!
I loved this video; you made me even more excited to go to mine in 13 days. I was able to write down the names of some of the booths that you stopped at. I can't wait now and I look forward to seeing what you bought.
Have a great time when you go!
I was there! I actually learned about the expo from one of your old videos, so I decided to check it out for myself this year. I took my teenage daughter and we spent the whole weekend (and an embarrassing amount of mad money) there and had such a fabulous time. It is now on the calendar as an annual mother/daughter trip. 😊
I love this so much! Made me smile - I hope you had a great time!
I found one on my birthday weekend in Sacramento, CA!!! YAY!!!! Road Trip, anyone?? (I'm only in Fresno, about 2 hours or so away).
Sounds like such a fun way to spend your weekend!
Looks like so much fun, and great to see all those products in person. Love that Bible journaling booth--looks like they had great items. Looking forward to your haul video. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for coming along and watching!
I love the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo! ❤ My two BFFs are going in June to the Washington state one. Can’t wait to get my shop on. 💜💜💜
Do you know where the WA state expo is being held? I'd love to go!
That is awesome - have a great time!
Definitely go to the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo website to find out more info.
I have never heard of a scrapbooking expo. That would be something I would definitely enjoy going to. I am definitely a crafter and love trying different kinds of crafts media. But my most favorite kind of craft is making my own cards. I do a lot of rubber stamping and stenciling and have all kinds of rubber stamps, inks, embossing powders and scrapbooking papers. I have been doing this since I was in my 20's. I have a lot of different machines to make stickers and die cuts. I also have a Cricut machine that I love to use. However, since I have moved to Arkansas, I haven't been able to use any of my supplies because I still have them packed away. Living where I am has not been enjoyable. So I haven't been able to do what I like to do most. However, if given the chance to move back to where I want to go, may give me a chance to get back into doing my crafts again. I would also like to learn about all of the new products that are available and learn any other new crafts that are out there. Thank you for sharing your video. I enjoyed it immensely. I would love to go to one if they have something like that in my new area. Hopefully I'll be able to find one somewhere. Again, thank you for sharing.
Hoping that you get a chance to get back to your hobbies soon!
Wow that's awesome! Thanks for including us! ⚾️
Thanks for coming along - definitely a fun event!
Beautifully done. Thank you for filming slowly and sharing in detail all about the show. Can’t wait to go!
Yes, have a great time!!!
I just HAD to look thiamin for future expos somewhat close to where I am and there is in Sacramento california where my in-laws live, I’m October, so I’m already making plans lol this is amazing.
Yay! That is awesome! I hope that you have the best time!
Thank you for sharing - there is one scheduled in August in Schaumburg, IL that now I will have to attend - can't wait!!
Yes, go for it!!!
I was there. I thought I saw you but felt funny saying hello.
Aw, you can always say hello! I hope you had a great time!
Thank you for sharing this!! I had no idea that there was such a thing and come to find out, this same event will be in my neck of the woods in June! I’m so excited 🙌💕
Yay! I hope you have the best time!
I would to love to attend an event like this! It looks like a lot of fun.
It was a blast for sure!
OMGoodness looks like so much fun, I wanna go next year can't wait to see the haul
It was a BIG haul!!!
I love a good scrapbook expo! I always blow the budget! Looking forward to seeing what you purchased and using! I love 49 and Market too. If you like that style, you'd like Mintay!
Ooooh, I will have to check them out!
Wow!! I would love to go to some thing like that!! I look forward to the video where you show us what you bought!!
Part 2 is coming out soon!
@@ScrappyWife Yay!!
omg how fun!!! I will be attending the Mesa AZ in Sept and will be looking for 49th and market items. Last year I couldn't find any. Love your channel!
Thanks so much Claudia! So in love with 49 & Market now!!!
TFS! I’ve never been to a scrapbooking event, and they are coming to NJ in Aug YAY!,
Definitely grab a ticket!!
I am fortunate to have a local scrapbook store who carries many of the brands that you showed - Photoplay, Simple Stories, Mintay, and 49 & Market - plus others, many from other countries. I will have to check out Scrappy Boy Products and Lindy's paints. I still have my Twinklings H20 shimmering paints that I use often, so I'm anxious to watch your assessment regarding Lindy's. Scrapbook Expo does come to Mesa, AZ on an annual basis, I think around September but their website will have the details. Fun video, Elisa, and I look forward to watching your haul video!
Thanks so much Michele! You are so lucky to have that local independent store!
I found out about it at the last minute so only got to go Saturday morning. First time attending a scrapbook expo!! Wasn't too bad at the beginning (sort like your Friday) but after a few hours TONS of people were there!! I ended up picking up more than I thought once I got home 🤣Now looking to see what else may be coming to the DMV!!
Let me know if you hear about any more events!
we used to have one of these in SLC utah but not anymore I am so sad you are lucky
That stinks! These shows are always so fun!
Awww love your videos l was there wish I had gotten to meet you!😌😌😌
Yes, that would have been awesome!
Coming to Lancaster PA! Super excited!
Woohoo!!
Can you share the info, Lancaster is drivable. Thanks
Darn, I had to miss it this year…😭
Maybe next year!
I need to find something like this in my area.❤❤❤
It's so fun to go! And, I am very happy to support these small businesses!
Omg i cant wait to go to the one in NJ! Are there any other Expos like this?
I am sure there are some different ones across the country, but this is the only one I know of that comes near me...
❤lov it 😂from norway
Thanks so much for watching!
I miss the stamp and Scrap Expo in the North East.😢
Does it not go up that direction anymore?
Hi. Loved going with you on your shopping trip. I’m wondering if you know if any expo is held in Ontario Canada? TFS. Sherry from Canada 🇨🇦. All the best to you.
Canada could really use an event like this!! (I'm in vancouver)
I am not sure of any in Canada - I sure hope someone else comments and shares one!
Thank you. Hoping to attend next Friday in Orlando. Do most booths accept credit cards? Any suggestions on how to carry our purchases, especially paper.
Yes, booths all accept credit card. You actually get a bag when you register that is perfect for carrying purchases.
I always enjoyed these shows but it seems that they aren't coming back to Minnesota.
Aw, that is too bad!
Have you ever attended Wild? If so what’s your honest opinion on how well it showcases small independent planner businesses?
I have been for the past two years. It isn't really an event intended to showcase any companies in particular, as there is not any shopping at the event. It is more about coming together as a community of people who have a lot in common.
@@ScrappyWife nice! I am thinking about going if it comes back to Cali.
Sad you missed my Photo Scraps Booth
Sorry I missed it as well!
The Sweet Sentiment Stp had the 3D PIECES? Can't find online....
I’m not sure I remember…
Lovely, I miss these shows. How do I find out if they come to Colorado?
There's a link above for the expo. There it has all the sites/dates for this year. Good luck!
@@ilibertyi thank you
Yup, check the link!
@@ScrappyWife sadly nothing in Colorado
How do I find out if my area has one of these expos?
Definitely google “Stamp and Scrapbook Expo”
HELP! I Have a "ticket #", will this number let me enter the Expo?
I don't actually work for the Expo - but, I assume if you purchased the ticket, you can get in!
Just bought my ticket, What does "will call order" mean?
Was given a "will call order ticket".
What does this mean?
I imagine that means you will go to the Will Call booth at the front when you first arrive to check in 👍🏻
