ICHF - International Craft + Hobby Fair March 2012

I would like to thank Ali and Ian the owners of Ali-Craft for inviting me to be their resident demonstrator at the ICHF Hobbycraft show at the NEC Birmingham.  Thank you Ian for giving up your demo spot too :-) .
Ali and Ian are a major UK supplier of the Graphic 45 papers and staples, and during their visit to CHA 2012 held in Anaheim, CA, USA visited the Graphic 45 booth.  

This was the first major craft show I've demonstrated at, and over four days met some fabulous crafters and hosted over 25 workshops where we made the June tag from my "2012 Collection of Tags". 

Some of my Graphic 45 albums and altered projects were on the stand  for fellow crafters to have a look at. They attracted a huge amount of interest, and inspired others to work with these amazing papers.

I'd like to thank everyone who joined in the workshops, and for stopping by the stand and having a chat.  It was lovely to meet you all and share tips and ideas with others.

Here are a few pictures from the show.

  6. Hi Clare it was a pleasure to meet you at the NEC on Thursday. Unfortunately I couldn't do one of your workshops as I was working with Kay. I have tried to become a follower of your blog but don't know where to as there doesn't seem to be a place to sign up.

    I am the lady who made the samples for Ali and Iain. :)
