Sandown Show Summary

By

We had another fantastic show at Sandown this year, with many new additions for you to enjoy! There were 35 retailers and guest artists, which inspired all of our crafters. You can see the full list of retailers here.

Gorgeous orange bags dotted the Show floor.

Here is the video that encompasses all we bring to the From Picture to Page Sandown show.

Thank you again for your continued support of our retailers and our humble craft show. We know know you can buy craft supplies online but supporting our Melbourne retailers means you are supporting small local businesses.

And attending a craft show means you can meet like minded people who share your passion for papercrafting. And understand your need to create, whether that is in the form of a scrapbook layout, a handmade greeting card or a mixed media art journal piece. All of our retailers are passionate about the product they sell and the craft classes they teach.

And WHAT a papercraft show it was! #P2PCrafts Sandown

By

Wow! What an amazing weekend we had at From Picture to Page and Beyond at Sandown 2017! And we want to send out a HUGE thank you to all of the crafters and retailers who came along and made the show such a success!

And as papercrafters and scrapbookers, we know pictures tell a thousand words!

Here we have…

  • Vicki at Papercraft Treasures

and then there was…

  • Creative Memories

And finally…

  • Lissie Lou

It was such a delightful papercrafts show! The venue at Sandown was just perfect for us that weekend. There was plenty of parking and our parking attendants did a great job to get everyone parked safely.

All crafters were delighted with the classes, mini classes, make and takes and demonstrations, which our dedicated retailers put so much effort into preparing and offering to you, across the entire weekend. Little Bits trialled their Try Me area and it was a smashing success!

There is nothing like the buzz a papercrafts show and scrapbooking expo to create an infectious excitement and so much inspiration, especially for crafters who have been around for a while. And then there are those who are new to crafting where you can come and talk with the experienced retailers; there are no questions too silly and we spend SO much money on our crafting supplies, so you need to USE them. If you have any questions the papercrafts show is a great place to talk with the retailers. And you can meet others who love their card making and Washi tape and planners!

The “Papercrafts” tag covers so many crafts: scrapbooking, cardmaking, art journaling, parchment crafts, stamping and mixed media art. a full list of retailers who attended the show is here.

And to do these crafts, we need so many different craft supplies; scrapbooking papers, cardboard, envelopes, stamps, inks, paints, embellishments, washi tape, cutting dies, embossing dies. And then there are the craft tools you need to make these work to their full potential; die cutters, paper cutters, electronic cutters, brayers, scissors, paint brushes, sponges and so many more.

All of these were on offer at the Sandown Picture to Page show.

We also had fantastic catering from the Highways Hotel team – no one went hungry, unless they were too busy shopping, playing and taking classes! And we can’t help you there!!

So pencil in the dates for 2018 – we will be back on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 October 2018 in the Multi-Purpose room. And bigger and better things planned!

Happy crafting,

Michelle
