Last weekend, the Creating Keepsakes Convention was held in Bellevue, WA, and a few Smilebox employees were lucky enough to attend.
If you’ve never been before or you didn’t get to go this year, check out the CKC commentary by our very own Kinsey!
What did you like most about the convention?
Kinsey: The variety. There were so many booths set up. Each one with a unique style of offerings, from rubber stamps and ribbons to entire scrapbooking kits.
What was the coolest thing you saw at the convention?
Kinsey: The skinny cow table with free skinny cow ice cream! But, seriously… There was one booth that focused on greeting cards and rubber stamps. The cards were very intricate. I was impressed.
What would you have liked to see at the convention that they did not have?
Kinsey: More innovation. With our economy these days, and technology always improving, there is so much potential to expand with new ideas. I was hoping to see more digital options.
What tips would you recommend to first-time attendees?
Kinsey: Go green and bring your own reusable shopping bag. Bring comfy shoes, you might have to park offsite and walk in, and there will be a lot of walking around all of the booths.
