Good times!  Lots of laughing, prize-winning, making and taking, experimenting, painting, scrapping, sewing, learning…definitely more creative inspiration packed into one place that you could even imagine!

At the Lisa Liza Lou booth, all the C&T surfaces were shining brightly. Our demo table was full all day, literally not one minute passed where there weren’t people learning about new surfaces, paints, mediums and techniques. You can catch videos here on our YouTube channel of the booth before the show opened, plus a quick interview with artist Sarah Hodsdon, who spent the first couple hours of the show at our demo table, painting a Ready-to-Go! Blank Canvas Book that will be auctioned off tomorrow night at a charity raffle.

Jan paints a board book

Also at our table was the host of the Diva Craft Lounge, Danielle Forsgren. She painted a fabulous canvas book, using lots of yummy Liquitex® Iridescent Medium for extra diva sparkle! And joining them to play was Jan Mollet Evans, author of C&T title “Scrap Your Stuff.” Jan painted a gorgeous pattern on a Ready-to-Go! Blank Board Book.

Marcie holds court and shows folks how to burn lacey effects into Lutradur

In the afternoon, our friends and Creative Troupers Marcie Krezel and Toy Jalanugraha rocked the demos with Lutradur® flowers and painted collage on fabric, using Liquitex paints, inks and mediums.

Toy's collage techniques were a real crowd-pleaser!

Day 2 promises to be even BIGGER…off to get some rest!
