This year's Big Stamp and Scrapbook show attracted the largest number of attendants to date. The event, which ran from 30th September to 1st October, was the biggest in its history, with over 6,500 craft enthusiasts attending during the two days.
Over 60retailers from across the UK showcased a collection of card making, scrapbooking and varied craft products and there was plenty of opportunity for visitors to get some ‘hands on’ experience.
The venue, Alexandra Palace in London, provided both exhibitors and visitors with an excellent backdrop to what has become the premier event for paper crafts enthusiasts of all abilities. “What a fantastic day out! It’s safe to say that the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Show has everything you could possibly need for card making, scrapbooking and paper crafting,” comments Emma Proctor of Northants.
In addition to the retail stalls, there was also numerous product demonstrations taking place throughout the weekend, providing advice, tips and inspiration from experts on a huge variety of crafts and techniques.
Also, new to the show this year was the ATC ‘Make and Take’ and trading area, where everyone was welcome to join in and try their hand at this new crafting craze. This addition to the show proved to be extremely popular with crafters young and old, and is something that will be repeated at future Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Shows.
In light of this success, those attending are already looking forward to the first of next year's Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Shows, which will be held on the weekend of 14th and 15th of April 2007. The autumn show will take place on 29th and 30th September. These events will showcase the latest craft products, free demonstrations and advice from experienced crafters.
