Kicking off our conference, you won’t want to miss our Welcome Keynote Dinner!

Keynote Welcome Dinner

The opening night is always the most exciting!  Meeting up with new and old friends while we all anticipate the creative magic about to take place.

Cristina Ferrare

Holly Becker

During our Keynote Dinner, I’m going to sit back and soak up the stories of the extraordinary Cristina Ferrare and the amazing Holly Becker.  Both have multi-media success, it will be hard not to be a little star struck.  I love learning more about the people I admire and how their creative passion formed who they are and what they have accomplished.

Have you signed up?  Registration is open!   We’ve opened the gates!  If you’re on the fence about whether or not this conference is for you, come on over to our facebook page. Not only are we there to answer your questions, but there are TCC veterans who can give you their perspective. Not that anyone will need to twist your arm.

Last year while attending, I was very impressed with the Keynote events.  This year will be no different.  Our Keynote events bring together great food, great design and great information from our panel of experts.

Our first Keynote Luncheon has 3 women I have admired for a long time.  I can’t wait to sit back and listen to what they have to share about creating a business from their creative ideas.

Becky Higgins-

If you’re a paper crafter or scrapbooker, then there is no doubt that you know who Becky is.  She is passionate about documenting life and has created many products to help others do the same.  I recently met Becky in Arizona where I found her advice very useful. She is as sweet as she looks.

Stacy Julian-

Another name from my previous scrapbooking addiction. Although she had planned to become a nurse, she was casually invited to a rubber stamp party that changed the course of her life. This eventually led her to the super-cool job where I became to know her, as editor of a scrapbooking magazine. She is now the founder of Big Picture Scrapbooking, where she to helps you document life.  If you like color, then you’ll enjoy Stacy!

Nora Abousteit

Nora is the co-founder of BurdaStyle. “BurdaStyle uses the web to bring the craft of sewing to a new generation of designers, hobbyists, DIYers and anyone looking to sew.”

It’s no wonder her site is ranked one of the top sewing and pattern websites.  She has pages and pages of patterns, information and style.  We are excited for Nora to share her experience on how she created and built the BurdaStyle Community.

This is just one of the many Keynote events we have planned for you at THE CREATIVE CONNECTION. Each keynote will leave you refueled, inspired and ready for more.

The excitement is building! THE CREATIVE CONNECTION  EVENT 2011 will be here before you know it! Mark your calendars for September 15th-17th and we’ll see you in St. Paul, MN.

We have been working feverishly to bring you an inspiring event that will leave you with a clearer vision of your true creativity.Creative Connection handmade market Whether you dabble in mixed media, jewelry making, stitching or knitting, you’re bound to find classes that tickle your fancy. Don’t be surprised if you come away with new handmade skills.

THE CREATIVE CONNECTION offers more than mere instruction in creating handmade treasures. You’ll find yourself surrounded by women who share a like-minded desire for living a creative life. THE CREATIVE CONNECTION not only creates beautiful art, but also beautiful relationships.The Creative Connection Friends

Shopping handmade goods in the Market Place means supporting true artists while finding one-of-a-kind accessories, jewelry and other items that reflect your unique style.
At every turn, you’ll find treasures that entice all five of the senses. You’ll be “wowed” by the menus and table settings of our keynote events.
Last year while attending THE CREATIVE CONNECTION as one of the social media “correspondents,” I met so many wonderful people who I now consider life-long friends. The event was truly a “my cup runneth over” moment. This September can only get better. In addition to partnering with BlogHer, TCC has added VOGUEknitting Day, MaryJanesFarm Day and Pitch Slams. The lineup is guaranteed to make you hyperventilate with anticipation! I can’t wait for September. I hope you’ll join me.
