Last Wednesday night we attend an exclusive event to view the Scotch and Post-It Brands 2015 product collection at The Glass Houses in New York City. It was quite the night of creativity and learning!
The first station we visited featured guest blogger and do-it-yourselfer Jenni Radosevich from I Spy DIY. The table was full on Scotch Brand Expressions Glitter Tapes, Metallic Tapes, Washi Tapes and more! Be Your Best Mom Contributing Writer Marcia crafted 2 cards with her Expression Tapes while I put together this bracelet. Who knew we could be so crafty! It was fun and easy with Scotch Expressions Tapes!
The next station featured Post-it’s Color Collections, Post-it Big Pads and Post-it Dry Erase Surface (I’ll get to this one later!) Dr. Michelle Borba was eagerly awaiting to talk to us about how to use Post-It products to get kids to learn and be excited while learning. I loved her insight on brain storming and team building in the classroom and at home. I homeschool and I’m always looking for new ways to make learning fun while retaining information. My favorite tip was to use Post-It Message Flags. “Tell kids”don’t highlight” but tab “ur keepers” [key facts 2 learn]-review tabs-better retention!” – Dr. Michelle Borba
My all time favorite product: Post-it Dry Erase Surface. This is an instant and flexible whiteboard solution. It comes in a roll and can be customized. Just unroll, peel and stick. You can use it on walls, tables, etc. Peel it off and reuse!. I can’t wait to get this one! There are so many uses from homeschooling, family schedules, business and so much more. We also had a lesson on using the Post-it Plus App! Brainstorming at work using Post-its and need to bring them home? Simple, take a photo, ( It can capture as many as 50 Post-its at a time) Collect and combine ides from various captures and organize. Share in a Powerpoint, Excel, Dropbox, PDF and more. I can’t wait to start using this one! Available for free from the App Store!
We then got creative in the kitchen with the new Scotch PRO Thermal Laminator! No envelope needed! Just place the item you wish to laminate in a Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouch and go! NO BUBBLES! I chose a baking conversion chart and Marcia chose a build your lunch menu for kids. Just place on your fridge and use a dry erase marker to have your child mark off what they would like in their lunch box! Make weekly menus, placemats, chore charts and you are set!
I was also excited about the Scotch Expressions Chalkboard and Dry Erase Tapes! These make organizing a breeze and you can reuse them again and again. The non-crafty side of me was excited about Scotch Essentials. Available at Rite-Aid these products make everyday wardrobe solutions a snap! No sewing needed! Just stick and fix! Easy Fix Button, Adjustable Hem tape, Hold Tight Strap Clips and more! I’m not handy with a needle so these are a God send!

What a fun event that was! I wish they would come do one in Boston 🙂
Oh I’m with you – chalk tape – white board tape!! My kids are going to love this tape too!
I LOVE Post-It notes and now the geek in me kinda wants to use a bunch to put the periodic table of elements on a wall in my home.
I’ve always loved Post-It and Scotch brand anything. Looks like they’ve come up with everything you need to stay organized and have fun while you’re at it!
I’m a huge fan of Scotch brand products. I’ll have to check out the Dry Erase Tapes! That would be a great way to get some of my office cubbies organized!
This looks like a lot of fun! I love Post-It notes and Scotch tape! I’m excited about the chalkboard tape and the dry erase tape!
Ooh, I love office supplies and am going to check out that chalkboard tape! This sounds like an amazing event – would be great to do one in San Diego 🙂
I am a teacher, post it notes are my life. Love the periodic table!!!
I use both Products and I must say I love how versatile they are. They are great for even kids. I’m glad you had a great time at the Event
I wish i lived closer to a big city that hosted brand events like this. Love to get my craft on with the ladies
i love scotch and post it products! Seriously a staple in our house!
Post-It Notes are one of my favorite ways to keep track of what I’m doing. I have to write notes for everything.
I would be lost without my Post It Notes! The tape ideas are so fun!
Post-It really has come a long way. Lots of fun products are popping up that I would love to see at one of these events.
This looks like a lot of fun! I’ve gone to an event at The Glass Houses before – such a great view!
I don’t know what I’d do without my Post-it notes! I live and die by the notes I leave for myself.
Post It Notes are my favorite!! I literally have a dozen different stacks laying around the house!
Who could live without post-its? I always have a supply on hand, especially with school age kids in the house.
This is an amazing event! Thanks for sharing all of these photos to show us these creative activities. 🙂
Love the post it roll out white board. I love those things…. I have tons of white boards in my house.
My son’s teacher probably gets tired of me sending her post-its, lol. I do love them though. The newer see through ones are my fave. This looks like a fun event!
What a great experience. They have really expanded their product line, looks great!
How fun this looks. I love scotch products too. You guys are so creative!
