Westminster, MD Springtime Shoebox Swap - Saturday 27 April 2013

[Cathleen7]

--> Directions to the swap can now be found in post #46.


Hi stampers!

I'll be hosting a Stampin' Up! shoebox card swap on Saturday, 27 April 2013 from 9am-3pm at Grace Fellowship Chapel in Westminster. There's room for 25 people, with each person bringing a shoebox swap for everyone to make, and something from the food & refreshment list below to share. I'll provide the pizza for lunch. There will be an $8.00 charge to cover the cost of the church.

All cards are to be full cards. The themes for the swap will be birthday, baby, or shower cards. Please bring enough supplies for everyone to make your card, including all card stock, patterned paper, stamps, inks, embellishments, and tools. Include one completed sample, along with stamping and assembly directions, in your shoebox. Please make sure that all of your supplies are labeled with your name or initials, in case items tend to wander during the day. In addition to your card kits and supplies, bring your own adhesive, scissors, pop dots, glue dots, and bone folder to use throughout the day. All cards should be made using Stampin' Up! stamps, card stock, papers and inks. The stamp sets can be current or retired. No restrictions on embellishments.

Please sign up via this on-line thread if you'd like to join us. Tell a friend too! When you sign up, please indicate what you can bring to share from the suggested list below. After you sign up, I'll send you a registration form, and will confirm your seat once you return your form and payment. If you find that you have to cancel after you've paid, I'll refund your money only if I'm able to fill your seat with someone else. I will start a waiting list if necessary.

Hi!
I wish I knew, but I am drawing a blank right now. maybe the fact that I'm moving my crafting room from the cellar to the second floor and all is chaos isn't helping.
Will be getting it together soon! Can't wait!

[pamparto]

Hi Cathy, I haven't received the registration form. Pam

[Cathleen7]

Pam - oh, so sorry! I'm in SC this weekend visiting my son, but will send you the form when I get home on Monday. Thanks for the reminder! Cathy

[Cathleen7]

Hi everyone - our swap is coming up in just about a month Thanks to those who have paid, and if others could send their payments and registration forms to me, that would be great. If you haven't signed up for a pot luck item, please take a look at the list in post #1 and select something you'd like to bring. Thanks - wishing a Happy Easter to all! Cathy

[joppastamper]

Laura

[Cathleen7]

Laura - absolutely! I'll put you on the list and let you know if a spot opens up. Thanks, Cathy

[joppastamper]
