Supplies to bring
Basic supply kit - scissors, wet and dry adhesives, bone folder, dimensionals
Shoebox Project Information: May be any card or project of your choice Holiday Included. Shoebox does not have to be a card.
This is the only mandatory part of the day which will take place on our schedule in the morning and afternoon. ***All shoebox projects should have individual pre-made kits so participants can take the supplies in case they don't finish all projects. For each kit, put all of the precut paper pieces, ribbons and embellishments needed to make your project into a ziplock style bag, an envelope to keep the finished project in or even a junk mail return envelope. You may also pre-stamp any pieces. It’s much quicker to have all of the pieces already sorted out and bagged than it is to have to dig through multiple bags of supplies looking for what you need. You will need an extra bag or envelope with extra pieces for “oopsies”.
**Please have your shoebox completely prepared and ready to go when you arrive for the gathering. If you don't arrive with a completed and ready to go shoebox project, your tablemates are not obligated to allow you to do the project they have prepared. Prepared means having all of the elements of your pre planned project prepared and ready for your tablemates. Tossing a bunch of random supplies on the table and instructing people to "create whatever they would like" is not acceptable. Please be considerate of others and extend the courtesy of having your shoebox project ready when you arrive. Thanks!!**
*Your shoebox project can be anything stamped* It does not have to be a card.
• If you are making a card, we will make FULL cards using at least one embellishment (ribbon, brads, buttons, etc).• Quality CS is a MUST! This means your base cardstock should be strong enough to hold up your card for display. • Please have all card pieces pre-cut. • Please bring stamps or other items for your project • Please include instructions (aka: recipes), tips and any other important information." • Please bring four extra completed shoe box projects. You will use one as your sample at your table, two for hostess gifts and one for a door prize. • You may make other projects keeping in mind it should not take more than 10-12 mins to complete.
We will be voting on the best shoebox project for a prize.

Is it too late to sign up, Joanne? I wouldn't be able to get my payment to you by today, but could get it in the mall today. If it's not too late I'd like to participate in the 6x6 recipe swap, the holiday gift tag swap and the holiday gift card holder swap. Sorry for the late notice . . . going through some stuff and wasn't sure if I should sign up or not.
