Hey, Scrappers!
It is a new year, so it is time for a new recipe book! This year we will be doing Seasonal Favorites. I have a few lined up for January/Febuary, but I'd like to have some of your recipes to include. Please email to me any recipe you like to cook on a wintery day or your Valentine's Day favorites. SRoss3456@aol.com. It will be fun to have a lot more recipes from the Scrappers this time. If you haven't signed up for the class yet, give me a call or email. Also, please let me know if you are making more than one book this time so that I can make sure to prepare enough kits.
Lane is working on a mini album this weekend -- all about her New Year's resolutions. The mini album is a perfect brag book. Very cute. Lane, you need to do a class on this! Hint, hint...
later, swr

RE: Happy New Year
Hello, Scrappers:
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Frankly, I have enjoyed all I can stand! I cooked so much food this season...my mother has a freezer full of good things.
I saw the movie about Julia Childs -- "Julie/Julia." I really enjoyed it. If you get a chance, you should watch it. If you like to cook, you'll like the movie.
Don't forget that our new recipe book will be 8.5" x 11". We will be doing seasonal foods each month, so our first section will be New Year's/January foods. We are going to try to focus on a new technique each class. Please email me any recipes you would like included at SRoss3456@aol.com. I'd like to make sure everyone gets in the new book.

RE: Revised class schedule
Dear Scrappers:
Because we missed last week, we have revised the class schedule for November. Next Sunday, November 1st, we will have a class featuring a gift bag with tag, gift card holders, and a Chinese takeout box (cookie or candy gift box.) The CTB can be used to present any small gift, but works well for food gifts because it is slightly waxed inside. If you haven't registered with Denise for this class, you can see her at the office or email me at SRoss3456@aol.com.
On Sunday, November 8th, we will be having a class featuring a two-page layout with a holiday theme. We have an opening on Sunday, November 15th for another class. Please give me your feedback ASAP at SRoss3456@aol.com on what you would like to see - another layout, cards, or gift packaging. Saturday, November 21st, Lane, Denise, Delores, and I will have a booth at the Caverna Christmas Bazaar, so don't forget to stop by. Undecided about Sunday, November 22nd...
December 6th will be the cookie swap. On that day, we will be making a quick paperbag scrapbook. If you don't want to make your own cookies, I'm sure Gallery Bakery can fix you up. Also, Alma would probably be glad to do any of your holiday cooking -- Denise can give you her contact info. After the swap, you will have a nice tray of cookies for Christmas AND a cute mini scrapbook.
These are the dates we have finalized for the rest of the year so far. We will try to plug in as many dates before the holidays as possible, so just keep checking the blog. January starts our new Recipe Club and Layout-of-the-Month. Just a reminder that the new recipe book will be 8.5" x 11". Each month, our book will feature seasonal recipes that we would traditionally serve that month. I already know my recipe for January is a soup. Please email your recipes to me at SRoss3456@aol.com as soon as you decide. I want to make sure everyone is represented in the new book as often as possible. BTW, the layouts will be 12" x 12". My goal is to make the elements of the layouts work on a 5" x 7" card as well.
hope to see you Sunday! swr

RE: Bows
Hi!
Please put a fork in your kit for this weekend. Those tiny little bows are always hard to tie, but I learned a new technique tonight that makes it so easy. Don't know why I didn't think of this before.
see you then, swr

RE: Recipe Club Saturday
Hello Scrappers:
Don't forget that Recipe Club is Saturday, September 12th, at 10 AM at Dennison's Market. Here is a list of things you will probably want to bring in addition to your regular kit: Crystal Lacquer pens, white Souffle pen, brown gel pen, a tapestry needle (sorry Denise!) and an eraser. We will have all this for you to use, but bring your own if you have it. I'll add to the list later this week if need be.
Also, don't forget that Sunday, October 4th is our next card/layout class. We are planning to do a two-page layout and two cards using similar techniques. Time saving, LOL!!! If you haven't already signed up, please let us know so that we can have your kit available.
I am adding a new site to our links tonight -- Studio Calico. Lane has been getting some beautiful things from them every month and their site has a lot of great ideas. They are based in Bowling Green, too! They have a nice service, so check them out.
K ladies, later, swr

RE: July Already!
Hi, Scrappers!
Most of you know that I have been out-of-town, but I'm back and ready to get going again. Don't forget the Recipe Club on July 11th. Please call in advance at 270-774-2666 (Susan) because the class is already full. However, we will make sure to squeeze you in if you'd like to get started. We will finish this book in October for Christmas giving, and our next book starts in November. The format will be pretty much the same, so if you'd like to start now, just let me know.
We will have some examples from our first Christmas class and some items that we will have at the Heritage Festival with us Saturday.
Later this afternoon or tonight, I will post pics from Denise's vacation album. Not all the photos are in place yet, but...it is the cutest album I've seen in a long time! We will have a vacation scrap at the end of the month if you are interested.
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday! later, sw

RE: I'll be back in the Cave soon!
Dear Scrappers:
Just a note to let you know that I will be back in the Cave this weekend. I have quite a lot of posting to catch up with when I get home. Our last class at Scrap Happy last Saturday was so much fun. We finished seven pages with only a quick lunch break. I have lots of pics on my camera I'll post Sunday. Also, we announced that we will have our next Recipe Club meeting at Dennison's Roadside Market on July 11th. Next month will also be Christmas in July -- check back here for the dates and times. I think this group of projects will be a lot of fun and will cover some more new techniques that can be used in all your pages and projects. One of our Christmas gift projects will require a glass jar with a screw-top lid, so start saving your mayo (or whatever)jars.
Lane and I did manage to fit in a trip to Creative Stamper in Fort Mitchell and to Scraps, Etc. in Florence. Wow!!! Lots to show you next week.
talk to you Sunday, swr

RE: Last minute update
Dear Scrappers:
Sorry for the late notice, but I thought I'd let you know that we are getting together this afternoon (Sunday) at 2:00 PM at Scrap Happy for a scrapping session. We are going to be working on all the extra kits people purchased from the last three classes, plus some clipboards. Anything you want to bring will be okay. Also, yesterday I finally broke down and purchased a Cuttlebug with 'several' embossing plates. I'll bring that down today if you would like to use it. Most of the plates I purchased are geared toward the 4x6 or 5x7 card front background -- because cards are Lane's thing -- but I did get some borders/corner clips/phrases.
Also, you can sign up today if you want to come to Recipe Club next Saturday. Just call the shop (786-2009) or me (774-2666) or send me an email at SRoss3456@aol.com.
See you there if you can make it.

RE: Recipe Club and Scrap Happy news
Happy Memorial Day!
I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. Denise and I spent the day cooking up the next pages for Recipe Club. Don't forget that we are Grillin' on June 6th at 10:00 AM. Please call the shop at 786-2009 or email me if you haven't already signed up. More about this later...
This is a picture of the layout (in progress) at our class last Sunday. This picture doesn't do the pages justice -- they all turned out so cute. Everyone had a chance to personalize their layout a little with various punches/metallic distressing, etc. Everyone finally got a chance to use the Scor-Pal to emboss the background pages and to try out the Scor-Bug for perforating paper for stitching. The Scor-Bug makes perfectly spaced indentions to make decorative stitching so easy. If you use the Scor-Bug, then turn the page over, you have an embossed dotted Swiss pattern. I just love this new tool. (And, I did get a chance to use those cereal boxes I've been saving to cut the star journaling tags. The weight of the cardboard in those boxes cuts easily in the Cricut, so keep on recycling!)
The cuts on the above pages are from Uncle Sam's Extravaganza I, II, and III. If you have Sure Cuts A Lot, the .svg files are available at www.svgcuts.com I have all three bundles if you are interested in getting any of these cuts. Just let me know at SRoss3456@aol.com. These files are used with the Cricut and SCAL. I get a lot of files from svgcuts.com. Their product is among the best of the svg cuts and the service is great. Anyway, Uncle Sam's has a lot of cuts that will work for summer, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, tribute pages, etc. I just pulled out some of my nephew's military pictures, so check back here to see a tribute page to the Army Special Forces.
The blog has been silent for a few days while the ladies at Scrap Happy ladies made some decisions. I guess by now most of you know that SH will be closing it's door on June 26th. We have ALL enjoyed our time at Scrap Happy and will really miss the shop, as well as Ericia, Jennifer, and Denise Ballard. Denise Branstetter, Lane, and I have had such a good time helping out at SH and working the classes. We love to papercraft and we thoroughly enjoy spending time with our fellow scrappers. Thanks to Scrap Happy for giving us the opportunity.
That being said, don't fear! We will be having Recipe Club at the shop as usual on the 6th. We are planning to continue Recipe Club (and other activities) at a different location. At this time, we are working out the details, so keep checking here for news. In the meantime, please stop by Scrap Happy to participate in their storewide sale. If you are not already on the mailing list, please drop me a note at SRoss3456@aol.com OR scraphappy@scrtc.com so we can keep in touch.
Things always change, but I believe the interest and the friendships will remain.

Red, White & Blue
Hello, Scrappers!
Just a quick update to let you know that we will be having a class this Sunday at 2:00 PM at the shop featuring red, white, and blue scrapbooking. We will make two 12 x 12 scrapbook pages, plus Lane will have a couple of cards made with the elements of the pages. We are incorporating two fun techniques in the class that you can use in all your papercrafting, so I hope to see you there.
The cost of the class is $10, which includes everything you need to finish the two pages except your own photos. Please email me at SRoss3456@aol.com or call me at 270-774-2666 to register for the class. Feel free to leave a message if I don't answer. You can also call Scrap Happy at 270-786-2009. Erricia will be in Friday and Jennifer will be there Saturday to help you. If you are planning to attend, please bring your regular kit (scissors, cutting mat and knife, adhesive, and glue/glue pen.) In addition, you might want to bring 2 sheets of regular lined notebook paper, a gold metallic stamp pad, an emery board, and an embossing tool. If you don't have any of the last items, don't worry...they will be available for your use at the shop.
Also, I will have my collection of patriotic stamps available for you to use at the shop this weekend. The stamps are custom order only, but you are welcome to use mine this weekend if you would like to stamp a page or two of red, white, and blue elements to use on your pages or cards for the summer.
Wow! Summer just crept up on us, but we have some really fun things in the works for the summer months. Don't forget Recipe Club is GRILLIN' this month and the date is June 6th.
Please get me your recipes ASAP so that we can include them in the layout for next month. Looks like this will be our biggest section yet.
I hope to see you all Sunday. Red, white, and blue wear is optional. ;)))

Quick Graduation BBQ Invitation
Hello, Scrappers!
Here is a really quick image of an invitation I used a few years ago for my daughter's and nephew's graduation BBQ party -- if you want a MS WORD editable doc of this clipart or invite, just email me as I seem to be having trouble posting it here. I will have two new grilling cuts on Saturday at recipe club, but I haven't finished the prototype yet.
The flower pot class will not be held until Thursday night at 5:00. We will have kits for the Mother's Day Hat and Mother's Day Flower Pot cards at that time. These projects are pretty quick, but they take a lot of advance preparation, so please give me an email or a call at SRoss3456@aol.com or 270-774-2666 to give me some idea what you might need. If you can't scrap on Thursday, then I'll be glad to help you Saturday either before or after Recipe Club. The flower pots -- and the cards, for that matter -- will work well for a gift for a lot of occasions besides Mother's Day, so you might want to change your sentiment.
Lane and Peyton made a really cute golf-related card this week. It is a very cute idea for a page or a Father's Day card, using eyelets, a toothpick, and a brad. And, don't forget Ladie's Day!
Please remember Jim, Delores, and family in your thoughts and prayers. I hope we hear some good news tonight.

Recipe Club and a Surprise
Good morning from Horse Cave and Scrap Happy!
This month our regular date (first Saturday) for Recipe Club happened to fall on April 4th, which is the birthday of one of our regulars, Delores Reed. Delores is Denise Branstetter's mother so a little recipe-themed surprise party was in order. Our recipe section this month was Soups and Salads -- Denise Branstetter contributed the Grape Salad recipe (shown in the previous post) so she made a some delicious grape salad to go with my Vanilla Pound Cake mini bundt cakes. I can't claim any great recipe other than Tastefully Simple! The class members filled a paint can and a basket with assorted scrapbooking goodies for Delores. When Delores arrived, she was greeted with quite a surprise! I think Delores had a nice birthday and I know the class enjoyed it, too. (I heard someone asking if we would be having samples of a recipe from next months recipes...;)) Again, Happy Birthday, Delores!
I have posted above some pics from the class. Our next meeting will be moved to the second Saturday, May 9th, when we will be working on Main Course. Please check here for more details.
