Good evening, Scrappers:
I've talked to several of you, but this is a reminder that we a having class this Sunday at 2:00 PM at the Horse Cave Baptist Church. We are making three cards, plus a fourth little surprise. Don't forget to come early if you would like to use the items in the supply box or use the Cuttlebugs. We will be there by 1:00 to help out.
I'm reviewing the cards this evening to make sure that I've got the tools, etc., lined up. I'll post after if I find that you need anything extra. I think it is only 64 days until Christmas. We need to get that holiday postponed so we can do all the projects I have in mind!
later, swr

RE: Altered items
Dear Scrappers:
Don't forget that we are having a class this weekend featuring a winter card, a Chritmas card and a Christmas thank you note. This week, Hobby Lobby has a 40% off one item coupon. It would be a great time to pick up some blank cards and envelopes if you are planning to make multiple cards. Until we started making kits for the classes, I didn't realize how much less expensive it is to start with a blank card and envelope rather than make them from scratch. You will save a minimum of $1 (up to $1.80) per card by using the pre-made bases. That helps when you are making multiple cards!
Before I forget, here is a nice little website for some pdf files. You do have to hand cut them, but they are cute. I have already made the daisy embellishments this weekend. I think they can substitute for a bow on your holiday packaging. If you can cut a circle, you can make these. http://www.kaisercraft.net/project-sheets/paper-crafts
On October 25th, we will be working on gift bags, gift tags, and gift card holders. Some of you know that I make my gift card holders using the cardboard core from inside bathroom tissue and paper towels. Please save up a couple of these to bring to class if you can. I have some for you, but you are welcome to use the items in our club box to make a few extras while you are there. These holders are handy to have around all year for birthdays, graduation, etc.
I also wanted to remind you to save your Crystal Light and Pringles cans. Papercrafts magazine did a section on packaging food gifts this month and there they were! With a little paper and a few embellishments, you can make a beautiful and sturdy gift container for cookies, nut mix, etc., and they are great for mailing gifts. I'll bring you a sample at the gift bag class -- easy peasy.
Not too early to start working on Christmas stuff!
hope to see you this weekend, swr

RE: Card Class Sunday
Hello Scrappers,
The blog is back! If you didn't know, Denise and I had a booth at the Heritage Festival last week with cards, gift bags, gift card holders, etc. We gave away a gift basket of our papeterie -- over 300 people registered, so it was a busy weekend. The fun thing was that our booth won first place in small business. We weren't even thinking about that. Scrappers Gone Wild!
Put a note on your calendar for November 24th. The First Annual Caverna Christmas Bazaar will be happening at the Caverna High School Gym from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Denise, Lane, and I are planning to have a booth there, as well. If you want any further information, please contact Sherry Emmitt or Vickie Bunch at (270)773-2530. This should be a good time to see what's up with all our local talent -- and just in time for the holidays!
On to the business at hand...our next card class is Sunday, October 4th, at 2:00 PM at Dennison's Market. We will be doing two Christmas cards and one Halloween card. The cost is $12. If you haven't already registered, please email me or stop by Hensley & Ross to see Denise anytime during business hours. (FYI, Denise goes to lunch from 11 -12.) While I was working this weekend, I used a variety of adhesives, so bring whatever you have. If you have Terifically Tacky Tape, you might want to bring it. Also, you might want to add a pair of tweezers and an old eyeshadow brush (bristles) to your kit.
I finally got my Halloween/Fall Cuttlebug folders! If anyone wants to use them, I will have them with me on Sunday. Bring whatever cardstock you want to use. The autumn cuts are leaves and pumpkins with vines, so any of the orange, brown, greens, burgandy, etc. colors will work. Halloween colors are the usual -- black, white, orange, yellow, greens, and purple. I've also ordered an overall pumpkin embossing folder, and if it comes by Sunday, I will have that with me, too.
I'm sure I will have more to add to the list by Sunday, so keep checking. Hope to see you then.
