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.
Happy New Year, 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: Whoops!
I made a mistake in the last post. We will be doing future classes at the Horse Cave Baptist Church. I don't know how I got that wrong! Anyway, the Baptist Church has graciously offered to let us have our classes there and I certainly appreciate their hospitality.
Just thought I'd correct my mistake.

RE: Class schedule for October, November, and December
Hello, Scrappers!
Denise and I made up a schedule of classes tonight. We will be having our card class this Sunday, October 4th, of course. On October 18th, we will have a class featuring three more holiday cards -- winter, Christmas, and Christmas thank you note. On October 25th, we will be doing a gift bag, gift card holder, and gift tag. On November 1st, we will have a class to make a two-page layout with a Christmas theme. November 15th, we will make a cookie box with gift card and another Christmas card. Please email me to register at SRoss3456@aol.com as soon as possible -- we are making the kits now. Class size is limited.
On December 6th, we are having a cookie swap! You will be asked to bring a copy of your recipe and one dozen cookies for each person participating in the swap. We are planning to make a quick mini cookbook with these recipes. More details about the swap are forthcoming in a later post. Please register by November 1st. You can email me or stop by the office (Hensley & Ross)to see Denise. As soon as you register, we will provide you with your recipe cards/template for your page. Also, please let us know what cookie you will be making when you register -- we are trying to avoid duplication. You can make any kind of cookie you like. It would be a good idea to chose a cookie that freezes well. At this point, we are planning to have the cookie swap at the Methodist Church in Horse Cave. Pending any activities at the church, we may have to move this date by a day or two. More about this later.
I would like to do one more class before the holidays featuring another two-page layout. Still pondering the date. I love cards, etc., but I would like to have a few Christmas pages ready for photos by Christmas week. If I have my pages in mind, I am much more likely to remember to snap the picture!
As you know if you have been coming to the class, Denise and I have been collecting tools and supplies that belong to the club. We would like you to be able to use these items to make your cookie recipe page or any project you have going. We will be at Dennison's an hour before class this Sunday if you would like to come early to use these supplies. We will also have two Cuttlebugs with lots of folders available for you to use. BYOC. (Bring Your Own Cardstock!) If you have any questions, just email me or call me at 270-774-2666.
After the cookie swap, we are planning to take a break until January. In January, we will begin our new recipe book. We have changed the format a little bit -- for the next book, we will be doing seasonal recipes for that month. That will give us a chance for some holiday treats and some good home cooking. The new book will be an 8.5 x 11 book. If you want to participate, you can pick up your own scrapbook between now and then. You might also want to pick up extra page refills to go in your binder at that time. Readily available at WalMart, Scrapbook Village, Hobby Lobby, etc.
Also in January, I would like to start doing a two-page layout class each month. I think we all use 12 x 12 pages. Email me if you are interested in the layout of the month club.
Things get busy this time of year. I just wanted to give you a heads up on our schedule so that you can make your plans.
Hope to see you Sunday! 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.

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

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.
More later, swr
