candlequeen5 · 07-19-2011, 10:13 AM

Hello Ladies,

I know many of you aren't interested in a whole weekend retreat, but wanted to let you know we still have openings for the Shoebox Swap on Saturday, October 22nd from 9am-4pm

What is a Shoebox Swap?? You design one card, then cut materials for 20 more of the same card (you can bring them in a "shoebox" for easy transport). Each person attending will make your card and you get to make everyone else's! See below for full details...if you are new to card making and would like some help designing I would be happy to help!!

Cost is just $15...includes lunch (add $7 if you want to stay for supper too).

Let me know if you want to sign up!---There is still room for the Retreat too!! (registration form attached) Early registration discount extended to THIS Saturday (7/22)...sign up TODAY!!

Thanks,
Crystal

There are only 20 slots for the Shoebox Swap�if you are attending the Retreat you get your spots first.

Card Swap Details

This is a full card swap.
Cards should be a minimum of 2 layers of card stock and must include an embellishment.
You will need to supply all materials necessary for your card - this includes card stock {cut to your cards size}, stamps, inks, embellishments, etc�.
Please use good quality materials and make sure papers are cut nicely.
Put all the pieces necessary for the card into individual plastic baggies for each participant.
Cards should be able to be completed in 10-15 minutes. If your card has many steps and requires more time, you may want to pre-stamp or preassemble some items for the other stampers to ensure everyone can finish all cards before the end of the day.
If your card requires special instructions, please include those in each baggie.
Include a few extra cardstock pieces/embellishments in case of mistakes.
Bring a basic supply kit. This should include scissors, bone folder, adhesive, pop dots, paper cutter and anything else necessary to make your projects easy for you. Also bring something to carry your finished cards in.
You need to bring enough supplies for each person attending. Final count will be posted October 1, 2011.
Stamping will begin at 9 a.m. You may arrive at 8:30 a.m. to set up your card supplies (and garage sale items).
The swap ends at 4 p.m. Since people stamp at different speeds, you will not be able to leave until everyone is done stamping. Stamping will end no later than 4 p.m.
Cost is $15 per person�FREE if attending the Retreat.
If you are not attending the Retreat and want to stay for supper cost is an additional $7.
