When: Saturday, September 15, 2007
Time: 9 am to 3 pm
Registration Deadline: September 1, 2007
How: E-mail Jen at
[email protected] with your intentions, and then send in your payment and registration form. I would prefer paypal (to the email address above), but if you don�t have paypal, email me and I will forward to you my mailing address to which you can send the check. Your name will be added on the list as tentative until I receive payment from you. There are no refunds.
Cost: $12 per person. This registration fee covers the room, pizza lunch, drinks, and snacks.
What do you need to do?
Create a full card using current Stampin� Up! supplies only and bring enough supplies for everyone to make one (25 attendees and enough for 3 mess ups, please). These supplies should include everything you need to make your card (pre-cut card stock, punches, embellishments, accessories such as markers or WWC or pencils, etc). Each attendee will supply their own adhesive which they will carry with them from table to table. You might want to label your adhesive since it will be moving around.
Lunch!!
We will provide a pizza lunch and drinks (water, diet and regular soda) for all attendees. You can munch at your own pace and get back to stamping when you are ready. There are refrigerators on site, so if you prefer to bring your own lunch, you are more than welcome to do so but your cost will not change.
Optional 3D Swap
If you want to participate in this optional swap just show up with prepared 3D item of your choice to swap with the attendees. Examples of 3D items could be coasters, candles, dominoes, accordion books, coaster albums, magnetic bookmarks, glass bead magnets, etc.) There are NO VENDOR RESTRICTIONS on the optional 3D swap. Please note on registration form if you are interested in participating in this swap so we can get a tally of total swaps needed. After the September 1st registration deadline you will be notified of how many 3D swap participants we have, and therefore how many swaps you�d need to prepare. If you have any questions about the 3D swap, feel free to e-mail Julia,

Anything else? Lots More!!!
� This is for adults only, so please register only if you�re 18 or older
� We�ll provide nametags if you need them, but if you have one, feel free to wear it.
� Please remember to bring your own adhesive (and scissors or snips if you�d like to have them with you). It is a good idea to label your items since they will travel from table to table with you.
� If you would like you can bring �recipe labels� for the back of the cards, but please do not adhere them to the card stock as some people might want to send these cards while others want them for demo boards.
� This swap will be using current Stampin� Up! materials ONLY.
� You might want to bring a camera to document how much fun we�re going to have!!
� Feel free to bring your �garage sale� items (retired items only please) for trade or sale with other attendees, but if you�re a demo, please, no selling current items at this event. You are welcome to have business cards handy if someone wants one, but this is a stamping event, not a �selling� event. Feel free to bring your own catalog for reference though.
Now........just fill out the attached form. Send the form via email to
[email protected]. Please forward your payment, via paypal, to
[email protected] by September 1st or email me to obtain my mailing address. If we don�t receive your payment your spot might go to someone on the waiting list. This should give everyone plenty of time to plan and prepare their swaps.
We really look forward to seeing you there!
