So Much Creativity!

Well we've just finished our first card swap and I'd have to say it was a great success.  We had nine very creative ladies participate and they will be thrilled with their cards when they pick them up.
I'm not going to show you a photo until next week, so that all the participants can see their "loot" first.

Do you wanna do it again???  Similar criteria.  The guide lines again for this month are quite simple. 

-There will be three standard sizes for you to choose from.  They are: 

4 1/4 x 5 1/2  or  5 3/4 square,  or  4 1/2 x 6.  

These will then fit standard envelopes allowing the recipient to be able to mail them.

-There must be a minimum of two layers to the card.  That is a card base and at least one layer on the front.

-There must be at least one thing used on the card that has been purchased at the Craft Nook.  That could be the stamp, paper, embellishment etc.

-This time there will be a theme.  It must have a punched or cut border.   That's simple enough isn't it.

 

Here's the reminder on how you register? 

At the bottom of this blog entry you will see a comment box.  Enter your first name and the initial of your last name ( for me that would be Lilian C ) then send an email to the store here to confirm entry.   There are a number of options to use in the comment box, but the easiest is if you comment as "anonymous"   please make sure  however, that you put your name as I indicated in the comment so we know who you are.  

If you are the first registrant please put the number one beside your name.  The second registrant, the number two, so that everyone can see at a glance how many are registered.

 

Registration is required by August 28th. 

Cards to be in the store by September 18th for pick up September 22nd.

Remember, dependent on how many register, you will be making 6-10 cards.  So there's no need to wait, get started on the design now and your first five cards.

 

There were a number of customers took advantage of the jewellery special last week.  Some were getting a head start on their stocking stuffers making earrings.  Some tried out the popular Shambala bracelets.

And last but not least I wanted to show you the frame that my Canadian sister made as a gift for my English sister recently.  You can see how those treasured photos can be displayed as artwork on the wall to be readily seen instead of in an album.  

 

 

  

 

We're expecting a busy start to the day tomorrow with registration for the crop weekend opening.  Linda told me earlier that she had to get to bed to beat me into the store.   She would be surprised  if I chose to stay home and let her deal with registration before I got there!  No...I wouldn't do that to her or any of the eager croppers who wil be waiting at the door for us to arrive.

 

 

Anyway...until next time Happy Crafting.
