You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Saturday, March 5, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Wethersfield PD Community Room 250 Silas Deane Highway, Wethersfield, CT Do not park in back of the Police Station. Park in front or in the adjacent shopping plaza.
What is a shoebox swap? Design a card that can be completed in about 15 minutes. Complete 2 (one as a sample for your shoebox & 1 for the hostess) and then make a "kit" for each person, which contains all the supplies to assemble your card, in your shoebox. Please label all your supplies.
On the outside of your shoebox: put your name & the name of your project.
In your shoebox put: your original card sample your �kits� = all the supplies (pre-cut and pre-punched) needed for making your project for each participant extras for mistakes (of which I commit daily when stamping) stamps, ink, written/printed instructions for your card in your shoe box and anything else that is needed to complete your card.
Bring as many kits as we need for participants to complete your card.
***Participation in the SBS swap is required.***
***Participation in the other swaps is optional.***
Separate from your shoebox: Please bring your completed ATC's or card fronts, if you signed up for them,
your own labeled items for your personal stamping needs,
adhesive (lots of it) bone folder paper cutter/scorer scissors straightedge nametag stamp cleaner and whatever else you can't stamp without! Don't forget your camera!
Make and wear a nametag with your name and your SCS name. There may be a nametag contest so keep that in mind when you�re creating yours.
Please sign up to bring a food item or a case of water. I will supply paper plates, napkins & utensils. In lieu of a food item, you may provide a make and take for all.

Reason: adding swappers
Gael....... I'm going to assume Fran will run the "other" swaps like previous gatherings. All other swaps, other than the shoebox project, will need to be made prior and brought finished.
I'm going to watch this one for a bit. I am waiting to hear about the date for my ladies weekend planned with my high school friends. I hope to know the date soon. Sounds like fun Fran, I hope I can make it.

I am in! (Not sure for what exactly, yet, but if I could let you know in a bit)
Are the non-shoebox swaps also brought so everyone can make one, or do they run like a regular swap and I just bring my completed items?
Non shoebox items must be completed I'm OK with 12 year olds - it's never too early to get crafting. Yes, she counts as a spot. so have her create a card, and I'll sign her up if she wants to join us.
I don't think the PD would have a problem with a minor.

Fran I am so excited that you have decided to put one of these together. As I drove through CT the other day I was thinking about you.
I am subscribing. I have to register for my classes today, and I think that date will work, but I will be pulling my hair out about then. I think it is a week before my finals for my Masters.

You breed German Shorthairs? They are my absolute favorite!!
Me! Me! Me! Please sign me up, Fran! WOO HOO! Gayla and I will figure out a ride if Nancy's Taxi Service can't take us. I'm in for shoebox, cardfronts, and ATCs. Too soon to know about food.
Hi Ladies: Sue brought up a couple of good points. February 20th is the deadline to sign up, so we have enough time to prepare our projects. Also, by limiting it to 20 we will have time to complete the projects.

I guess since you implemented my suggestions, I'd better sign up. ;)
I'll do the cardfront swap.
Not sure yet about food or a make & take. I'll get back to you on that.
Hi Fran, I would like to join in on the March 5th get together, and will bring my crockpot as well though not sure what will be in it. I'll let you know once I figure it out OK? Also, I'd like to join in on the shoebox swap sounds like fun.
Thanks
Taylor
