Shoebox Project Information:
This is the only mandatory part of the day which will take place on our schedule in the morning and afternoon.
All shoebox projects should have individual pre-made kits so participants can take the supplies in case they don't finish all swaps. For each kit, put all of the precut paper pieces, ribbons and embellishments needed to make your project into a ziplock style bag, an envelope to keep the finished project in or even a junk mail return envelope. It�s much quicker to have all of the pieces already sorted out and bagged than it is to have to dig through multiple bags of supplies looking for what you need. You will need an extra bag or envelope with extra pieces for �oopsies�.
**Please have your shoebox completely prepared and ready to go when you arrive for the gathering. Unfortunately, there have been complaints at past events of people not having their shoebox projects ready for their tablemates to work on, making this reminder necessary. If you don't arrive with a completed and ready to go shoebox project, your tablemates are not obligated to allow you to do the project they have prepared. Prepared means having all of the elements of your pre planned project prepared and ready for your tablemates. Tossing a bunch of random supplies on the table and instructing people to "create whatever they would like" is not acceptable. Please be considerate of others and extend the courtesy of having your shoebox project ready when you arrive. Thanks!!**
*Your shoebox project can be anything stamped*
� If you are making a card, we will make FULL cards using at least one embellishment (ribbon, brads, buttons, etc).� Quality CS is a MUST! This means your base cardstock should be strong enough to hold up your card for display. � Please have all card pieces pre-cut. � Please bring stamps or other items for your project � Please include instructions (aka: recipes), tips and any other important information. � Please bring four extra completed shoe box projects. You will use one as your sample at your table, two for hostess gifts and one for a door prize. � You may make other projects keeping in mind it should not take more than 10-12 mins to complete.
We will be voting on the best shoebox project for a prize.

This swap is a little different! Make a 6” x 6” base and add some beautiful artwork and an inspirational saying to display. Use at least 2 layers and 1 embellishment. Make sure you use quality card stock so the cards will stand up easily and aren’t wimpy and saggy. Check out the ideas below! (Similar to 6x6 Recipe card)

This is a FULL CARD SWAP. Your card should be MONOCHROMATIC (think white on white, pink on pink, green on green.....you get the gist). You can also use a neutral color like white, grey, brown or black for images, sentiments and your base card) You need a minimum of 2 layers in addition to the card base AND at least 1 embellishment. Please ask for more info if you’re unsure. We are trying something a little different with this one!

Swap descriptions have been posted!Just as a suggestion, always use good quality paper (like SU, Papertrey Ink, Fun Stampers Journey...most are 80 lb. weight at least) for your card bases. Lighter weights (65 lb.) work for layers, but tend to wimp out as bases. When cutting your paper please look for clean, straight cuts. (Unless your design calls for rough edges). 78 days to go!
Joanne, I sent payment via paypal. Happy New Year. I am looking forward to seeing you all in March. please sign me up for each of the swaps. thanks!!!!!
