4. Shoebox Swap: Design a card using Stampin Up! stamp sets & ink only. Cardstock and embelishments can be any brand. Cut the cardstock and gather all the supplies to make the swap (kinda like preparing for a make & take). Bring all the supplies in a shoebox (or other container) to the event. Your shoebox will be set up at a station for others to make. In return you will visit the other swap stations to make the other swaps. Each participant is responsible for bringing their own adhesive. We will split into groups of 20 or less…you will be sent an email 4 weeks prior to the event with the exact # of swaps you need to prepare. Swaps will be a FULL card (survey showed that full card swaps are favored over card front only).
5. Door Prizes: By submitting your registration form before March 15th your name will automatically be entered into the drawing for current Stampin’ Up! products.
Donated hand-made door prizes are always loved! Please consider donating some hand-made goodies!!
6. Demonstrations: There will be 5 or so demonstrations on a new or special stamping technique. Demonstrations will be provided by fellow Splitcoaststampers!
7. Food: Yes, snacks and beverages will be supplied. If you donate a desert, chips, or crackers, you only have to pay a $10 registration fee!!!! Please be specific as to the item you will be bringing (example: Ritz Crackers). We will be buying additional items based on what you bring.
8. Roster: You have the option to have your personal info included on a roster that will be emailed to all attendees after the event.
Thanks for joining me and other SCSers for a day full of socializing & stamping. I can’t wait to meet everyone (again) and Ink’n The Day Away!!

MN gathering - info for Session #1 & #2
I am so bummed! I just logged on and viewed this website for the first time (practically), and both sessions are full! I hope that another event is happening in Minnesota sometime soon. I guess I'll have to get with it and log on more often.
