Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
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?
Location - Karen's home in Snohomish, WA; Directions will be PM'd to those confirmed
Time - 11:00am - 4:00pm
Date - Saturday, August 8th
Shoebox Swap – Design a project for everyone to make (card, ATC, mini-book, 3-D, etc.). Bring the materials for each person to be able to make your project (cardstock, stamps, ink, embellishments, hole punches, cutting tools, scrub & mist...etc.) Label everything with your name. Precut as much as possible and put all of the ingredients in individual baggies. It helps to have one baggie per person so that if we run out of time we can grab the bag and assemble at home. Make a finished sample of your project to be left at your station and put your name on it so we know who designed each project as we move around the room. It is always fun to put cards with faces. Each person will set up their stuff at a station and then everybody rotates around the room and makes each project. You can go at your own pace that way.
Favorite Project Contest - PLEASE make 2 of your shoe box swap item! ( One to display at your station and one to display on the contest wall!) We will display the projects and everyone will vote and the winner gets a prize!
Basic Supplies - Each person should bring their own basic adhesive, scissors, etc. to carry with them for all of the projects.
Food – Since we will be stamping for a long time, everyone contributes food for snacks, lunch, drinks and paper goods. Or you may choose to contribute $5 for food. ( Please let us know ahead of time) Sign-ups in Post #3.
Name Tag – Make your own name tag so everyone knows who you are. Put your SCS name and your real name on it (so we don’t have to say “Hey, You!”). Most creative will win a prize!
Door Prize – If you want to receive a door prize, bring a door prize (valued at $10-15). A lot of people make handmade items or bring stamping/scrapping supplies.
Secret Sister Swap – Sign up by July 1st - Sign up to be matched to a secret sister who will also be attending the swap. I will PM you a questionnaire to fill out. Once sign-ups are closed, I will make random assignments and let each person know their assignment. You will make a gift (valued at $10-15) for your secret sister based on her questionnaire and bring it to the swap. We will designate a time for exchanging gifts.
We only have 17 spots!
A shout out to hbeecomer for letting us "borrow" her "rules"! THANK YOU! :cool:

Could the 4 people who would like to come PLEASE post in th thread so we know who to send Karen's address too???!!!??? I can not see who is voting for what! Just post something like this..
KatieBelle - either day - secret sister - door prize - name tag
Anyone else?? PLEASE, Please send me a PM or post that you want to come! I think after talking to other people Sat. July 11th works BEST! If you disagree PLEASE vote and POST!!!
In what area of Seattle would this be held? Curious how far away it would be for me.
I am so sorry! I did not realize that was not posted! I guess that would help! Karen lives in Snohomish (sp?) and we are thinking 9-2 or 10-3 something like that. We will have all that ironed out on Tuesday!
My name is Marsha and I've already voted in the poll. Rather than bringing food, I'd prefer to give $$. Let me know who to send this to. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Justin and I had fun, great dinner (2 for 1 coupon - big money saver there!). Justin played blackjack "legal" for the first time and won $50.00. He loved the feel of the chips in his hand! He was so cute to watch him play, luck for the beginner I guess. I lost my $15.00 too quickly. Easy come easy go!
You may want to add Teresa and Linda to our list also. They said they'd come. I'll direct them to the link to sign up for secret sister stuff and food too. Karen
I am glad you at least had fun! I will add them to the list! Your message popped up on my phone last night at about 10pm.. Go figure! I ended up stamping the little voting tags.. It think it looks beeter than the labels! And I added to the goodie bags and they look so great! Very cute!
More people signed up! If you are not on the list you need to let us know you are coming! Also, I need to knwo what everyone is bringing for food!Thanks so much!
Katie
And I just spent an hour in front of the TV punching out 300 little bubbles for my cards and every 2 minutes Mia would have to come over and run her fingers through the bowl of dots.. It was so funny.. Eric was saying "leave Momma's bubbles alone" and Mia would just laugh and say "Ma told me so I could touch the bubbles" Gotta love little crafters!
**Please Note**Due to circumstances beyond Karen's control we are having to move the date of the Swap! Karen and I are very disappointed, but somethings can not be helped!
The new date is Saturday August 8th!
This gives a lot more time to get things ready and to shop for your secret sister! ALL dates have been adjusted. If you want to sign-up or if you have to unsign-up please let me know. If you wanted to come but can not come now please let me know and I would be happy to try to work something out.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
