Saturday, June 6th, 2009
WHEN: Saturday June 6th, 2009 10am-4pm (Deadline to sign up May 8th 2009)
WHERE: Parkway Recreation Center
2930 S. Root River Parkway West Allis, WI 53227
WHAT: A "Year of Cards". Make cards for Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Sympathy/Get Well, Thank you, Anniversary, Birthday, and a Baby card. The cards will come with envelopes and we will also make a mini-magazine file card holder. All supplies are provided and are Stampin Up only! These will be quality cards and will definitely be a step above simple cards. All skill levels will find these projects enjoyable! Never stamped before� don�t worry I�ll teach you everything you need to know to create fabulous projects with paper.
HOW MUCH: $25 you'll get a lunch and yummy treats to give you stampin power. This fee is for the location and lunch only. A charity raffle will also take place but participation is optional. All funds from the raffle go directly to the Colleen Giblin Foundation for the GLUT1 Family Support Conference.
WHY: All the fun of a shoebox without all the prep! Come and have fun and meet some other fun & crafty ladies. This will be a great opportunity to meet other SCS gals! Everyone will get a little gift bag just for coming!
If you'd like to do swaps let me know what interests you and I'll get a sign up going. I LOVE swaps too! We�ll be doing a double layout 6�x6� scrapbook page swap but if there are other swaps you�d like let me know!
There will be TONS of door prizes with the grand prize of a BIG SHOT STARTER KIT. You don't have to order the starter kit you'll literally take it home with you that day! You'll also get the chance to purchase additional entries for the starter kit but ONLY those at the event are eligible to win so your odds at winning will be GREAT!
For those of you who have already expressed interest please note the price change. The price dropped from $35 to $25 to meet the price guidelines for posting in this forum. All fees go toward the room and food only.
I have room for 50 stampers and spots are starting to fill faster. If you're intersted email me at [email protected] and I'll send you the sign up sheet and info. I hope you can join us and bring some friends!
We were talking about this event at Mad-City Madness and one of the ladies was nice enough to e-mail me the forms. It looks like I should be able to come, just have to check with the girls I carpool with on long trips 2 of them are already signed up. They should have room no problem. The calander looks good for then too so all should be good.
On another note I must be having email problems since 2 people haven't heard back from me. I apologize I'm a little bit of an email addict so it must have never gotten to my inbox. Hmmm
I finally got my computer to cooperate and I've attached the sign up sheet.
It's in PDF and word so hopefully no one will have any problems viewing it.
I just discovered I have an over zealous spam filter! So if you don't hear back from me right away I apologize. I get tons of spam and usually don't look in the folder but I will now!
I was just looking at the box of goodies that will be door prizes or raffle items. I'll post a little sneak peek later just to whet your appetite!
I hope you can come and I'm so happy that the word is out about my event! I'm super excited for a fun crafty day and to get to meet so many SCS gals!

Good morning bump! I've got 22 stampers so come and join us! You'll have a great crafty day, make beautiful cards (OK I'm a bit biased but I think you'll like them), meet other SCS gals and get prizes!
Don't forget about the Big Shot giveaway. All you have to do is come to the event and you're automatically entered to win!
OK so it looks like the finaly tally will be 38 wonderful crafty gals for our event! I have s many fun door prizes and raffle prizes I know you'll love them too (heck if I weren't running it I'd buy a bunch of tickets since they're that good!).
See you in about 3 weeks!
If you have any questions or would like to donate an item to the raffle feel free to email me [email protected] or call me at 414-541-8384.
I've got 38 crafty gals attending but don't have everyone's SCS name so I haven't posted "real" names ;)
I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone (some I've met since I go to poffstamper's annual South Milwaukee Shoebox.. I think it's October 18th this year but don't quote me on that).
Anyway I'm a busy bee and just finished name tags and gift boxes for everyone. I'm putting finishing touches on a few raffle items. Yea me for not being my usual procrastinator!
Sorry for the slow responses things are crazy crazy at my house!
Just a few details for Saturday:
Doors will open at 1000am so you early birds will have to wait I want to make sure everything is set up and beautiful before everyone comes in the room.
Raffle tickets will be available until the end of lunch break at noon.
Extra Big Shot raffle tickets will be $5 each. This raffle is separate from the charity raffle selections therefore it has a different price. Everyone gets one ticket for the Big Shot raffle as a part of attending.
The other raffle tickets are $2 each, 3 for $5 or $20 for a 6' long strip of tickets.
My goal is to do the raffles as soon as everyone is finished with their card making.
IF you have to leave early you can still win. Please let me know that you have to go and I'll bring your winnings home with me and we can coordinate a pick up time. If a friend of yours can stay until the end they can claim your prize but I must speak to each of you before. I'd hate to have a "Dishonest Dora" never give someone's prize to them.
What to bring:
I am supplying everything but only have a few adhesive holders. If a few nice gals would bring theirs to use (please put your name on it and I'll have a label maker available) that would be great! I have the refill for the Tombow holder but only have 4 holders.
I really appreciate your help I just couldn't justify spending over $6 each just for the holders for one event!
Paper snips or ribbon scissors are good to have so that you won't have to wait a turn if you don't want to wait.
90% of the pieces are pre-cut (and boy did I underestimate the time that would take ;) ) and the only thing you'll need to cut out are a few things that are paper pieced (like a flower and a cupcake).
Well back to cutting the last few pieces. I really hope you all like the cards I've designed (a couple were CASED from SCS but I have to look for the original card to make sure I give credit).
I will have a card recipe list available after the event (once I have more minutes to type it all out!) in case you want to recreate anything.
So if you have any questions please feel free to email directly ([email protected]), call me 414-541-8384 or post here.
Don't forget to bring $$ for the raffles! I'd love to win everything myself and I hope you will too!
Rachel--thanks so much for a great day--I had a blast and it was great to see some familiar faces from other events. Thanks so much for all of your prep work and the organization of the entire day.
Congrats to the winners of the prizes and best of all I hope we raised some big bucks for this charity!!!!!!
