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.

Swaps

Please note that if you sign up for a swap and do not fulfill your commitment, you will not receive any swaps from the others in your group. Check your counts before the day of the event to be sure you have the correct number.

We will have 5 swaps:

1. NVR CARD full card

2. 6x6 Recipe Card

3. 6x6 INSPIRATIONAL

4. Monochromatic Card

5. Fancy Fold Card

Swaps are not mandatory – you may participate in as few or as many as you would like. Please remember to showcase your best work using quality products. You must use at least two layers and one embellishment on each swap – thanks!!

Please have all of your swaps completed BEFORE the day of the event. It’s a busy day and there usually isn’t time to work on them at the event.
