TUESDAY, JANUARY 22ND MEETING

Tuesday, Jan 22nd is our next meeting at 6:30 PM at Seabreeze Rec Center.

We will be making a Double Heart Easel card with Carol Seitz. She has kits all made up but if you want to make more than one card the supplies you will need are:

2 sheets red cardstock

1/4 sheet black cardstock
5" x 5" piece of designer printed paper (I used SU First Edition)
3" x 3" piece of vanilla cardstock
Valentine saying between 2" and 2-1/2" wide
red ink
small scrap of silver glimmer paper (I will have extra)
small ribbon flower or other embellishment
pop-ups (I used SU stampin' dimensionals)
heart shaped dies (I used SU Hearts Collection Framelits)
rhinestone or button just under 1/2" wide

I will bring my framelits and Big Shot. If anyone else has the SU framelits and can bring them they would be great. We could play around with the size of other heart dies also. I will also bring my small heart punch, 1/2" circle punch, and a scoring board.

Here are the sizes of the hearts I used. This is the widest and tallest measurement.

5-1/4 x 4-3/4 (this one is scalloped)

4-1/4 x 3-3/4
3-3/8 x 3-1/8
2-1/2 x 2-1/4
1-3/4 x 1-5/8
heart punch 5/8 x 5/8

 Everyone can use my Big Shot and framelits but it will just mean a lot of sharing.

 Carol has been suffering with a bad back so I would ask that you please bring all the supplies you would need to make cards using the stamps from our Loan Library in case she needs to cancel at the last moment. Be sure to bring your own stamp pad(s).

 ITEMS DISCUSSED AT 1/9/13 MEETING:

Dues for 2013 are payable this month. $10.00 for the year.

A discussion and decision was made that we would like to participate in Operation Right Home in providing cards for our soldiers to send home. Joyce will do some research and share at next meeting.

 We also decided that there should be two projects at each meeting. One person can do two projects or there can be two different individuals.

April 9th is still open for someone to volunteer to teach a class. Feb 12th will be a Heart theme and volunteers are Kathy Klein and Katie Robertson.

March 12th will be Punch Art by Ginny Radtke and Joyce Stewart.

We have purchased a Cuttlebug so will happily accept donations of embossing folders. We also need punches and edge punches.

We are still working on a bus trip in June to Orlando to Stampfest.

Ginny will be ordering Tombo tape replacements. Email her if you want refills.

A decision was made that we will purchase about $100 worth of stamps at 1/24 Paradise bus trip. Katie, Janet, Shirley, Ginny and Joyce will be going.

Also made decision that we would purchase two (2) new stamp sets a month.

We are going to have two tables at Market of Marion in February -- we will be selling some of our older stamps from Loan Library. Florence, Shirley and Joyce will be manning the tables.


See you Tuesday.
