Tuesday, April 23 Meeting

Here is some info for the projects for the meeting Tuesday April 23rd

We will be making 2 cards/projects:  The first one will be a Herringbone Card that uses
lots of strips of coordinating papers-I have 3 different sets of papers and will cut the
strips before the meeting for people to use.  The second will be a napkin card made
from decorated cocktail napkins-I have a supply with me that people can use also

The only supplies that people need to bring will be double-sided adhesive, scissors,
scotch tape, pop-ups, white cardstock and cutter.  If you have some interesting cocktail
napkins that you would like to use, bring them along

Contact Paper Info

Hi ladies,

 

After our meeting last evening, I checked both the rolls of contact that I purchased at Staples and sure enough, one of them does not stick well.  The other is so-so.  Also as Ginny noted,  the one she purchased was not as clear and shiny and by comparison to what I use, it does seem different.

 

There was another lady sitting to my left last night (table in front of where you were
Ginny... facing you) and she told me that she got a roll, different from mine, from Staples.  She said it was bigger, more on the roll, clearer/shiny and she used it on a card and it worked well.  Hers was $9.99 and Staples ordered it for her and had it sent to the local store for her to pick up.  Sorry I don't know her name, but you might want to ask at the next meeting or send out a note to the members to

A. let them know that Staples has two types and the more expensive one is better quality

B. let them know that the $2.99 roll  has not produced acceptable results.

 

Maybe people would be willing to share a roll of the more expensive one, seeing it has more on it.  I think it is a product used more for laminating.  Will go on their site and see if I can find it.

Tuesday - April 9 Meeting

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, April 9th, 6:30 PM at Seabreeze Rec Center.



We will be working on Operation Write Home cards.  Please bring all of the material you will need for this project especially card stock and envelopes.  We have quite a bit of designer paper that will be available for your use.  You will also have access to Loan Library stamps.  You may also bring your own if you are working on a specific design. 

 *********************************************************

Directly below is a message from Jan Edmondson:

Janet and I have 85 cards ready for mailing for Operation Write Home, however we would like to wait and mail them to meet the April 30 deadline and fill the box completely.  Would you please put an e-mail out to the club that we need July 4th cards and Any Hero cards this month and please bring them on or before the April 30 deadline.  I have attached a file for members so they will know the deadlines ahead of time.  

 

ITEMS DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING:

 The club purchased 3 stamps for men's cards and Scorepal at Marion Market.

Jan Edmondson took on the Operation Write Home  project.  She will be in charge of receiving any cards that we make and mailing them.  The Treasury will pay for all shipping costs.  Thanks, big time, for stepping forward Jan.  I personally am very grateful!

 See you Tuesday!  Joyce Stewart
