At our next meeting on November 8 at 6:30PM Judy is doing the program.

From Judy:
I will be bringing some Christmas dies (at least 10 different dies) for everyone to share and use to make Christmas cards (think ahead for 2017 if you have already completed for this year).

It may be helpful to bring your own die cut machine if you have one. I will bring my 2 and the club has 2 for use.

Here is a list of some paper ideas to bring or use your own creativity: White, navy, red, brown, green, silver, gold, white "shiny", sparkle papers (red,white,blue,green) plus Christmas patterns.

You can complete a card(s) or just die cut and make cards at home. I will try to have a few samples of stamped cards for those who do not want/like dies

See attached photos for ideas using some of the dies I will bring.

See you the 8th
Judy

We will be making memory fold-out cards.
Everyone should bring the usual supplies, embellishments, and equipment to 
class. The only extras would be small photos of friends or family or pets. 
They will be cutting them to fit the card. They will need card stock and heavier 
paper (rather than thin paper). It would be good if they coordinate. If they have a 
2.5" oval punch, that would be good; I will bring mine too. 
 
This card is a perfect thank you to send to someone who you may have had a nice 
visit with. A few photos of your time together creates a mini memory book.
