AUGUST MEETING REPORT:

Great turnout AGAIN! Project cards focused on scrap crafting a card and decorating an Accucut envelope, making a pocket card from a 6x12 sheet, and creating a darling purse from a template created from the 3D Challenge Group on Paper Craft Planet by Adela, suitable for use as a favor or clever gift idea. Our OWH card was a duplicate of our scrap crafted card without any bulk. In all, we created 3 very clever and useful cards and projects plus donated a card to Operation Write Home soldiers. I would love to hear what else you did with your card ideas!

Door prizes were won by Cindy, Mary Ann and our newest member, Lisa. Our recipe swap pocket cards were totally awesome!

SEPTEMBER SWAP: Pumpkins!

I really enjoy how we as a group discuss the next month’s swap card theme. We unanimously agreed that we don’t mail Halloween cards. After tossing around ideas, we came up with creating a card with pumpkins on it! You can certainly make a Halloween card if you wish, but it must have a pumpkin somewhere as a focal point. Be sure to include a card for our Everson Tree! Only 3 months left to donate to our precious club event!

SEPTEMBER PROJECT: Seasonal Surprise!

There is so much out there for me to choose from for card projects! The Shoppe is getting is Impression Obsession stamps and new papers from Basic Grey, Jenni Bowlin and Webster’s to name a few. The new WeR fall paper line is in and is AWESOME!!!! I’d like to surprise you (again) with a combination of all of the above for September’s meeting.

JULY MEETING REPORT
Great turnout! We added something new this month that will be a regular component of our monthly meetings. We are donating a card to Operation Write Home (OWH) the organization that collects hand crafted cards and sends them to our military for their use when sending mail to their own families. We actually had enough time and materials to make two cards. I’m very excited about this added feature and I hope you are too. Basically, we are using the design from one of our project cards and replicating it for OWH.

This month was all about Clean and Simple (CAS) cards – something I’ve never done as a design style with club. We made four cards altogether each with their own unique designs. I think my favorite was using the October Afternoon diecuts as our base card front and added embellishments from there. We learned a lot about making fast cards that didn’t look lame.

Door prizes were won by Mercedes, Cindy and Amy. Our wedding swap cards were stunning and were a fun change to our swap themes.

AUGUST SWAP: Pocket Card and Recipe Tuck-in!
Linda W. was showing me a recipe swap she’s involved in, which gave me the inspiration for our club swap this month! Over the years, we’ve made pocket cards to hold gift cards, tags, and whatever else. Our swap is to write a favorite summer recipe on a 3x5 recipe card and then tuck it into a pocket card! I liked this idea so well, I’m doing this on my Paper Craft Planet Group too! Remember a card for the Everson!

Besides our 12x12 recipe card paper line, my friend Christi over at Paper Craft Planet has provided several sites for free printable recipe cards, some of which can be typed onto and then printed on cardstock!

http://www.freeprintablerecipecards.net/category/new
(This site you can print FREE recipe cards with or without lines.)

http://www.bellybytes.com/recipe/recipe_cards.html
(This one even has some FREE House Mouse recipe cards!)

http://tipnut.com/free-printable-recipe-cards-a-nice-collection/
(This site has TONS of FREE printable recipe cards!)

http://alenkasprintables.com/1/35/35a.htm
(This site allows you to choose the FREE recipe card you want to use.
Then type everything for your recipe into the “fill-in-the-blank” boxes.
This is the way to go, if you don’t like handwriting recipes out.)

I just found another wonderful site for FREE PRINTABLE recipe cards! It's the HP (Hewlet Packer) website. I just printed out my recipe card for August and was able to put a photo of myself onto the recipe card! How cool is that????? Pretty darn cool if ya ask me. hehehe
