Scrapbooking Cricut Swarm!

What is a Cricut Swarm you ask!!!

Saturday, December 15th

9am to 11pm

A SWARM is a get together of individuals who enjoy scrapbooking and paper crafting, particularly with the Cricut or Expression personal die cutting machines. It is not that different from what has been traditionally called a crop, the term SWARM is just a word-play off of the Cricut brand name, since this is focused on individuals that like to use Cricut products.

Owning or having experience with a Cricut is NOT a requirement to attend a SWARM. All papercrafting and scrapbooking lovers are welcome!

Fee: $35
includes: T-shirt, brunch, pizza dinner, snacks, dessert, door prizes, raffles, make-n-takes, demos, and a great time!

Space is limited to 25 attendees.
Everyone will have their own table!

Pre-registration required, please call 630-271-0610 to reserve your spot today.

November 2007 Book Club

"All About Calendars"

Book of the Month Club is designed to help educate you to new ideas, techniques and styles through the use of our technique books, specially designed kits and supporting documents. The best part of the Book Club is meeting new friends who share the same enjoyment you have in crafting.

The way it works is simple. Like traditional Bookclubs, our club will have a new Pinecone Press book each month and two kits to take home. After working with your book and kits at home, we meet together the following month to discuss your views and opinions of the book and kits. The difference with the Pinecone Press Bookclub is that along with the technique books and kits, you will receive a study document that is created to go with the selected book each month.

When we meet each month, we gather together to discuss the book and bring the projects that you have created with your kits. These monthly meetings are a time when members share and learn from each other. Month after month you as the group continues to meet and grows, you will become more comfortable and confident with your crafting abilities.

Our Next meeting is scheduled for

Monday, November, 26th at 7pm to 9pm.

The Cost is $26

Class Fee covers your idea book, one project kit, book information and demos, monthly membership fees, and a great groups of gals.

We still have some October Halloween books and kits available for purchase.

Not sure if this club is for you, come on out and see what we are all about. If you want to join, then all you need is pay that night. If you are interested, please call 630-271-0610 and let us know you will be joining us that night. Or, stop by the store and view previous books and kits to see if this club is for you.

See you Monday, November 26th,
Alice

Get ready for this Thanksgiving class! As the years fly by, it is always great to savor (and scrapbook!) those great memories. In this keepsake book, we will be documenting 9-10 of your family members’ “Thanksgivings” this season in a wonderful fall album! What a beautiful way to document your traditions to keep for years to come! You need NOT be an expert scrapper- this class is perfect for beginners and all levels of expertise.

This Thanksgiving, if your tradition is to share things you are thankful for, take notes. Otherwise, interview 9-10 of your family members to find out! Each page will be uniquely decorated for each person, to compile a book filled with your memories. It makes a beautiful Thanksgiving decoration for next season too! Stop in to the store to see this book before our class! I look forward to seeing you there.

**Please email me a list of your family’s “thanksgivings” sometime before the class. For example, a page in my book says: “Nick is thankful that when I’m not able to spend time with my family, I get to spend it with a family that cares about me.” When your list is in a word document, email it to me by Tuesday afternoon at kimberlyburdick@gmail.com and I’ll be happy to have them printed and ready for class.

Recommended Supply List:
Below is a list of supplies that may be helpful to bring to our class. Please still come without these supplies, as I have extra to share. Photos: (9)wallets, (or 3x5, your choice, black and white or color); glue stick, your regular adhesive, glue dots, 1” circle punch, corner rounder, black stamping ink, (not necessary), a pencil, black writing pen, and scissors.
