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
