I think we've tossed it around enough - I'm gonna jump in there & set some terms for our swap. If anyone would like changes, feel welcome to post & we'll alter it. Just thought we should get the show on the road so we can get supplies etc.
Date:
November 17
Location:
Cheryl's
Participants:
April, Cheryl, Jen, Sarah, Wanda
Format of Swap:
**NOTE changes - re: cardstock & format**
-each of us brings three completed cards, and for each card, 4 sets of supplies to make it, INcluding card stock for the actual card body
-have your sample card along with the cardmaking supplies for that card style in a ziploc bag or some sort of container, so that we can just grab a "pack" and make our card, then pass the whole works along to the next guy
-don't feel obliged to cut out every shape & embellishment - people can always put their own spin on it by having a little more freedom in this regard. So - if there's a Christmas tree, for instance, no need to bring four cut-out trees - bring the paper required for each person to cut one, but leave it to the cardmaker to decide the shape & size, etc
-each of us who has them should bring basic scrapbooking/cardmaking supplies: cutter, scissors, glue, sketch book etc. - if you don't have them, no worries, we will share nicely. (o:
-anyone having special needs for their card setup should post here so the group knows (e.g., all embellishments are blue & white, so card stock should be coordinating; or card is trifolding instead of one fold, so bring a sheet of cardstock to make the card at the group, etc)
-we might not get 12 cards completed on the craft night. Having the embellishments handy should mean we can go home & finish up what we didn't get done - perhaps sketch the card on your notebook before leaving if you think you might not remember what it's like

Alright, I'll take your bull by the horns, too. I think that it would make more sense to have each person supply the cardstock for each card. It just seems so much easier for the person in charge to grab/make 5 blue cards that for 5 people to do that separately.
I would also suggest that everything for one card, all supplies, paper, inkpads or whatever, go in a Ziploc bag along with a sample card. That way we can each grab a kit bag, make a card as based on the original as we feel like, and then grab another kit when we're done.
Alrighty.
The cards won't necessarily be the same colour, though - I don't typically have several of one colour. But that's alright, so long as they coordinate, we'll be peachy. (o:
Okey-dokey. Changes made.
Can we put the special nights up in the sidebar so they don't get buried?
