ScrapPINK 2009

I think everyone had a great time today at the ScrapPink 2009 crop at Inspiration Cafe in Bradenton! We had a layout contest, the layout that raised the most money won, a raffle with lots of great prizes and we auctioned the two premade Pirate scrapbook layouts. We made a total of $568.40 to send to Scrapbooks, Etc for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure ScrapPink 2009! What an awesome group of scrappers!
I would also like to take the time to thank Deborah Humes for donating recipe cards for sale, Gail Gibbons for donating a very nice stamping Up stamp set for raffle, and to Sharon Blackrick for donating two very nice page kits and also some goodies to be handed out to everybody. Vickie Kipp made two bear layouts and between the two of them they raised $165. I guess you can tell we were all fighting over them.

MONTHLY CARD CLASS

Our monthly card class will be held Monday, September 14th (second Monday of the month) from 6:30 - 8:30 pm at the Cafe.
We will have an exciting time of creating some "spooky" cards, along with a "Fall" time card and more. We will create seven different cards using some new techniques like Flower Soft and we will also be using the Score Pal for a beautiful Shutter Card. Can't wait can you? I can't either and I hope to see you all there.
You may bring your small craft tote if you like, but you must bring adhesives including glue dots, pop dots and permanent adhesive of choice. We will be using chalks, watercolor pencils, score pal, distressing inks in black and brown, paper piercer, distresser, embossing, cuttlebug. We will have one (at least) of each of the tools you will be using - if you bring your own, you could move through the cards at a quicker pace.
You will have a photo and instruction written for each card. We have also found out that the best way to create our cards is to do each card at a station. This way you can move at your own pace or get extra help you may need.
Come create with us. Cost of the class is $15. Please email the instructor sharon.blackrick@verizon.net directly to sign up for the class - you have until Saturday, September 12th to sign up.
