SIZZIX MACHINE

Hi Everyone

Renee gave us a wonderful fun presentation and with our good turnout, everyone had a good time. We were all a buzz.

 I will be posting our July workshops soon. However, I wanted to share this good news with everyone right away.

I received a call from a lady with a brand new Sizzix Big Kick in the original box. Never used. She gave us a great deal on it for $50. It was over $100 when she bought it. Thanx to our collected money, we had the funds to buy it. I will buy a lock to secure it shortly. We already used it today for embossing the cards.

This is our new club machine:

JUNE 14, 1PM WORKSHOP

We had a nice turnout on Friday. Lots of lovely cards were created and we had some first time visitors too.

This is the email from Debbie for our next project on June 14 at 1PM:

When you send out the email about the next project -  here's what everyone needs to bring:

A couple pieces of colored cardstock,  then at least 5 (can be more) coordinating pieces of designer paper…

The designer paper pieces don’t have to be big -  just need to be at least 1”x7” each.  And

of course some white cardstock.   Embellishments like ribbon and buttons or bling can be

added too. And of course the standard - scissors, tape runner, glue, cutter etc

I will bring graph paper for everyone,  my Big Shot and Quilty embossing folders, and some

Greeting stamps….. If they want the ink on greeting to match their cardstock they need to bring their

Stamp pad --- I’ll bring a black stamp pad.

Thanks

Debbie
