Want to swap cards and ideas with other card makers?

Card Swaps
Card swaps can spark creativity and friendships; while having lots of fun
and doing what you love. We would love for you to be part of our card swaps. They happen once a month, you need to sign up to participate.
I have given them different challenges each month, and I am stretching some of them to get out of their box. I can’t wait to see this month’s cards!

Here are the dates and themes for the upcoming card swaps. Remember – you need to sign up to participate.

July 6 Tuesday 6:00-7:00. The theme for this month is “Happy Birthday” and each card must have 2 or more different embellishments. This theme is very appropriate since my sons and husbands birthday is this month. Cut off for this swap has been closed.

August 10 Tuesday 6:00-7:00 Sign up before July 22nd. Theme is “Just Because” and in has to have 1 or more window and at least 1 embellishment.

SCRAPBOOKS FOREVER CARD SWAP RULES
Before you commit to signing up for a card swap, please check your calendar, make sure you have plenty of time to get your cards done, and that you can attend, or drop off at the store, on time. Swaps are fun. However, remember the other people who signed up as well. They are creating as many cards as you are and they are looking forward to seeing the cards they will be receiving. So please don’t pull out at the last minute, many people will be disappointed. So even though the card swap is free, it is a commitment that we ask you to take seriously.Thank-you!

* No cards smaller than a 4”x 4”.
* All cards must be accompanied with a correct size envelope.
* All cards must have at least one embellishment. (i.e. Button, brads, eyelets, ribbons, ect.)
* All cards can be the same, or all different, or a mixture. You decide. * You must stick with the theme that month.
* One card is for the store; to be displayed in the store and on our website.
* All cards must include your name, and where you are from. Everyone likes to know who and where the cards came from. You are welcome to include your e-mail address or mailing address if you would like.
* Please do not stamp your name on the back of the cards you made. * Please use a tag in the card or a piece of paper around the card with the information.
IF YOU ARE MAILING YOUR CARDS You must include a self addressed, pre-paid, stamped envelope (correct postage) enclosed with your cards. This way, we just slip the new cards in the envelope and mail it back to you that day. Cut off dates to sign up for the card swaps are the 2nd Thursdays of each month. Card swaps are the 2nd Tuesday of each month, after store hours, unless otherwise stated. So come early to shop and then we will swap!

MAKE-A-SCRAPBOOK FOR MAKE-A-WISH CHILDREN

We can give with our time, money, and/or talents. We can now give even with our scrapbooking. Every child in the Make-A-Wish program has a family who wants to remember their time together. What better way to give then create an 8x8 scrapbook for a family who doesn’t have time to scrap at this time. What an awesome gift to give a family that is grieving; a book filled with pictures and memories of their loved one. You can!
Jacki Richardson of Springfield, Mo. has an ongoing list of children’s names, their sex, age, and their wish. All you do is choose a child and create a themed 8x8 scrapbook for them. If their wish is to go to Disney, the theme of the scrapbook would be Disney. One boy’s wish is a car make-over; He’s 17. What fun that album would be to create. She asks that you please make the first page a dedication to the child. Please use the child’s name. Make it personal. She asks that your layouts accommodate 4x6 pictures. They may not be into cropping and enlarging. Let’s make it simple for them . Please contact Jacki at 417-207-4661 and she will make sure that you are matched with a child and family. You can drop or mail the completed books to Scrapbooks Forever and we will make sure they get to Jacki, or you can send them right to Jackie. You can finalize the details with Jacki. You can touch a family’s life, as well as they can touch your life. -God Bless You!
