Gift Card Holders

I feel like it is has been forever since I have made a scrapbook page! I keep working on all kinds of "projects" which are just as fun :)
I mentioned in my last post about my job's entrepreneur show. Every year my mom and I make some kind of cute gift card holder that we sell for just $1. Dresses up those plain gift card gifts into something just a tad more special. Here are the ones we have completed so far this year. No two will be the same!

And here are what the insides look like. They have a pocket for your gift card!

And here is my lovely mom. I was told I MUST make sure to say I have not done all of these on my own. Of course I haven't! In two nights, together, my mom and I have completed what you see here :)

I also wanted to say, that over on facebook (there is a link to your right somewhere) my "Scrapbook Ministry" page is hosting their first challenge. It is a color challenge to use fall colors. You just have to be a fan of the scrapbook ministry and upload a picture of your crafty project. A random winner will be choosen. What will the prize be? Not sure yet, but some sort of goodies from me :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Scrapbook Ministry

Hi everyone! No new projects today.... I just wanted to share some new information though!

I live in the Northeast Ohio area and have been fortunate to find a wonderful group of ladies who also scrapbook! My friend Joan started the group through her church and we call it Scrapbook Ministry. I think that puts some people off, but its not a super religious group or anything. We just hold our monthly crops at a church, in the youth center. We have a group on facebook. Go here to "Like" us!!

We started 3-ish years ago with about 10 ladies... we now have an email distribution list of over 80 ladies and continue to grow! We hold a monthly crop on a Saturday from 9am-4pm with 1 or 2 optional additional classes. The cost to come is just $1 for your space! This goes towards food since breakfast and lunch are included for your $1!!! Can't beat that anywhere! Twice a year (in March and October) we hold weekend crops. There are many more optional classes offered, including some free classes. Those are all day Friday (8am - midnight) and longer on Saturday (8am-6pm)

I hold a class every month of a 2 page 12x12 layout for $5. The theme is always different and I try to teach something new in each class. I have a club called, Liz's Layout Ladies (the name was choosen by the members not me! lol) which are ladies who have commited to purchase my class kit every month. I do this in 5 month groups. At the end of your "term" I give a special gift. The benefit of being a member is that you are guaranteed a kit for that month, even if you can't make it to the crop. I hold them for up to 3 months.

Starting in November, I am going to hold a challenge on the facebook page. It might be a theme challenge, a certain kind of emblishment to use, color combination or all kinds of other things! To enter you will have be a fan of the scrapbook ministry on facebook and upload you picture to the gallery there. I will post the challenge here as well, but to enter you must do it on facebook. Each challenge will run for a month and will have some sort of prize/gift for a random winner.

So, if you are stopping by and happen to live in the area, comment with your email address and I will get you added to the distribution list.

Here are some pictures of layout classes I have done in the past
