Scrapbookers the Dream Team Auction Needs Your Help

**Stitch** · 03-19-2007, 01:29 PM

Buying the cards is easier, because they are cut and folded and come with envelopes. But a lot of scrappers cut there own (I posted the common sizes above) and then score them. If you have a large amount of cardstock, you can save money by using what you have. Though premade cards aren't that pricey.

If you want ideas and tips on cards, check out all the Card sketch challenges. There are some good sketches to get you started. Plus you can post them when you are done!

Are they with the scrapbooking stuff at Micheals?

Yes they are!

Do you have a Hobby Lobby near you? They will also have cards and here is a coupon for them.

Stitch and I just got back from Target and they updated all their scrapbooking supplies. They now have the cards and envelopes in that section so you can try there. We also picked up tons of scrapbook stuff for under $2.00 as they try to clear out the old stuff!

The easiest way to make a card is to score ( use a ruler and use a rounded edge tool Not a knife, as it will cut thru )and run in down the ruler to make a crease.... fold the card and THEN cut to the size you want, This way both sides will be exact.

Thank you so much to all of you that have decided to help! It really means a lot to the Dream Team to have the support of all our creative friends! I've seen some of the work already and it is just BEAUTIFUL! There are going to be some lucky bidders at the auction!

I've also added somethings that we need for the scrapping tote to the 1st post if someone wants to help the children, but doesn't have the time to make a card.

Thank you all again for your support! You are all wonderful people.

I heard from my own Creative Memories Consultant that they recently discontinued a LOT of stickers and papers. You can probably get them at really good discount right now.

I received a lovely donation for the scrap tote, so I have updated the first post!

Thank you for supporting the Dream Team Project!

Is it past the deadline already?

**Stitch** · 03-29-2007, 09:05 AM

Not at all....Deadline is May 20th. I want to avoid duplicates on the supplies, so if I get something or too much of one item I want to update the wishlist.
