July Scrap Night

Welcome to the new blog! We hope this will make it a bit easier to access information about scrappin' with East Lake and passing the word around! Right now we have a pretty steady 6-10 scrappers but there is plenty of room to grow! So pass the word along to your friends, send them the link to this blog and come join us next time on Saturday, July 21 from 5:00 pm to midnight (or anything in between), and bring a snack to share!

Also, our church has a card ministry where a greeting card is sent out to those that have lost a loved one, are ill, or are going through a tough time. If anyone is interested in making a card or two for the ministry, please bring them to scrap night and I will forward them on. If you have a passage that really helps you through difficult times you can include it in the card if you would like. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or elaborate just whatever you feel led to create. The handmade cards lend a special element of caring to someone that is hurting.

Thanks and I hope to see everyone on the 21st!
