Meeting Minutes 12 Mar 2019
24 present (1 guest)
Elliot Font with Kimmi
Welcome & Announcements:
**No new submissions for Board Members, so the current Board agreed to remain in place. Each of us took turns in introducing ourselves and explaining what we do in our positions.
**We welcomed Sharon Kumpf, friend of Nancy’s from Stampin’ Up.
**The 2 workshops Julian Waters will be presenting this summer are Gothic Textura. The second one will build on the first one, but if you can only do the second one, it will be fine.
**Lynn brought some of her wallpaper books. What isn’t taken at the end of the meeting will be collected for Who Gives A Scrap.
**Candy let us take odd papers she brought from her studio.
**We have a few new service projects coming in the future. One will be making cards with and for the residents at the Myron Stratton Home. We also plan to make bookmarks and/or nametags at the 21C library and at a First Friday at Cottonwood Galleries. Leslie will provide more details down the road.
**A play date for writing on the tea-cup saucers is planned for April 23 at Leslie’s from 1-4 pm.
**Rose commented on a book she pulled from our guild library called, How To Fold by Larry Withers. She noticed that some of the directions didn’t include measurements with pictures of the folds. Good Luck with that one!
**Renee Jorgensen is featured in the recent edition of Bound & Lettered along with several photos of her project in process.
Show & Share:
**Cheryl and TJ had envelopes ready to send off to the Graceful Envelope Contest.
**Candy and Gracie went to a journal-making workshop recently using printed paper towels to imprint water colored paper. Candy encouraged us to look at the videos by Nik the Booksmith to make funky little books/journals.
**Those who attended Barbara Close’s March 2/3 workshop had their work on display on the back table.
Presentation:
**Kimmi did a great job of presenting us with little folders of her Elliot Font, lovingly named after her dog, Elliot. She demonstrated how she makes her letters and numbers and where to add weight to them. She also suggested we make them snuggle up against each other for a more pleasing layout.
