Somewhat Organized Stampers is a stamp/papercraft club in the Kansas City area.  We meet the third Thursday (usually) of every month at 6:00pm at Stamper’s Ink in Shawnee.  There is a challenge every month; in addition there is a demo or make-n-take.  Club meetings are FREE!  If you are a stamper/papercrafter (or would like to be), consider joining us at our next meeting!  If you would like more information, contact Stamper’s Ink at (913) 248-7826 or email me:Click here to email me!

2011 Club Calendar
We will be doing a club calendar for 2011.  Each participant will prepare 12 pages for a single month.  The format is 5 1/2″ wide by 8 1/2″ tall (half of a letter-size page).  We will assemble the calendar in December.  The calendar will be bound at the top, so be sure to leave about 1/2″ undecorated at the top of your pages.  If you would like a cover for your calendar, be sure to bring that as well.
