Country Papercraft's
May's Mid Monthly Newsletter
May 15, 2009 |
| Hi
Good Morning, is it crisp around your place? This morning it was way to brisk for my liking - a sure sign that winter is arriving. Now I have a reason to stay inside in front of the fire and scrap.
Lots of new products have arrived in store lately. And we are pleased to announce that Country Papercraft is the ONLY stockist of Pink Persimmon Clear stamps in the WHOLE of Australia. If you would like to get hold of these stamps I think you had better hurry as they will sell out fast. Check out the BLOG for Lynlee's Designer Review on these stamps.
Design School is underway with over 30 ladies enrolled in class. This week's class is History - with the class taking scrappers out of their comfort zone in an effort to create a heritage type layout. Check out the class' work in the GALLERY.
Until next time....
Stay safe 'n' happy scrapping

SCRAPPIN' AT THE ROCK
With the Shop now up and running, Marg is able to cater for mini retreats more often, rather than a couple of large camps twice a year. This means there are more times available for you to choose to attend a Scrapping Retreat at Country Papercraft.
Marg has dates available, so why not grab a group of friends, and chose a date that suits you and scrap for the whole weekend. Any one who attends one of the scrap retreats always come away learning something new, making new friends, and having a whole lot of fun.

Surprise Designer Competition
Each month one lucky shopper is chosen as a Surprise Designer. It is simple to enter, all you have to do is register in the FORUM and then place an order in 2 consecutive months. There is no limit to the amount you spend each month, just place an order. Each month one lucky shopper is chosen and when they receive their order in the mail they will receive a Surprise Designer Kit. All you do then is create your layouts, cards, mini albums, what ever you wish to create with your kit. Unlike the Designer kits you may add whatever elements you wish with the kit to create your layouts.
This Month's Surprise Designer is Tina
Unfortunately, there is little interest in the Surprise Designer Kits - so they will no longer be available for sale through the store. WE WILL BE CONTINUING WITH THE SURPRISE DESIGNER - SO PLACE YOUR REGISTER AND PLACE YOUR ORDER TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN THE SURPRISE DESIGNER KIT!
Decorated Lunch Tin
Awesome use of the kit Tina, and congratulations on being May's Surprise Designer

Keep a notepad in your scrapping tote - this way you can write down things you run out or products you need whilst you are scrapping - you then have the makings of a shopping list for the next time you place your next scrapbooking order.

Quote Challenge
Quotes are a great source of inspiration, and also an important part of scrapbooking - they can say so much about a layout, a feeling, a moment in time. Deb will each month be challenging us all to use a particular quote in our scrapbooking. Even, if at this time you are unable to scrap with the quote, make sure you write them down for a time when inspiration strikes.
This month's quote is:
'Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the
greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those
who don't believe in the magic will never find it!' - Roald Dahl
Ryan - created by Leonie
Leonie uses Pink Paislee "Fetching" & KAISERcraft Rub ons
QUOTE - created by Deb
Deb uses DreamStreet 'Mod Posy', Carolee's Creations Alphabet Stickers, KAISERcraft Rhinestone Shapes
