A Stitch in Time
Hi  
 
 
So did you take up the opportunity to have a spend up in the EOFYSS?  There were plenty of bargains to be had.

Finally we have been able to get back in store a large range of Kindy Glitz, as well as Glossy Accents - which is as hard to get as 1 Powerball!

The New Darkroom Door Range of Robotic Stamps have arrived, and I must say these are just way too cute! I can see they will be perfect for all age of boys layouts and birthday cards.


The Design School is running brilliantly, and it is absolutely wonderful to see the fantastic layouts being created and posted 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.
 

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!



TIME & COLOUR




The Designer's were challenged this month to use the colours above, and they must also include the word TIME on their layouts.

Today's Designer Tip
 
Are you sick of those ribbons that they use to hang your clothes on in the shops? Simply cut them off - a cheap ribbon stash will start to build soon... I get all my friends to save theirs for me.
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:
 
'Every person is a new door to a different world' - taken from the movie 6 Degrees of Separation

A STITCH IN TIME....

In this edition the Designers show how stitching on their layouts can be a very useful embellishment and very simple to do.  You don't have to own a sewing machine to be able to stitch.  You can use a simple running stitch with a bit of embroidery thread, or if you are game a little cross stitch just to add the final touch to your layout.






BONDING - created by Julie

Julie uses a simple cross stitch around her photos and to attach the Grungeboard Heart to her layout.






STONY CREEK - created by Julie

Julie has stitched circles on her layout giving the layout a look of movement.









ALWAYS BRING YOUR OWN SUNSHINE - created by Deb

Deb received a sewing machine for her birthday, so this challenge was a great opportunity to try it out.  She has used the zig zag stitch to create a border around her layout.
