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.


 

Congratulations to this month's SURPRISE DESIGNER - Ruth Simpson!

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!

Today's Designer Tip
 
Are you sick of glue or sticky bits all over your desk? Do you have glitter everywhere, each time you use it?  Simple solution - and you are helping the environment too by recycling - use a telephone book! Simply open up the book - use it as your protective paper - then when finished - simply stick the page to the previous one - Voila - no mess on your desk!
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:
 
'Life is either a great adventure - or nothing' - Helen Keller

 
 
 
 
SEAL ROCKS - created by Lynlee
 
Lynlee uses Basic Ambrosia range of papers and alphas, along with AdornIT's alpha stickers.  Lynlee has edited her photo to have the quote printed on the photo.

 
 
 
WEARING DAD'S HAT - created by Michelle

Michelle uses KAISERscrapbooking's NEW Duchess papers, alphabets & embroidered patches to create her layout, along with AdornIT's alpha stickers, and Green Tara blossoms.


BLOG SKETCHES
 
 
Have you discovered the "Weekly Sketches" on the blog yet?  Each Tuesday one of the Designers will have a new sketch on the blog.  Just something to give you a little inspiration to scrap. 


What no Picture?


Do you ever have the situation that you need to scrap - but don't have a photo to scrap of the event?  Come on - you know you do.  This month the Designers show us how to overcome this occurrence.

USING UP YOUR STASH

  The Designers have discovered they have way too many older products in their stashes, so in order to make room for all the new products coming onto the market in the near future, we were challenged to use up all our older product ranges.  This newsletter we were challenged to make a dent in our Crate Paper




1973 - created by Lynlee
