Julie, Julie,
Julie!
What are we going
to do without you?
Yes, it's true -
Our Fun Loving Julie has called it quits.
Her life, her
loves, her family have all taken her in a different direction. Her busy
schedule of work, renovating and family - not in that order - has meant that she
feels that she can no longer fully commit to being a Designer with Country
Papercraft.
It is with great
sadness that we bid her farewell, because I don't think those who read our
newsletter fully understand the amount of commitment that Julie has devoted to
the Designers. Julie was one of the inaugural Designers - and since then she
has been creating stunning layouts and challenges for each fortnightly
newsletter. Julie has been our Theme Junkie! Every quarter she organises us all
by collating all the themes that will feature in the next 3 months worth of
newsletters. Her dedication to creating these themes is priceless! I know I for
one will be missing her organisational skills.
Julie's forte is
creating boy layouts with that little twist - usually the addition of flowers
and bling! She has a great way with colour choices and combinations of
patterns. Julie has a flair for mini albums - which we all are in awe of. Her
ability to make others around her laugh is going to be sorely missed, as a
member of the Designers.
Julie, thank you
from the bottom of our hearts - we will truly miss you as a member of the Design
Team! We look forward to you still dropping in and chatting in the forum and
sharing your layouts in the gallery. I am sure you won't disappear from our
lives completely. And don't forget there is always
'Facebook'.
Thank you once
again - and we wish you all the best with whatever direction your life takes you
in from here. Thank you for your dedication and devotion to the Designers - you
will truly be missed!
We asked Julie to pick a couple of her favourite layouts that she has created over her time on the Country Papercraft Design Team. Here are her choices.
Julie - We are glad that you chose - because you have created so many wonderful layouts - it would be way too hard to choose!
On that note - a final word about the recent camp held last weekend - from all accounts it was a Raging success - many layouts were created. Lots of fun, lots of laughs - I hear also that someone tried renovating the shop a little to almost create 'Australia's first Drive Thru Scrap Shop'. A special thank you to those who travelled from near and far to attend the camp, Leonie and Julie from South Australia & Queensland, Lynn, Kris from Perth, Rach & Corrina from Esperance, Barbie, Rosemary, Kylie, Robin & Colleen - always fantastic to see your faces.
A special thanks to Renee - who worked tirelessly in the shop as well as organising the meals! You are a treasure!
Until Next Time
