Greetings!
Where did June sneak off to - it seems like it was only yesterday that we were talking about the end of the financial year and voila here it is!
Marg & Neil are busy replacing the tin roofs on the cabins so that they don't leak water. In amongst packaging up all the orders from the stocktake sale. Did you get a few good bargains?
This month's newsletter brings to you a new Designer Kit and a whole new bunch of challenges.
Don't forget to get your layouts uploaded into the correct gallery to be in the draw for the voucher at the end of the month.
cheers,

Because so many of us are time poor, this month Michelle challenged the Designers to create a layout in just 30 minutes.
How would you go creating a layout in such a short amount of time? Why not have a go. Upload your layouts in the GALLERY to go into the Draw for the July Challenge Prize Voucher.
THE LOOK - created by Michelle F
Michelle said that all the items within arms reach of her, most of them on her desk from her previous layout. Using Carolee's Creations AdornIT alphas, Green Tara Blossoms, Basic Grey Fibres, Tim Holtz Film Strip, AC Thickers, Pink Paislee Papers.
 FLY - created by Rach Rach uses White Out Range, which is no longer in stock, KAISERcraft Rub ons, Carolee's Creations AdornIT alphabets. Rach says that as the papers were already distressed, her layout was basically a cut and paste job.  EASTER SUNDAY 2010 - created by Lee Lee says speed scrapping is her thing, with a limited amount of time most of her layouts take around the 30 minute mark so this challenge was perfect for her. Lee uses Jenni Bowlin Papers, KAISERcraft Alphabets, Pink Paisley Paper Tape, Jenni Bowlin Chip Button. Now it is your turn to take on this challenge. Don't forget to upload your layout into the challenge section of the gallery to go into the draw to win a gift voucher at the end of the month.

USING UP YOUR STASH CHALLENGE
I don't think you ever realise how much stash you have until you start sorting through it to find the stash for this challenge - So in an effort to use up more of our stash (and make room for new stuff) the Designers challenge you to use up some of your stash!
As this month's Designer Kit featured Bella papers, we thought that it would be time to use up some of our other Bella paper Ranges.
By using up some of your stash - and loading your creations in to the GALLERY by the end of July, you will qualify to go into the draw to win the Monthly Challenge Prize Voucher
YOUR LOVE - created by Leonie Leonie uses the final pieces of scraps from this range to create her layout using the Bella Sarah Jane range MOMENTS - created by Rach Using Bella's Sarah Jane Papers  BE YOURSELF - created by Rach Using Bella's Summerhouse papers and Crochet Flowers  US - created by Lee Lee says she doesn't have much Bella in her stash as she uses it all the time.
