Greetings!

Well all the talk of the looming election has finally come to a head with the Election being announced.  Is anyone considering starting a Scrapbook Party? I know they would get my vote. Now wouldn't that be a sight to see?

This month's newsletter brings to you a new Designer Kit and a whole new bunch of challenges.

We would also like for you to check out the NEW ECHO PARK RANGE! A gorgeous bright fun range of Papers and Embellishments. New to Australia!

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,

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!

This month Lee challenged us to use up some of our brads and eyelets. Now who doesn't have oodles of these stashed away?

By using up some of your stash - and loading your creations in to the GALLERY by the end of August,  you will qualify to go into the draw to win the Monthly Challenge Prize Voucher





A SLICE OF HEAVEN - created by Michelle F


Michelle uses Basic Grey Lime Rickey, and admits that she has millions of brads in her stash!




EVERY DAY - created by Michelle F

Michelle makes use of the Prima products packaging to create her layout using a few brads from her stash.





FOOD FIGHT No II - created by Rach

Rach uses October Afternoon Papers, and admits that she tends to reach for the stapler rather than use up her copious amounts of brads and eyelets.




This month's quote as chosen by Rach.

"LIFE ISN'T ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF, LIFE IS ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF" George Bernard Shaw

6 PACK V KEG - created by Rach

Rach uses Pink Paislee and October Afternoon to create her layout using this month's quote.


Why not create a layout using this month's quote and upload into the GALLERY before the end of August to go in the draw for the Monthly Challenge Prize Voucher.
