Country Papercraft
Monthly Newsletter
April, 2011
Greetings! 
Another month has flown by - Christmas will be here before we know it!

Once again, we have had mailing issues with papers not arriving in time to make up the D'luxe Designer Kits in time for the newsletter, so we will be showcasing the layouts in the Mid Monthly Newsletter. We apologise for this happening for another month.

This month we bid adieu to Lee, hopefully only for a short while.  Lee is taking a short sabbatical, but promises to return in the near future. We look forward to Lee once again finding the time to create for the newsletter and blog.

We are very pleased to announce that Barbie (aka Scrapping Queen) has finally agreed to joining the Design Team.  Barbie is definitely a Scrapping Queen having posted over 800 layouts in the gallery in the short 3 years that the gallery has been running.  We look forward to seeing Barbie's layouts in the newsletter, and wish her the warmest welcome from the Design Team.

Winners for March are;

Weekend Challenge - Thelma
Blog Challenge - Bramblebabe

Congratulations!


Country Papercraft Team
Marg, Michelle, Leonie, Lee, Michelle F, Rach & Barbie.

Unfortunately due to freight and mailing the Designers have only just received their kits, so we will feature the Designers examples in the Mid Monthly newsletter.

We have changed the format of the newsletters, taking the stress of the Designers creating layouts for so many different categories.  We will now be posting the usual Designer Challenges on the BLOG - We will still be giving out prize vouchers for those who create layouts using the blog challenges, weekend challenges, and the kit challenge - So don't forget to get your layouts into the gallery by the end of each month to be in the running for a voucher.
 
The Designers still wish to be challenged each month by using up their stash and showcasing new products available in the online store.  This month we are using up Basic Grey, and our own "Basic Grey Queen" has excelled at creating such wonderful layouts.
