Kraft It Up JUNE Challenge

Welcome to June half way through 2011, the first day of winter which surprisingly isn't too bad here in Tassie a balmy 7 degrees, maybe it should have been earlier in the week when we had 2 degrees at lunchtime LOL!

Anyhow last month we had a fantastic response to our No Patterned Paper challenge a record 73 entries!!!!

This month we have 3 fabulous sponsors and a fantastic challenge, we also say goodbye to Lou Nelson, Tara Scobie, Nic Pomeroy, Lauren Bell, Melinda Thompson, Felicity Wilson and Michelle Winston, I want to thank them for all they have contributed to Kraft It Up over the past year, it was an absolute blast having them on the team and I will miss them....

The new Creative Team Members will be announced later this month...

JULY'S SPONSORS...

SCRAP THERAPY...
Danny and I purchased Scraptherapy as a small, pre-existing online store in July 2008, as a small part-time venture. Since then we have seen amazing growth, now offering over 10,000 products.

We have closed our other business to focus wholly on Scraptherapy, opening a Paper Craft Bricks and Mortar store in Babinda, FNQ to run in conjunction with the online site. During the last 2+ years we have learnt a whole load of stuff about e-commerce, scrapbooking, cardmaking and the people who love these hobbies.

At www.scrapthearpy.com.au you will find a fantastic gallery filled with inspiring ideas, a great community of ladies and an odd guy or two in our online forum. Our Design Team backed up by our Big Sisters offer regular competitions and challenges to help you find your mojo, and a chance to win a shopping voucher or two. Then of course there is the shop where we hope you will find all the latest and greatest products at great prices. If you can’t find what you are looking for feel free to contact me at lee-anne@scraptherapy.com.au and check to see if we can get it in for you. We often can.

All our freight is fixed at $6 whether you choose our express post service or our postage with insurance option, and orders over $60 will get a little bonus pressie popped in with their order.

I love scrapbooking and Danny can whip up a pretty good card, but our true passion is excelling in great customer service, which we hope to continue to do for years to come.

Scrap Therapy have donated a $25.00 voucher.


2 CRAFTY....
2Crafty strives to offer affordable and versatile laser cut chipboard products to the Australian and International Craft market.

2Crafty’s products are manufactured here in Australia and offer products suitable for scrapbooking, cardmaking, altered art, invitations and mixed media, and with over 700 designs, every area has been covered.

2Crafty’s owner Vanessa, stumbled on the demonstration of the laser cutter at one of the Sydney craft fairs back in 2006 and although her background was Human Resources and payroll her creative mind could see unlimited possibilities and so began her journey into the world of a craft wholesaler.

2Crafty designs are supported both locally and in the overseas market and Vanessa strives to offer the highest level of customer support, and is happy to discuss personalized orders with customers via their local scrapbooking store.

2Crafty also offers a fabulous blog that is updated weekly with projects created from its wonderful Design Team which includes the very talented Anthea Peterson, Kerryn Fry, Belinda Howlett, Susan Longman and 2011 Master – Michelle Winston.

The 2Crafty website, although a wholesale website, offers you a birds eye view of all the wonderful designs that it offers. Make sure you check out the stockist list and don’t be afraid to ask your local store to order products that they may not have in stock.

2Crafty is delighted to be sponsoring SCRAP THE BOYS! and hope you enjoy playing along with the wonderful challenges that the girls set for you.

2 Crafty are sponsoring a $25.00 product pack.
