This month we have another of my favourite challenges, a COLOUR Challenge and this one is awesome, some of the CT girls werent too sure on the colours to start with but loved the end results and I am sure you will too!!!

Our sponsors for this month are...

SCRAP THERAPY...
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.scraptherapy.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.

Our freight charges for orders up to $25 is $9.00, orders between $25 to $100 stay at $6 and orders over $100 are now free. 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.

KIU July Winners & Important Information!

There are some changes to how our winners are now selected, this goes for my other sites, White With 1 and Scrap The Boys, from now on there will be 1 CT winner, 1 Random winner and if there is a third sponsor I will alternate between a 2nd random winner and a winner picked by myself.

After I had some information back from readers of the Scrap The Boys blog I have thought a lot about how to make it fairer for everyone involved in regards to winning prizes, I know that there are a lot of challenge sites out there and sometimes it may seem that the same people are winning, I do try not to have this happen on my sites, I dont have a lot of spare time to see who wins other challenges however I do try and make sure that the same people dont win over and over again here, I hope you find the new voting/winning system to be fair....

Also when we have an International entry that is picked by a large number of the CT for our HM vote they will now be offered a Guest CT spot, so if you are an International reader keep an eye out each month to see if your entry and been picked!!!

Here are our winners...

The winner of the $25.00 Voucher from SCRAP THERAPY is...

The winner of the $35.00 Voucher from SCRAP FRIENDS is...

A LIL SOMETHIN'...

The majority of our products are made using re-purposed materials and a lot of love.

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 with both local and international designers which includes the very talented Di Garling, Chantal Vandenberg, Elena Olinevich, Fiona Johnstone, Kelly Foster, Keren Tamir, Leonie Neale-Dawson, Linda Eggleton, Marilia Lopes and Vicky Alberto.

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.

2 Crafty are sponsoring a $20.00 product pack.
