IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read the below if you are going to enter KIU challenges, this is just an update of some of our rules for this challenge site...

* Firstly and most importantly your entry MUST be created and ONLY entered for this challenge and NOT be used for any other challenge site.

* This leads to the next point which I have been thinking about for a while and have been receiving feedback about, your layout that you have created for THIS challenge site can not be used as a Design Team requirement for another store or challenge site. 
- You are more than welcome to use products that a certain site/handmade store sells and can also have in your post for example, (the polka dot buttons are from Purple Pumpkin or the chevron badges are from the Greatest View etc...) but it cant be created for a DT/CT assignment.


 * International entries now get voted on for a chance to win a Guest Creative Team Spot, the above rules still apply to our International readers, you must create your entry for this site only and not use it for any other challenges or DT requirements.

* Your creations for this site MUST be created on Kraft cardstock or Kraft patterned paper.

* Since August we now have TWO winners that are voted by the CT or myself and a Random winner along with our Guest CT winner which is voted by the CT on our International reader entries.
 
I hope you understand why these rules are in place, there are so many challenge blogs out there, we are just trying to make an even playing field for everyone.

KIU October Challenge & 1st Birthday Sale at Scrap Friends...

I hope I am not the only one that can't believe it is October....

Now that blogger has changed to the "new look blogger" I have increased the size of the layout images, so I am wondering if you can leave some feedback as to whether you like this size or the old smaller size? 

Head to the bottom of the post for all the details regarding Scrap Friends, 1st Birthday Sale! 

This month we have a fantastic challenge and the Creative Team has outdone themselves with some amazing examples for you, we hope you like the challenge and play along this month!! 

Our Sponsors 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 Linkand 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.


A LIL SOMETHIN'...
We are 2 scrapping sisters who love to make and use hand crafted embellishments on our layouts.

We both have boys, and have noticed a severe lack of BOY SPECIFIC embellishments available for purchase, so have decided that we might try to fill the void with our hand crafted unique embellishments.

We currently have monthly sales with a selection of kits available … in Neutral, Boy, Girl and Themed…
The majority of our products are made using re-purposed materials and a lot of love.

We will be having limited edition sales on a regular basis, our sale dates are listed on our BLOG here http://alilsomethin.blogspot.com.au/ and facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Lil-Somethin/214356835255412

A Lil Somethin' are offering a $15.00 Product Pack.


SCRAP FRIENDS...

We offer our customers exclusive products on the Australian market as well as other well known products from different brands.

Check out our range of flowers, exclusive paper, cardstock and chipboards.

We also offer lovely customer service and unbeatable prices, if you find any product cheaper anywhere else - we'll beat it.

Scrap Friends are offering a $35.00 voucher



KIU OCTOBER GUEST CREATIVE TEAM MEMBER...

LENE NEBY - NORWAY
My name is Lene Neby, I'm 38 years young, I live in Hamar / Norway with my husband Knut and our 5 children ( 3 boys and 2 girls). 

When i don't drive my children to activities and practise, I love to scrapbook - that's my passion!
I have always been a crafty person but I really got addicted to scrapbooking in 2007 when I was home with our youngest daughter.
You will probably see pictures of our 2 girls on my layouts, the boys in my familiy tend to flee when they see me with a camera.


I'm totally addicted to details and misting on my layouts -  and I love to make my own backgrounds.


HERE IS LENE'S STUNNING EXAMPLE FOR THIS MONTHS CHALLENGE...
