I still can't believe it has been a year since we started Kraft It Up, hoping that it was going to be something that everyone wanted to be a part of, hoping that you shared our love of Kraft and that we would provide plenty of inspiration for our readers.
I want to say a HUGE thank you to our sponsors who have so very generously donated prizes each month to our readers, part of Kraft It Up's success is due to having amazing store owners like you who continue to support our site.
To our Creative Team members, past and present, a big thank you to all of you for all your hard work creating amazing layouts that provide inspiration to our readers and also having the very hard task of having to vote each month...
Lastly I want to thank YOU our readers, without your support and participation we wouldn't be here, we love seeing everyone's takes on the challenges each month so thank you for all your hard work creating stunning layouts for us...
Here are this months 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 has 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 Kraft it Up! And hope you enjoy playing along with the wonderful challenges that the girls set for you.

LAUREN BELL...
My name is Lauren Bell.
I live on a cattle property in Queensland with my farmer husband and 3 little darlings (sometimes!), Lachlan (6), Michala (4)and Darcie (1).
I started scrapping not long after Lachlan was born and was hooked pretty much straight away!
My style is constantly changing and I love drawing inspiration from fellow scrappers through magazines and the WWW.
Most of my layouts are either on white or Kraft cardstock.
I love being part of the KIU team - the rest of the CT amaze me with what they produce every
