KRAFT IT UP MARCH CHALLENGE

Welcome to the Kraft It Up March Challenge, this month we have a great challenge and the Creative Team members have done an amazing job with their examples, we have 3 fabulous sponsors and they 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.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.

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.

HANDMADE BY SUZANNE...
Handmade By Suzanne stocks all your favourite scrapbooking and crafting brands at reasonable prices. New stock is arriving weekly and we recognise that customers are seeking the latest and greatest which is where a lot of our time is spent researching to keep up with it all.

We offer customer service beyond your expectations with a policy of “customers for life”. Orders are shipped within 24 hours of payment received and in most cases the same day.

POLLY SCRAP KITS & SUPPLIES
A bit about Polly!

Hi my name is Kayla and I started Polly! Scrap Kits as a bit of hobby business around my Uni commitments. I
love scrapbooking with friends and playing with new products, which prompted me to start a scrap shop! As a new business, Polly! has been growing with new customers and friendly friends throughout the year.
A business that started through a blog & Facebook page has now grown to have it’s own website, gallery & forum. It’s a big step for the business, but has been a fun experience. Polly! stocks monthly kits and scrapbooking supplies.
Some of my favourite supplies include; twine, thickers, mists, masks and lots of embellishments. Polly! has two awesome designers, Felicity Wilson & Ebony van der Starre who create beautiful things from Polly!’s exclusively designed kits.
They also run monthly challenges on the forums, which give you the chance to win Polly! vouchers for the store.
I hope to see you over @ Polly! Scrap soon.

Polly Scrap Kits is offering their stunning February Kit, Pucker Up valued at $38.50, you can view all the details reagrding the kit HERE and make sure you check out what else they have on offer...


GREATEST VIEW...

At etsy shop Greatest View, you’ll find an always-changing selection of unique and handmade embellishments for scrapbooking and paper crafts.

It comes from creator Gail Lindner’s personal need – too much patterned paper and not enough versatile embellishments to go with it!

“I love scrapbooking and paper crafting and am always on the lookout for interesting and different embellishments, not the mass produced kind! I scrap by colour so that’s my main inspiration for the shop. I start with a fun, inspiring colour scheme and then get creating!”

Be sure to visit the shop Greatest View and Gail’s blog for updates on new products and plenty of inspiration!

AND exciting news . . . Greatest View has a new blog and design team coming soon!

Greatest View is offering a $20.00 voucher.

SCRAPWARE....

Scrapware is an Australian owned and operated wholesale business, located in Croydon, Victoria.

Created by Ange Connolly following her passion for scrapbooking, card making and “all things creative”, Scrapware designs and laser cuts embellishments and beyond the page projects. After spending some time teaching Scrapbooking classes, Ange identified the need for good quality, innovative and fresh embellishments for scrapbooking/card making and off the page projects to complement products already on the market.

From this, Scrapware was born!

Always striving to create new and innovative products to add to their existing broad range, Scrapware releases new products regularly. Trends and ideas are constantly changing and evolving, and with this in mind, Scrapware is also constantly evolving and along with her design team, spends many hours designing new products.

For inspiration, you can visit us at www.scrapware-oz.blogspot.com and also come see us on Facebook - Scrapware Australia.

Scrapware has donated a $20.00 prize pack.

JOYFUL SCRAPS...
My name is LeAnne Payne and I am the owner, operator and creative force behind Joyful Scraps. Joyful Scraps has been in business for four years and is going from strength to strength. Our retail online store is open 24 hours a day so you can shop in your pj's if you want to - wink.

Joyful Scraps has fantastic range of classes and weekend away retreats to keep our customers creatively energized.

Joyful Scraps has a huge range of products for all levels of scrap booker. Joyful Scraps has a monthly embellishment pack to help your creative mojo along.

Our motto is "make your dollar go further with Joyful Scraps". And our focus is on customer service. Every customer is important to us.

I have been a scrap booker officially for about 7 years now. Before I ever heard of scrapbooking I was putting together journals and 'this is your life' inspired family tributes. And as a young girl I had a love for stationery, when I found scrapbooking I felt like all the planets had aligned :)

My style is influenced by what I have to play with, owning Joyful Scraps gives me an opportunity to source fantastic products that I know scrap bookers will love.

Recently we have updated our logo to include this delightful Tortoise. The reason for doing this is that just like the children's fable of the Hare and the tortoise, Scrap booking is not a race, it is a journey, so be a tortoise!

A happy day for me is when my family is happily occupied so that I can create!

Joyful Scraps is offering a $20.00 Voucher
