Scrap the Boys: November 2011

Hey Everyone

Just a quick message for all the readers of Kraft It Up, White With 1 and Scrap The Boys...

I am having some major computer issues at the moment and my laptop is off to see someone who can hopefully work out what is wrong with it and fix it tomorrow...

I am therefore, depending on how long it takes to get fixed, could be out of action for a while, hopefully not too long but it may mean that there will not be the monthly challenge posted on the 1st and if you are waiting for emails from me there may be a delay there as well..

I am using my daughters computer at the moment however it doesnt have all of my images from the CT on it which will cause a delay until I get mine back...

Please bear with me, fingers crossed I am back up and going very very soon, that is until this baby decideds to come which will hopefully be after I get the computer back LOL!

Thanks for your understanding...

November is here and I am sure like the rest of the year going to fly by...

Last month was another month full of AMAZING entries, thanks to everyone who participated!

This month we have two NEW sponsors for SCRAP THE BOYS, Greatest View & Joyful Scraps, please make sure that you head over and check them out without their generosity we wouldnt be able to have such a wonderful blog!

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!

Greatest View is offering a $20.00 voucher.

JOYFUL SCRAPS...

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 Scra ps 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!
