Scrap the Boys: October 2012

Please read the below if you are going to enter the Scrap The Boys 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.

* The challenges are boy orientated so the only stipulation we have is that the layout has to be about "boys".
It is acceptable for you to appear in the photo with your boys as they wouldn't be here if it weren't for their mother.

* Since August we now have ONE winner that is 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.

October, I still cant believe it, daylight savings starts next Sunday for us here in Tassie, my birthday is this month, Harper will be 10 months old on the 20th of this month and we only have 84 days until Christmas...
How has that happened so fast!!!!!

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!

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.

CHARMS CREATIONS...

A bit about Charms Creations....

I started creating my Lovely Lollipops just for my own scrapbooking pages in about February/March of this year. I saw that Scrapbooking Top 50 had a Craft Market that gives the opportunity to sell your own handmade embellishments, so thought I would make a few packets up and see how it goes! It went really well, so I thought I would make a few more packs up and try my hand selling them on my own personal blog too - my first sale was in April. That went really well too! I've had a sale a month, plus have been a regular at the Craft Market at SBT50 too. I've also set up a Facebook Shop where I have them available as well. I have LOTS of giveaways so to keep updated on those & upcoming sales - make sure you LIKE my Charms Creations Facebook Page & check out my blog Charms Creations!

Each and every embellishment that I have created has been handcut {making them ALL totally unique} and can include a mixture of felt, fabric, lace, hessian, doiley & any other interesting piece of material I can find. They are finished off with a button and cross-stitches that are also as unique to the embellishment! I have started making different styles and sizes of Lovely Lollipops, Luscious Lollipops & Page Runners. Something NEW are my Suns and Clouds too! I have also dabbled in a bit of clay stamping too. So, if you are looking for something totally unique and one of a kind please pop on over and check them out!

I am soooo excited about sponsoring this month - and look forward to seeing what you all create! Have fun & Good Luck on winning the fab prizes up for grabs - including mine of course... heheh!

Charms Creations are offering a $20.00 Voucher.
