A little note from me..

I just want to let you know one of the reasons things have been delayed this month, apart from having laptop issues at the start of the month, this little bundle of joy arrived on the 20th December, so I am sure you can understand why things are running a little late.
We are on target for January's post to be live on the 1st and just remember you have until the 7th January to link your December layouts.

Firstly our sponsors for December...

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!

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES...

2011-11-28T17:35:00.001+11:00

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!

Joyful Scraps is offering a $20.00 Voucher

HERE IS THIS MONTHS CHALLENGE...

**SHOW US YOUR COLOURS**

We have recently had the AFL & NRL grand finals, the Rugby World Cup, the US Open etc so this month we want a layout of your boys or men showing their colours.
Please note that it does not have to be limited to footy or rugby, it can also include soccer, Touch Footy, Cricket, Tennis and sport that your child or hubby loves but you MUST make sure you have a photo of them in their colours!

STB OCTOBER CHALLENGE...

2011-10-01T21:30:00.004+10:00

This month at Scrap The Boys we have another fabulous challenge for you, lots of stunning inspiration from the Creative Team and 2 fabulous sponsors, Scrapbooking From Scratch and Scrapware, please remember to support our sponsors as they so generously support us!!!!

SCRAPBOOKING FROM SCRATCH...

My name is Peta. I am married to Jason and we have 4 children, Zac, Meah, Caleb & Sienna.

I have been scrapbooking since 2003. My interest started after being invited to a Creative Memories workshop at a friends place. I still use my CM products, and recommend highly their range of tools.

But my true scrapping addiction started once I found the huge range of products available when attending a local lady's workshops in 2005. Unfortunately she decided to stop teaching and my girlfriend said I should start up teaching, even if we just do it as a get together... well that now seems like so many years ago. I am holding classes every week and I have also held 3 home based retreats as well.

My friends & customers love the fact that they can come to my classes and receive a pack of product and instruction to complete their pages, not too much thought on their behalf, so hence where "scrapbookingfromscratch" has come from.

My goal is to bring my home classes to your home in a conveniently packaged purchase for you to complete these gorgeous pages too.

Check out Scrapbooking From Scratch now...

Scrapbooking From Scratch are donating 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 .

LINDY GILLESPIE...

Hi my name is Lindy Gillespie& I live in sunny Brisbane . I am married with 2 grown up children Craig and Kate and an obnoxious cat called Java -and like any animals are very much part of the family.

I have been scrapping for about 7 years + & first stumbled across a bricks and mortar store which caught my eye so i had to investigate to my surprise was immediately addicted ....

I'm not sure that I have a particular scrapping style....it is forever changing. Atm i'm a bit addicted to paint and misting and most of my work have at least a couple of flowers and a number of embellisments on them. There are many that inspire me love seaching through the home magazines and the colour catalogues.
Lindy's Blog: http://wwwjustanotherday.blogspot.com/

JEANENNE GALE...

My name is Jeanenne Gale and I live in a country NSW. I am a full time working mum (busy teacher), happily married to a very patient husband (Troy) and have two beautiful children, Sophie (9) and Harry (3). I have been scrapping on and off for about 7 years and was introduced by to the craft by a friend who did a lot of cardmaking. After losing my mojo and having a big break I have recently rediscovered the joy that scrapbooking brings to me (spurred on by a wonderful friend), and love sharing my creations with others and preserving precious memories. For me, scrapbooking is me time! I love feeling different textures as well as splashing around with inks and paints. I love a good challenge that stretches me to use colours or products that I wouldn’t normally use!!!! I am so thrilled to be part of the Scrap The Boys Creative Team!!!!
Jeanenne's Blog: http://houseofscrap.blogspot.com/

RENEE ASLETTE...

My name is Renee Aslette and I live in Mackay in Far North Queensland. I have two boys Jackson (4) and Lucas (2). My husband is Adrian. Needless to say that I have an endless amount of boy photos!!! I have been scrapbooking for 4 years, but have really only started to find my style and the time to scrap since January this year!! So very excited to be on a design team I have admired for such a long time. Looking forward to seeing the work you ladies come up with!
Renee's Blog: http://reneeaslette.blogspot.com/
KAREN HANSSON...

My Name is Karen Hansson, I am a Tassie girl born and bred. Married to a very understanding Hubby. We have two children that regularly feature on my pages I was lucky

that I have one of each, a boy and a girl not to mention nieces and nephews.

I have been scrapping for the past 7 years, but in the last 12 months I have got so much more done due to having my own space. I guess my style is a little grungy if I actually have a style, I love to try new techniques and make my own embellishments. I am very excited to be apart of the team at Scrap the Boys and looking forward to my time on the CT.
Karen's Blog: http://myscrappinsanity.blogspot.com/

August Challenge 1: “In touch with his…”

2010-08-01T00:01:00.000+10:00

I am over the moon at the response we had last month on both our challenges…there are loads of very talented boy scrappers out there…and I feel very privileged that you have supported the blog and shared your beautiful layouts here. I especially want to thank those of you that are playing along from overseas as your work is inspiring and I know it is less tempting to share when you are not in the running for the prizes …so keep them coming:) Now for the challenge ….

I don’t know about you but I know I really struggle to put flowers on a boy page so the first challenge for August is to scrap a layout using flowers …to make it a little easier I will allow this one to be of you and your boy/s… Or if you can’t come at flowers …scrap about their feminine sides… or if you are feeling very clever… use both criteria.

This month our team was supplied with a fabulous pack of boy embellishments from one of our sponsors My 2 Angels and here is what our talented team put together for this challenge…

Once you have created your “In Touch With His…” layout for August...upload it to your personal blog or an online gallery and then using the “linky” tool below please follow the prompts and create your thumbnail link back to your layout here.

Please when you leave your name also pop your country…ie. Susan Longman – AUS…

Hi there, my name is Stacey and I live in Central Queensland with my darling husband of 7 years, Tim. We have 2 boys, Cooper (3 yrs) and Kobi (20 months). I am a little bit of a scrap addict and these 2 little cuties are my main source of inspiration. I have been scrapping for about 6 years but only really got into after the birth of Cooper and only found the online world of scrapping a couple of years ago. I had a background of painting on canvas before I fell in love with scrapbooking but I guess I have always loved art! I definitely have found my style and will be interesting to see how it changes as the boys grow up. I would call it collage-like, very busy, colourful, cute and layered:) My staple supplies would be paint, patterned paper, material.......actually I think there are too many to write down, basically the more I get on there the merrier..lol!! I have tried doing white space but it just doesn't happen, I love to fill every inch!
Thankyou so much Susan, for asking me to join the team, it will be a pleasure working with such wonderful artists:) If you want to come visit my blog and say "hi" here it is www.staceyeyoung.blogspot.com

I have lurked around Stacey's blog for some time… but had not been able to contact her so I was not able to secure her for the team last month …but as luck would have it she emailed me last week with an enquiry as she had her layout picked up for publication and so i was able to ask her to share her talent with you all here…Stacey has a very unique way of creating boy layout as think she will inspire us to explore our arty sides :)

Hi everyone my name is Alita, I live in country NSW on the mid north coast in Taree with my wonderful husband Graeme and 3 girls, Syvonne, Brianna & Tegan. Three years ago we made the decision to purchase ScrapAWhile the local scrapbook store which is also a Kodak Express store and keeps us very busy. We are very lucky to have a talented and hard working Design Team including Tarrah McLean, Kim Jeffress, Kim Kendell, Kylie Symons, Tracey Manderson, Kellie Harrison and Amanda Rixon.

We have a busy forum with lots of challenges, swaps and good discussions on scrapbooking and all types of papercraft and try to keep the blog updated with as much as possible and also now have a group on Facebook. The store stocks lots of different brands and are always happy to order in for people.

We are really excited to see Scrap The Boys back in action and are proud to be one of the first sponsors back.

July 1st Challenge - “Just the Facts …”

2010-07-01T10:30:00.006+10:00

For the first challenge we thought we would make it a nice easy one…but something our busy lives forget to do….and that is capture the vital information of your boy right now.
So for your layout I would like you to use a portrait shot, one of those “nothing photos” (you know that photo you love but does not have a story or event attached to it) and record your boy’s vital statistics right now making sure you add in some quirky facts about them.
Here is what some of our team did with this challenge …
Once you have created your layout upload is to your personal blog or an online gallery and using the “mr linky” widget below link back to your layout.
Please when you leave your name also pop you country…ie. Susan Longman – AUS…then we will pop over to your blog, have a gander and leave some love… to be in the running for the prize you are required to have your layouts linked by the end of the month.

All links are now re-entered...if you do not appear here please add your link again :)

and there is me …

Hi my name is Susan Longman… I am an avid scrapper and love a good challenge. I am fortunate to have 2 beautiful children a boy, Ashton and a girl, Eve. Whilst I have never struggled with creating feminine pages early on in my hobby I did have difficulty creating masculine ones. So when I discovered this blog I was thrilled with the help it gave me….
I am honoured to be guardian of this extremely inspiring blog…founded by Sharryn Thomson the blog has evolved into a challenge blog for all you boy scrappers out there that need that little extra inspiration to get those boy pages done.
So I hope that you find this blog as inspirational as I did…

she is back to inspire us…

2010-06-27T10:27:00.001+10:00

Hi everyone, welcome back to Scrap the Boys!!

My name is Kerryn Fry and I live in Adelaide with my 2 beautiful boys, my partner of 15 years Shane and my gorgeous 6 year old son, Harrison. I started scrapping nearly 6 years ago and really couldn't imagine my life without it.

I originally started scrapping a memory album for my princess Bethany who was born still in 2001. A tough journey for me but very therapeutic. In 2007 I joined my first forum and first contest, the rest is history.

I love using techniques when I scrap, my pages are usually full and will generally have some dimension to them.

I am a self-confessed chipboard junkie, but a girl can NEVER have enough can they? and I love to ink.

Basically I just love to get messy!

It is awesome to see this fabulous challenge site up and going again and I am thrilled to be a part of the Scrap the Boys team.

I am really looking forward to tackling the challenges and can't wait to see everyone's work.

I am over the moon that Kerryn has agreed to come back to the Scrap the Boys team. Kerryn has been on the team since I took it over and continually brings inspiring layouts to the challenges. Her style is unmistakable and you are going to love her interpretation of the challenges we have for you over the coming months…if you are wanting a preview of the kind of work Kerryn does check out her BLOG here …

another brilliant “boy” scrapper…

2010-06-25T22:00:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone, I'm Anthea Peterson and I am a mum to 3 happy and energetic boys Josh, 8, Wesley, 5 and Zach, 3. I have been with my very understanding and supportive partner Shane for over 10 years now, he is currently serving in the Royal Australian Navy and I couldn't be prouder. We Live on the South Coast of NSW and it is gorgeous!!
I have been scrapbooking for about 7 years now and love it more and more every day. I am very fortunate to have been published in all of the Australian Magazines and to have had a lot of fabulous and exciting opportunities come my way since I started. Unfortunately my oldest is becoming sick of the camera in his face so I mainly scrap the 2 younger boys, because of this it means the photos I do get of Josh mean a lot more to me. I love that I can personalise the boys albums, add dates, journaling and pretty little things too.
I don't know how I would describe my style, sometimes its full of papers and layering and others its more simple, I do agree on one thing though, I love to work with nice bright products, ink the edge's of everything and I'm not afraid of putting a flower on a boys page =)
If your interested in checking out more of my work then you can find it on my blog here http://www.our-life-story.blogspot.com… I am very excited to be apart of this team =)

Anthea is one of the most amazing “boy” scrappers and I love her bright layouts…you are in for some very inspiring pages over the coming months…and I am thrilled she has agreed to join our fabulous team…want to check out her work…pop over to her blog.

more talent to inspire you…

My name is Anne-Marie Cox and I live in Perth, WA... I have also just realised I am 38 and a half. ;) I am married to Aaron, my childhood sweetheart and we have 5 little darlings; Brad 18, Callie 8, Dylan (who IS a girl but likes to dress like a bogan boy!) 5 and our darling boys Austin and Albert almost 15 months already. I am a SAHM but hope to finish my Bachelor of Business one day before I reach retirement age.

I have always loved paper and pens, I have always been a collector of ephemera and I have always kept some sort of diary or journal. So I think I have always been a scrapper of some description. Actually, for a long time I thought I invented it! ;) I was introduced to “scrapbooking” through Creative Memories about 5 years ago... but then found magazines and online forums and challenge blogs so I would say I started scrapping, as I know it now, about 4ish years ago.

My initial interest in scrapbooking was to record family history for my children but now I also scrap for me, for the fun of it and for the creative outlet. I have no idea what "my style" is and I like it that way. My taste in scrapping is much like my taste is music, a little bit of everything, so perhaps you could call me “eclectic”. I do like to include embellishments on my LOs that are relevant or symbolic to the story and I try to always include journaling on my pages.

Scrapbooking has also introduced me to many wonderful friendships. I have found so much inspiration, support and motivation from my fellow scrappers and I am so glad I finally found “my thing” in scrapbooking.

I was named a Scrapbooking Memories Master in 2008, I am currently teaching and doing DT work for Tomorrow’s Memories in Bassendean, WA and I have just started on the Twiddleybitz Design Team. I am absolutely thrilled to be involved with Scrap the Boys (having three of my own!) and I can’t wait to see what amazing creations everyone comes up with… bring on the first challenge! ;)

I have followed Anne-Maries scrapping for a very long time and am still amazed she has time with all those children…I am thrilled that she is joining our team as I love her style and she is sure to inspire you too …pop over to her BLOG and check out the type of work you may see soon.

Hello to all you scrappy peoples, My name is Kellie Lusted (AKA Kell) and I am very excited that STB’s is BACK! I live in a sleepy little mining town on the West Coast of Tasmania called Zeehan where it rains or snows most of the time! Along with my 2 fantastic kids Bailey and Ashlee and of course my darling Husband Andrew. I have been a scrapper now for over 6 years and still enjoy the hobby immensely. I would describe my style as... changing but still me! I LOVE challenges to get the creative juices flowing, makes me think outside the square. I tend to lean towards Kraft as my stable building block and build from there, but in saying that I have started liking using patterned paper backgrounds too. You will always see some sort of inking on my pages and freehand doodles around alphas or papers. I look forward to seeing everyone’s creations and getting new ideas for my boy pages! I am excited being part of the team for the revamped “STB’s” .
As you may or may not know Kell is another special person in my life…she and I have been friends for over 17 years now and for that alone she needs a medal…so I am stoked that she has agreed to be back on Scrap the Boys with me (not that she really had a choice…lol) if you don’t know her style and want to see the fabulous work she does pop over to her BLOG where she checks for tumbleweed… you are in for a treat!

Georgia joins “the boys”…

2010-06-24T10:00:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone, I am so happy to see Scrap the Boys back and to be part of this awesome team! My name is Georgia Keays and I live in Perth with my husband of 10 years Bill and our three kids, Lucy, Eliza and my little man Archie.
I started scrapping in January of 2008 and was very hooked very quickly. I really enjoy having a creative outlet and a bit of time to myself – to make up for my husband’s golf! – as well as the fabulous friendships I have made and of course preserving the memories of my little family.
I’d describe my style as very clean with a focus on design. My pages tend to have a lot of white space, stitching and my latest obsession - fabric. I use a massive amount of cardstock because I don’t seem to be able to put anything on a layout unless it is matted!
I’m am so looking forward to being inspired by you all.

Another fabulous “boy” scrapper joining our team…Georgia is a 2009 scrapbooking memories master and has a fabulously clean style…I am really looking forward to seeing what she has in mind for the challenges in the coming months… if you are curious to see her work before the first reveal pop over to her BLOG for a look see…
