Scrap The Boys November Challenge.

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 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

STB OCTOBER CHALLENGE...

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.

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.

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!!!!

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!

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.
