NJOYFULL CRAFTS...
While travelling throughout Australia, I realised that I was unable to buy online all the unique ribbons, lace and embellishments I was finding in local stores.  I knew there was a market and a need out there waiting to be tapped into. 
With plenty of experience running previous businesses, I established Njoyfull Crafts in July 2011, which can be found at www.njoyfullcrafts.com.au. 
Njoyfull Crafts specialises in ribbons, braid, lace, embellishments, flowers, leaves, sequins, pearls and burlap. Since July 2012, the store also stocks a large range of 12 x 12 cardstock and letters from American Crafts and Bazzill Basics Paper.
Narelle is also aiming to sell her own creations. Currently she stocks her own hand-knitted scarves, which will increase closer to winter.
Free postage on any orders over $99.

There is a monthly challenge, visit http://njoyfullcraftschallenge.blogspot.com.au/ for the latest task. 




** Please include note from beginning of March, starting from 17th March until approx Mid July, Product Orders will be unable to be distributed due to being overseas.
Customers are welcome to register and still place orders.  
When registered, then I will be able to send a Newsletter out advising of my return.

Our Guest Designer for December is Wanda Heron from Canada..

Hello, my name is Wanda Heron. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. I have been married 22+ years to a special man, Mark, and we have one son Mitchell. Mitchell is 16, driving now, and generally growing up too fast! Both of my ‘boys’ provide constant inspiration and encourage me to challenge myself to do and be the best person I can be. I have been told I have an infectious laugh and a warm spirit. I try to honor these traits at every opportunity.

I have always had a creative heart. Even from an very early age the right side of my brain was definitely stronger than my left! I was introduced to scrapbooking by my wonderful mother-in-law when my son was just little. But, returning to University when Mitchell was 1 year old put other things first. About 2 years ago a good friend asked me if I would like to attend a “Weekend Scrapganza”. I packed up my little bag and off I went to give my hand a try at this art form. I was flabbergasted by the volume of people and the amount of luggage they brought. Now I am one of them – rolling my multiple suitcases of paper and supplies to Crops whenever I can!

My style is ever evolving and is only slightly dampened by the fact that my one child is a boy. I put flowers and lace wherever I can! I like vintage and shabby chic, and combining with these two just the right amount of ‘grunge’. Most of all my pages are a story, and in the best way I can they retell the moment, the feeling, the emotions from the past. I try my best to not be held to any conventions of what things should look like and follow the map that is in my head. I love completing challenges not just for the great ideas they provide but also the deadline that is put in front of me. 

Scrap the Boys is a favorite blog of mine. The design team is fabulous and their challenges have great variety. I hope you will join in on the fun of showing us your non-traditional Christmas color scheme. Here is my take on it. 

If you like there are close-ups of this on my blog TwoMakeDo at http://twomakedoscrapbooking.blogspot.com. 



OUR DECEMBER CHALLENGE...

This month we want to see you create a layout using a Christmas themed photo and a Non Traditional colour scheme.

*Please make sure when you link your layout that you add your country as well as your name, you have until 11.59pm December 31st.
