June Announcement

Hello to my Creative Friends, I hope you are all well and have a little time to grab a cuppa as I send out my big announcement. Next week will be my last in the Wodonga Shopfront. After much thought and consideration I have decided to pack up my business and go closer to home, and also online. For those of you that know me, you will understand that I go forth with a very heavy heart. I will certainly miss your happy, friendly faces, not so much your grumpy-day faces, but your family updates, your fur-baby updates, sharing your photos and ideas, helping out with those hard to sort projects, and even the occasional coffee and catch up.

I am looking forward to being nearer to home, and taking a little much needed quality time to spend with family before I set myself up properly. Once Scrapville is all sorted I will be in touch to let you know when you can call in, or come along to a class. There will also be the option to purchase online. I intend to maintain a regular monthly class in Wodonga and a scrap day. As long as your details are correct I will keep you informed.

Scrapville will be open this Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm, and my final trading day is Saturday, 5th of July between 10am and 1pm. It would be nice if you'd like to take this opportunity to call in, and whilst there you might want to grab a final bargain at the Stocktake/Moving Sale.

The Scrapville Blog will remain up and running for the time being, as I would like to keep you updated with what comes next. I can still be contacted at
scrapville@iinet.net.au should you need to get in touch. The contact mobile number remains the same on 0478 806 289.

Also, please be sure to pick up any challenge layouts and cards that have not as yet been collected. I have attempted to return as many as I could prior to today, but still have unclaimed projects at Scrapville. Unfortunately the butcher next door is not keen to hold them!

I have loved being part of your creative journey, growing the passion.

May 2014 Newsletter


Hello everyone, welcome to our rather belated May Newsletter.  Our ScrapBursts had such a wonderful response, the variety and quality of the work has been just outstanding.  The start of a new month also means a new Sketch Challenge, so that is also out.  I hope you’ll feel inspired enough to join in and have a go.

We have added the Mixed Media classes into the calendar, so ensure you check all our class dates and times.  These classes run a little longer as we have to allow for all the layers applied and their drying times.   Our new instructors are turning out some great samples for our upcoming classes, so be sure to call in and see what’s coming up.  Scrapville will be introducing new & exciting bits and pieces shortly as well, so stay tuned.

SCRAPVILLE PHONES
Please be advised that we are still having problems with our phone line.  You can still email the shop, or call/text Janet on her mobile.  I am advised that it may take up to 2 weeks to repair this issue, so I apologize for any inconvenience.  Please note, the eftpos & credit card facilities are still available.

MOTHER’S DAY
I would like to wish everyone out there a very happy and enjoyable Mother’s Day on May 11th.  If it’s something you celebrate, or are celebrated to, just feel the love and enjoy.
Purchase a Gift Voucher for Mum and receive a Mother’s Day layout as our gift.  You can leave the photo on it, or simply replace it with one of your own which best suits your special occasion.

SCRAPBURSTS
Well I must say that I was a little in awe of all the wonderful ScrapBursts and Card Bursts that were created for our April Challenges.   Everyone really got on board and set to creating up a storm!  All the Challenges had a small window of criteria to meet, and this was well and truly covered each time.   With so many entries, and such an excellent quality as well, it was difficult choosing just one winner from each challenge.  Thanks again to everyone who joined in, and to the Creative Team girls for putting up beautiful samples.  Here are our winners for the following challenges, congratulations to you all and thanks for playing.

            ScrapBurst 1 – Numbers - Judy Laracy, special mention Helen Triglone
            CardBurst 1 – Baby Boy/Girl - Judy Laracy, special mention Di Corbitt
            ScrapBurst 2 – Heritage/Vintage - Roz Langridge special mention Di Corbitt

            ScrapBurst 3 – Rural with Texture Zan Boyle, special mention Roz Langridge
            ScrapBurst 4 – White, Light Blue & Lines - Helen Triglone,

Congratulations again to everyone, and all winners will be notified for collection of their prizes.  Well done also to all those who received a special mention as the task of selecting winners was not an easy one.

Delight-Ville Products
You’ll need to check these out when you’re in next.  We have some new embellishment packs that are all theme based and jam packed with lots of bits and pieces to add to your layouts or cards.  Most of the work is already done for you with die-cut bits, embossed bits, vintage odds, metal charms & bits, inked bits, fabric and ribbon trims, stamped images and all sorts of other exciting stuff!  These are going to be released each month, and all are theme based.  We will only have a limited number of each available, so make sure you grab one when you see them.  We will have more news about what else is happening with these shortly when the work is all done!

As well as these we have gorgeous little miniature porcelain tea sets, which look divine on cards and layouts, as well as your decorative off the page projects.  Our cheeky vintage ladies will surely give you a giggle when you see them on our handmade cards.  Aimed at the fun-loving, easygoing individual, it’s easy to see someone suitable for each one.  Our dimensional tiles and key rings are handcrafted by a lovely inspirational lady whose talent is exceptional.  She keeps us in a supply of her beautiful carded lace trims and doilies, of which we adore.  Should you prefer something a little more floral and dimensional, then the sprigs and lace posies are the go.

STOCK, ORDERS AND STUFF
I love to source products that represent a handmade element, or something that you can put your hand to and be just as creative.  Our classes are clearly indicative of the time and effort we put into supporting you, our customers, with as much new and inspiring creative direction as we can.  I feel it’s important to keep that balance and support those that want to walk into a scrapbooking shop, therefore supporting and keeping me going.  As a sole business owner in today’s economic circumstances times are clearly changing, and we all need all the face to face support we can get. 
Thank you.

CLEARANCE SALE
Don't forget to have a wander over to the Clearance & Sale section to check out all the Items there, it’s updated regularly and we need the room for more goodies!  There are silver number and alpha metal charms, chipboard, stickers, wooden alpha letters and lunchbox tins all reduced.  We also have a box of random doublesided patterned papers at half price.  Worth a look….
