January 2014 Newsletter

Hello everyone, and welcome to 2014!  May this year bring all that you hope for, health and happiness.  With 2013 now behind us may we all look forward to a wealth of good times ahead, with something positive to focus on and aim for.

Scrapville looks forward to offering so many new bits and pieces this year, from our New Classes, Instructors, Creative Teams and an Uber Exciting Retreat!

Personally speaking, the Old Fart has happily settled into his new abode, and the family is much more comfortable with the set up.  His new pad is adorned with photos of the Little Fart, and some of the family!  The Little Fart, recently acquired from the Old Fart, is finding her niche by adamantly protecting Me and the house from the Blokey Man that lives there!!  Attempts to round up the cat have been met with a stern "I don't think so..." stand off, and one can only hope the Little Fart keeps to a speedy gait ahead of the Big Fella whilst he lifts his towering leg at every available opportunity.  As I said, lots happening!

So now the online shop....., it's still coming!  It is such a competitive area, and not to venture out into this direction would be a huge disadvantage to Scrapville's future growth.  So, please bear with us, it's all positive even though we have had set backs...

There is going to be lots going on this year, and I look forward to all that is New and Exciting.  I will be updating each little tidbit as we go along, so please ensure you are signed up for our Newsletters.  Be part of the excitement, and keep inspired.

NEW SCRAPBURST CHALLENGES
Run out of time to do the ScrapBursts?  Over all the Festive Fuss?  Well, this is what we've got - another ScrapBurst challenge.  I know everyone finds the Silly Season a little daunting, and with all the added running around we don't quite get around to tackling all those scrappy things we'd much rather be doing.  Hence, a very poor result for our famous ScrapBursts.  Well, clear the Table, it's time to greet 2014 creatively with a bit of scrapping and cardmaking because we're going to have another crack at it!  I have changed up the challenges for you, all you have to do is follow the criteria for each of the ScrapBursts or Card Bursts and complete your projects.

Come on everyone, put your Mojo into Go, I know you're all itching to get into it!  The ScrapBursts are one of the Challenges I love most here at Scrapville, and seeing what everyone comes up with is exciting and leaves me in anticipation of each entry.  Let's get on-board and grab some prizes as well.  As long as your Layouts and Cards meet the following categories, they will be accepted into each challenge:
