March 2014 Newsletter

Hello everyone, welcome to our March Newsletter. We have been very busy at Scrapville building up our classes, and the girls are doing a great job.  Our Newest instructors are being met with lots of praise and excitement, and they have heaps to offer. If you haven't seen our Off The Page samples, call in and see what you can look forward to. Also on the Class List is our new Mixed Media classes.  Read on below to learn more!

SCRAPVILLE ANNOUNCEMENTS
CREATIVE TEAM / INSTRUCTORS
I am pleased to announced that we have new members to the Creative Team, as well as instructors. I hope you will join me in welcoming Jane Huhta and Jennie Seal to the Team. Back on as support is yours truly and Sally Clark. You will be seeing some fantastic work from the girls, and the classes are going to keep you all inspired and excited. There will be more from the girls shortly, so I hope you will follow along and give them your support.

Angie Wenke and Zan Boyle are busy teaching the girls Cards and Scrapbooking, whilst Jane and Jennie will be working on a range of Layouts, Off The Page projects and Mixed Media.  Sally and I will work on Layouts and Card sets, and a bit of who knows what else! Our bonus here is the Monthly Blind CropVille that is back, and Jane is excited to be tweaking your curiosity there!  We have some more Specialty Designers coming on board a bit later, so keep tuned for that.

SKETCH CHALLENGES

I am really hoping that you will find the new sketches interesting and inspiring.  Whilst we've been spoilt by Anita's designs, Janet has put up the designs for this month's Sketches.  Our March Sketch Challenges are due in Pumpkin Time March 31st.

SKETCH WINNER
Congratulations to Di Corbitt for her February Sketch entry, Jewel of the Sea.
The Card Sketch for February required more entries for a prize to be awarded, but I would like to thank those that entered.  Also a big thank you to Jane and Jennie for their Sketches, they were both just beautiful with lots of little details.  Great work girls.
