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.

CropVille's are a great way to get out for the night and find some time for you
doing a bit of creating. It's a casual night with a friendly mix of girls to
keep you company, and it's often a very productive time, especially when there
just doesn't seem like enough hours in the day!
We can take up to 10 if you have your own group that would like to come together,
you’lI just need to book it separately. We'd love to see you there.
SKETCH
CHALLENGES
The Sketches this month have a bit of a textured focus, of course how you
interpret that is up to you. You must
use a mask on the layout, but with regards to the rest you could use papers,
textures, dry embossing and so much more – just go with it! As with all our Sketch Challenges, they are
open to interpretation, just ensure they are recognizable in respect to the
challenge rules. All entries are due in Pumpkin Time, May 31st.

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….
A FITTING SALE
Well what
else could you call it? Scrapville
cannot possibly put anymore shop fittings into this space, so we are clearing
out our shed. We have a range of display
units, wall racking, slat wall lengths for home or the blokey man in the garage
(like mine!), and much, much, more, all AS IS.
If you are interested in any of this you can call in and check out the
photos of each item available. They are
PICK UP only, some from Wodonga and some from Myrtleford (ask when choosing).
