Community

Have you heard of Facebook? Do you use it?

At Craft and Scrap, our community section is a lot like that. The way it is set up now is probably a little immature, meaning that this is a first release of this program and an updated and improved version is due any click of the clock. But I wanted to let you know that we have this feature anyway, because it's pretty cool.

You can set your status to show for example "Wendy is putting new products on to the site" or "Wendy is about to fall asleep". You can find other members, share photos, and gerneally interact with others within our craft community.

And I cant wait til the updated version is released! Join us, and tell me what you think!

Wholesale

Did you know that we can supply wholesale?



Most items, particularly the craft products, are available for purchase at wholesale prices.

To apply, simply send a copy of your ABN, Business Registration, and application form, and we'll set up the account for you.

Rock Scissors Paper!

Well, at Craft and Scrap we have our own version you can play online againt other C&S members!



To play, simply login at Craft and Scrap, and click on "Scissors Paper Rock Game" from the menu going across the top of the screen! And of course, in your profile info, you can keep tabs on how many challenges youve won or lost!

Classifieds

Oops! Bad blogger! Bad bad blogger!

There has been so much happening I totally forgot I even had a blog until a couple of weeks ago!

And there has been so much happening with the Craft and Scrap site, that I couldnt possibly write all about it in one session.

So, I'll post a little every day or so, until we're all caught up. :)

Firstly, let me tell you all about our new buy / sell/ trade section. We call it the "Classifieds".

Basically, because we are a community oriented site, why not sell your unwanted goods within our community, or look for items you need? You can even swap items with other Craft and Scrap members!

And best of all, it's FEE FREE! So, theres no fees for placing an ad, and we dont take any of your money for selling or buying your item! You can add a couple of pictures, and include the post costs and description, and upload to a variety of categories.

And as an added bonus, you will earn reward points for using this section!

Look for Classifieds under "Community" in the top menu.

Funny Stuff

“My husband said it was the scrapbooking or him, so I took some pictures of him packing and made the cutest pages ever!”

Here is my May scrapjack from Dee Heath.

Lusi Austin RAK

You all know what a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) is, right?

Well Lusi Austin is very generously giving a RAK or two. Check it out! And look at her stamps! Gorgeous!

April Scrapjack

Here is Nic Howards gorgeous layout at Aussie Scrapjacked for April.


And my take on it...





Things to note:

I made the scalloped heart border by tracing the outline of some pp from Making Memories, and then punched the hearts.

The chipboard swirls were left raw and then covered with a "Black Scroll" acetate.

The flowers were originally maroon, but I roughly painted them pink and added the centres.

Details on products used can be found here.

guest teachers / designers wanted!

would you like to be a guest teacher here at craft and scrap and receive a craft gift pack for your time and efforts?

we are looking for guest teachers to write up a clear and complete tutorial / step-by-step for a craft project that you think others would like to learn. It can be sent to us in any format, but must include pictures of the project, including of the steps along the way. Your "class" does not have to be scrapbooking related; it can be kids craft, folk art, jewellery making etc.

see here for more info!

2 LO's

Have felt quite inspired lately, so scrapped these 2 pages yesterday.

This one called: "J"


close up of journalling:
This one called: (angels) while sleeping.

Like most LO's, this one looks better IRL, as I have used Dimensional Magic on the pp and stars too, and there is some depth with the chipboard.

how to

make this star album instructions are here!

Star Album

Made this grogeous little album for a girlfriends daughter. Very easy and versatile. It's called a star album because when it opens fully, it's a gorgeous star! You could make a Christmas version of this and use it as a decoration for your tree! Add photos, keepsakes or journalling!

Will pop instructions and photos on Craft and Scrap shortly.

Scrap-Jacked

This is my layout for this months Aussie Scrap Jack.

Good to feel inspired again!
