OUR GUEST DESIGNERS THIS MONTH...

 ANN-CHRISTIN (LULA) - NORWAY

My name is Ann-Christin, but most of my scrapping friends just call me Lula:) Norway is my home, born, raised, found love, got married, had two kids and are HAPPY! 
When I first started scrapping back in 2007, I almost just did kraft. And then I found this cool blog and you have so many different challenges! 

I love how the kraft brings out the colors and the pictures at the same time. 

When I got the December challenge, the title just pop up in my head. 
It was the song "All I want for christmas is YOU!" Me and my husband has been married for 11 years, and I think its important to maintain the magic and the romance in a relationship!

Lula's Blog: http://lula-pieceofmyheart.blogspot.no/



MAJA STOKK - SWEDEN...

I´m Maja from Sweden. Mum to 5 wonderfrul kids, wife, teacher, "horsegirl" and addicted to scrapbooking. I found this wonderful world of papers in 2008 when I was home with my youngest son.

I have always been creative in some way  but with scrapbooking I can combine several of my interests. I love to sew, take photos, play with colours, patterns and flowers. 

I don´t have any significant style. I go with the flow, where the creativity leads me! I love to make all from CS pages to layerd pages with lots of everything ;)

November Challenge @ KIU

This month we have a fantastic challenge with some amazing layouts from the Creative Team, 3 amazing sponsors, read below for all the details!!

We still have a handful of spots left for our 2013 KIU Sponsorship roster, if you are or know someone who may be interested in sponsoring please email me at: kraft.it.up@hotmail.com



 OUR SPONSORS...

SCRAP THERAPY...
We have closed our other business to focus wholly on Scraptherapy, opening a Paper Craft Bricks and Mortar store in Babinda, FNQ to run in conjunction with the online site. During the last 2+ years we have learnt a whole load of stuff about e-commerce, scrapbooking, cardmaking and the people who love these hobbies.
At www.scraptherapy.com.au you will find a fantastic gallery filled with inspiring ideas, a great community of ladies and an odd guy or two in our online forum. Our Design Team backed up by our Big Sisters offer regular competitions and challenges to help you find your mojo, and a chance to win a shopping voucher or two. Then of course there is the shop where we hope you will find all the latest Linkand greatest products at great prices. If you can’t find what you are looking for feel free to contact me at lee-anne@scraptherapy.com.au and check to see if we can get it in for you. We often can.
Our freight charges for orders up to $25 is $9.00, orders between $25 to $100 stay at $6 and orders over $100 are now free. I love scrapbooking and Danny can whip up a pretty good card, but our true passion is excelling in great customer service, which we hope to continue to do for years to come.

Scrap Therapy have donated a $25.00 voucher.



2 CRAFTY...
 2 Crafty strives to offer affordable and versatile laser cut chipboard products to the Australian and International Craft market.

2Crafty’s products are manufactured here in Australia and offer products suitable for scrapbooking, cardmaking, altered art, invitations and mixed media, and with over 700 designs, every area has been covered.

2Crafty’s owner Vanessa, stumbled on the demonstration of the laser cutter at one of the Sydney craft fairs back in 2006 and although her background was Human Resources and payroll her creative mind could see unlimited possibilities and so began her journey into the world of a craft wholesaler.

2Crafty designs are supported both locally and in the overseas market and Vanessa strives to offer the highest level of customer support, and is happy to discuss personalized orders with customers via their local scrapbooking store.

2Crafty also offers a fabulous blog that is updated weekly with projects created from its wonderful Design Team with both local and international designers which includes the very talented Di Garling, Chantal Vandenberg, Elena Olinevich, Fiona Johnstone, Kelly Foster, Keren Tamir, Leonie Neale-Dawson, Linda Eggleton, Marilia Lopes and Vicky Alberto.

The 2Crafty website, although a wholesale website, offers you a birds eye view of all the wonderful designs that it offers. Make sure you check out the stockist list and don’t be afraid to ask your local store to order products that they may not have in stock.

2 Crafty are sponsoring a $20.00 product pack.



SCRAP FRIENDS...
ScrapFriends is very young and fresh scrapbooking store.

We offer our customers exclusive products on the Australian market as well as other well known products from different brands.
