AUGUST Kits

LAYOUT 1:  HAPPY

Echo Park recently officially announced the launch of its new Sister Company.. called CARTA BELLA.  
The very first Carta Bella collection to be introduced is called Beautiful Moments and was designed by Carina Gardner.
So, in our pledge to bring you the latest papers and products we can find, we herewith bring you this month’s first  layout using this fantastic new range of papers.  
This layout is simply called Happy as it makes us so happy to share it with you !
With a mix of burgundy, creams, pinks and browns and suitable for any photo's capturing the things or people that make you happy, it has lots of room for photo's including pockets to either add some more pictures or hide some journaling.

LAYOUT 2:  NEVER STOP CHASING YOUR DREAMS

Who of us do not LOVE Basic Grey?
I remember a few years back when BASIC GREY was all the rage.. however with all the new wonderful lines popping up they seems to have taken a bit of a back seat in the industry.  
However.. when I saw this new range by BASIC GREY called Whats Up.. I just couldn’t resist buying it and designing a page with it.  
The hot air balloons are fantastic and I hope that you enjoy this layout as much as I did in creating it.  
In my normal style, there is a lot of cutting out to get the finished effect, (sorry girls)  but I am sure you will all agree it is so worth it !  
The title is self explanatory and can be used for a wide range of photos.  The colors also work well for both boy or girl photos.

TO ORDER:
Kits are R290 for both layouts (excl. postage) and can be ordered by emailing Mitch at info@thevillagescrapper.com soonest to book and confirm your kits.

M&M SCRAPAHOLIC RETREAT

Our Weekend Retreat is only a few weeks away and the ladies are so excited and eager to get scrapping. 

Here is a sneak peek of the projects for the weekend:

We have had such a huge demand for the Scrap-a-holic Retreat kits, which were sold out, that we have decided to pack a few more of these kits.  If you are wanting this full set of kits, at the mere cost of R700, excluding delivery, please contact Nutty M asap.  Unless otherwise arranged, full payment is required by 13th July as we will not be ordering the extra product for the kits unless they are paid for.

JULY 2012 KITS

Hope you are all snuggled up and scrapping up a storm.  

We have decided to mix up the pot with a bit of South African paper for a change.. I just love Scrap Collections and have used them on my layout.  RM Designs is also a part of Scrap Collections and they have kindly cut out all our chipboard for my layout (saving you some work with the templates.. I hand cut all mine as I didn’t have the luxury of having Lorna’s diecuts nearby.. LOL). 


Nutty M used the awesome range by Bo Bunny "weekend market" on her layout. This layout has space for so many photos and an extra book too to add extra photos if you have.. Wow..

JUNE 2012 NEWSLETTER

Hi ladies,  we are now in the middle of winter and I am sure you are all cozy and snuggled up with your heaters, old brown sherry and a couple of our Scrapbooking Kits to keep you warm and snug.. LOL

While you are getting cozy, we have been very busy this month and we were so well organised that 99% of the June kits were packed during the 2nd week of May - but low and behold, we had to order black brads from the States (could not find ANY in SA) for one of the kits …and what happens?  The good old SA Post Office decides to mess us around and go on STRIKE!  So we are really sorry, but ONCE AGAIN we have no idea when these darn things are going to arrive so we can finish packing your kits.  We are hoping desperately that the strike ends soon and that we can get your kits out asap.  Please note that we are NOT trying to mess you around and that this is really beyond our control. 

ONCE OFF OFFER:

We had to bring in extra paper to pack the TIME kit created in April 2011, however we still  have enough paper to put together another 19 kits!  If you were not lucky enough to get your hands on one of these fabulous kits, now is the TIME (lol).. 

Please contact Mitch at info@thevillagescrapper.co.za SOONEST to order yours. 

Payment would be required immediately to confirm your kit.

Well here is to a warm, snug and happy Scrapping June!

We hope you enjoy the kits we have created for you this month and the new techniques we are teaching you.

Hugs, Sweet M and Nutty M

  

MAY 2012 KITS

As you know, May is the month we celebrate out wonderful Mothers.  We have decided to incorporate this theme into our May kit this month.  Remember that the title can be amended to suit your photos.. it can also be of your mom, you as a mom, or even of you as a mom of your “furbies”.. they are after all our children too.

Also don’t forget that May is National Scrapbooking Month as well.  Hop over to the various blogs and Scrapbooking sites doing challenges and get some layouts done, whilst hopefully winning a prize or two too.  

The May kits are ready for distribution, so if you haven't booked your kits or made payment, do so and we'll get them off to you.

This layout is titled Unforgettable and is a beautiful blend of red, black and cream.

You can use this layout for any Unforgettable memories you have.

With this layout, you will use the fabulous new Liquid Pearls and learn how to create your own pearls on your layouts.
