Using Sauve collection by AUTHENTIQUE, this fun and quirky layout is perfect for those Real “BOY” photos or even girly photos with “mustache” pics !  Kit includes small element sheet to add elements to the layout.


LAYOUT 2:  CREATE YOUR OWN SUNSHINE

Using Pebbles Americana range, this layout will remind you of the gloomy 2 weeks of rain we had a while back, when we had to Create our own Sunshine.  Lots of doodle work with your pen and lots of funky journaling stripes to capture your Sunshine moments.  If you didn’t get all our rain, you are sure to have some Gloomy Day or Playing in the Rain Day photos !!


MARCH 2014 KITS

LAYOUT 1:  BEAUTIFUL AND HAPPY
Using the Adornit Viva La Glam range of paper, this soft, feminine layout by Nutty M is perfect to celebrate any 'little woman' that you know.  Clean, with no fussy books or hide-aways, like all women, this layout lets you lay it all on the page. Titled Beautiful & Happy this should inspire you to realise how beautiful you are and how happy you should be.


LAYOUT 2:  BOYS WILL BE BOYS
Using Echo Park THATS MY BOY range of papers, this is the perfect layout for those great photos you have of your boys playing X-Box, Playstation or glued to the Computer screen !  With a 12x12 sticker sheet with lots of extra elements, this layout can be changed to suit your particular families addiction ! 


FEBRUARY KITS 2014

LAYOUT 1:  HOME
Using Little Yellow Bicycle FEELS LIKE HOME range of papers, this layout has an extra flap that you can use for tons more photos.  Soft colors are perfect for all your photos around the house or just of family get togethers, that is after all what makes a home..

LAYOUT 2:  BIG THINGS
Using the pretty Kaiser Craft – VELVET CRUSH range of papers, this layout has been designed to remind us about the little things that become our BIG THINGS.  Clean and simple, this layout is perfect for any pictures, and if you don't like the title too much, well you can easily change that and use something else from the word sheet.  This is a fun, versatile layout that should warm your heart, and remind you of happy times

FREE BONUS LAYOUT:   LAUGH

Because there is SO much paper left over from the Kaiser Craft Velvet Crush range, I decided to throw in an extra single layout as a bonus for you awesome ladies, with the message that LIFE is BETTER when you're LAUGHING.  No matter what happens, we should keep a smile on our faces and this quick layout will capture the beauty of those smiles and laughs you have captured on the faces of those around you. Celebrate joy and happiness by laughing your way through this easy layout.

JANUARY 2014 KIT & NEWSLETTER

JANUARY 2014
●●●● NEWSLETTER ●●●●
                                                                                                 
Hi everyone !

Welcome to another year of amazing scrapbooking fun !  We hope that everyone is back safe and sound and that you all had an amazing break.  I know that a lot of you had tons of unfinished kits in your stash, I hope you had time to get some of them done (with photos ! .. LOL)

We apologise for the lateness of our Newsletter but it seems South Africa went into slow mode this year already and lots of our suppliers only opened shop today, hence our delay in getting kits out!   

Just a few things re the kits for 2014 for your info:

CONFIRMATION OF KITS FOR 2014:
Please note that with it being a new year, we need to get re-confirmations of your intentions to purchase kits.  As we cannot “assume” that you want the kits, please can we ask if you would drop an e-mail to Mitch at info@thevillagescrapper.co.za, and indicate if you want to book for 3,6,12 months.  Remember that if you pre-book you are guaranteed of getting your kits and not missing out on some amazing layouts.  If your details have changed, please let Mitch know as well.
REMEMBER:  you are not obligated to take the kits, but this is a good indicator for us of the quantities needed.
BIG NOTE:  Please remember when doing EFT’s that you indicate your NAME and MONTH KIT as your reference, it gets very confusing on our side otherwise.  Thanks.

PAYMENTS OF KITS:
Also, on doing a recon, we have noted that the banks are charging us lots for Cash Deposits into our account.  Can we please request that all payments be done via EFT if possible ? 
We can email you the 2014 Order Form,  with includes the fees applicable to the Cash Deposits and amounts being charged to us via the Banks.  If you cannot do an EFT, we ask that you please add the additional fees to your deposit as per attached.  We do apologise for this, but these costs have been escalating and we cannot carry them any longer.  We do hope you understand.

FREE KIT !
DEDICATED M&M’ers  - Book your kits for the full year and make full payment by end February and you will only pay for 11 kits, the 12th kit will be free

DIARISE:
(7-10 AUGUST 2014)
We are already planning our Retreat for 2014.

Remember that our Womans Day weekend Retreat @ Olifants River Lodge will be held over the weekend of 7-10 August 2013
We hope to see you all there!  
Details to be confirmed, but as it is a long way away, you can already start making part-payments to Nutty M to pay it off long before the time. 
A deposit of R 500 confirms your seat but the exact total amount to be confirmed ASAP (last year was R 2900 so won’t be too much more).
Contact Mitch at info@thevillagescrapper.co.za to arrange this.

Hugs,
Sweet M and Nutty M
