Scrapbooking Stamping 'N Stuff - Home Delivered

Silent Auction

Sydney Sewing Supplies have generously donated a tote (rrp $125) for our crop on the October Longweekend, that's this weekend.

We plan to have a Silent Auction with the money raised going to Ronald McDonald house and the winner receiving this great tote. 

What this means is: you write an amount that you are prepared to pay for the tote onto a piece of paper (along with your name) and place the bid into a box. The winner is the person who places the highest bid and no one will know what bids have been made until the winner is announced.

If you are coming to the crop, you could be the proud new owner of this very generous donation. If you would like to participate in the crop give us a call on 02 63 617300 or email ssns_orange@bigpond.com

I can't wait to see everyone on the weekend. For those of you who aren't able to come along I hope you also have a great long weekend.

Enjoy the beautiful weather.

It's Not Too Late...

for some long weekend fun!  Come and join us for a weekend of scrapbooking, cardmaking, whatever and you'll be donating to a worthy charity in the meantime.

There are still a couple of spots left for this weekend's Ronald McDonald House Orange Fundraiser Crop.  What you buy is a seat for the weekend and you can come and go as you please so if you check out the itinerary from our earlier post you can plan to be here for what you want. 

We have Whitey's Pies doing the majority of the catering, there will be make 'n takes throughout the weekend and you'll get a goodie bag on arrival that has all the product for the make 'n takes as well as other goodies such as craft supplies and hair and beauty products, so the $50 donation to attend is jam packed with value.

So, if your at a loose end or your long weekend plans have fallen through then consider coming along you'll be having a great time with other scrappers as well as raising money for Ronald McDonald house.

Tip of the week - Where do you get your inspiration?

Everyone gets their inspiration from somewhere, whether it be scrapbooking or card making magazines, a particular product, technique books, websites or friends.  I know I am constantly being amazed and inspired by the other girls here at the shop and by you, our customers.  Not a day goes by working here that I don't get and idea for a current or future project.

Mandy rang me this morning and told me about a Big W catalogue she was looking at and how the colours were similar to a particular range of patterned paper we have in the shop at the moment.  We got to talking and that is what inspired this post.

Inspiration is all around us in various forms, it's up to us where we get it from.  Advertisments such as catalogues and magazine spreads are basically colour and design techniques we can use that have already been put together by professionals.  Who are we to argue with the experts!

Next time you look at the colours in your garden think about how nature provides us with colour schemes that are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.  This is the best time of year, everyone's garden is starting to spring into action after being dormant for a few months.  And that "spirng" could soon be in one of your scrapbook projects.

Have you ever picked up a fashion magazine and looked at the latest colours only to realise that's what's hot in scrapbooking at the moment.  This is beacuse scrapbooking is dictated by fashion.  The look you are seeing on the runway now is the same look that'll be in your scrapbooking product very soon.

So where do you get your inspiration from?  Drop us a comment and let us know and in the mean time Happy Scrappin'.
