Great Scrap Box NZ Christmas Challenge ...

Have you ever thought of entering a challenge but wasn't sure, well here's a great one to be part of.


This is how it will work:

All challenges will be set on the blog (hhtp://www.scrapboxnz.blogspot.com) each Monday.

Terms and Conditions

The challenge will run for a period of four weeks from the 9th November to 6th December 2009.

You will have one week to complete each challenge and email your entry to fiona@scrapboxnz.com by midnight the following Sunday.

The winner from each week will receive a small RAK (random act of kindness) for their efforts and points will be awarded, which will accumulate each week.

Points are awarded as follows.
4 points for first, 3 points for second, 2 points for third and 1 point for participation.

Participants will only know the current standing of the first three places at the close of each week's challenge.

The participant with the most accumulated points at the end of the competition win a $50.00 (fifty dollar) gift voucher to spend at the Scrap Box NZ Store.

The judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Top Tip Thursday...

...I know I missed last week, it is these 4 day weeks that throw me all out. It was Friday when I remembered, so I had the right number of days after a weekend. But no more excuses.

Top Tip: To give your layout a little more uniqueness, turn your photos on a slight angle, round the edges of your photos with a corner rounder punch, or cut your photo to different shapes e.g. stars, circles etc. But do remember the tip I gave in a previous post. Your photo is the most important aspect of your work.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

What's New

Finally seem to have all the bugs sorted out after the updates to the shop were done. Now it's time to get some new stock loaded. Gorgerous papers from Pink Paislee, Making Memories (lots of glitter and flocking) and Little Yellow Bicycle. There are new cardstock colours that have been added - crimson, rhubarb, sugar cookie all to match the new papers. Kaisercraft has some great Off the Page albums - would make wonderful christmas presents. Keep popping into "What's New" in the shop. Flick through all the pages so you don't miss anything new. Hope your weekend is going well.

Top Tip Thursday...

...nice and easy this week!!

TOP TIP: When you have created a layout, use the scraps that are left over to make a quick easy greeting card. This often works best when you are already in that colour combination mindset.
