So much news, so little time...

... so let's get straight into it, shall we?

NEW PAPER RANGES
The new Kaisercraft Christmas ranges arrived today (yes, we are gearing up for Christmas ALREADY!).  "December 25" features the traditional red, green and gold Christmas colours, while "Silly Season" will appeal to those that prefer a more modern approach to Christmas celebrations with its vibrant pinks, lime greens and silver accents.

These ranges are both gorgeous, and literally started selling before we even had a chance to unpack all the boxes!  Silly Season in particular is proving to be very popular, and has already sold out at The Wholesaler, so be sure to pop in and grab yours soon!  (At the moment we have the complete ranges in stock, including all the embellishments and stamps, but there is no guarantee as to how long this will last!).

As an added bonus, the first 20 ladies to come in and stock up on some Christmas yummie-ness, will receive a complimentary Kaisercraft Workshop magazine, featuring fabulous ideas of what all you can do with their Christmas 2011 ranges!


NEW SCRAPBOOKING KITS
We have three new, stunning, kits from Elizna in store:

BEAUTIFUL:
A pink girly page - to scrap baby, daughter, mother or grandmother...it will work for all of them! 

This kit is made up with all matching embossed papers and the most beautiful little felt flowers in the New Arrival range from Pebbles.

PLAY TOGETHER STAY TOGETHER:
A very versatile layout in blues and browns...this kit has a family theme.
This layout will also work very well to scrap the boys in your life...you only have to change the title...

DISCOVER - PLAY - FUN:
A beautiful little boy page...with the lovely Little Toot collection from Kaisercraft.

Elizna's kits are always popular and sell out quickly, so be sure to come in and get yours asap!

SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT... 
i-SCRAP will from now on be stocking Sand Art, so come and spoil your kiddies while you spoil yourself!  These creative kits make excellent Christmas pressies, and will keep the kids busy during the long December holidays (especially on that lazy afternoon after a delicious Christmas lunch!)

AND FINALLY...
Take part in our SCRAP CHALLENGE and stand a chance of winning a fantastic hamper filled to the brim with scrapping goodness (total value over R400)!

How does it work?

1. Create a double page layout based on the layout notes available in-store.  The theme for this layout is "I love to scrap".
2. Make the layout your own by using your own choice of paper, embellishments, techniques, etc.  You can follow the instructions as closely as you want (or not!), as long as we can see that your layout was based on the original notes you got from us.
3. Hand your completed layout in at the store by 16:00 on Friday, 30 September 2011. With your permission, layouts handed in before this time will be displayed for all to admire your work!
4. The winning layout will be judged by the following teachers:  Elizna Parsons, Kim Smith, Raye Tonkinson and Jenny Spicer.
5. Entry fee is R30.00

So get those creative juices flowing and Christmas might just come early for you this year!

That's all for now, but keep watching this space for more exciting news in the days to come...
