Another Clue to Chew over!!

Hi ladies

Only 3 more sleeps, oh boy I can't wait.

Yes I am busily trying to organise myself and not getting anywhere!! We have received our stock for your beautiful gift packs for retreat and have stayed back tonight to put it all together. Yes chocolates will do nicely thanks, I like Cherry Liquors, Maureen loves Turkish Delights and Lysandra likes any chocolate!! Remember bribes are allowed at retreat!!!

We have decided that from now till Friday 1pm we will have 10% discount for all Flaunter's attending retreat. So even more reason to come in and snap up a bargain as well as organise yourself for camp.

Well another clue for you to chew over!!

"The "chip" you need is not to be eaten" .....mmmmm got you thinking have we??

Well back to putting the yummy packs together.

Take care and happy organising.

Some Hints for Camp Challenges

With just 3 sleeps to camp Jodie and I are working late at the shop preparing your little goodie bags and prizes for the weekend.

Below is a list of the things you will need to participate in the challenges. They are not compulsory, but there will be prizes!!

We will be posting more hints between now and Friday so keep checking the blog as well as your emails!

  • You will need a 5x7 photo!! Any photo, any colour, any subject.
  • Bring your needle and thread!
  • You will need stuff that makes your items "shiny"

Don't forget about the "Completed Pages at Retreat" activity we will be running. There will be spot prizes for pages completed at camp.

And most importantly don't forget the NAME TAG competition. It can be as fancy or as simple as you like, it really is just about letting everyone know who you are.

That's all folks...

We are also excited to announce that we have stock of Nestibilities. You can see how to use them at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dr1grf-gGs. Keep an eye out for details of an interesting in store demo of this fabulous product.

We have also received Basic Grey’s “Eskimo Kisses” and “Indian Summer”. We have the full paper ranges and the matching embellishments.

We have increased our flower range with some beautiful new flowers from Petaloo. There are stunning “Wild Roses” and really cute glittery flowers.

We have a photo!

Marlee Maree Roberts

Rose has had her BABY at last!

We are so excited here at the shop. We have been waiting for the phone to ring with the news of baby's safe delivery...

Marlee Maree Roberts was born at 10.47am this morning. She weighs a lovely 7 lbs and was sleeping in her mothers arms. Mother and child are doing well, if a little tired... daddy was a little faint!!

We will post photos as soon as they are available.

Another Belton has Arrived!

It is with great pride that the "Aunties" from SIFI announce the fast and safe arrival of Jaykob Belton at 7.15pm this evening, Monday 27th July 2009. After keeping us waiting for sooooo long, Jodi arrived at the hospital and 5 minutes later Jaykob made his debut, weighing in at 7lb1oz. We will post a photo as soon as possible, but in our unbiased opinion he's a cutie!

Looks like we will have to get in a new baby range in honour of his arrival. There are sure to be lots of layouts of him in the shop. If you would like to email your well wishes to Jodi via us, we will pass them on to her. Our email is scrapitflaunt@bigpond.com.au.

It has been a very busy week here at the shop; Jodie, Lysandra and Maureen have been making plans for the future, including planning our next retreat.

So we are busy sorting out a new date, so stay tuned. Maureen, Little Jodi and Tara attended a trade night for Collections and naughty Maureen has ordered lots of new product from them. The make and takes from the night are on display in the shop to inspire you. Look out for some great classes coming up.

Step 4 – An Adventure with Embellishments. Duration - 2 hours
The single page layout you create will include how to use rub ons, stamping, ribbons and transparencies!

We would appreciate if class participants could arrive 15 to 30 minutes early to ensure that classes can start on time, as there are some classes that require you to choose your materials. All class durations are an estimate only.

Junior Scrap N Yaps –Tuesdays, 3.30pm – 5.00pm. (Weekly during the school term)

Unfortunately we are unable to have children under the age of 8 unless an adult accompanies them. All the kids need to bring is a basic tool kit** and any project that they want to work on.
Cost $5.00. Bookings are essential.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Only a Mother can share Love with all of her children, yet give each child undivided Love.

Long time no Post!

Hi everyone,

I know it has been a while since we last posted! (Jodi, we saw your comment!) Lets just say that lots has been happening here at the shop, most importantly being that we celebrated our first birthday! That's right, we survived the perilous first 12 months and are still standing and smiling.

Last weekend we had a 20% off store wide sale and then on Sunday we officially celebrated this momentous occasion with demonstrations of the Cougar, Bigshot, Cricut and Slice machines. We also had a lovely birthday cake from the Cheesecake Shop and lots of happy tears and laughter with our lovely customers.

We will posting some photos from the day soon.

We have a lot of great classes coming up and they are popular so please check them out and get your name down asap.

That's all for now, have to get ready for tonight's Scrap N Yap!

Take Care
Maureen

Well finally I have done it!! I have completed the first challenge that was put out to you all. Have you done your "Goals for 09" page yet. If so email us a copy to scrapitflauntit@bigpond.com.au and we will add it to the blog.




My Goals for '09 are: Lose 15 kg's, Complete one page a week, Be more patient with my kids, Go to SA for a holiday, Pay off my credit cards, Fix up my house, Have more family time, Keep a more organised house and lastly, Look after myself better. 9 goals for '09.

I had lots of ideas for this page and finally at 1.00am in the morning it all became reality. (OK so I finished at 3.30am but hubby doesn't need to know that!!)

I am happy with my layout and challenged myself even more by having no photo and using the new "Bazzill Stitch Guide Rulers". I love this stitching guide. There are so many options and you can use a bit of the design or the whole design. A definate for your scrap tools. Leave some comments and let me know what you think.

I am now working to the next challenge of completing a page a week this year. I am only four pages behind so I better get myself organised and get going. Who is going to do this challenge with me?

Tonight we are holding a Scrap N Yap crop night and the ladies are all happily scrapping away.



We have a wonderful group of ladies who attend.

Crop nights are held on Saturday night and are a great time to get together and have time to scrap without any interruptions. Just $10 for six hours of crop time (scrapbooking time) with supper, tea and coffee included, plus a door prize, what else could you ask for. We have spaces for 15 people, which allows you a full table to yourself!! You need to reserve your spot on 9498 0097.

Better go and get the supper ready for the ladies, have a lovely Australia Day Weekend and see you in the shop soon.

Happy Scrapping

Are You Up to the Challenge???

Hi Ladies


Well I am back again and thought I would give you a quick peek at our Flaunters Pack for January (On the shelves Jan 20th!!)

I am using this pack to do my challenge. So don't forget you can join me and complete the first of the challenges for 2009. A page of "My Goals for 2009!"


I would love to get some feedback from you all on having a weekly or fortnightly challenge idea. This is a great way to get pages completed and we can all encourage each other.


The Flaunters packs are available on the 20th of each month and are a co-ordinated pack to help you. They are only $5.00 each.


The competition is to use a bit of everything from the pack (either altered or as is) to create a layout, card or OTP (Off The Page item). You can add what you feel needs to be added or alter what is given to you.


Submit your item to the shop by the 20th of the following month with a gold coin donation (which is raising funds for our favourite two charities!) The pages will be displayed for all to see and any person who spends $25 in the shop has the right to vote for their favourite piece of work. Voting is from the 21st till the 31st of the month with the winner being announced on the 1st of the following month.


What do you win??? A store voucher of course!!


So come in and grab a pack on the 20th and that is one page a month you will have done.


I am aiming to do 1 page a week for 2009!!! I havn't done any yet but I am up and running and will catch up this week hopefully!!!


Don't forget we have a Scrap N Yap crop night this Saturday the 17th of January!!


6 hours of bliss to sit and relax and complete your pages. You have a whole work bench to yourself, along with the workshop tools to use (Cricut machine, Sizzix, Bind It All, Cuttlebug Dies and Embossing Plates, Sewing Machine, Laptop Computer and A3 Colour Printer).


You also have included a light supper and a door prize. The best bit is no interruptions from family and a fantastic group of ladies to scrap with and bounce idea's off.


All this for just $10.00. But if you are a "Flaunter Member" then check your card as you may have a free crop ready and waiting for you!!


This would also be a great time to do a 6 x 6 page for "Southern Cross Kids Camps". This is a camp held for Children who are having problems in their life and gives them some "real" kid time.


We are aiming to have 1000 6x6 pages to give to the camp, and at present we have completed just over 600. We have supplies in the shop, so if you would like to contribute to this cause you can come in and sit done, complete a page to add to our collection. (All pages have to be decorated and ready for a photo to be added.)


Well back to work for me!! Don't forget to send us some comments as we would love to hear from you.


Happy Scrapping people!!!

Well the new year is here and 2009 is upon us!! I have set my goals for the year and have already accomplished the first one - writing on the shop blog!!!! Hopefully the rest of the goals will come easy. This is a great thing to scrap and I challenge you all to do a "Goals for 09" page. I will attempt to do mine and post for you in the near future(she says!)

The team from the shop are rearing to go and looking forward to a busy and fantastic year.

We have changed a few things in the shop. The first being crop nights. We will now do fortnightly crops as of February. Every second month we will still hold our Extreme Crop as well as our two regular crops. Our first Extreme will be February the 28th. All crops will be on a Saturday and we look forward to catching up with you all. The crop nights are fantastic!! Six luxurious hours (12 for an Extreme) of scrapbooking!! A group of ladies getting together to create masterpieces in scrapbooking. The shop is open for you and best of all - no kids, no husbands , no interruptions!!!! What more can you ask for?? Phone and book your seat as they do fill quickly.

We also have some great new classes happening and are a must to see. Kylie's Amazing Canvas, Leonie's Fob Watch Album, Jodi B's Cluster and Stitching class just to name a few. Come into the shop and see the display of what will be happening!!!

We have also just started planning for our 2009 camp and have pencilled in The Queen's Birthday Weekend in September! So not three days of scrapping and pampering, but 4 days of scrapping and pampering!! I told you this year is going to be the best!!! We are taking names of interest down but still have to confirm all the details. Last years camp was full and so much fun, so get in quick and don't miss out.

Also put the weekend of the 14th, 15th and 16th of February in your diary!! Our very first birthday!!! And what a year it has been. Full of friendships, suprises and so much more. On the Sunday we are planning to have our birthday cake and demonstrations, as well as door prizes. We hope to see you then to help us celebrate, if not before.

We are very sad to say that Susan Hansord has stepped down from teaching and our design team due to family commitments and work. Susan will still be visiting us in the shop lots and we just want to say a huge thankyou to her. Susan your work is truly amazing!!! This is one very talented lady and we wish her all the best!!! We are also very, very jealous as she is going to America and also to some fantastic classes while she is over there. So Susan you better visit us after your trip with all your work and the goodies you picked up.

Just a reminder that this months Flaunter Pack will be available from the 20th of January!! Another great chance to win a store voucher. We will try and bring you some snippets of the winner from last month. The packs are only $5.00, with a gold coin donation to enter. Just remember you have to use a little bit of everything that you receive in the pack, but the pack items can be altered!!!

Well it is time to go so will blog a bit more tomorrow.
