ATC Swap with Robbie

I should really call this Robbie's challenge!! This was sent to me by Robbie who challenged me with sme green metallic ribbon. Robbie is so talented and has used scrapmatts ATC's, Microchip flourishes, flowers and nested pieces. It is now my turn to produce a masterpiece, my background is done, now for the inspiration... Hopefully, within the next week I will have achieved.
There are also new desings on the webiste, long awaited words, that everyone has been asking for!!! So enjoy.

Stitches & Craft Show Rosehill

Well, what a show!!! It was fantastic, lots and lots of fun people, just wanting to see our range of chipboard. It was really exciting, the new range was extremely well received and I am listening to all the lovely ladies who made wonderful suggestions, but they all take time.

In the photo I have Azza demonstrating, with her fan club around her. Azza knows so many people and they just love her. She is a very talented lady, who devotes her time to craft.

I have been working on new designs for our range, can't say too much it will spoil the surprise for the 1st of Septmeber!!! Aren't I cheeky!! You will all just have to check out Scrapmatts.com on Tuesday morning.

Music to enjoy...

Finally, we have managed to do the music sets I have wanted and needed. Both kids are into music and have lots of photos to scrap... no excuse now. I am really pleased with the results, the sets all look great and they are so cute! I can even see these being used on cards and gift tags, books and all sorts of places...There will be lots more music sets to come as well as instruments, which lots of people have been asking for, I have not forgotten you. Please enjoy using them, as much as I have, designing them.

Bags, bags, bags...

Lots of new bags to play with, because I just love shopping so I need plenty of new bags...Just love the new designs and the colours match the shoes!!! I like to colour in the designs with the Gelly Roll pens then use Dimensional magic to gloss, they look almost real. I am sitting here now trying to decide which one I will use first, just love them all. We all know that a girl can never have enough bags!!!
August is almost here, so that means new designs, I get to play some more...

Craft Shows

We have just finished 3 craft shows in a row!! Brisbane Scrapbook & Papercraft Expo, Sydney Craft & Quilt Fair and Melbourne Paperific. I demonstrated for Scrapmatts and wow, met some lovely ladies who just love our designs. The ladies from Dunedin (NZ) had to get their daily fix of Scrapmatts.

The picture is of our stand in Brisbane, what a fantastic show.

In Sydney we had Azza and myself demonstrating, it was fun, Azza and I just love to play with our new designs. We were using Gelly Roll Pens, which are glitter pens that work well with our chipboard designs, they will soon be available on our website. We have some fantastic new designs due for the month of July!!! No hints, you will have to wait to see what is coming up next! Not even Azza knows and sometimes she is more excited than me, her mind goes a million miles an hour and has already designed the card or ATC before she has even seen the sample!!

Our next show will be in Melbourne again in July, all our new designs will be available and I will be busy designing, though I would rather be playing. Have new samples to make, some of them grew legs in Melbourne!!!

Darling Harbour

Scrapmatts just finished the Brisbane Scrapbook Expo, which was fantastic. Met quite a few of our regular customers and we had the best compliments about our range, especially from the New Zealand ladies, who were lovely!! My mind is racing with new ideas and designs, it is great to know that people love your designs.
Last night we set up for the Craft & Quilt Fair in Sydney, it is the biggest show in Australia and to look at it from above is a crafter's heaven. Azza & I will be sharing the demo table, we should have lots of fun together.

Brisbane Scrapbook & Papercraft Expo

Scrapmatts is currently at The Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo in Brisbane. What a day it was today, it was great to meet the ladies that love and order scrapmatts regularly. We had great new products and new ideas, I was run off my feet, but it was fun!! I talked and talked, not that it was hard to do! Our product is so unique, fresh and different! I was demonstrating all day and I did not even finish 1 card, maybe tomorrow!
Hoping to put up some photos of the show and the Scrapmatts stand, soon.
