Congratulations girls! Come back for a HUGE Scrapware blog candy later today! You will NOT want to miss it!

here's an idea for you...

From Toni

Perfect for a story/book/reading theme.

LOVE the subtlety of the thought bubble in place of the speech bubble!

Gorgeous Websters Pages from Scrap Therapy, not long now to get 20% off ALL alphas at Scrap Therapy. Great time to stock up on those thickers! They have a HUGE range - and do you realise that at 20% off, that makes the foam ones only $4.20!!! And they are my favorites!

Once Upon a Time...

A sample layout from me for you:

(It reads 'Once upon a time... ROOAARR!! Yeah, the whole Fairy Princess thing just isn't really her scene!'

... very frustrating colour issues in this photograph - The flowers all actually match the paper perfectly - they are not bright red/orange at all! :(

LOTS of yummy Prima on this one - check out the MASSIVE amounts of Prima just arrived at Scrap Therapy OMG!!!! It is FLYING out the door! All the hard to find stuff - stitched papers, crystal swirls, petite fleur vines, SO PRETTY!!

Remember the pieces:

Are you an Early Bird?

New puzzle pieces for July and a Creative Team call

So, it's July already!!! That's just crazy talk!!

I have lots to say today...

First up, new pieces:

TRICKY ONES!

So, 'Once upon a time...' What does this mean to you? Is it a title suggestion? A journalling prompt? A theme? You'd probably get away with a dress-ups photo or journalling about a love of reading. Or maybe you interpret this piece more literally and will have fun with it as a title or a start to some playful journalling?

A few different ideas coming your way in the next few days. Starting with this one from Toni:

Toni has used American Crafts thickers from Scrap Therapy where all alphabets are currently 20% off! Yes, including the massive range of thickers and Carolees Creations tiny alphas! Bargain!

You too can play with goodies from our DT sponsor, Scrap Therapy! Enter our Creative Team call!! We are looking for 4 talented scrappers. All you have to do is create a layout using July's pieces and email it in along with a blog link if you have one. You will be eligible for July's prizes, including the Early Bird rolls the dice prize of a $15 voucher to spend at Roll 2 Create. So send them in quick. We vote as usual on 1 August.

The public vote will NOT decide the Creative Team, though it may influence our decision.

Creative Team members will be expected to produce one sample layout each for the months of September, October, November and December 2009.

You will be given 3 weeks to produce your sample using your own stash for 3 out of the 4 months and a sponsor-provided pack for 1 out of the 4 months.

Each month in the 4 month term, one CT member will be sent a care package from DT sponsor, Scrap Therapy.

Creative Team members will be expected to promote Puzzle Sketches where possible.

Creative Team members will STILL be eligible to win blog candies, but will no longer be eligible to win monthly prizes during their term.

Any questions, or if I've missed something out (highly possible!) just shoot me an email, you'll find a link in the sidebar.

Good Luck everyone!
