Scrapmatt's 12 Day's of Christmas

This month challenge which starts today 1st December till 31st December

is all about:

The 12 days of Christmas

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

The challenge is to create anything you like: card, ATC, layout, or even a

project. Base it around one of the days or if you want create the whole 12 days

Just as long as it has Scrapmatts chippie on the creation.

Here is mine:

Crafty Sketches December Sketch

Scrapmatt's November Blog post

This month saw the release of Scrapmatts christmas items and what fun we have all had playing with them pop into the gallery and check out what awesome things have been made with Scrapmatts.

I chose to make a 6 x 6 mini Book which has the story of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" in it and then in the back pages I will put photo's from this years christmas, I have used the amazing Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium range for this project plus Green Tara christmas toppers.

For the tree and baubles I have painted them with Cranberry paint from Making Memories and then covered them with Martha Stewart Gold glitter I reckon they look pretty special.

Scrapbooking Haven's Challenge

This is my take on The Scrapbooking Havens White with One Challenge

Scrapmatts Blog Post

Hi all and welcome to my blog post this month I hope that this post finds you all well and madly scrapping up a storm before the Christmas rush hits us.
This month we have no theme and I have a few LO's and an off the page I would like to share with you all (yes off the page for me LOL).
The story of this is that I have not really got into the printers tray craze that is happening at the moment but after a little convincing from Kylie and our lovely Sofie I agreed to give one ago.
It wasn't what I thought it would be it was large it wasn't a dust collector size (living on a farm I find this a problem) it was a very cute 6 inch one, so the day after it arrived I attacked it and loved doing it so, if like me you aren't keen on these I highly recommend that you give one ago you will be very pleasantly surprised, I for one was.
Here is my tray

Cyber Crop Time at Scrapbooking Haven

The Cyber Crop weekend will continue through from the 4th November at 8.30pm AEDST and will finish at 8.30pm on Sunday the 6th November however you will have until the 10th November at midnight to get all your entries in.

On the weekend Amy and the design team will be running a series of different challenges for you all to play along with. These are designed to help you get your creative juices flowing mainly :) But of course there will be pressies for random winners of each challenge PLUS our design team members will be able to choose their favourite entries for some special gifts as well!

The Scrapbooking Haven is hosting a Girl's Night In that weekend and because most of you, my lovely customers, are in other states I decided this was the best way to get you all involved! The local ladies are of course welcome to join in the numerous crop sessions and classes I will be hosting here throughout the weekend.

ALSO we will have lots of fabulous PINK kits and products available on the website with a percentage of sales going to the Cancer Council! Of course we will throw in some non pink items and kits for all those who can't use the pink and still want to help out this great cause.

Upon registering our Girls Night In we have set up a website so you are all welcome to place donations directon the Cancer Council website if you like.

We would love for you all to invite your friends and spread the word because we would love to continue to do these cyber crops :)
