Merry Christmas from the team at NZ Scrapbook!

It's around this time that we start seeing reviews of the year.  The media highlights the ups and and downs and 2011 sure has had its share of those.  Life at NZ Scrapbook is no exception.  In the past year we have had close to 200 craft classes, exciting product launches, events both in the store and out.  Along with that there have been challenges around our premises and a difficult retail climate. This week we wish my brother (past staff member David) well as he enters marriage, we have family members coming from overseas, have watched as family members welcome new babies into the world and have said our goodbyes to the passing of friends.  As they say, such is life. 

Whether you know it or not you are also part of our NZ Scrapbook life.  Your continued support means we can offer the very best paper crafting products in a dedicated space where you are always welcome.

We wish you a most wonderful Christmas, stay safe, hug your family and enjoy an extra helping.  You deserve it!

With much appreciation and kindness,
Kathleen, Linda, Tracy, Paula, Kathy, Fenn, Michelle, Chantelle, Crystal, Leanne,  and Shanez

From Harry Potter to Dr Suess, Wizard of Oz to Thomas the Tank Engine - it's up to you how you represent the theme in your Artist Trading Cards.  The main criteria is the size.  2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and don't forget to include your series title and personal details on the reverse.
