Product Preview: Crate Paper 2008 Release REPORT! :)

Helloooow folks!

Hope you are having a great weekend. We had a wonderful sold out Product Preview Event last Monday - Product Preview: Crate Paper 2008 Release!

First up we check out the brand new ranges. Crate Paper released four fantastic ranges and a series of rub-ons. This is me showing the die-cut sheet from the Static collection. Surfs up, skaterdudes and other cool teen images.

Beautiful pretty brights from the Katlin collection.

Onto our first project for the night - Page layout using the Blue Hill collection.

Paula, ready to assist where needed.

Seeing the layouts start to take shape. Loooooking good!

We may be busy making pages, but we make sure we have time for a laugh too! Our focus is having an enjoyable evening and with a room full of scrapping ladies there is much fun to be had :)

Giving away lots of prizes - my favourite bit!

This week all the prizes seemed to be hitting one table - so I offered to keep giving till the pattern broke... it did but not until I'd given a couple more away!

Enjoy your Crate Paper goodies girls!

For a bit of fun we gave away Scrapbookers "Pills"

Our second project was a teeny tiny canvas. Actually I think this picture is bigger than the real life example!

Ric-rac edging - the finishing touch.

Gorgeous layouts ladies!

Super sweet baby photo - so cute!

This photo... stunning!

And of course time to shop with a tea or coffee at the end

Thank you all for enjoying Product Preview: Crate Paper 2008 Release! We enjoyed hosting it for you!

byes for now

PS: See you Monday if your coming to Product Preview: Prima "Prima-licous". The way it's shaping up, it's going to be a blast!!

Product Preview Crate Paper 2008 Release - Take Home Project Instructions

Hi all!

Product Preview: Crate Paper 2008 Release shaped up to be a great night! Thank you to all our participants... here are your Take Home Project instructions:

Crate Paper Heart flower book

Pretty on the outside...

...and on the inside!

Fold each piece of square shimmer paper in half along the diagonal

Unfold, turn over and fold in half into a rectangle

Unfold, then fold in half again across the other rectangle (I'm sure there is a proper origami way of saying this... hope you can see what I mean from the pictures!)

Using the folds you have created fold the points inward so that the paper folds flat into a quarter paper sized square. Repeat these steps for all four coloured paper squares.

Take one of your cardstock hearts and lay it on the surface of your folded paper so that the curved heart top is closest to your open points. The straight lines of the heart align with the edges of the folded square. Draw around the curved heart shape.

Cut along only the curved heart top. The straight edges remain uncut and folded. Repeat the tracing and cutting steps for all four squares of paper.

Apply glue to the surface of your folded heart.

Then adhere your next folded heart on top aligning all the edges. Repeat for the remaining two hearts until all four are glued together.

Glue the one blue heart to the front and one to the back of your assembled heart pages, these will create the covers. Decorate the front cover of your heart book with patterned Crate Paper, ribbon, rub-ons, star die cuts and Kindy Glitz. Punch two holes in the top of the heart and tie with fibre. The inside pages can be adorned with the remaining die cut shapes and of course photos and journalling.

We do have some additional heart kits remaining, so if you would like another or didn't make it to our Product Preview event we do have some available for sale.

Have fun!

Product Preview: Crate Paper 2008 Release! Project Pic

Hi happy scrappy dudes and dudettes (yes far too much caffeine for me this afternoon :) !

Here is a piccy pic of the layout we will be making Monday night (16th June at 7pm).


I created the sample with a 6"x8"photo. Don't worry if you don't have one at hand to use since the layout can be easily tweaked for a 5"7" photo or two 4"x 6" photos.

oooh and see all those lovely words? They are gorgeous dark brown Crate Paper rub-ons... you will get the whole pack in your kit so you will have lots to choose from.


If you haven't already booked for this event you will want to be super speedy like and give us a call - when I was in the store this morning we only had like 6 spaces left! Phone 09 912 0665

~have a fantabulous weekend!
