Look What's Coming!!!

I thought I might tease you with a glimpse of this fabulous creation by our designer, Lisa Kamphuis. Lisa has been busy playing with an August kit. Only a few more days until they are released...

And what's a kit without some bling? Oh, so pretty...

Limited Edition Kits...

I have 8 new limited edition kits up in the store. And by limited I mean between 1-3 available only. These kits will not be repeated again. Once they are out of stock, they are gone. So in this case, if you want something in particular, it's first in first served. Here's four of the new kits:

TIMELESS
IN BLOOM
ROCK STAR
PRETTY IN PINK

And here's the link to the store: https://scrapbookkits.com.au/index.php?route=common/home

Meet The New Design Team...

Wow, this was so hard! I had well over 40 applications and had to narrow it down to 16 positions (but that didn't work, and I've taken on four extra team members). The quality of work sent in from scrappers all around the world was totally amazing. And that's what made it so hard to narrow down the list. If I haven't chosen you this time, do not be disheartened, and please submit for our next call. (-: I've made an executive decision to limit all design team members to two consecutive terms of 6 months. After that, they are required to take a break for 6 months before they can reapply. This way, there is always new talent and fresh scrapping styles available for the customers. And it allows everyone to get a turn on our team. Sound fair? I hope so.

But without further ado, and in no particular order, please meet my new team for the next 6 months:

CAZ HANCOCK - NZ
HELEN TILBURY - STH AFRICA
RAISSA COSTA CARVALHO- BRAZIL
PETRA OFFRELL - SWEDEN
JUANNA SIA - SINGAPORE
YVONNE SHEPHERD - AUS
HOLLY CONNORS - AUS
LISA KAMPHIUS - AUS
LEAH SCHAEFFER - USA
KIM KENDALL - AUS
ERIN REED - USA
PAM PRITZL - USA
AMY BENDER - USA
KRISTIE TAYLOR - USA
KIRSTEN CASEY - AUS
REBEKKAH MITCHELL - AUS
MICHELLE WALLACE - AUS
NICK KNOPKE - AUS
VALERIE BISHOP -USA
ANNETTE GEARSIDE - AUS - CARD KIT DESIGNER
JODI DOLBEL - LIMITED EDITION KIT DESIGNER

Sneak Peek No.1

Come August, if all goes as planned, I will have 10 different kits up for grabs. Those kits designed by my International Design Team members may be a little late in being added to the store due to tight time constraints. But they will be added - better late than never, I say!!! So here is your first peek...

What do you think? Yummy?

I'll be back in a couple of days with a sneak peek of two more kits.
And next week I hope to add a few limited edition kits to the shop. These kits won't have instructions, but they will be packed full of co-ordinated goodies to make your scrapping easier. So make sure you pop back next week to check them out.

And don't forget, tomorrow our new sketch goes up!!!

See you tomorrow...(-:

Who Wants A Sneak?

Now lets see. We have a new store owner, a couple of new paper ranges that have just come in, and lots of kits ready to send out to the Design Team. Who is dying of curiousity to find out what sort of kits I design? Who wants to know what colours? Come on ladies, how badly do you want this? I can't hear you!!!!!! Make it loud and a sneak will go up. Make it even louder, and it might be 2 or 3 sneaks...(-:

Getting In Early...

Wow, we have our first two entries for the July 1st sketch challenge already. You ladies were quick off the mark, lol!!!

Our first layout is from Amanda. Such beautiful bright colours, and a lovely clean design.

Our second layout is from Kirsten. So gorgeous and sweet.

So who's next? You have until the end of the month to send me your layout at scrapbookkitswithjules@gmail.com.

1st July Sketch...

Helloooooooo, everyone!!!! I'm still here (buried under boxes, lol!). I've got the July 1st sketch here for you, designed by our very own Valerie Bishop. Isn't it a great sketch? I think I might have to find time to play with this one myself. (-: I will follow in the tradition of Ness and offer prize packs each month, but until I finish unpacking, I can't tell you what that prize will be. But I will update this post once I have that issue sorted.

And I am not yet completely organised, so we will have to make a couple of changes in regards to Mr Linky. Instead of attaching your entry to Mr Linky, please email it to me at scrapbookkitswithjules@gmail.com. If for any reason the email does not work, then please link your layout directly in the comments section of this post.

Here's some inspiration from our Design Team: Valerie Bishop.

My Secret Is Out...

Hi Everyone. I thought I would pop in and introduce myself now that my secret is out, lol! Now, you will have to bear with me, because while I have run a business before, I have not run a scrapbooking store. So undoubtedly, my life might be a little crazy for the first few months, lol! But Vanessa has promised to stick around and show me the ropes (phew!!!).
Which leads me to my next announcement...
I need a new Design Team!!!! Design Team commitments will include working with a monthly kit, and posting on the Scrapbook Kits blog on a rostered basis. The term will be for 6 months (September 2011- February 2012), with the option to extend at the end of the 6 months. Are you interested? Would you like to join my team? To apply, send me a short paragraph about yourself, and 3-5 images of your best layouts, cards or off the page projects. And if you have a blog, please include the link. But don't stress if you don't - a blog is not essential. Please keep each image to 200kb or less.
Send email to julianna@powerup.com.au. This call is open until the 10th July 2011. I will then try to announce the new Design Team within a week. So, now I have turned my life upside down, are you ready to join me? LOL!
PLEASE NOTE: This call has been extended until the 20th July.
