Executive Decision...

I've made an executive decision about the Scrapbook Kits store, and since I am the boss, no-one can tell me I can't. I do not enjoy running the scrapping suplies store side of this business, so I am going to close it down as at the 1st September. From then on, the store will only sell class kist and limited edition kits. Which means, if you want to get any last minute goodies (still 40% off), you have 3 days left. So I'm guessing you all want to know what I'm going to do with all that stock I have left over? I've got a plan. In addition to Scrapbook Kits (kits only) I'm going to open an Etsy Store and sell mixed media canvases, pre-made layouts to which you add your own photographs, and possibly some Off The Page projects too. I don't have a choice - the thought of doing stock-take every year, and uploading thousands of images of products for purchase, just does my head it. It's no fun for me, and it's interfering with my scrapping. So it has to go. And if a kit hasn't sold within 3-4 months, it will be recycled and re-used for a new project. No kits will be wasted!!! (-: As a result of this, my next Design Team will consist of 12 members. Let's just say we are using this first DT term as an fun experiment. I need to find out what works, and what doesn't work. (-:
And not only that, with the 1st September, we are going to introduce new inspiration challenges, new sketches, and new Design Team tutorials and blog posts. Are you counting down the days? I am - only 4 days to go!!! :-)

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi everyone

Today is very exciting day for us at Scrap with V.

We have a new Design Team member joining us from the USA

Please meet and welcome Leah Schaeffer

Leah has written a little bio about herself

My name is Leah Schaeffer and I am Mom to 3 little ones, ages 6, 5 and 20 months. As you can tell my days are busy but wonderful and I feel so very blessed to stay home and raise them! I've been married 8 years to a police officer, he has taught me so much about how important his job is and how valuable it is. We enjoy being outdoors, camping and riding bikes!

Christmas of 2007 I received a Cricut die cut machine and there began my adventure! Paper-crafting has changed my life, I've met the most loving and creative group of women and I have found something to do daily that keeps me feeling fulfilled! I enjoy trying different styles and playing with techniques, keeping each project new and fresh. I try really hard to make the most of my craft supplies and to see what I can do with all of them. Because being creative is the whole point of this wonderful hobby!

I am extremely excited to be joining this wonderful international Design Team and to seeing what I can do to inspire you all!

I look forward to growing new friendships here as well!

Thank you so much Ness for having me to join you all!
