Real Men Wear Pink online class by Rachael Scholz

Hello ladies
Our next designer is no other than a Scrapbooking Memories master and fabulous Scraptacular design team member Rachael Scholz!
Rachael's online class focuses on how to use pink, flowers and bling for boys!! Although she will be teaching only one layout in the class, she will also show you how to turn this into a double page layout. And don't worry if you don't have a boy....it's a pink!

First layout

Product sales have gone wild already, with over 60 embellishment packs sold! That's over $120 raised just yesterday afternoon for the Royal Children's Hospital. But it also means if you don't want to miss out, you'd better get your order in fast!

Our first designer showcasing our embellishments is the mega-talented Lusi Austin. Lusi has used the chipboard people and the acrylic rocket in a beautiful page about her father and her daughter "She is Besotted". I love the way Lusi has drawn stitching around the people!

Crop for Kids EXCLUSIVE embellishments!

Yes, it's finally time for the grand unveiling of our exclusively designed Crop for Kids embellishments. That's right ladies, you can't get these gorgeous pieces anywhere except through us! We'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Scrapware, Crafty Matters & Julie's Craft Stop who so generously agreed to donate a limited number of these products so that 100% of the sales price can be given to the Good Friday Appeal.

Aren't they fantastic! And at only $2 a pack, extremely affordable.

Descriptions:
Chipboard people - made by Scrapware and designed by our competition winner, Samantha Plowright these people are made from strong chipboard and stand approximately 2" tall. They come in a pack of one boy and one girl and link together in any combination, so why not buy a few sets and make a whole family! It takes 8 people (4 packs) to completely span a 12" page.

Ceramic pack - made by Crafty Matters this star and circle pack is made from strong, glazed ceramic. Each is approximately 1" tall making it the perfect size for any scrapbooking project.

Acrylic rocket - It can be hard to find great boyish embellishments, and this funky acrylic rocket is one of the coolest we've seen. Made by Julie's Craft Stop, it is approximately 3.5" tall.


If you keep an eye on this blog in the coming weeks you'll see pages by our guest designers using these fantastic pieces. We'd also love to see anything that YOU create! So send us photos and we'll add them to our sidebar as inspiration for everyone.

Congratulations Samantha, you have won a hamper of Scrapware products valued at $50, courtesy of Scrapware, and a $50 gift voucher thanks to The Scrapbook Establishment.

Thank you to everyone who submitted designs. You made our job very difficult!
