Another month has flown on by, and here we are almost at the end of Summer. We are all deeply saddened by the tragedy of the Victorian bushfires, and the loss of so many lives. As a small gesture we have donated last Fridays crop night fees to the bushfire appeal. For those ladies interested in helping out further, please check out Sara Gladmans blog http://sares1911.wordpress.com/….She is asking for volunteers to make memory albums to donate to families who have lost their homes, and the Imagination Factory is registered as a drop-off point.
FEBRUARY CHALLENGE
On a brighter note, there are still 10 days left to submit a layout for Februarys challenge. Just in case you missed it, all you need to do is scrap a page (or Off the Page) all about YOURSELF. It’s that easy! So get scrapping ladies to be in the running to win a $10 Imagination Factory Gift Voucher.
NEW STOCK
We’re particularly loving K&Co’s new Amy Butler range, it’s floral and feminine and oh so gorgeous. As are the new autumn leaves and Rouge de garance collections. “Snips & Snails” has also arrived and is perfect for little boys! Our range of Bazill is continuing to expand, with the first release of Swiss Dot. And for those that like to try something different the coredinations whitewash cardstock comes in a gorgeous colour range and is lots of fun to tear and distress.
