SHARE SOME LOVE & GET SOME LOVE

has a special offer on subscription at the moment, in aide to help raise funds for the victims of the lastest devastating tornadoes that have wrought havoc on their community only a couple of days ago. Thankfully most are safe but many are displaced beacause they have lost their homes. Read the following excerpt posted today on the forum and in their newsletter and lend a helping hand by grabbing this generous offer.

"By now, you’ve probably heard about the tornadoes and the devastating effects they’ve had on our small community  here in Dexter, MI. Ever since we announced that we would be temporarily closed until we’re able to get things back to normal, we’ve been hit by a landslide of e-mails sending prayers, good thoughts and lots of hugs. Many have asked if there is anything they can do to help.

Yes, there is.

As a way of raising relief funds for the hundreds of people who have lost their homes (many of whom were already dealing with financial hardships) and are now taking shelter in school gym’s and cafeterias and will be displaced soon, we would like to hold a very special sale.

Simply share some love and get some love. All of our subscription plans, except for monthly, are on sale, and if you purchase the Lifetime Special (a really screaming deal!), all proceeds from this special offer will be shared with in-need families in the Dexter, MI area.

The Lifetime subscription is just that. It never expires. And for a limited time, it’s roughly the same amount as a one-year subscription would be if paid on monthly installments! That’s unlimited years of fabulous content for just a few bucks more than a year!

To purchase, please use promotion code DEXTER to receive 25% off term subscriptions, depending on which one you choose.  No promo code is needed for the Lifetime subscription, but this special price won’t last for long. Get it now while you can.

And don't forget. You can also purchase subscriptions as gifts for friends and loved ones! They'll appreciate your kindness and so will we!

We sincerely thank you for being a part of the Scrapbook News and Review community and for all the love and support you’ve been sending our way. It’s greatly needed...and appreciated."

DEERLICIOUS PALETTE!

This weeks palette at The Color Room is a beautiful selection of muted pastels, that have that old world feel about them.

My DT page is a giant leap away from my usual creations, probably because I am more inclined to use bold colours. But the photo of Miss Tegan all dressed up like a deer was a perfect fit for the palette (well I think so), anyways I decided I'd use it and try for a whimsical come vintagy page with lots of crazy stitching in a vain attempt at Helena Virpi's scrapping style, absolutely love her work...swooon!

This page was created using the stunning Swedish Paper range from 

PION Designs which is this months sponsor over at TCR.

So your living in Australia and you want to get your hands on some of their gorgeous paper ranges pop over to Scrap Matrix for a spot of retail therapy.

Thanks for stopping by and a big happy crafting cheerio to you! xox

Anyways there is lots to share in this post so I best get on with it.

1 x Pearl flourish

3 x Altered shipping tags

Forget-Me-Not flower

If your printer has a CMYK setting, use that for a true to colour result.]

All proceeds from the sale of 'Your So Purdy' goes back into TCR to help pay for the runnings of the ning site. So if it looks like something you could have a play with pop on over to the store and grab yourself the kit, there are a couple of other fabulous kits on offer too.

Here is a sample LO showcasing what you can do with the 'Your So Purdy' mini kit.

I also did a traditional page this week using the gorgeous paper range 'From my Heart 2' by the fabulous Swedish company Pion Design , they are such pretty, vintagy papers, but you know me I have to add some kind of contrast to off set that. So I used some cute miniture puzzle pieces from 'Stamp In Style' aren't they great.

They worked perfectly with the wordart I created on some Grafix Rub-Onz which says;

Okay so there you have it, the longest post in the world, sorry for that guys even I think I need to make myself a coffee now, tee hee...Have a great day and happy scrapping!
