We are going to run a Melbourne Cup Sweep here and wondered who would like to play.

I will organise some prizes for 4 placings in the race ... 1st, 2nd 3rd and of course Last LOL Not sure what they will be yet but any surprise pack of scrapping stuff is good isn't it ?? LOL

But of course ... there is an entry fee (of sorts) involved in the sweep. We need a layout uploaded to the gallery that fulfils a few criteria ...

1st ... Use the Sketch below (one of October's Page Maps)
2nd ... Use Blue and White somewhere on the layout (last years winners' colours - I think :-))
3rd ... Use a number somewhere in your title


There are usually 24 runners (according to knowledgeable sources LOL) so get scrapping as the first 24 layouts in, get the horses!!

Here is the Category in the Gallery that you need to upload to to qualify for a horse.

http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=4739

You can upload up until 9am on the morning of the race and I will email the group not long after that with everyone's horse and number that day and also post the list over at the forum ...

http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=938

So who wants to race??

A Sweet Gift Idea

Now who wouldn't love a box full of lolly pops and flowers ... especially when the flowers can be reused in your scrapping once you have finished with all the Sugar!!





Project created by Bev Watt

For the base Bev has used a gift box from a cheapie shop but a
milk can or one of the lunch tins from The Scrap Heap with the lid open would look really cool.

She stuffed the bottom with tissue paper and then cut a block of florist foam to fit inside the box. They sell this at most junk shops or you could ask a florist if they will sell you some.

You then take some mini chuppa chups/lolly pops (these are sold in packets at woolies etc, they are smaller than the usual chuppa chups) and thread the stick through the middle of the mulberry flower and arrange them in the container.


To finish it off Bev added some larger all day suckers along the back. Wrap in cellophane and add a bow and you are done!

Bev says that she has also made some other similar gift ideas with different themes including other items such as little garden ornaments like a frog or a fairy.

Products used:

Green Tara 7cm Mulberry Paper Petals


Hope it gets your creative gift-giving ideas flowing since it is only .....

104 Days

until Christmas (sorry bout that LOL)

Thanks everyone!!

A Gift for Uploading to our Gallery

Hello everyone,

As you all know we
have a Gallery attached to our website where we welcome you to upload your layouts and other paper craft creations.

I love to look at all the layouts in the Gallery and am frequently inspired by the creations that are uploaded there as are lots of other people, I am sure.

Now another big part of the Gallery, for me, is the smile I get when I receive comments, questions or feedback about my scrapping in the Gallery. It is lovely to think that my online friends are looking at and appreciating my photos or the work that has gone into the creations.

One of our most prolific commenters at our Gallery would have to the lovely Bev Watt who comments on every single layout that is uploaded to the Gallery one by one. She always has the nicest, supportive, most positive things to say and anyone who knows Bev, knows that it comes straight from the heart.

Well to promote a bit of scrapping amongst our Online friends and to get you all uploading your layouts to The Scrap Heap Gallery, Bev has donated a Gift Voucher for $20 that will go to the person who receives her 20,000th comment in the Gallery.


We at The Scrap Heap have also decided to match this with two more Gift Vouchers for $10 each ... one for the person before who uploads just before and the one who uploads just after the person with number 20,000. Cos you know it's horrible when you miss winning by just one isn't it ??

As I said Bev comments, in order, on every layout that goes into the Gallery, one after another and she has about 100 comments to go to reach the 20,000th.

So ... to make a long story short ... all you need to do is upload your layouts that you create this month to our Gallery and then just sit back and wait for the comments to arrive and you may just be that lucky 20,000 comment from Bev and win a $20 Gift Voucher donated by Bev to spend at
www.thescrapheap.com.au or the not quite as lucky person before or person after who gets a $10 voucher to spend :-)

NEW Bo Bunny and Prize Pack for August

Just letting you know that I have just added a heap of new Bo Bunny Papers and Stickers and things that we picked up yesterday.

Thought you might want to know since Bo Bunny is our Product of the Month this month so all of these yummy new products are 10% off during August - so might be worth having a look while they are on special.

Also the lovely ladies from Bumble Bee Crafts Wholesale (the Aussie Bo Bunny Distributors) have donated a Bo Bunny Prize Pack worth around $100 and we will be drawing a name from the hat of all the people who order anything Bo Bunny through the month of August. If you have already ordered some this month I will put your name in for the draw so don't worry :-)

Just letting you all know that we are off to the Brisbane Scrapbook Expo over the Queens Bday long weekend and if any of the local girls were coming to the show we would love it if you came by to our stand and said Hello!!

Well I packed the car up last night and we are ready to go set up our stand for the show today. The car is wel land truly chock-a-block with boxes almost filled up to the roof of the and poor Mum has a big box of stuff that she will have to nurse all the way down (but she doesn't know that yet though LOL) .

We have lots of new stuff for our $1/$2 stand this year so make sure if you are coming to the show you pop by and say Hi to us and check out all the bargains!!

There are lots of classes on over the weekend that you can book into and some of them look great ... if you haven't seen the workshops that are being offered you can check them out at their website here ... Scrapbook Expo Workshops

Hope to see all the local Brissie girls there!!

Easter Challenges 5, 6, 7 and 8

Ooops sorry no more challenges came through yesterday ... someone got distracted by visits to family and never got back to the computer.

Here are a couple for to keep you scrapping all day:

No 5 - We have a sketch again since you all like them so much (Becky Fleck one this time)


http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=29703

No 6 - Lots of people go camping or have a short break at Easter, so how about doing a LO to celebrate the great outdoors (another VC Idea from Debbie Y)

No 7 - Do a layout using some Basic Grey Paper and do some Tearing and Inking and use something old from your stash as well (the older the better)

No 8 - Make an Off the Page Item that you have had as a project to do for ages and never got round to ... today is the day to do it !!

*phew* is that enough to keep you all busy ??

Easter VC Challenge No 4

Here is Challenge No 4 for the Easter VC Weekend ... this one comes from Debbie Y ...

Because it's Easter and the bunny is due to make a delivery real soon, how about using chocolate (the colour) on a Layout .... paint, embellishments, paper, whatever you like as long as it's the colour of chocolate.

Yummy Yum Yum ... had my first chocolate this morning for Easter at Brekkie at Mum's. It was good !!

I must start the chant now "Chocolate is Bad and tastes like crap. Chocolate is Bad and tastes like crap" !!
Do you think I will believe it if I say it enough times??


Here is the link to the category for upload in the Gallery

http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=4539

Have fun and hope you are scrapping lots and lots - unlike me :

Easter VC Challenge No 2


Well it's Easter and the traditional colours can't be ignored so of course there is no way we can let Easter VC challenges go by without having one of these ...


Do a layout using Pastel Easter-y type Colours and include some Brads and Ribbons on the page

http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=4537

not a necessity to be Easter Themed though :-)

Also a little scrapping goodie pack (of strangely enough, pastel coloured bits and pieces) is up for grabs too and will be drawn from the hat for all those people who leave a comment on our blog over the Easter Weekend VC.

Challenge suggestions eagerly accepted as well ... email me direct to christinem@hotkey.net.au and I will be sure to give thanks (or blame) to you when I set them for everyone to complete :-)

Have fun everyone!!

OK Now I can't think too hard this early in the morning so I think I have done well just setting all this up LOL ... so to make it easier for me I will just go with a sketch for the first VC Challenge.

One of the Sketches that NicoleB shared earlier in the week (thanks Nicole) so I have no idea where it came from but thank you to the creator - I loved it :-)



Here is the link to the sketch in our Gallery too ... oh and no, it doesn't need to be pink *phew* LOL

http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=29658
