It's on again folks ... The Sydney Paper Crafts Festival that is and The Scrap Heap will be there again with our stand absolutely overflowing with $1 and $2 Bargains for everyone!!

We have heaps more stock this year from a huge variety of suppliers including Making Memories, Basic Grey, Three Bugs, Bella, Bazzill, KI Memories and Kaisercraft to name a few. Also our regular range of Ribbons, Brads, Rhinestones will be there and of course heaps of those Flowers that you all love!!

Don't forget that the Festival is at a New Venue this year at Canterbury Racecourse. It is close to the centre of Sydney and there is ample free parking. Good public transport is available, both by bus and rail. Visitors using Canterbury Station will have a courtesy bus service. The venue also has an excellent catering outlet that has a wide variety of food and refreshments.

We hope all the Sydney-siders come down and see us next weekend at the Sydney Paper Crafts Festival ... on all weekend including Friday October 31st (Halloween), Saturday November 1st and Sunday November 2nd from 9.30am till 4pm.


Thanks everyone and look forward to seeing you all there.

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 ...

So who wants to race??

It was fun making them up and soooo quick and easy too. The original OSW Template was inspired by Stephanie Carroll in the US.

And don't forget if anyone else wants the instructions just email me at christinem@hotkey.net.au and I will forward the files on to you.

Thanks everyone

Thanks so much to everyone who sent in an application to join our Inspiration Team. We were very excited by all the applications and you have all definitely made the selection process difficult for us with all your terrific projects.

We will be sorting through the applications this weekend and hopefully will be able to let you all know how you went in the next week or so. We will try to keep The Scrap Heap's Blog updated with how we are going with this process as well so check in there occasionally.

Thanks again everyone who took time out of their day to apply for a position.
