More September layouts!

Here are Juliann's layouts done with the September kit! She's also provided sketches for these layouts that will be included in the newsletter! Thanks Juliann!

September layouts!

I received Jen's layouts for the September kit this morning! They are just as amazing as I expected! I know the color scheme for this kit may seem a little unusual at first, but you can crank out some really cool layouts with it! It works well for both boys and girls, adults and children, holidays or everyday memories. I have received Juliann's layouts but for some reason I've lost them in cyber never-never land. As soon as I get them back from her I'll post them. If you want one of these kits RUN don't walk over to http://www.queenscraps.com/ because there are only 3 left!

Jen has also created some fun party favors with her scraps from the kit. Here's the finished product, full directions will be in the newsletter! If you'd like to receive the newsletter, please email me at sharon@queenscraps.com. Or you may download the newsletters directly from the website on the 15th when they go up.

September kits!

I know I'm late - I'm sorry! School started last Monday so I've been trying to get back into the swing of things. This morning I just decided I need to sit down and pay some attention to the blog and website. So, here is the September kit! I've also got lots of layouts from Jen and Juliann this month to go along with it. I'll post those over the next few days for you all to see.

Now shipping internationally!

Yes - that's right! Having a Design Team member from Malaysia has brought more international interest to Queen Scraps. Therefore, I have decided to expand to the international market. The website shopping cart has been set to give accurate shipping costs to our international buyers. I have not had time to update the FAQ section yet though.

Costs for certain countries are as follows:

Canada/Mexico - $23

France - $30

England - $30

Obviously I can't guess where each customer will come frome, so if you don't fall into any of these categories, you will receive an invoice through PayPal with additional shipping costs. Additionally, if you are overcharged for shipping that overage will be refunded to you when I ship your package. All international shipments will be made by USPS Priority Mail International which takes 6-10 days to arrives.

I'll be posting our September kits tomorrow!

A little something...

I have created a code for new customers! Use 25OFF to receive 25% off of your very first order! This can only be used one time per customer.

Brand new Design Team!

I'm so excited to finally announce our brand new Design Team! So many people applied and each and every one of you have phenominal talent! I had originally planned on having only two designers and they would alternate each month. But, with all of the applicants I couldn't narrow it down to only two, so I decided to bring in THREE new designers! Please welcome Juliann Marchant, Irene Tan, and Jennifer McWhirt to the Queen Scraps team! Please check out each of their blogs and galleries to get a glimpse of things to come!

First, welcome Irene Tan!

Here is a little bit about Irene:

"I've been scrapbooking since 2005. But, I've stopped from early 2006 for more than a year and only started to scrap again in March 2007."

"I'm a mother to two of my most loved ones and I have a most wonderful family that had always support me to pursue my passion. Scrapbooking to me is really about family and my life. There's nothing more fun and inspiring than to scrap about photographs captured during everyday life with our loved ones. My motto towards scrapping has always been "Scrap with your heart and remember to have fun too!"

"I'm kind of the 'Ephemera' style but then again, I would love to workwith some fun colours at times. But there's one thing I can be sure of, I'm all about distressing! Lastly, I'm really honored and excited to be part of the the designing team of QueenScraps. Refer the link below to get to know me more."

Next, welcome Juliann Marchant! Juliann has been a frequent Guest Design for Queen Scraps and I had no doubts about asking her to join us full time. Please scroll down to see her fabulous work with August's special project kit!

Here is a little more about Juliann:

"Hi I'm Julie SAHM of Alexa and Wil, and Wife to Bill for almost 12 years now. I have always been a crafty artsy person, from Interior Design school, to working with water colors, pastels, dried floral arrangements, and clay. I have been scrapping for a little over 5 years now, and there is no turning back!! I not only LOVE scrapping my 2 kiddos, my family, and our excursions, but love to alter and create fun projects using all my scrappy supplies."

You can also check out Juliann's work on her blog at http://scrappylife.blogspot.com/

And last but certainly not least, Jen McWhirt! I do not have a photo of Jen yet, but I will post one as soon as I can!

Here is a little about Jen:

"I think I have a pretty simple style and while I enjoy doing layouts with just one photo on them I love doing layout with lots of pictures on them."

"My favorite things to scrap are my two boys and our family adventures with a mix of funny layouts about my dog too. I have been married to my husband who is active duty army for just over 13 years. I started scrapbooking just shortly after getting married basically to meet some other wives but I was hooked once I started making pages and haven’t stopped since."

Welcome aboard everyone!

August is almost here!

Whew - I am SO GLAD that July is about over! That was a busy month for me! Single mom with three kids at home - then add school for me (summer classes fit the same information as a regular semester into half the time!), a full time business and you've got one crazy lady right now! Let me tell you, I'm so ready for school to start back up! The older two just can't stand each other any more and I'm running out of ways to entertain them! I posted pictures of Juliann's beautiful butterfly album and today I'll show you the kit! Here are both kits offered for the month of August. I hope you love them as much as I do! The Blue Awning papers are so awesome to work with! I was able to get 6 layouts done with the kit and I still have a few sheets of papers left along with the chipboard buttons, a few pieces of ribbon, and a few of the pearls. This is by far my favorite kit ever and I didn't even think I'd like using the papers! Check out the August specials on our homepage at www.queenscraps.com.
