We are fortunate to have the ARCC Hall available for our choice of venue, within easy walking distance to the main shopping area and with the Murrumbidgee River right out the back.  The Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Day is an open event, and numbers will be strictly limited on a first in basis.

The Date

The Work Space

May Newsletter

Hi Everyone, welcome to the May Newsletter. Here we are gearing up for the cold, wet winter weather whilst still enjoying a few sunny days. It might be not last much longer, but we know colder weather is just Perfect for staying indoors to scrap or make cards! I hope everyone enjoyed the last school holidays whilst we still had some great outdoor weather.
APRIL SCRAPBURSTS
How did you all enjoy our ScrapBursts? And what about our new addition - the Card Bursts? During March and April we ran 4 challenges in each section, finishing on April 30th. It was wonderful to see so many of you taking part, and also for the card makers joining in with the Card Bursts. I hope everyone who took part was inspired to create, we certainly had a lot of great entries. The winners in the Spellbinders Challenges will each receive a BONUS prize (if they have purchased their dies used in the challenge from Scrapville!)

$5, a cuppa and good company!Due to the increased interest from those that can’t make a Wednesday, we at Scrapville would like to seek your expression of interest in opening up an alternate morning for WanderVille on a regular weekly basis. This would allow those who are unable to attend the Wednesday afternoon WanderVille sessions to have another option to be able to get out and get creative.

We would like to propose that this be a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday morning from 9am to 1pm. Alternately, if you have a group of 6 or more and would like to book the workshop for your own WanderVille Group on a regular basis, we would be interested in discussing this with you.

Please indicate your feedback on the section below this post, and return it to the information box on the sales counter, or cut & paste it into an email to Janet at Scrapville for consideration.
