As we all know Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and to help celebrate this special day, MTL is making February the month of LOVE.  All our classes this month are dedicated to those people in our lives who we love more than anything else, our partners, our children, and those special people that make our lives worth while.

There are some beautiful layouts and cards to make throughout the month, finishing off with a whole day class making a 10 page wedding album out of the new blue and silver Bella wedding range “Ever After”.  So why not get out those photos of your special someone and come and spend some ‘Me Time’  completing one of our eye catching layouts.

Great news ladies, our shipment of Q3 Made with Love is now in store.

The Made with Love range has six (6) double sided papers, all in soft pinks and purples, just in time for all those Valentines day pages you may be inspired to complete.  There are also some great co-ordinating embellishments.

Also keep an eye out for the new Q3 Magazine, these  sort after magazines are in limited supply so get in quick.  Kaiser will still be releasing their magazine quarterly, however, have decided to return to releasing papers monthly so keep an eye out for their next two collections arriving sometime next month.

To celebrate Australia Day, Memories That Last is giving 20% off products by Aussie companies like Paper Inklings, Kaiser to name a few. So check out the website and put your orders in for some great savings.

When you are next in the store make sure you take a look at our new Bazzill range - Dotted Swiss.  

This beautiful new range is Bazzill that has been embossed with tiny dots.  This tiny polka dot pattern is embossed into the back side of some fantastic new colours, making it prefect to use where you would usually use plain bazzill and best of all it’s still the same low price that the original Bazzill is, making it great value.  In all we have 13 new colours.

Well we are now well and truely back in the swing of things here at MTL.  It’s a new year and after a short refreshing break we are ready to start up our crop nights and some great new classes in 2010.

As you all know our crop nights are very popular and often hard to get into, so due to numerous requests, by crop starved scrapbookers, we have decided to run our first crop night on 22 January 2010.  There are still places available, so if you are interested, give us a call and put your name on the list or why not book on line.  It’s a great opportunity to get together with girlsfriends and crop, chat and have a relaxing night away from home.

Congratulations to Malina Blagojevic for winning our November Scrap Challenge.  Malina’s page titled Funny Faces was beautifully done and received rave comments from our customers when they were asked to vote.

Once again Malina congrats and don’t forget to pick up your prize when you are next in the store.

Don’t forget when you are next in the store to pick up our next Scrap Challenge for December/January, this month it’s a pre-packed kit and will cost $10.00.  Since we are closing on 23rd December and that only gives customers three days to vote, this months challenge won’t need to be back until 20th January 2010, lets face it we are all very busy at this time of year but hopefully you can find some spare time over your Christmas break to complete your challenge and get it back to us in early January.

Last year at Christmas time our Design Team member Kylie gave us all this lovely candle for Christmas and this year I thought I’d share this great idea with you.

You can pick these candles up from house and home style shops for a few dollars, and I did see them at Victorias Basement last week and  they were selling them out for only $2 each, and considering that you could use up your left over Christmas scraps to cover the tin it is a very cost effective present for that someone you don’t know what to get.

The paper is just modge podged on and then Kylie has used a Kaiser star to decorate the top.  Hope this has given you a quick and easy idea.
