Scrapbooking has become a very fast growing industry, the craft of displaying your photos in a safe and inviting manner, with the end result often being those who pick up your album having great trouble putting down your beautiful work.  Your album becomes more of a "story" with colour and journaling, rather than just photo after photo.

If you have children like me, love traveling or just love getting out and about you will always have a never ending supply of interesting photo opportunities just waiting for you to put your camera to work, and get into Scrapbooking.

 Huge amount of new arrivals this week at Anna's Craft Cupboard - My Mind's Eye, Cosmo Cricket, Jenni Bowlin, Little Yellow, Glimmer Mist, Kaiser and the list goes on ...


 






 I couldn't resist posting a sneak peak of the Easter kit on our blog... on sale from March 1st.





 
 I've gone a little crazy lately with starting my store and decided March should be honoured as a month of madness. During this month there will be sales that run for the whole month, sales that run for a week and random sales that run for 24 hours. Sales will be announced on the forum as they are posted and on the homepage of the Wild About Scrap website. Sign-up as a customer this month and you will receive a voucher for 20% discount storewide rather than the usual 10%.


 Remember this is the last month for Sale-A-Bration, and to help you all out, FREE POST on qualifying orders - if you qualify for more than one set, you will get vouchers to use in your next order in lieu of post.
 

PurpleScraps commenced on the 6th February, 2004 and have enjoyed 6 wonderful years so far.  We thank you for your interest and support and look forward to growing with you in the coming year.
