Easter Giveaway

Happy Easter everyone,

In honour of this special time of year we’d like to offer up a 10 piece Patterned Paper pack to one reader of this blog. This pack will feature some gorgeous papers as seen in some of our previous kits from a variety of different manufacturers.
Just leave a comment on this blog telling us how your family has celebrated Easter this year. Did you go camping to your favourite family spot? Did you have a quiet weekend at home with lots of chocolate? Did you get any scrapping done?
We’d love to hear what happened at your place! I will announce the winner on Wednesday the 26th.

The first sneak peak of our very sophisticated April Kit will go up this afternoon.

Nominations for great NZ scrapbookers

March 20, 2008

In the last few days I have added more links to our sidebar with some sites and blogs for you to check out. I’ve also started a new column for NZ scrappers we admire, with the likes of Nic Howard and Trina McClune. But my list is a bit thin!I need some help!

So I am prepared to offer a Paper Pesto spot prize to someone who comments on this post telling me the name of a NZ scrapper who inspires them and why. They don’t need to be published or well known but they do need to have a blog or online gallery we can go and have a nosy at!

So who inspires you?

xx Kate

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know that Paper Pesto is sponsoring this fortnight’s dare over at NZ Dares. The dare is to use a ‘she’ quote from Kobi Yamanda’s book. A link to some of these quotes can be found here

I just love this example by Donna Meuli

Sketch Challenge winner and slide show

March 17, 2008

Big congratulations to Rochelle Ansell who takes away our spot prize this month. We will send a yummy parcel of Paper Pesto goodies your way very soon!

We had some lovely entries this month including some from people who have never shown their work online before. Good on you for getting out there and giving it a go! We know how hard it is the first few times but the scrapbooking world is mostly a pretty caring and considerate place and positive comments or feedback received can really make your day. So we challenge you now to get out into blog land and make some positive comments, you never know what could come of it!

xx Kate, Steph and Fi.
