STORE NEWS SUNDAY - February Kit Release

We have a February Sale night now announced, that is this coming Thursday!

This is one week later than the usual release night, however some of you may be aware of the Dock strikes in the US. This has had a big impact on scrapbooking products and has held up some of the products in the February kits so I had to be flexible and push the date back a little. Apologies for that.

I am so excited about the upcoming kits, they contain all the latest CHA products and are truly scrumptious.

Here is a little peek into what they contain….think these are my new favourite (though I think I say that every time).

A little glimpse into the Cupcake #scrapbooking kit at #apocd #apieceofcakedesigns for February- we love @hkswapp products and this new line is just totally gorgeous and not limited to the memory planners! So versatile! #heidiswapp #americancrafts #scrapbook #papercrafts

In others news we have opened a Facebook Group the 'APOCD Cafe' for our followers. Its a place to share your creations, ask for or give advice and chat about all things scrapbooking and APOCD. Basically a little community where we can all gather. I have a little something (possibly a giveaway and competition) up my sleeve for those that join.

January Releases Guest Designer - Jodie King

Hello everyone,

Raquel here with a quick post to introduce you to a Guest Designer we have working with our Cupcake kit in January.

I'd love to welcome Jodie King to our blog this January/February. Jodie has been creating with this lovely Cupcake kit.

I was drawn to Jodie's gorgeous layered style through her work on the Papercut Labs. You can visit Jodie's blog here to see some of her gorgeous creations

Here is a bit about Jodie in her own words:

My name is Jodie King and I live on Queensland's beautiful Sunshine Coast. I’ve been scrapbooking for 6 years, and love to create project life spreads, traditional layouts and cards. I’m a bit of an eclectic scrapper, and often switch between clean and simple layouts and something with more texture. Aside from being a scrapbooker I’m a mum to two awesome almost grown kids and loving life with my hubby of 20 years.

Thanks for visiting the blog today, stay tuned for a post from Nat May tomorrow and creations from our design team and guest Jodie :)

DESIGN TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT - Returning Natalie May and some STORE NEWS

Hi everyone,

Today is the first of the Design Team announcements!

We are very lucky here at APOCD as the lovely Natalie May is returning for another term. Natalie has the most amazing versatility in her scrapbooking and is able to create projects covering a variety of scrapbooking styles. We are truly blessed to have her staying on and showcasing the APOCD kits in the way she does. Thanks for staying on Nat and for loving and supporting APOCD the way you do.

Heres a little about Nat in her own words,  so you can get to know her better:

I’m lucky enough to be a full time paper crafter, working at Adelaide's best scrapbooking shop, Seriously Scrapbooking alongside some of Australia’s most recognised scrappers, 

teaching around 15 classes a month and designing chipboard forImaginarium Designs. 

I’m also an Intermediate Certified Copic Designer and love everything inky & color based. 

I don’t have a particular style – versatility is my biggest asset … from 

heritage, simple, sketches and shabby through to mixed media and cardmaking – I like to dabble in it all! 

Currently I am the Design Team Coordinator for Imaginarium DesignsChipboard and recently joined the Creative Team at Australian Scrapbooking Ideas Magazine and I am also loving being part of the team with White With One Challenge site.

Please join me in welcoming Nat back to the team!

We also have some store news here and I plan on sending a store newsletter out this Sunday just incase you missed the announcements on Facebook or Instagram

We have upgraded the APOCD store and it now offers lots of new features. It may look the same but multiple changes have been made to improve your online shopping experience; a more streamlined cart, the ability to register and track new and past orders and of course being able to download digital files!

Which means, I am pleased to announce APOCD is opening a digital store offering cut files, photoshop brushes and other digital elements perfect for digi scrapping and using on your cutting machines! The best thing about the digi store is that the shopping is INSTANT, you will be sent a digi link to download your file and then your ready to start using it right away :)
 

In order to start this new venture I have a few awesome designers on board who are helping to create items exclusively for APOCD.  I am revealing two of them today:

Our first designer is the lovely Jessy Christopher, she is not only a very talented scrapbook but an awesome designer too!

Hello! My name is Jessy Christopher. I am a stay-at-home mum & a scrapbooker in Malaysia. Married to my very supportive husband, Eric for 9 years now. We have a beautiful baby girl, Katelynn & 2 feline fur-babies. I started off with digital & hybrid scrapbooking late 2007 and finally ventured into paper scrapbooking in the early of 2008. I am truly honoured to be a part of APOCD Digital Store.

Our second beautiful and talented designer is the lovely Jodie Allan York from Polka Dot Creative. Jodie has found her love in 'brush scripting' and she surely is amazing at it!

Jodie is a multi-passionate creative. She owns the creative site Polka Dot Creative where she shares her love of Project Life, art journaling, stories about her life and that of her four babes. Jodie also as a passion for the written word and produces brush script artwork on posters and canvases which she makes in her quaint little cottage. Jodie sells these artworks in her on-line store and takes commission work on request. She is currently designing a new look for her website so keep an eye out for that.
