April Product Highlight - Core'dinations

This month we are focusing on the gorgeous new lines from Core'dinations. Core Amour is available in the Sable collection and the Onyx collection and they are lovely!

This paper is great. You can leave it alone and use it as is or you can sand it up and see what surprise is in store for you when you do or you can tear it up and reveal the inner core. So much to do with it - each time you play you can get a different look.

Why not pop into the store and pick some up. For the month of April it will be 15% off.

If you want to get a look at both collections, check them out HERE on the Core'dinations website.

Now, check out what the Team did with it....

Mellissa - At first it just had the vines and leaves on it. Until....I sanded the whole paper and up popped lots of dots and cute butterflies. Surprise!!! This particular paper is called ~ADORE~

Tracey - I decided to make a card for my project. I took a piece from the Onyx collection and sanded it and distressed the edges and voila! Card done! Easy peasy and great for a masculine card!

Anne Marie - I also got to play with ADORE! At first I was sure what to do but I am happy with the results. So fun to play with!!!! I do ADORE this line!!!!!!


Marissa - The sanding revealed the band of words (Friends, Family, Love) as well as the hearts along the bottom of the page. I also distressed the edges so you could see more black, and sanded a bit across the top of the paper.

Heather - For my layout I used the Forever paper from the Sable Collection. Sanding revealed the title "Family is Forever" as well as the family member titles. I only sanded the ones that applied to my photo -- mother, aunt, uncle, son, daughter, grandmother, sister, brother, niece and nephew. After sanding I highlighted them with brown ink so that they stand out more.

From the Turtle family to yours, we hope you have a safe and Happy Easter!

Just a reminder that we are CLOSED on Friday, April 2nd. We are OPEN for our regular hours Saturday, Sunday and Monday!

Design Team Reveal Day!!

I can't believe today is the last day for a Reveal from this current design team. I know I speak for all of the DT members when I say it has been a pleasure to be part of the team. Scrapping Turtle is so fabulous to their team and the store and forum are wonderful communities to be a part of. So, as this team signs off we wish nothing but the best of luck to the new team coming in! Watch for an announcement May 1st!!

This month the team is playing with some Bo Bunny goodness!! Yumminess all around! These 5 lines are hot items in the store and are moving fast so get yours today!!

Marissa - I am working with Flower Child this month. It is so pretty!!!! I can't stress that enough. The colours are so bold, yet muted because they seem distressed. All the papers work with this line. The stickers, the chipboard, the flowers, the brads! WOW they are fantastic and create a seamless flow for a themed album, or a few pages of the same event.


Anne Marie - All I have to say is BO BUNNY!!!!!! I got to play with the Roughin' It Line!! Super line especially for me and all the outdoor activities we do!!! Both sides of the paper is fantastic!!!


Heather - This month I am working with the gorgeous Jazmyne line. It is from Bo Bunny's Limited Edition Glitter Series. This line is stunning!! The papers are all beautifully glittered, the colours are rich, and there are fabulous embellishments that go with the line. And it incorporates my favourite colour -- purple!!

Mellissa - I am playing with the very delish Mama-razzi line. If you havent seen these new lines in person, then you'd better hurry up, they will fly off those shelves. All the new lines come with matching CS, chipboard stickers, element stickers, combo stickers, buttons, brads, etc, etc. Fabulous stuff girls.


Tracey - So, for my last month I am playing with the absolutely fabulous Sophie line by Bo Bunny. I {heart} Bo Bunny and this line is no exception. It is yummy and girly and I love it!

Don't forget to pop the forum on April 15th to see the rest of the reveals!
