::SPEED SCRAPPING COMPETITIONS 12 & 13 NOV::
Sandra tried her best the night before last, to recruit more people for the competitions with loud proclaimations of the $40 Made With Love cash vouchers prize giveaway for these competitions but alas … local scrappers are indeed an extremely shy bunch … with only 3 finally reporting for the competitions … …
Even though crowds thronged our place … …
… … many were happy to be spectators as they remained daunted by the task at hand … …which was to set 10 eyelets as quickly as possible … … the winner would be the scrapper first to finish with 10 eyelets set firmly.
But even with a small bunch of competitors … … it was hardly uneventful as there was a dramatic turn of events when this scrapper seen in the above pix was initially the first to complete setting 10 eyelets. Unfortunately, as Sandra was inspecting her work, an eyelet fell dramatically onto the table!!!
Feli, our Scrapaholic For Life member and a familiar face at our place, who came in 2nd was immediately declared the overall winner of the contest and she received $40 worth of Made With Love vouchers.
Competitors holding up evidence of their speedy eyelet setting skills… …
And Sweech and Sandra up to mischief AGAIN!!! Oh…beeehave … .. (said Austin Powers style) :)
By contrast, last night’s Speed Scrapping Competitions saw some serious competing from amongst 7 scrappers, most of whom were warmed up from attending a workshop… …
This time it was scrappers’ hand-stitching skills that were put to the test!!!
Some stitched better standing whilst others preferred to remain seated … …
But ultimately, it was this scrapper below SP who won the competition in record time with a rather huge lead…Yaaaaay!!!
Congratulations to feli and SP … we hope you’ll have fun spending them on stuff your heart desires!!!
And for those of us who haven’t taken the plunge yet … you can look forward to signing up for the Paper-Trimming contest this coming Thursday evening. Just make a minimum purchase of $40 in a single receipt and you’re all set to compete … and hopefully you’ll walk away with $40 worth of Made With Love vouchers. :)
And just so you know …. many of you have been asking if the Creative Cafe is a permanent fixture … yes it is … so if you’re coming from abroad for the Maya Road workshops or our other events of the month … … you’ll get to experience Make & Takes at our own little Creative Cafe right at our door-step …. here’s a close-up look of the place if you haven’t been able to make it down to our place in the last few days … …
Glass window slides open when a Make & Take session is in progress to reveal this … … ;)
