December Cyber Crop Postponed

Hi everyone. I'm sorry to say, that due to the technical difficulties that the Snap and Scrap site is currently experiencing, the December Cyber Crop has been postponed until next weekend. It will now be commencing on Friday 2nd. My apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused. I hope you can all come join in the fun next weekend!!

Just a quick note about the site. It is back up, but there are still a few gremlins. The forums are not yet functional, but we hope to have that all fixed up soon....please be patient with us and we'll be back before you know it!!

Cheers xox

Scrap Matters Black Friday Blog Train

Welcome to the ScrapMatters.com Black Friday Blog Train!! You are stopping by my hometown Bendigo, in Central Victoria, Australia.

My favorite Christmas Tradition is the making of the Cox family Christmas Pudding. As children, my brother and I hated Christmas Pudding. It was always so heavy, dark and icky. Then my wonderful mother came up with an amazing recipe that we just adored (to this day it is the ONLY Christmas Pudding I will eat). Every year Mum would get all of the ingredients together and my brother and I would help her mix it up. Now we are all grown up and have children of our own. So every year, a few weeks before Christmas, Mum picks up my 2 girls and takes them to her house for a sleep over, where the main event is making Christmas Puddings!! I just love that she has carried on this fun tradition with my kids too!!

If you'd like to give the recipe a try, here it is.....a little extra gift for you!!

And here's my Hybrid Freebie. 1 Christmas Card and 1 Gift Tag, created using the fabulous ScrapMatters Collaboration kit "Comfort & Joy"

You can grab it here.

Your next stop is Tater's Blog.

And just in case you're a little lost, the previous stop was Kim's Blog.

As we are co-ordinating this train over numerous time zones with over 30 stops, please be patient if some stops are not yet posted!!

A GOODBYE AND A WELCOME

Due to spending the better part of last week in hospital with my little dd Pheobe (she's all better now), this is probably a little late coming!! Vanessa (aka Unica) has said goodbye and is no longer on my CT. Sad for me, but fabulous for her. She has taken the plunge into designing and believe me, this girl has got the goods!! You can check out her stuff at Christinareneedesigns.com I have to say that I am really sorry to see her go, she is such a talented digi-scrapper and a beautiful person too!! I wish you luck with your new adventure Vanessa (not that you're going to need it!!).

Here's Vanessa's stunning final contribution to the Scrap'it CT:-

I also have some happy news! After saying a sad goodbye to Vanessa, we have welcomed Cristina to the Scrap'it family. Welcome aboard Cristina!! You can check out her gorgeous layouts below:-
