Quilting on the Kenai

This year Scrapaholics is participating in the Quilting on the Kenai Quilt Walk. The Quilt Walk starts June 10th and runs through June 25th. Stop by and pick up your passport and check out the beautiful quilt we have displayed in our store.

You will need to have your passport stamped at all participating businesses and drop off the completed passport at Robin Place Fabric or bring it to the Fashion Show on Saturday, 6/25 at 7 pm at Soldotna Church of God for a chance to win some great prizes. You do not need to be present to win.

You do not need to be a quilter to participate, you just need to enjoy looking at all the beautiful creations and you must like to win great prizes!

Go to www.robinplacefabrics.com for all the information about Quilting on the Kenai and what events/classes are going on.

TOILET PAPER ROLL MINI ALBUM CONTEST

(Example photo)

The contest for May is a toilet paper roll mini album with the theme "Happiness is..."

(Sorry for above picture, no matter what I tried it comes up sideways!) :(

You will create an album that showcases what makes you happy in this life, it can be the big things, such as your family, down to the simple things in life, like your morning cup of coffee.

In this kit you will receive four empty toilet paper rolls, four 6x12 pieces of double-sided paper, three 6x12 and two 6x6 pieces of coordinating cardstock, a "happiness is..." stamped image and 5 pieces of coordinating ribbon (not shown in photo).

You must use some of all the elements provided in the kit, but for this contest you are given the creative freedom to add your own elements, i.e., pictures, stamped images, embellishments, etc.

Kits are available now and completed albums will be due back on Saturday, May 21st.

Albums will be on display for judging Wednesday, May 25th through Tuesday, May 31st.

Winner will receive a $10 store credit and thier next contest kit free!

Below is a quick tutorial on how to cover your toilet paper rolls:

Toilet paper rolls are different lengths, so measure the length of yours. Mine measured 4-5/16", so I cut a piece of paper that was 4-5/16 x 6 inches, see below.

Before applying adhesive I wrapped the toilet paper roll with the paper, lightly creasing at folds, this helps with placement later.

Apply adhesive all the way around the backside of paper, and add a few pieces in the middle to keep the paper in place, see above.

Wrap paper around toilet paper roll, overlapping edges in back. (If you look close you can see where my paper overlaps)

MARCH PAGE LAYOUT CONTEST

March is National Craft Month, and so to get those creative juices flowing, we are having a page layout contest!
I am always inspired by Tim Holtz, I love that he challenges us to think out of the box, and pushes us out of our crafting "comfort zone". So... for this page layout I am going with a Tim Holtz-inspired theme.
You will get a page kit with lots of Tim Holtz, or Tim Holtz-inspired, die-cut embellishments and stamped images and your challenge is to create a single page layout using ALL of the elements provided in your kit, you MAY NOT add any other embellishments of your own to your project.
You may alter, cut, distress, ink, paint, stain, glitter, emboss, etc., any of the embellishments in your kit.
Kits will be available starting this Saturday, March 5th, and will cost $10 per kit.
Completed page layouts need to brought in by Saturday, March 19th. (Layouts will be returned.) The layouts will be displayed in store for judging Tuesday 3/22 through Saturday, 3/26. So plan on coming in this week and voting on your favorite layout!
