Here is a little about Donna and her store
Hi I'm Donna, owner of Mystical Scrapbooks. I'm married and a SAHM for my son, and I have been scrapping for about 7 years. When my son started school I wanted to return to work, but also wanted to be available for school runs etc. Quite by accident I found Mystical Scrapbook up for sale, and it was the perfect fit, so I took over in Oct 2008.
I strive to maintain high standards in customer service with fast delivery and great prices. If there is a product I don't have, and you need it, please contact me and I will source it in for you, no request is too big or too small. My goal is to ensure that my customers are happy. I feel that a big part is that is having a user friendly, easy to navigate web site, with plenty of inspiring and useful tips and ideas along with great prices. We offer free postage delivery on orders over $70. Small order are welcome and we will only charge actual postage rates.
We also have weekly challenges and monthly CC and a fantastic DT team to help inspire you or help with any questions you might have.

The Stamp Spot – bringing international stamp companies to Australia
The Stamp Spot is an online store based in the Perth hills. While the store mostly stocks rubber and acrylic stamps and stamping products, we have an ever growing line of scrapbooking papers and products.
Owned by Marcia Pringle, the store started in July 2009 hoping to bring to Australian customers the many and varied stamps that are available from overseas. With the growth of blogging, so many stampers here were able to experience the wow factor of other companies stamps, many not available here or the cost on currency conversion made them expensive. We’ve been successful in bringing to Australia My Favorite Things, The Greeting Farm, Stampavie, Unity Stamps and more.
In addition to these wonderful products, I have a taste for most things Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket, Sassafras Lass and October Afternoon – these are just some of the manufacturers products you will find instore. There may not be a massive range in store, but they are very competitively priced. We offer a flat postage cost of $6.95 (free post on orders over $75.00) – small orders will be refunded the difference in postage costs; it’s all about getting the products to you at a low cost.
For those in Perth – please feel free to contact The Stamp Spot to arrange a shopping date by appointment. There is a ‘shop’ as such, and any given week can see quite a few customers pop past for a look and a buy.
From now until the 18th June, The Stamp Spot is offering up to 40% off ** across the range of papers, rubons, alphas and more in store. It’s Stocktake time and we want to move as much stock as we can before the count begins.
* * Note: Free post is not available during this time, while stocks last, no rainchecks or backorders. Coupons can be redeemed.
Contact Us by email at info@thestampspot.com.au or to make an appointment please call Marcia on 0428 94 54 54

Here is a little about Suzanne and her store.
Handmade By Suzanne, owned by Suzanne McGregor began as a card making business selling to friends, family and local children’s markets. In November I stepped into the role of coordinating my local scrapbooking club and part of our club is a ‘shop’ selling all the goodies you might run out of on the day. A moment of insanity and Handmade By Suzanne turned into an online retailer and is now enjoying it’s 6th month in operation and I absolutely love ‘going’ to work each day. I have 2 young boys and have always wondered what kind of home based business I could have which allowed me to be a SAHM but also filled the working need in me. I began scrapbooking and card making just 4 short years ago and would never have believed where it might take me!
Handmade By Suzanne has all your favourite scrapbooking and crafting brands at reasonable prices. New stock is arriving weekly and we recognise that customers want the latest and greatest which is where a lot of our time is spent researching to keep up with it all.
We offer customer service beyond your expectations with a policy of “customers for life”.
Orders are shipped within 24 hours of payment received and in most cases same day. We recognise being Perth based may be a disadvantage but it means we can keep our prices low and we work extra hard to ensure we are your store of preference.
Free postage on orders over $50 (Australian Addresses Only) and a flat rate of $5.00 postage on all other orders. Small orders are welcome, we will only charge what it costs us to send so e-mail for a quote otherwise we will offer to refund where the postage will be less.
Visit our gallery and be inspired by the fantastic work of our Design Team. We offer monthly sketch competitions drawn at random so don’t be shy, everyone has a chance to win.

My name is Laura and I am 35 years old. I am from Finland but moved to Australia almost 6 years ago with my partner Paul and our cat Sokeri. I have been scrapping for about 3 years now and I do love it. I am so happy to be able to save memories.
My style is described clean and controlled and that is true. I love straight clean lines. I don't use a lot of embellishments and I do love layouts with a lot of white space. Having balance is really important for me.
My top three products would be black pen, patterned papers and alphabet stickers. My favourite brands include October Afternoon, American Crafts, Sassafras Lass and gosh, so many others.
I love making layouts that make me giggle. Also, I love my family (my partner Paul and our cat Sokeri) and making layouts of them.. I can go all silly if I want to.
My favourite size to scrap is definitely 12x12, but I do love making the occasional 8.5x11 layout, too. I have tried 6x12 but those are sooooooo difficult for me. Eeeek! I really like having different size layouts in my albums.
Here is Laura's gorgeous take on the Ebony and Ivory challenge. and please check our her blog for more of her amazing creations !! Thanks Laura for an awesome layout!!
Challenge Heaven NING community and blog are here to stay thanks to some of our wonderful sponsors. Avid Scrappers, Everlasting Scrapbooks and The Stamp Spot that have all generously donated some cash to keep us afloat for the next twelve months at least.
This site is growing every day and I can no longer do it all on my own so.....
Do you love a good challenge to get your mojo going?
