These lovely people are two of the staff at a fantastic store here in Perth called Scraptivate - this is Mel (on the left) and Megan (on the right). This store has got some of the most amazing stuff and talented people working there, presenting Scrapbooking in an artistic way.

They have two Australian-made products that are great: The Collections range is pre-cut chipboard shapes and there's just been some new releases hit the store after the Australian equivalent of CHA. They also have some amazing German Scrap - black angel wings! - all exclusive

to Scraptivate.

My sister, Beth took me down there the Sunday after I arrived. That it took 6 days to get into this store is a dissapointment I'm not sure I'm ever going to live down. UK Stores would kill for this much space to spread out in. One whole length of the store is full of paper racks and she's got everything from the popular US manufacturers, plus some stuff I've never seen from Australian manufacturers. I'm working on her to get Scrapperdashery, but if you'd like her to get the Poetry range, please go in and tell her. I can't put up photos of all the amazing artwork that was dotted around the shop as there simply isn't space, but check out the amazing houses and things on this table.
