The purpose of this correspond is twofold.
Firstly, I have been blessed by you all and I personally wanted to communicate my sincere thanks and appreciation for all the support and friendship shown toward me in my time as the proprietor of Scrap Matrix.
My journey was made all the more enjoyable by each and every one of you and these words seem inadequate towards expressing my appreciation – bless all of your white cotton socks!
The time has come, Yes - Scrap Matrix has changed hands. Unfortunately recent personal circumstances have not allowed Scrap Matrix to service its valued customers and supporters to the highest possible standards. I sincerely apologise for this situation (Moving house, Renovations, Computer problems ETC) and hope I have been fair when not being able to fulfill orders.
I welcome and introduce Vicki as the proprietor of Scrap Matrix. I will be providing my utmost support in Vicki’s new venture and hope you can support her as you have done me, throughout my time.
I will continue to be involved in the craft I love, so hopefully I can maintain contact with you.
Please feel free to contact me at – <a href="mailto:neil.rae5@gmail.com" style="color: #0186ba;">neil.rae5@gmail.com</a>
or follow my journey at <a href="http://illbeblessed.blogspot.com.au/" style="color: #0186ba;" target="_blank">http://illbeblessed.blogspot.com.au/</a>
I will also continue designing for Scrap Matrix and will have projects for viewing each month. I am really looking forward to getting my creative back on.
Take care Rae xx
Again, thank you and the warmest Welcome to Vicki
Scrap Matrix is open for business, however due to relocation and change of ownership, things may be a little later than usual.
The Scrap Matrix web site is currently being upgraded to a newer - an easier to navigate version, and some stocktaking is needed, so there may be a few hiccups, (like things no longer in stock maybe), but please bear with us as we are in this process. Rest assured that some (lots) of beautiful new product is on its way and the new site should be up and running in a couple of weeks. Vicki will e-mail you all, so you can be among the first to visit the new look site.
The blog and facebook page will also be given a face-lift to compliment the web design, and will continue to share updates of new products, classes and (hopefully) retreats. Stay tuned!</pre>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A handy hint about <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/" target="_self">Helmar's 2 step crackle medium</a>
I learnt this time round. I started with step 1 of the crackle medium
and covered a fair area then when dry iIgrabbed my step 2 of the crackle
medium to find i was low :-( so I only put it in a few places. Once dry
I sprayed ink sprays and let dry again - once dry i found that the
areas that only had step 1 applied to it acted like a resist, look above
and you will see what i mean - the whiteish areas - pretty cool hey??</div>

Hey there from a very hot and humid Darwin, the wet season
is not far off - the joys of tropical living - I love it really :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been playing with <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/" target="_self">Helmar's Two step crackle medium </a>to make some cards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how I went about it;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Coat a sheet of cardstock with <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/" target="_self">Helmar's step 1 crackle medium</a> and allow to dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Apply a coat of <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/" target="_self">Helmar's step 2 crackle medium</a> and allow to dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Cut, tear the desired pieces of crackle paper and start building your cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Easy hey ? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. I used an assortment of embellies, chippies and ink sprays to finish them off - adhereing them into place with<a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/" target="_self"> Helmar's Acid Free Glue, 450 Quick Dry & Quickfix Adhesive Runner</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. So what are you waiting for, start crackling today - remember you can share your <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/" target="_self">Helmar</a> creations on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HelmarUSA" target="_self">Facebook</a> page we love to see what you create with our awesome products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the cards I made with my piece of crackled cardstock - I did
also use another 2 sheets of plain cardstock as the base of my cards
choosing to add the crackled paper on top.</div>

Hi Ho everyone it's Rae here today to share what i have been up to with <a href="http://helmar.com.au/" target="_self">DECOUPAGE & CRAFT PASTE</a> (Yep it's a fav - and I bet it will be yours too). I have been using it alot lately and if you check out my blog <a href="http://illbeblessed.blogspot.com.au/" target="_self">http://illbeblessed.blogspot.com.au/</a> and even here on Helmar's blog you will find lots of things that I have done with this awesome product!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I played with Paper bags, Tissue
tape (washi tape), some Resin & Metal embellishments, Ink Sprays and
a few other odds & ends and this is what I came up
with.............</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://helmar.com.au/" target="_self">DECOUPAGE & CRAFT PASTE</a> was the main glue used throughout my Paper Bag Mini Album. I did reach for <a href="http://helmar.com.au/" target="_self">PREMIUM CRAFT GLUE</a> to secure down my Metal & Resin Embellies.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started out my applying Tissue Tape strips to the paper bags, these
tended to lift a bit , as they arent that sticky. I coated the Tissue
tape with <a href="http://helmar.com.au/" target="_self">DECOUPAGE & CRAFT PASTE</a>, this sure did secure the tape into place and also gave it a lacquared look.</div>

The front and back covers started out as plain pieces of cardboard which I applied a generous amout of <a href="http://helmar.com.au/" target="_self">DECOUPAGE & CRAFT PASTE</a> to then added lace, chippy, dew drops and metal embellies which i used <a href="http://helmar.com.au/" target="_self">PREMIUM CRAFT GLUE</a> to adhere into place. I painted it all with gesso and used ink sprays to create some colours.</div>

Mr Squiggle & my son Jess were my inspiration today! I used to love
watching Mr Squiggle when i was a little girl - loved Mr Blackboard too
hehehe...... & I often find Jess with miniature pencils, I am unsure
if its a fascination with the pencil sharpen or just the fact he likes
tiny pencils. Is this a boy thing I wonder ???</div>

was still a tad wet this let them stick where i needed them. I grabbed a
piece of ruler ribbon and attached it to a piece of chippy to add
strength with <a _mce_href="http://helmar.com.au/" href="http://helmar.com.au/" target="_self">Helmar's Acid Free Glue</a>. For my next trick i took <a _mce_href="http://helmar.com.au/" href="http://helmar.com.au/" target="_self">Helmar's Antique Acrylic Sealer</a> and sealed the front and back covers completely - its a great satin look with a vintage feel to it !!</div>

<br />
Hello everyone and welcome to the <a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/">Helmar Red White and Blue Hop</a>. We have a bunch of wonderful projects to share
with all of you and wanted to celebrate the colors of our design team
with you. Australia, Canada and America are shining brightly, so grab a
glass of your favorite beverage and lets get hopping.<br />
<br />
If you get lost along the way, you will find the order below. Make
sure you leave your comments on every stop for your chance to win. We
will select 1 Canadian, 1 American, and 1 Australian individual. So that
is 3 prizes total. Now lets get hopping.<br />
<br />
If you are hopping along you should have come from <a href="http://mysweetearth.blogspot.com/">Susan's blog</a> ......... <br />
<br />
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi yep you guessed it I'm an Aussie...... I was rather excited about this hop and thought yeah i can do this and i can do that... then realised everything was in storage :-(<br />
So the thinking cap went on and off again, DH added his suggestion 'why don't you do up my esky thats real Aussie' Yep a great suggestion (god love him) but what he didn't realise was i left it to the last minute (too busy entertaining our guests from down south) and the time factor wasn't there .... oops............. <br />
<br />
With all this in mind and time running away from me i reached for my <a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/">Premium Craft Glue</a>, some washi tape, flowers, mists and altered this plain white tin in about 10 mins, tied this little Aussie Tin to it - how's that for quick. <a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/">Premium Craft Glue</a> is a great all rounder from sticking paper to paper, paper to metal and metal to metal it does the trick every time. So when your running a little late and want to add your little touch <a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/">Helmar's</a> always be there to save your day!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/">Tacky Craft Glue</a> worked a treat getting my Chippy stuck down and the <a href="http://www.helmar.com.au/">Premium Craft Glue</a> did the same with the metal bits - unreal a few more to add to my favorites list :-)</div>

Hi Ho its me again :-) This time I wanted to show you what I do with <a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/Helmar%20Acid%20Free%20Glue" target="_self">Helmar Acid Free Glue</a>. I have a huge love for chippy and I find <a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/Helmar%20Acid%20Free%20Glue" target="_self">Helmar Acid Free Glue</a> works wonders with it. I recently did classes with <a href="http://tworzysko.blogspot.com.au/" target="_self">Finnabair</a>, and this Layout was one of my creations and I thought it deserved a frame - dont you reckon??
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My frame is made up of layers and layers of stripes of chippy all stuck together with<a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/Helmar%20Acid%20Free%20Glue" target="_self"> Helmar Acid Free Glue</a></div>

I also used <a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/Helmar%20Acid%20Free%20Glue" target="_self">Helmar Acid Free Glue</a> to adhere the LO into the frame - love love love this glue !!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then painted the frame and applied <a href="http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/Helmar%20Acid%20Free%20Glue" target="_self">Helmar Two Step Crackle Mediums</a>
for that extra touch. Then another coat of paint as i missed bits

I have been totally inspired by<a href="http://tworzysko.blogspot.com.au/"> Finnabair</a>
lately (and I even had her at my place to play - WOWZZA's did I learn a
trick or two). So with my MOJO totally rocking this is what i came up
with, A tag & gift box!! I did have my mother in mind for Mother’s
Day – but I think I like it too much to part with it …so mother got
something else and it’s my Mother’s Day gift now lol</div>
