Links We Love

Here at Embellees love to share the fabulous goodies we find out there in 'blog land'.  We often wonder how we ever learnt anything before the Internet? 

This is where we intend to share the blogs we 'stalk', and why we 'stalk' them.... where we find our inspiration .... what we are passionate about (now that can change very quickly for us creative types).  So please share our journey and leave us comments if you are prepared to 'out yourself' as a fellow 'blog stalker' (only the nice kind!)



Our Local Links - Newcastle NSW, Australia
  • The beautiful Jen Hall Designs is the Diva on our list (yep you guessed it we scrap with Miss Jen and we are very happy that she is one of our 'local' girlies)... check out her wonderful blog here at: http://www.jenhall.typepad.com/
  • Another one of our beautiful and talented local girls is Janelle Wind... she has lots of goodness to share... we just 'covert' her stitching designs:  http://thejanellewindcollection.typepad.com/
  • Our list must include another talented local 'gal' - Kim Archer.  Now if you haven't done one of Kim's on-line workshops you are definitely missing out:  http://www.kimarcher.com.au/
  • We are blessed here in Newcastle with so many fabulous and famous Scrapbookers... so our list would not be complete without the work of the lovely Marion Werren - check out her layouts, especially if you love vintage and heritage:  http://marionspassionforscrappin.blogspot.com/
  • One of our favourite place to drop-in and satsify our urge for some 'Retail Therapy' is one of our lovely local gals... Miss Michelle who owns the great Scrapbook Divas online store.  Miss Michelle hosts a great monthly crop at Edgeworth 'Bowlo' (noice), so check
    out her site here:

  • We are spoilt here in the Hunter with two great online shops that we regularly buy from.  The lovely Chelsea and her team at ScrapBoutique offer a great range of goodies and always have loads of new products to choose from.  Check out everything on offer here:  http://www.scrapboutique.com.au/boutique/
  • Newcastle Fundraiser - The lovely Miss Mandy does a great job making sure we have a variety of Charity Crops to attend annually in our local area.  Why not add Mandy's Blog to your favourites and keep an eye on what she has planned for us.  These are always a great day and it is so nice to know we can contribute to a worthwhile cause.

  • If you live locally and are looking for a great 'shop front' scrapbooking store that is within driving distance - don't forget to visit Pages2Scrap at Tuggerah.  A great girls day out down that way as they are situated not far from the large Tuggerah Shopping Complex just off the F3, not to mention the 'warehouse/direct factory outlets'.  Tracey and her lovely team (Hello Alex) are very helpful and always stock the latest to get your creative juices flowing.  They offer some great classes and a Saturday Night monthly crop night.  Tell them we sent you:
