Now that our first issue is out there and we have had a bit of a breather, we thought we would take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you that took the time to email us with your comments about our fist issue. Your support has been amazing and has made this incredible journey all the more worth while! As perfect as we would have liked our first issue to have been, it hasn’t been without its fair share of typo’s and grammatical errors. One of the most important email addresses that we have listed has had an extra ‘m’ added – so if you have been trying to enter any of our giveaways please note that the correct email address is innovationsb@yahoo.co.nz and not .com.nz as listed. Please spread the word as we want everybody that has bought our fist issue to have an equal opportunity of winning. Once again, Carol and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your support and well wishes.

Have a look back here tomorrow for a chance to win BIG in a subscription competition.

The very first issue of innovation – Scrapbooking Trends & Techniques is due at your favorite scrapbooking store late next week.  We have, for your convenience, listed all the stores that will be stocking innovation. Now it is just up to you to give them a call to reserve your copy. For those that don’t have scrapbooking stores in your area, innovation will also be available at Spotlight and all leading newsagents.

I am aware that there are some of you that are unable to view the image we uploaded of our first issue cover.  Please bare with us - we have sent an email to blog.com requesting assistance and will hopefully have it sorted in the next couple of days.  Thanks for your understanding.

It is with great pride that we release a image of our first issue cover.  Please pop back here next week for an update on release and for a interim list of stores that will stock innovation.

As always, thanks for your support and understanding. 

innovation has a forum.  To join our on-line community simply click here and take 2 minutes to register. While there please introduce yourself and please fill in our poll. This will help shed some much needed onto the New Zealand scrapbooking industry. Chat to you there!

A very BIG thank-you to all those that submitted for our second issue.  The response was overwhelming and exceeded our expectations tenfold! We are currently going through all your submissions with a keen eye and you will be notified within a week should your submission be considered for publication.  

Okay, so according to a previous post we were meant to release our cover shot today… we apologise for this as it should have been the 25^th of March not the 25^th of February.   So, unfortunatly no image of the cover will be released today – sorry for if any dissapointment has been caused but we would like to offer you this… 
A small bite of the cover and hope that it will whet your appetite!

Just a reminder about submissions for our 2^nd and 3^rd issues.  We would love to see what you can do with all that stash you have but most of all we would love to share your talent with our readers.

Issue 2

Deadline: 27 February 2009

• Black & White with a splash of colour
• These are my true colours
• Pages using Bling/Crystals
• Cards for Mom
• Not² Pages (any shap except square)

Issue 3
Deadline: 27 March 2009

• Boys Boys Boys
• Pages using Arrows & Brackets
• Quirky things your kids do
• Quotes as a page title

Note: It is important that layouts submitted are ‘Fresh’ (not been published before whether in an online gallery, personal blog or another magazine/ezine.)  This way we will ensure that our readers are getting value for their dollar.  Layouts that have been published before will not be considered for publication in innovation.

The response to our Lucky #13 Subscription Promotion was fantastic. Thank you all for entering.  Unfortunately there can be only 5 winners - and here they are. 

All the other ladies (and gentleman) that entered will be automatically entered into our subscription draw that will take place on the 27^th of March.  Good Luck!
