The JULY NEWSLETTER has been released. Read it here!

As a reminder, the RAKScraps July Free Mega Kit will ONLY be available from the RAKCenter later this month. You must register with the RAKCenter in order to get the kit. So, if you haven’t registered yet, go ahead and do so!

Have an idea for a challenge at RAKScraps? Like interacting with people [or working on your extrovert skills?]? Do you already participate in the RAKScraps challenges and want to encourage others? Do you want to help RAKScraps become a better, healthier, greener, and lower carbon footprint place? [okay, I made up that last one!] If so - then consider joining RAKScrap’s Creative Team. There are perks [super secret but really cool perks!] to being on the CT - so why not join up? Check the newsletter for how.

Check out the MANY challenges we’re hosting this month - including the Mega Challenge, Spotlight Challenge, Posting Challenge, and Ad Challenge. To get out of a “scrapping slump” these challenges will get those creative juices flowing! [Don’t forget the Impromptu Challenges - you never know when one’s going to appear!]

We’ve got some great sponsors this month: K-Joi Studios and Di Hickman Designs [Don’t forget to check the Newsletter for their free newsletter kits; they are great!.]

We’ve also got a great tutorial - Photoshop Elements 7 - Selection Tools, Part 1 by Melinda Staley. If those selection tools have you ranting and raving at the computer [okay, I rant, rave, and kvetch - I’m sure you just sigh and roll your eyes], then read this tutorial about making those tools work for you!

We’ve got a new RAKFile challenge - One Designer Layouts. This challenge was inspired by a designer wanting to “break into the business” but never seeing any of her layouts. Designers create so many wonderful things and deserve our appreciation. So, this challenge is to create a LO using just one designer’s items, posting the LO, and then emailing the designer and letting them know you used their works of art in a LO at RAKScraps. [I did this as an impromptu challenge a few years ago and one person became a CT member for a designer, another helped a designer get “picked up” by a store, and another designer’s day was made by the email notification - spreading good karma out there!]

Our Spotlight Interviews focus on AngelaUK and lyjferguson. Read about them and don’t forget about Shannon’s “Scrapper’s Highlight Challenge.”
