NOVEMBER KITS ARE IN!!!!

When we first began, in order to test the market we offered a variety of LIMITED edition kits. Which meant we had around four different kits to offer each month, usually 5 sets per theme. With such a great feedback, we eventually decided to go full blast and offer IDENTICAL kits every month, beginning this NOVEMBER 2007.

The wait is FINALLY over
! Our FIRST BATCH of OFFICIAL Studio Azul Kits are here !!!!

Beginning November 2007, Studio Azul will be releasing only ONE KIT every month. But that doesn't mean it's any less, actually it's more! more! more! Studio Azul customers can expect a
NEW THEME every month, NEW PAPERS, NEW EMBELLYS and the best part, NEW STAMPS in your kits!

And here's another SWEET DEAL,
we also included ADD-ON KITS for more options . . .


What are ADD-ONS?

These are ADDITIONAL SETS of either cardstock, projects, alterables or another set of kits that COORDINATE with the MAIN kit. These are not included in the monthly membership fee, and prices are the same for members and non-members alike; and just like the main kit, STOCKS ARE LIMITED. We will however, indicate if items have been sold out and how many are still in stock.

Enough talk (in this case, text hehe) on to the YUUUUMMMMMY stuff !!!!

AN ODE TO THE SCRAPPING QUEEN BEE

Please welcome our GDT for October, albeit a bit delayed :-) please give a round of applause to the Scrapping Queen Bee, the Massacre Queen herself, etc. etc.

JOANNE YAP
*insert applause here*
(Joanne, reyna ka talaga ng lahat ano? hehe and yes, we matched the font color to your outfit :-)

***Photo courtesy of the very talented Jeff Lopez, significant other to the equally talented Pia Lopez. (malipit na pasko eh heehee). You can check out their site here.


Joanne, dare we say how much we miss you! And this is a great way to say hello across the seas and over the information gateway.

Using the OH, HAPPY DAY Kit, Joanne has weaved her magic wand (or is it the magic X-acto knife?) and created two fabulous LO's: MIDDLE CHILD and TAKE THE PLUNGE.

FYI, see those little windows on the buildings of the TAKE THE PLUNGE LO? Yes, she cut them. Why we never thought of doing that we'll never know . . . leave it to Joanne to always surprise us :-)


The Oh, Happy Day Kit was primarily made of Bampop Papers and according to Joanne was not quite her usual style. But nonetheless Joanne thrives in new things, whether it's a technique, a totally different style of papers to a new adventure altogether. After all, she IS the Queen :-)

FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS

Have you ever wished you spent less time matching scrapbook supplies and more time scrapping?

Are you a newbie scrapper, wanting to transition into scrapbooking easily?

Or are you an experienced scrapper looking for new challenges and techniques?

Kit Clubs is definitely the way to do. With the growing demand for kit clubs abroad, more and more Filipina scrappers have been subscribing to kit clubs often based in the United States. With the cost of shipping and cost of kits themselves which are at the mercy of the US$ dollar exchange rate, sometimes it make you think twice if it's worth it.

We've been kit club subscribers )albeit kit addicts!) ourselves and have always wanted good quality and affordable kits locally. Seeing the opportunity to serve both newbies, veteran scrappers, budgeted or sky's the limit scrappers gave birth to STUDIO AZUL, the Philippines first kit club!!

What exactly IS a kit club?
Pretty much a KIT CLUB is a monthly membership, where you receive a PRE-coordinated kit complete with papers and embellishments within a given time period. More often a kit includes papers, embellishments and other supplies that can help you create completed scrapbook layouts.

What do I benefit from being a Studio Azul Kit Club member?
Studio Azul is a MID-monthly kit club, so every 3rd WEEK of the month, you will get the following items:
- our monthly kits are ONLY php950.00 per month for a 3-month subscription
-you can make at LEAST 4 layouts per kit, more if you're in the mood :-)
- at least 7-8 pieces of imported and signature/branded scrapbook papers. And we make sure we give you at least 2 manufacturers for variety.
- coordinating embellishments (embellishments may vary from chipboard, stickers, buttons, ribbons, brads, flowers, etc.)
- a monthly stamp exclusive to Studio Azul
- events, new techniques and challenges to get your mojo going

I'm a newbie scrapper, won't I have a difficult time using the kits?
As much as all the kits come pre-coordinated, we still think of its usability. We do our best to make sure its friendly both to newbie and experienced scrappers alike; The papers down to the embellishments match, whether by style, theme or color. Pre-coordinated kits also takes out the guess work of spending too much time deciding what matches with what. Once your kits arrive, you just have to sit down and start scrapping. Ofcourse, we made sure that we still leave a lot of room for you to explore your creativity.

If i'm an experienced scrapper, will I still be challenged?
As an experienced scrapper, oftentimes you look towards growing with your craft. Sometimes we unconsciously stick to our usual styles, even though we would like to explore other techniques such as distressed, shabby chic, graphic, boheme, etc. Kits come pre-coordinated, but the way you use all the supplies is up to you. This forms a new challenge since you will be working with different styles and themes every month. If you always leaned towards flowery and very feminine layouts, your kits will definitely vary from flowery to shabby to even funky! Kits are a great way to stretch your creativity.

Why should I buy STUDIO AZUL kits when I can buy kits abroad?
Two words, shipping and cost.
Kits in the US are usually around $30 a month, with shipping starting from $20. Roughly, you'll be spending around $50 a month or over php2,000 a month! Our kits are php950.00 and we will always keep it at php950 for members.

Can I just buy ONE kit?
Sure! From September to the end of October, all kits are php950. Beginning with the November 2007 kits, 3-month memberships are STILL php950 but one-time purchase kits will be php1,000.

What are ADD-ONS?
These are ADDITIONAL SETS of either cardstock,projects or another set of kits that COORDINATE with the MAIN KIT. There are NOT included in the monthly membership fee, and the prices are the same for members and non-mebers alike. But just like the main kit, STOCKS ARE LIMITED. We will however, indicate if items have been sold out and how many are in stock. Add-Ons are not a regular monthly offering, it will depend on the supplies available.

Can I skip a month?

Unfortunately, the essence of a kit club is to commit to your subscription date so whatever kit is available that's what you will receive. You can opt for a one time purchase as long as there are still kits available.

Can I receive emails of the kits before they are issued?
One of the fun things with a kit club is the anticipation, so it would defeat the purpose if we emailed photos of the kits to a select few. We post SNEAK PEEKS when we can of the upcoming kit and post the kit as a whole every 15th of the month.

What's a Sneak Peak?
It's a teaser of our upcoming kits, it isn't exactly what you're getting, it's just to give you an idea of the colors and theme without giving too much away. . . after all, part of being in a kit club is the anticipation!

How do I apply for a membership?
Please be advised that in order to reserve a kit you MUST do the following:
1. Send us an email at studio_azul@yahoo.com with the heading "KIT RESERVATION"
2. Indicate in your email whether you would like a single kit purchase or a 3-month kit subscription.
3. We will then respond to your email to confirm.

We hope you understand that we can NOT accept reservations through any other means of communications. We are doing so that we can properly tally the subscriptions and purchases to avoid any confusion or double reservations.

In case we have run out of kits or that membership is full we will inform you immediately and place your name in an active list in case a slot or kit becomes available.

How do I pay for my kits?
You can pay for your kits through the following options:
Option 1: Pay for your kits in cash, to be deposited in our Studio Azul BPI account
Option 2: Issue post-dated checks (ONLY for 3-month subscriptions), all checks to be post dated every 1st of the month

PAYMENT INFORMATION:

BPI Checking Account, Forbes Park Branch
Account No. 0295-2868-49

Please address checks payable to:

KRISTINE C. YAO OR

When is the release dates for Studio Azul kits?
Because we want to provide you with timely and up to date products, due to our incoming supplies from abroad we will be releasing your kits every 3RD WEEK of the month.

Sneak Peaks : every 15th of the month
Kits will be out by the 3rd week thereafter

How will I receive my kits?
Your kits will be shipped every 3rd week of the month. We will email you of the shipping rates PRIOR to sending it out, we will only do so with your APPROVAL. On the other hand, we can also arrange for pick-up of the kits in the Fort Bonifacio area OR you can also opt to pick up your kits if there is an upcoming EB. Again, we will confirm shipping and/or pick up via email.

STUDIO AZUL'S First BLUE Lady!!!


We want to thank all of you who gave us a chance and submitted entries to our DT call. We received an amazing response and even more amazing entries. We had a difficult time deciding on one person, how we wished we could have picked all of you! The amount of talent we saw was out of this world! Again, a heartfelt THANK YOU for participating!

Coming up with a decision was not easy, however we finally came up with a choice! We contacted this amazing lady and we are beyond thrilled that she accepted to be a part of Studio Azul. This amazing lady has been wowing us with her creations for a long time and we feel it’s about time she was recognized. She proved it in the Scrappin Moms Idol Contest and now she gets to show off her talent with us.

… And announcing Studio Azul’s Blue Lady!

Without further ado, please join us in welcoming Studio Azul’s 1st ever Blue Lady,

Some facts about AU:

I am a mother to 5, who loves crafting from cross-stitching to crocheting, quilting, model making, beading even witch crafting (hahaha!). I tried them all but was hooked the worst to scrapbooking. I started this in 2001 but mostly dug my heels into the hobby in 2005 only after finding a thriving community and endless supply of scrap stuff locally. I would have to say my style is eclectic, or in short halo-halo!


And a sample of one of the works that WOWed us:
Like Mother, Like Daughter by Au Lim



Watch out as our resident DT create her
scrapping magic with Studio Azul !!!
Congratulations and Welcome to the team, AU !!!
