Important Note: Members' Point Redemption

Hello all Papier members,

Due to a system upgrade in the last quarter of 2011, we have been unable to process the membership point redemptions.  However, thankfully that has been sorted out (phew!) and we thank you for your patience.

We are starting to make calls to you regards your Membership Point Redemptions.  As always, we do not issue physical vouchers anymore (hope to do our part for the trees), and therefore appreciate if you could check your point balances when you next visit the store.  The points can be redeemed on the spot, over the counter upon your next purchase. 

Point redemption is as follows:  
RM10 redemption value for every 1000 points.  The minimum redemption is RM10. 

Redemption period is 1 May, 2012- 31 May 2012. T&C applies. 

Any balance points not redeemed will be brought forward to the following year and remain valid with a valid membership. 

We will try our best to call everyone, however, if and should we not reach you, please accept our apologies in advance and please do call us to enquire about your current point balance if you do not hear from us by end of April.  Kindly also update your contact information with us, to enable future communications regards in-store promotions. 

Note: PCM memberships now carry a 2 year validity.  For point redemption of fees, a total of 300 points will be deducted for a 2-yr membership.  Otherwise, a fee of RM25 will apply.  New membership cards will be issued shortly and until then, your existing membership card still applies.  We urge that you present your membership cards prior to every purchase transaction to avoid any inconvenience and to enjoy all membership discounts & privileges. 

Thank you & Happy crafting as always!

HAPPY TWO ZERO ONE TWO!

                                                                   2012
Happy Happy New Year to all!

Its 2012!!! This year I decided to stay away from resolutions as somehow they never work for me, or they always end up forgotten (err, for me anyway), so instead I tell myself I will set goals, simple, easy to achieve goals, and take baby steps each day to achieve these.  It could be daily goals, weekly goals, or monthly goals etc and then I can look back by end of 2012 and happily say that I HAVE done it!! 

Well, here's my first goal for 2012, more crafting!!  Haha! Really!  I absolutely would love to be able to have more pages added to my scrapbook albums and OTP collections.  So for a start, I will get organised, plan and then ACTION!  So, hopefully in the coming months, I will also be able to post more of my creations, and join in the crowdlar...

At Papier, we would like to welcome our new DT team, with Liza, Syafinaz & Aznida to be led by our RD, Amelia (AK).  With some fresh new faces, & fresh new ideas, we're hoping it will keep you inspired.  We also have many exciting events lined up for 2012, whether on the blog, in the classrooms or in our studios, so do stay tuned and keep abreast with our postings. 

And to all of you out there, I'm wishing you all the very BEST of health, wealth, joy AND

                     Keep the mojos high & inspirations alive!

                                          Here's to another creative & happy year... TWO ZERO ONE TWO

Create, Enjoy & Be Free

HR Announcement

Hello all,

This week is Wah's final week with Papier.  Shoot Wah or Wah as you are familiar with has been with us for the last 2 years and you have seen and enjoyed her many artistic talents from in-store displays to the beautifully wrapped RAKs, prizes including handmade cards & OTP projects she has made for us.  However, due to family commitments, Wah will be returning to a regular hour career that enables her to spend more time with her beloved son & family.

Studio Inspiration - by Moon Sia

Hello all,

I was tidying my work space and through my craft supplies and it dawned on me that its really important to have an organized space for the supplies.  Not just any space, but a really organised space be it huge or small.  

Here's a wonderfully organised studio, which I'd love to share with you.  I'm truly envious of the space & the storage possibilities.  I would definitely love to craft in a room like that!! 

 Photo courtesy of Moon Sia.  Thank you for sharing this studio inspiration. 

To our readers, we would definitely love to hear from you, whether you have a comment, project or studio inspirations such as this.  Please send your comments or email us at [email protected] or [email protected]. 

Be inspired

Macy =)

20 Ideas to 2012!

Hi all,

I'm so excited to share this news! For the next 9 weeks, we will be featuring 20 project ideas from various Guest Artists to celebrate the upcoming festivities and to welcome the year 2012!

The features are randomly planned and in no particular preference or order, however we have requested for each Guest Artist to showcase their current favorites. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you whom have so kindly accepted my invitation to post your creations on our blog and to share with our readers, your personal inspirations and ideas to end the year with a creative splendor. The same goes to our all our Guest Artists whom have been featured in our blog.

I would like to say a big big 'Thank You' to our DT's, Amelia, Rosa, Sharm, & Liza, for all their hardwork & beautiful contributions and for enlivening our blog with their wonderful projects & posts. Not forgetting their support of all Papier events whether in-store or on the blog- without them which would not have been possible.

Last but not least, a huge 'Thank You' to all our readers and blog followers for their support and continuous support, comments & participation in our blog contests, posts and etc. We have much more planned for the year 2012, whether in-store or on the blog, and look forward to seeing more familiar faces & blog entries in 2012!

As a token of appreciation, I would like to be the first to start this chain of posts, "20 Ideas to 2012!", therefore, following this post will be one of my most recent projects. I hope it will inspire you a little if not more, to create something fun & perhaps special for your loved ones this coming festive season!

Hurrah! I actually managed to create a little something in-between my round the clock feeding & mothering duties. I'm so happy! :o)

Life is an inspiration on its own
Live life, be inspired!

Happy November & RD Appointment

Hello again,

Here's Hello to November!  Oh boy! Oh boy!  Its already the end of 2011.  I have an exciting news to share, that is we have appointed Amelia Khalik, popularly known as AK, as our Resident Designer as of today! 

I'm doing the cartwheels right now as we have lots planned ahead and much to be discussed about forward workshops & classes, in-store events including plans to recruit more DTs.  Yes!! We're also needing more DTs and instructors but more will be revealed as AK will be posting regards to workshops & studio related matters in the coming months. 

For those of us who know and love Amelia already, let's welcome her on board the Papier team officially.  Amelia has been our DT since 2010, and has created many popular classes in particular her mini album workshops, not forgetting her weekly DT posts on this blog.  She is a super-efficient scrapper with many wonderful ideas & almost always inspired (to me anyway) anytime & anywhere.  Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we welcome Amelia to our team. 

Meanwhile, we look forward to a great team with AK on board and aspire to bring you more fun & exciting workshops & in-store events in the coming months!

                                                       Design in style, but just make it yours!

Hello June!

Hello crafters,

Wow, time reaalllly flies. Its nearly June and its been a wonderful half year, for my part at least to have been able to work with some of the really talented crafters alongside with special you, who have been part of our in-store events, spring markets, workshops and classes. For the next half of 2011, we're looking forward to more creative flair from our contributors as well as in-store inspirations, classes and events including some exclusive workshops with our Guest Design Artists in the later part of the year. Oh! Not forgetting more newbies and exciting new goodies to continue arriving in-store monthly.

A special thank you to Rosa for her past contributions and her many inspirations which kept us on our creative tip toes. Due to personal reasons, Rosa will be taking a short break from her DT post so we're looking forward to her return when things are more settled for her. Meanwhile, keep up the great work and keep your creations soaring, Rosa!

At the same time, thank you to all for your well wishes as many of you know that I will be taking a maternity break from tomorrow, but stay tuned, as I will still be updating the blog with new goodies and our DTs as well as monthly Guest Artists will also continue to create & update.

Check out June for our special Guest Artist to be posted on the 1st, 3rd & last week of June. Another super-crafter who managed to create 3 projects for the month of June and who is so happy and excited to share with us, her creative mojo for the month of June.

So stay tuned and stay creative!

Happy crafting!
