We've had birds (especially owls!), butterflies, bugs and even robots, but it looks like there's a new creature coming soon to your scrapbook pages... sock monkeys!

The new 'Bambino' range from Daisy Ds includes some very sweet monkeys:

Sock monkey Grand Adhesions stickers from K&Co's new 'Berry Sweet' collection.

What do you think? I like them, but I'm not sure I'd scrap with them.

We love to hear about you and your scrapping (yep, we're a bit nosy like that!). You may have noticed our new 'Scrapping in numbers' section on the letters page - we also have a little online poll where you can vote to tell us how you like to scrap. This month's question: How many photos do you like to use on your scrapbook layouts? You can answer below (scroll down the page and look on the right-hand side) - or comment here if you don't fit in with one of our choices!

I tend to go for one photo, only occasionally adding extra detail with two or three smaller snaps. What about you?

Good morning, good morning!

We're feeling perky today - news of the latest CHA launches are coming thick and fast, from Making Memories' new Slice die-cutting machine to the delicious new Details from American Crafts:

Love these new rub-ons from Hambly Screen Prints:

Rocking new goodies from Bam Pop, including school-themed papers:

A big hello to anyone who's ended up here via Seaside FM! I was interviewed about scrapbooking by the lovely Katie last Friday. It's always great to meet a new convert to scrapping and I'm thrilled that Katie wanted to help spread the word!

PS: High-fives to Bowie over at Print and Pattern for the blog love!

Herma are famous in the scrapbooking world for their transfer adhesive, but did you know that they do other products that are great for scrapbooking? Herma also comes as a glue stick, which is perfect for fitting into a tiny space in a tightly packed crop tote. It's also very handy for children to use for those projects that they insist on doing alongside you! And for when you do make a sticky mistake, they also have an adhesive remover for taking off that misplaced sticker or glue dot. How did we ever live without them?
For further details on Herma and stockists, visit the Fotospeed website at Fotospeed.com

On page 76 of our March issue (37) we listed Happy Scrapper as a stockist of K&Co and We R Memory Keepers' patterned papers. The correct stockist for both of these is actually Craft Superstore. You can contact them on 0870 0842225 or visit their website. Sorry for any confusion caused!

Stitch & Craft 2008
We're really looking forward to our upcoming Stitch & Craft Show at Olympia, London. It's from 27th to the 30th March and all of our fellow crafty mags will be there. To help you get the most out of your visit we've divided the show up into different days – scrapbooking, papercrafting, stitching and knitting. The scrapbooking day is Sunday 30th March, so come along then if you can and papercrafting is on the Thursday 27th March. Don't worry if you can't make either of those days, there's still plenty to do on the other days.

To ensure your place, call the ticket hotline on 01473 320407 or book online at www.twistedthread.com (simply click on Stitch and Craft 2008). It's at Olympia 2 from 27th-30th March at 10am-5.30pm (closes 5pm Sunday). Check back here soon for our competition to win tickets!
