Anguree Jansen Van Rensburg said...

Hi Helen, Congratulations on such an awesome blog. Love it. It's great to see so much talent from all over the world. I have always wanted to give the challenge a go but never seem to quite make the deadline. Now in the midst of doing my entries for the Scrapbooking Masters Comp I see a beautiful mood board for which I may have something to enter. It's a album cover that could possibly be used as an art journal but I am unsure if it fits your criteria.Can you please advise if it qualify prior to me entering something that does not suit. The link to my blog is as followshttp://anguree.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/vintage-annie-album.html

Many thanks
Anguree
