May 2015 Epic Event Winners, Finalists & Honourable Mentions
PLUS an Important Commenting Update!






Hello everyone!  How exciting that we closed on 171 entries last month!!
As you can imagine the judging was rather difficult LOL!  Before I announce
 the winners please read on for some important insights into our commenting
 process as we will be making one important change moving forward.

We will not be able to guarantee commenting on entries received in the last
 48 - 72 hours so if you love our comments, please upload by midnight 
EST on the 28th to guarantee some!   Except in February of course ♥

We work on a weekly comment schedule that ends on the 7th, the 14th, the 21st 
& the 28th of each month & it becomes really difficult for us when we get flooded 
with dozens of entries at the last minute. You are still most welcome to upload
 in the last 48 - 72 hours & will still be considered for judging, but by the
 time you upload we will have moved on from our comment schedule to
 our judging schedule & begun our process of elimination to come up with
 our Top 20 winners so it's highly unlikely that we'll be able to comment
 on the entries that come in at the last minute as we get hectically busy!
Please remember to check that you are an 
OFFICIAL GOOGLE FRIEND CONNECT FOLLOWER of the 
Scrap Around The World blog by clicking into the gadget you see above
 {in our left-hand side-bar} & seeing if you have already registered or not.  

You need to be a follower in order to be eligible for any of our prizes.

  
HELLO everyone! Rachael Funnell with you today to bring
 you our Winners,Finalists, Features & Honourable Mentions! 

We had such an AMAZING response to our Annual EPIC Event, 
with a whooping 171 entries for our May Moodboard challenge
& would like to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU to each 
& everyone of you that entered!  As Helen has already said,
judging was SO DIFFICULT & the standard was SO HIGH
that these ladies featured should be really proud, & we encourage
those of you that did not feature on our Wall of Fame or as our 
Honourable Mentions to please keep submitting your beautiful work!! 

Just a REMINDER of our gorgeous May MOOD BOARD which was designed
 by the owner of this brilliant challenge blog site...... the 1 & only Helen Tilbury.


 NOW! onto the winners!
