October 2015 Challenge 30 by Heather McMahon A Colourful & Happy Mood Board

Welcome back scrapping friends! It's October which means 

a brand new challenge at Scrap Around the World!! 

We really hope you'll join us this month!!!

With 7 hours left to go we are on 125 entries this month.

THANK YOU so much to everyone who supports our work here!

We are so glad to have you playing along with us & love to inspire,

see your gorgeous works & encourage & reward you.

Just a couple of points about PRIZES & COMMENTS...

Our very efficient sponsor assistant is Nicole Doiron

& she is the lady to contact in the VERY UNLIKELY EVENT

that you DO NOT receive your prize!  You can email her at

nicutopia {at} hotmail {dot} com, together with the month,

prize you won & sponsor it was from.  If she has ALL THESE

DETAILS she can liaise with the sponsor & find out where your

prize has got to BUT ONLY AFTER 6 WEEKS  as prizes do

sometimes take a while to reach international destinations.  

With regards to COMMENTS - we  changed our policy a few

 months ago & announced that we {usually} WILL NOT BE

 COMMENTING ON ENTRIES RECEIVED WITHIN THE

 LAST 48 HOURS.  This is because, by that point, we have

 moved on to begin the arduous process of reviewing

 all the entries to begin the judging process.  

The only exception to this would be in the sad event that we

 ever receive less than 120 entries.  In this case we comment

 until the very end!  Okay!!  Let's get on with the show!!!  

We begin by welcoming a very special lady to join us for

 the next 3 months {as sadly one of our designers has

 left us earlier than expected}  PLEASE WELCOME......

NUPUR PATEL of INDIA!!

 "Hi everyone!  My name is  Nupur Patel & I am 24 years old & from 

Mumbai, India. I have been scrapbooking for 4 years. I studied

 Visual Arts & Graphic Design & love to explore colour in my 

creations, & play with mixed media. I love capturing memories, 

travelling & meeting new people.  I have a blog HERE & would 

love for you to visit!  I also have a Facebook Page you are most 

welcome to join HERE.  You can follow me on Pinterest HERE

& Instagram HERE.  I am so excited to be joining the team here

at Scrap Around The World - thank you Helen for inviting me!"

Oooooh just look at this delightful mood board, designed by 

Heather McMahon, so HAPPY & COLOURFUL!  As you can see

 it's a riot of shape & colour with a Fall/Autumn/Thankful theme.  

There are SO MANY WAYS you can be inspired!  You could choose 

the beautiful theme of GRATITUDE, the watercolour look, the fancy

 fonts/calligraphy, the wonderful Fall leaf shapes, the strong colour 

combinations, the feathers, bubbles, string-work, hearts, 

stars or simply... the overall feeling of PURE JOY!!

As usual it is TOTALLY UP TO YOU!!!

Here is Heather to tell us a little about herself...

"Hi there! I'm Heather McMahon & I'm thrilled to be the mood board designer

this month. I live in Australia with my husband & 2 teenage kids.  I was 
introduced to scrapbooking 15 years ago & was immediately addicted. 

My children were young when I started, so finding scrapping time was hard,

 but now they've grown up I have much more time to explore & create!

I love to experiment with different styles & believe in versatility when creating.
I am inspired by colour & strive for my projects to reflect the mood of my
 photos. I love to connect with people online!  You can find my
 Blog here, Facebook here, Pinterest here & Instagram here. 

I would love for you to visit!"
