-------------------------------------------------

A reminder about our  DESIGN TEAM CALL - click HERE for further details.

  I am not wanting a team with dozens of people.  I know that is "de rigueur"

 at the moment but I love a manageable group of people that can get to know 

each other & feel like an integral & indispensable part of something special 

so I'm being very selective & already have my shortlist.

   Please apply SOON if you are interested as it's getting tougher by the day :)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Feel free to interpret the mood board in any way you like,

 using one image, several of them, all of them or even just

 one aspect of an image, using ANY COLOURS!  

To be eligible for judging:-

1.   You need to follow our 10 Golden Rules found HERE, which include :-

1)  Sharing the mood board image.

2)  Mentioning Scrap Around The World {in full - not just 

SATW} & LINKING BACK to the current challenge.

3)  Mentioning HOW you were inspired by our mood board.

4)  Linking back to your SATW blog post NOT YOUR ENTIRE BLOG.

If receiving comments from some of our Design Team members is important

 to you please ensure that you have WORD VERIFICATION TURNED OFF.
