June 2015 Winners, Features & Honourable Mentions
Plus a Rule Change & Some Great Advice!!






Hi everyone!  HELEN here popping in before handing over to Rachael to announce
our winners!  I just wanted to say WAY TO GO PEOPLE!!!  We closed on 113
entries & SO MANY of them were simply FABULOUS!!  We can only choose
10 winners & 10 Honourable Mentions as you know, but please, if you aren't
in those, don't despair!  You may very well have come a close 2nd because 
we had to slash our list in half there were so many great entries!!!

We have listed a new rule!
From now on we will not be accepting entries with anything blanked out in the 
photo so please choose photos you are happy to share online.  This is a public 
competition after all & we can't showcase those types of photos on our 
Wall of Fame no matter how brilliant your creation, so best to tell you 
so you can select photos you are happy to share publicly in future.

And lastly I have written a couple of posts on 
HOW TO WIN CHALLENGES & GET ONTO DESIGN TEAMS
  which you can find on my personal blog HERE & HERE.
Do pop in if the subject interests you & I hope you find 
them useful & interesting :)  Okay over to Rach!

Introducing 8 new ambassadors at Scrap Around The World!
And Reminding You Who our Stalwarts Are!!





Hello everyone!  A LONG time ago we had a Design Team call!! 
 FINALLY we can introduce to you today our new 8 designers.  

SATW has 24 Designers in total & starting this term we actually have 
25 designers because our Designer, Marianne Johansson {Norway} will 
also be staying on as our "Wild Card" which means that she will step in
 to help out when necessary, when our designers are in hospital, have
 serious crises to deal with or go on their leave, so we can keep things
 running as smoothly as possible here for you & maintain our consistency.  

Our returning 16 designers are all part of the furniture at Scrap Around The World
 & special in their own ways.  Each one of them contributes something 
unique & necessary from serious talent to serious commitment.  
We have it all going on here thanks to these lovely ladies!! 
 A reminder of who we all are...

Our Facebook page is BOOMING! but sadly Facebook have changed their policies
 again & posts shared to our page by our players no longer appear in the feeds
 of all our LIKERS. This is  very sad but there is nothing we can do about it except
 regularly remind you all to please CLICK IN to our actual page (rather than waiting
 for it to appear in your news feed as POSTS BY OTHERS will NOT APPEAR - 
even if you have signed up to receive notifications.   The ONLY way you will see
 posts by others is to type our name into the search  bar of Facebook & actually
 visit our page occasionally.  SUCH A PAIN but it is what it is :/

Hi everybody! My name is Anna Wiśniewska AKA Wiosanka. I live in Poland, very near to The Baltic Sea. I felt in love with scrapbooking over 5 years ago & it is still my big passion. I especially love creating layouts - that big form gives me the space to express my feelings & memories. My projects are always bright, colourful, full of emotions, different media & messy paint splashes :-) I am very, very happy to join this fabulous team at SATW!

Hello everyone. My name is Galina Filippenko & my nickname is Galachko.
 I live in Kiyv, the capital of Ukraine. I'm in love with my city & it's history. I started scrapbooking about 2 years ago. My favourite style is nautical as I love the sea!  My style is experimental but  most of all I like mixed-media as well as clean & simple (CAS).  I am crazy about STAMPING!!   I love the smell of new paper & am a self-confessed paper hoarder. I’m so happy to be a part of this fabulous team at SATW!



Hi! My name is Karine Gagnon. {aka mes10doigts}. I’m 35 years old 
& a french teacher in high school in Quebec city. I’ve been with my partner 
for 19 years & have 2 wonderful children who are the stars of my layouts! 
I discovered scrapbooking about ten years ago when my boyfriend 
came home with a magazine, telling me that he thought of me when
 he saw it. If only he’d knew the monster he would create! I've been
 passionate about this wonderful hobby ever since!!  My style is pretty 
versatile but I tend to go for a shabby chic layout (I just can’t resist flowers!) 
with a mixed media background. Since I discovered mixed media  I just 
can’t do a page without adding some!  Playing with all those mediums is
 my favourite part of the scrapbooking process. I’m so happy to be a part 
of this adventure & I hope that my passion for this art will always show!

Hello everyone! My name is Marina Syskova & I from a small town in Russia, called Penza. I'm 27& I have 2 jobs - I am an oncologist as well as a teacher 
at the Penza Medical Institute. I love what I do & both of my jobs!!  I discovered scrapbooking just over 2 years ago & have been at peace ever since, thanks to paper, paints, sprays еtс!  My favourite style is mixed-media of course, because
 I can express myself completely & feel the freedom of creativity at it's fullest!  
 It's an incredible feeling to hold in your hands something of beauty that you have made yourself!  More recently I have been studying  blog design & redesigning
 my blog.  I am  really happy to be part of such a talented team.  Thank you Helen!



 Hi all :) I am Marta, my nickname is JaMajka & I am from Poland. 
I love scrapbooking & art journaling & have had my blog for 5 years now.
I love trying new techniques but I do it in my own way!  I love mixed media
as well as colourful sprays, masks & stamps!!  My work is full of emotions/
ideas/thoughts & is an extension of my internal mindset - sometimes peaceful
& romantic & at other times crazy & messy!  I am very happy to be a part of
this amazing team at Scrap Around The World!!  Thank you Helen!!!



Hello everyone!  My name is Priscilla Lim & I am from the sunny island of 
Singapore.  I'm a full time working mum who started scrapping back in
 2007, when my little prince was born. That is the reason why I named 
most of my social sites "Growing with Gabriel" :-D I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING!!!
Playing with pretty things & mediums is my NO. 1 passion :) As the years
 havepassed, scrapbooking, for me, has come a long way from just some 
simple fun to something competely therapeutic & addictive!  Why? 
Because not scrapping for some time will make me grouchy!! LOL.
 I'm thankful &really excited to be part of this great team. Woo hoo!!



Hello Everyone!  My name is Yasmin Tölche & I am a 35 year old Norwegian girl, mom to 3 awesome boys, Felix, Collin & Finnley, & wife to Kristian. Together we live in a small mountain village in Kyrksæterøra, Norway with our Rottweiler, Penny. All of the above are victims of my scrapbook obsession!  I am a fun girl with a good sense of humour, who loves to create! I started scrapbooking in August 2005 when I came across it by accident at a friend’s house. I had always loved to cut & paste pictures in albums & do some type of low-key scrapbooking but in 2005 I jumped in feet first! I love paints, mists & getting messy as well as soft,  vintage, romantic pages.  I LOVE LOTS OF LAYERS!!   I'm sooo excited to join the team at Scrap Around The World !!!
