Welcome back scrapping friends!
It's September which means a brand new challenge at Scrap Around the World!
We really hope you'll join us his month! Things were a little slow this month,
but that is to be expected, what with the sun shining in the Northern Hemisphere,
many of you were out & about vacationing around the world!! As I write this, with less than 12 hours to go until closing time now, we are sitting on 115 entries!! Woot Woot!! Not bad for one of the quietest months of the year online.
A quick note about COMMENTING!
While of course we LOVE seeing all your entries rolling in & realise how very
While of course we LOVE seeing all your entries rolling in & realise how very
important it is to provide support & encouragement to all our players, we have
decided recently not to comment in the last 48 hours or on any entries over
120 {whichever comes first} BECAUSE by that stage we are busy studying
your amazing works & working out our favourites, all ready for voting!!
So please understand & forgive us ♥
If comments are really important to you, please
remember to get your entry in early enough :)
Now let's talk about this BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL BOARD!!
Only the French have the natural great style to create
something so gorgeously understated!
This mood board is resolutely old-fashioned, evoking childhood memories of much
loved & well read novels, faded pages, dusty books, ink spots & school stationery
boxes. Along with old wood & weathered & worn pastel colours, this board invites
you to take a step back in time, be nostalgic, write love letters, share your favourite
lyrics, show off your calligraphy skills or enjoy a little doodle!! Think neutral colours,
soft pinks, blues & browns, simple lines, clean shapes, all with a touch of the
shabby, distressed look too of course! Do with it what you will!! Just remember
to tell us how you were inspired! {unless it is very obvious of course!}
Here is Lydie Denis, aka Lilibleu, the
designer of this
month's mood board, to tell us a little about herself...
"Hello
everybody! My name is Lydie Denis, aka Lilibleu. I’m 43, married
& a mother of 2 boys, aged 8 & 6. I live in the South of
France, in a lovely,
sunny region I love, named Provence. Together with my husband,
we run our own e-shop, called Ysandel, selling fantasy jewellery.
I discovered scrapbooking during early 2009, after my second son was
born. Now it's a real part of my everyday life! My kids, daily life & the
beauty of nature are the main sources of my inspiration. I love to give
volume & interest to my creations using inks, modelling pastes & flowers.
You can take a tour into my colourful world through my blog

"Hello everyone!
My name is Tatiana Yemelyanenko & I'm from Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine.
I fell in love with scrapbooking & mixed media near the end of 2011. I love that
scrapbooking helps me to capture life's moments & allows such creativity into
my ordinary days. I like to experiment with different styles & techniques. My
favourite products are chipboard, mists, paints, texture pastes & stencils.
My style is feminine light mixed media. I'm so happy to join the
wonderful team here at Scrap Around The World!!
