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
& 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.
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 would love for you to visit!"
