Happy Birthday Scrap Around the World ****May Mood Board**** + May challenge at Once Upon A Sketch + Lindy's Stamp Gang May Mood Board!!!

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all doing well did you see the "Epic Event" challenge at Scrap Around the World No? please do enter there are amazing prizes to be won.

This time the mood board was designed by my amazingly talented friend Helen Tilbury.

As I'm a DT member I made two layouts for this event one with the reveal and my second layout to play along with the event because I was in the "Wall off Fame"once I ended 8th place. 

I really enjoyed working with this gorgeous mood board it gave me a hugh grin on my face take a look.

I based my layout on the May Challenge at Once Upon A Sketch designed by the wonderful Nadia Cannizzo who is so uber talented!

This is my take:

Blogger is acting up again it slightly changed color just now well okay need to live with it!  

This is a picture of my sweet little niece "Roosje" she just turned 3 last April and she is the baby in our family she is becoming such a little lady! 

She adores her big cousin Kevin they are best buds.  

I used a ton of Lindy's Stamp Gang spray's and Embossing powders and off course some gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard elements.

Some close up's: 

The gorgeous mood board at Lindy's Stamp Gang: 

My pink color became more red well at least I thought I had pink lol....Those bikes are the cutest ever don't you think??

I sure hope you all like my take....have a wonderful week!

Hi everybody 

***FOR MY GIVE AWAY PRESS THIS LINK***

Hello & Welcome to another awesome month at Scrap Around The World!

Can you believe we have already hosted ONE YEAR's worth of challenges?

Definitely something worth CELEBRATING don'tchya think!

It's been quite a ride & not without it's hitches & glitches but we are doing our best

 to hang in here for the long haul!  Inspiring YOU is such a fulfilling & rewarding task

 & we have seen our entries rise not only in numbers but also in standard, which

 means success in our eyes!  Our vision is not only to provide fun challenges but
also great incentives for you to improve your work by learning new skills & offering
so many exposure opportunities.

Without our community - ie YOU & your friends!  we wouldn't be doing what we do

 here & having so much darn fun doing it - so THANK YOU!  Please keep supporting

 & encouraging us & LET US KNOW if we make a mistake or do something wrong
in your opinion - as long as you are nice about it we don't mind!  We are learning &
growing as we go along & every month offers up something new for us too!!

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

OVER $ 1 000 WORTH OF PRIZES TO BE WON THIS MONTH
 BUT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW OUR SPECIAL 

EPIC COMPETITION RULES 

SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

This month things are going to work a little differently BECAUSE it's competition time! 
 Yes I know that EVERY month we host a challenge here but this month it is EPIC!!

We are looking for our 2014 EPIC WINNERS - ie the TOP TEN PLAYERS for our

first year (May 2013 - April 2014) SO we will be choosing 10 WINNERS as per usual
(plus ONE RANDOM WINNER as always!) BUT here is the difference...

VERY IMPORTANT!  PLEASE READ BEFORE ENTERING!!

1.  We have TEN HUGE prizes (each valued at approximately $100 US!!) 

for TEN WINNERS!  We will not be grading your entries from 1 to 10 this month.

Rather, we have invited TEN GUEST JUDGES to each select one winner,

based on the entry that they find the most suitable, relevant & appealing.

They will be sending their selected winner's name to me, along with a few

 sentences explaining what they really loved about their winning entry.

2.  9 out of 10 of our prizes will be awarded to PAST WOFFERS!  

Woffers are Winners, Features & Finalists, in other words our

 TOP TEN ENTRIES  from the last 12 months!!  This is so that

we are able to determine who are true TOP 10 PLAYERS
 for our First Year are!! So this is like THE FINALS!!

3.  ONE prize will be open to a NEW winner - someone NEVER

featured on our Wall of Fame {WOF} in the past - so there is still

incentive for EVERYONE to enter as one prize is open to anyone

who wins on MERIT & one prize (of $50 value) is open to one

random winner.{as usual but this month even the random
prize is a big one - woot!!}

****************************************

4.  For your entry to be eligible you need to write 

WOF or NEW after your name WHEN YOU LINK UP - ie:-

*****************************************

YOU NEED TO ADD "WOF" OR "NEW" AFTER
 YOUR NAME ON THE LINKY THIS MONTH!!

(if you've been featured at SATW before & forget
to write WOF, or don't state WOF or NEW you will
automatically be put into the NEW category, for 
which there is only one prize, as opposed to nine!

Instead of writing - Julia Roberts - USA

you should now write - Julia Roberts - USA - WOF

 (if you have been a winner, feature or finalist before 

& have therefore featured in our Wall of Fame in the past)

OR - if you have never been a winner, feature or finalist before,

you need to write - Julia Roberts - USA - NEW {for example!}

Got it?!  If you forget & cannot delete your entry then please

load it again.  Only entries with WOF or NEW after the name

& country will be eligible for any prizes - THANK YOU!!

I am your challenge host this month!  Mood board compiled by moi :)

Challenge THIRTEEN hosted by Helen Tilbury, South Africa.

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

To be eligible for judging:-

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

1)  Sharing the mood board image.

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