We would just love to know what inspired you from the mood board and the sentiment behind your project!;-)

As always we have some amazing Guest Designers to inspire you.

These amazing ladies are previous TOP HATS and create with so much passion and love.

A warm welcome to Bente Fagerberg and Erina Katerina.

Here's a little more about Bente, firstly.

Hi I'm Bente. I am a Norwegian lady living in southern Sweden and I've been scrapbooking for I guess six-seven years now. I still love it. I love that I'm preserving my three daughters memories through my pages, but that's not the whole truth about why I am doing this. I am doing it mostly for me,...because I enjoy it!

Since March I am working full time,-or more sometimes, and it can be hard to find time for scrapbooking. But even when I am not playing with paper, paint and all kinds of supplies I am definitely thinking about it! :-) I love the smell of new paper and the touch new flowers :-)

I have always been happiest doing my own brand of shabby chic, but at the moment I am very much enjoying everything mixed media. I find it's so liberating !

After I started working full time I cut back on design team work. I am currently designing for an awesome French paper company called Les Papiers de Pandore.

I have been proud to design for some great teams during the last few years including  Lemoncraft, Scraps of Elegance, Blue Fern Studios and Sizzix

I have a blog Paper and Glue Heaven and you are most welcome to visit me there.

Bente created this fabulous and beautiful page for this mood board.

The colouring, styling and gorgeous photo, make for a stunning, stunning page! ;-)

Thanks so much Bente for creating this soft and beautiful page for us.
Please pop over to Bente's blog to even more inspiration! ;-)

Secondly, here is a little more about our second Guest Designer Erina.

I'm Erina and I live in Crete island of Greece, with my beautiful family !!!

From small kid I had an artistic mood and i was practicing for many years

through painting !!! In 2011 at my trip to England I learned the magical world of

crafts !!First from the cards and later with my first lessons in scrapbooking!!

The scrapbooking enchanted me, mainly because I could keep alive my memories 

and accurate the history of every picture !!I love all the styles of scrapbooking but mostly

i make greeting cards, layouts and mini albums!! A world of fun and mostly relaxing !!!

Erina created this stunning and gorgeous page.

Isn't that background just amazing, with all the textures and elements?

Here's some close-ups.

Thanks so much Erina for this fabulous, fun and fresh project! ;-)

Challenge no.55 - July Mood Board

Hello Everyone

We have a super new challenge for you today and it's a gorgeous mood board.  We really hope that you will love it as much as we do! ;-)

You can create a card, tag, layout, an altered project, journal pages or even a digital project! You can create whatever you like! ;-)

Please remember to also tell us what inspired you from the mood board above.

We have a super duper, amazing,special Guest Designer for this challenge.

I am sure you will know her - Lisa Novogrodski! ;-)

Here's a little about Lisa.

My name is Lisa Novogrodski- I have been in the scrapbooking/ mixed media world for several years now. I started out with a simple scrapbook style that has now evolved into a mixed media grungy style alternating with shabby chic depending on my mood. I also love to draw and paint and am focusing on artistic growth in that area. I've been lucky enough to design for some amazing companies over the years. Currently I design for BoBunny and Scraps of Darkness and Scraps of Elegance where I also am the Design Team Coordinator. I have also had the honor of being published in several print magazines - Somerset Memories, Scrapbooking and Beyond and Crafts N Things. Thanks so much to Denise for inviting me to guest design this month and participate with this fabulous mood board!

Lisa created this gorgeous and stunning page.

This is a photo of one of my scrapbook friends - Jenny Dodds. I have known her a long while in the scrap world. She was a member of Scraps of Darkness from way back. I always wanted to scrap this photo for her and I used to tell her all the time. I never got to it and her husband just passed away in January. When I saw the mood board and the quote this photo immediately came to mind. That was my biggest inspiration and I wanted to incorporate the colors and rustic feel although this is a very shabby page.

The earthy colours of this page are just gorgeous and the styling so very pretty! ;-)

Thanks so much Lisa for creating this fabulous page for us! ;-)

Please pop over to Lisa's blog...you will find plenty of inspiration and looooots of beauty! ;-)
