We are a group of 14 women from all around the globe, of different ages, cultures & circumstances, united by our love of scrapbooking! It is a universal language that we all understand!!
That's why Helen chose the name 'Scrap Around the World', because, literally, that is what we are all doing. Let me introducte the DT;
Eila Sandberg - me!
May 2013 Challenge 1
Each month we will present you with a mood board & a sketch,
together with a mood board/sketch combo image for you to save to your
computer & upload to your blog when taking part in our challenges.
All you need to do is be inspired by the mood board (in ANY way)
& use our sketch as your starting point.
& use our sketch as your starting point.
How to use our sketches
As you would any other sketch. We would like to see that it definitely
inspired you & was your 'starting point' but you can 'make it your
own' by flipping it, turning it, inverting it & moving things about
if you like. You can also change the photo orientation and number of
photos to be as few or as many as you like.
**** the above image MUST appear on the blog post containing your challenge entry please****
You also need to mention that you are playing along with the current
challenge at Scrap Around The World & link up to it please :)
How to use our mood boards
Our mood boards are for your INSPIRATION only. You can be inspired by
one of the images, all of the images, or any number of them, or even
parts thereof. For example, on this board you may be inspired by the
colours (either all of them or just one, two or more) but you do not have to use any colours on the board if you don't want to.
Other aspects of the mood board that could inspire you are, for example, the beads, circles, fringing, cracks, texture, leather, chandeliers, turquoise, rust (colour or rusty elements) ie brass/metal. Pink, purple, oranic shapers, swirls, feathers, fluff, fibres, distressing, ombre effects, flowers, bows, lace, flower-soft & filigree work (fine cut embellishments such as laser chipboard with detailed designs).
