Travel- Scrap Around the World January Challenge

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Welcome back to Scrap Around The World Challenge NINE

 hosted by Design Team member Kim Ewins from Australia!

We have some amazing prizes YET AGAIN this month & we hope 

that many of you will be able to participate in our January challenge!

As you will see we now offer a mood board ONLY, without a sketch, in order

 to assist you in combining our challenge with a sketch challenge if you want :)

Feel free to interpret the mood board in any way you like,

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

 one aspect of an image, using ANY COLOURS!  

To be eligible for judging:-

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

1)  Sharing the mood board image.

2)  Mentioning Scrap Around The World {in full - not just 

SATW} & LINKING BACK to the current challenge.

3)  Mentioning HOW you were inspired by our mood board.

4)  Linking back to your SATW blog post NOT YOUR ENTIRE BLOG.

If receiving comments from some of our Design Team members is important

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

Here is my interpretation of the mood board:

I loved the lighthouse in the mood board so I thought it was fitting to scrap about our trip to Nova Scotia two summers ago, specifically when we visited the lighthouse at Peggy's cove.

I got inspired from the soft teal colours and the beach feel of this layout and of course the flowers.

I used the Blue fern studios chipboard page chain to mimic the strings above the table in one of the photos. I thought it fitted it perfectly.
