October Mid Month Reveal at ***Scrap Around the World***

October 2014 Challenge 18 - A Vibrant & Glamorous Mood Board by 
  
Hello & welcome!  We present to you today - Challenge EIGHTEEN, 
hosted by Design Team member Rachael Funnell of Australia.


I love her work it's always very inspiring.

Rachael has created this fabulous & glamorous mood board for you 
this month & I am sure you will find it as irresistible as the Design Team did!

There are SO MANY WAYS TO BE INSPIRED from this mood board, from the
colours to the ombre effects, Aztec designs, the spots on the butterfly, the
amazing textures of the distressed bird cage to the lace of the shoes & the bling,
cogs & gears & metal in the butterfly image to the cut-outs of the blouse.
WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH!!

As usual we have 5 wonderful merit-based prizes for you this month
 & one random prize which can be won by ANYONE ANYWHERE. 
All our prizes always include international shipping!

Not only that, but we also offer a Guest Designer Position to our
winner each month too, which comes with plenty of exposure
in your own special post as well as an exclusive badge.

Please remember that in order to be eligible for our random prize each 
month you do need to share your project on our Facebook Wall.

You only need to be inspired by ONE image but can be inspired by
 more than one or even ALL the images - it really is UP TO YOU!!

We are NOT A COLOUR CHALLENGE SITE so there is no need
to follow our colours, although of course if they are your source of
inspiration you are welcome to use them all, or just some of them,
otherwise none at all!  You have complete artistic freedom BUT
we do need to be able to SEE HOW YOU WERE INSPIRED!

  And this is my take on the super pretty mood board: 
I was inspired by the two pictures above and my challenge was NOT to use butterflies because I always use butterflies.
Let's have a closer look: 



I have to say I had some difficulties photographing this layout the color didn't came out right but I think this is the best shot! For this layout I used some gorgeous Fika papers by Maja Design!
Speaking of Maja Design I was asked to be their Seasonal Winter girl YEAHHHHH
So my work will be posted on the blog in November!
