March 1st Moodboard Challenge

March is finally here and for most of us that means spring! 
Days will start getting longer and, hopefully, warmer. 

To celebrate this time of nature waking up to life, we have for you a fun spotty mood board. You can use the colour palette, the spots or the general impression of the board to inspire you to create - please, make sure that in your post you tell us which element(s) exactly inspired your project.


To participate, you need to do your interpretation of our challenge and upload a direct link to your project with the help of our Linkytool. The interpretations are free in form (layout, card, art journal, album, canvas) but you need to follow the outlines of the challenge. Remember to include challenge image and link to our challenge in your post.
Deadline to the upload is March 31, 2017.

            ⧫⧫⧫

Guest Designer - Rachel Dutko


Today, we have for you our second December winner taking on the February TIC TAC TOE challenge - say Hello to Rachel Dutko!



Thanks again for having me as a guest designer for February. 

My name is Rachel Dutko and I live in Adelaide, South Australia with my husband and our 2 boys. I have been scrapbooking for about 3 years. I am currently on the Design Teams for Colour Blast Australia and the Creative Kit Club, as well as 'Scrap The Boys' and 'Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia' challenge blogs.  You can find me on social media here:







I chose the bottom row of the tic-tac-toe board: TWO OR MORE PHOTOS - HEARTS - RED
My layout today is documenting our newest family member. Our family recently adopted a kitten from an animal shelter, and I wanted to document the way she chose us, not the other way around. I used the crazy red paint splatters to symbolise her playful, crazy, energetic kitten personality. 





We hope that this amazing project has inspired you to join our challenge - there's still time.

Remember that there is a prize to be won and two Guest Designer spots for April challenge.
  

See you soon!
