Berry 71 Bleu May challenge "Mother"

Fisrt of all, Happy Scrapbooking Day everyone!!!

Have you seen the new challenge up at Berry 71 Bleu 

for the month of May?  It's a really sweet challenge set 

by talented team member Amanda Aveiro who says:-

In honor of Mother’s Day I am centering the challenge

 around your favorite quote/poem/song about Mother’s. 

So you need to create a project about a mother - you, your

mother, your mother-in-law {you get the idea!} & you MUST

include a quote/poem (or a line or two, etc from one) or some

song lyrics - just something like that to personalize your page.

If you visit the site Amanda has given various examples to 

get your creative juices flowing, and she has also put together

a really cute little technique video about altering chipboard

so click on over and have a watch!

--------------------------------------------------------------

As always there are a few basic rules to follow:

 1. You are allowed to make a card, layout or altered/off the page 

project as long as you follow the theme or challenge of the month.

 2. This challenge is open to anyone anywhere in the world.

 3. Pls post your ACTUAL project post using the link tool 

on the sidebar and DO NOT link to your ENTIRE blog.

 4. Please SERIOUSLY CONSIDER turning off your word 

verification if comments are important to you:)

 5. You can submit as many projects as you would like 

and combine your entry with other challenges.

 6. Please mention in your blog post that you are playing 

along at Berry 71 Bleu TOGETHER with a link back 

to our blog. Thank you!

 7. All entries must be received by MIDNIGHT May 31st 

Central Standard Time. Winner of the challenge will receive

 a prize collection kit from our sponsor this month. 

8.  Each month we will have at least TWO prizes on offer.

One will be based on MERIT and voted on by our entire

design team whereas the other will be selected by

random draw! So players both have a fair chance!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This month I am very excited to tell you that our sponsor

is none other than my boss over at Les Papiers de Pandore,

Julie Blanc!  Who is sponsoring the MERIT prize with a 

whole collection pack of "The Scent of Camelias" paper

Julie's papers can be purchased DIRECT from the Pandore site

HERE  and you can also find Les Papiers de Pandore on 

FACEBOOK, where you can join in their monthly challenge

for the chance to win big too, by posting your creation there

using Pandore products (the challenge can be found on the 

Pandore blog each month). 

 Here is the link to EXACTLY what YOU COULD WIN.

The Pandore blog is a FEAST FOR THE EYES to follow,

although it is in French, if you use Google Chrome it gets

automatically translated for you if you like.

All Pandore papers are made from 100% recycled paper,

which does not impair the quality at all, in fact the quality

is superb, and each collection has custom acrylic stamps

designed to co-ordinate with it too!

It is also printed in France using 100% vegetable dyes - 

so it is very environmentally friendly yet so incredibly

BEAUTIFUL.  Projects using Pandore papers will be

up on the Berry 71 Bleu blog as the month progresses.

The RANDOM winner will receive this prize pack from 

Zeus and Zoe and Berry71bleu Etsy Shops: 

Isn't that a beautiful tag, and look at all those stamps!  

The challenge winners for April have already been announced

on the blog and if you don't want to miss any updates there is

also a "follow by e mail" gadget in the sidebar, so sign up &

never miss out on any Berry 71 Bleu inspiration again!  Good night :)
