October Winners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!

First of all, I really would like to thank everyone for applying for a spot on our design team. As predicted, we had a high number of interested people.. which makes me happy you all wish to join our team here, yet.. it makes me anxious as to how I can possibly decide. So, I have decided to enlist the help of the current design team. I am going through all the applications right now, and am making a shortlist and as a team we will decide who will be in the new team! Well.. that kind of makes me feel a little better I must add. I never want to be the bad guy.. LOL so .. now if you get mad you can get mad at the whole team not just me LOL!

So anyway, I will announce the new team as soon as possible!

***Design Team Call***

Well hello everyone! 

I hope you are all well :) 

Today I am announcing our Design Team call. Throughout the year I get many many emails and questions about how to join our team so here is it !!

I will tell you first up that this is so hard for me to do because when it comes to choosing, I simply cannot decide and having to tell people that they were not successful is so sad for me. I understand that feeling SO well as I myself have been unsuccessful in the past MANY times but I do hope you all understand... 

SO I apologise in advance if you are not chosen... I wish i could have a spot for everyone but that is impossible. After last year's Design Team call ended, I replied to each and everyone that applied personally. I will try this year again, but forgive me if I do not as it all depends on what baby lets me do LOL

I will tell you that I have dedicated an email account just for this call, so I will DEFINITELY get your application so please note I will not be sending confirmation emails this time. 

So here we go


I can't wait to see your applications!!

Please remember to just go for it! You just never know what it is I am looking for. 

I wish you luck :)

October Challenge!

Hey everyone! Another month, another challenge.

October brings autumn/fall to some countries of the world, but for us here in Australia sunny long days have started and the hint that summer is on its way is overwhelming :)

I hope you all get a chance to play along this month. We have SOME AMAZING prizes up for grabs and don't forget about our Facebook contest!!! When you play along this month please remember to post your layout at our Facebook Page HERE where a RANDOM winner will be chosen to win this prize from our monthly Facebook sponsor 13arts
13 arts - Polish company created by Aida Domisiewcz aka Ayeeda. We provide original scrapbooking papers and mixed media products: water inks, pearl and chalk mists, water paints, many types of microspheres, acrylic mediums. We constantly work on new products to give you best scrapbooking and mixed media supplies for your artwork. Please visit our online shop (we ship internationally): http://13arts.pl/ and our blog: http://13artspl.blogspot.com/





   


Journalling Theme: "The Journey..."

You are free to interpret our theme ANY WAY you like. It is for your inspiration and this theme word DOES NOT need to be part of your title or journalling. But please make sure your layout is based on the sketch below and includes journalling (hidden journalling is fine). Acceptable journalling is MORE than just a sentence, or generic writing such as date/place etc. It needs to be present and at least 3 lines long. Remember, hidden journalling (under a photo/tag or behind your page) is perfectly fine but please DO let us know in your post where your journalling is! 




Please welcome the winner of  our August challenge
