Scrap Around The World – some important news and new challenge :)
Hello my scrappy friends!
Today at Scrap Around The World challenge blog, there are some really important news 🙂 For English speaking people – below there is a full text (or you can visit also SATW blog). For Polish readers – small summary 🙂
Witajcie scrapowi przyjaciele 🙂
Dziś na blogu Scrap Around The World pojawiło się kilka istotnych informacji – poniżej zamieszczam pełen angielski tekst, ale specjalnie dla Was wymieniam w punktach najważniejsze dla Was kwestie:
1. Nowe wyzwanie (lutowe) jest już na blogu i w tym roku nie ma już żadnych mapek – są tylko baaardzo inspirujące “moodboardy”, czyli tablice inspiracyjne – autorką lutowej jest Christin Gronnslett
2. Począwszy od teraz SATW ma specjalne badziki dla gościnnych projektantek i featured youtubers (czyli wyróżnionych autorów kursów video)
3. Bardzo wkrótce SATW będzie miał PIERWSZY DT CALL, czyli pierwszy nabór do zespołu – szczegóły zostaną ogłoszone 8ego lutego. Tak więc jeśli chcecie się zgłosić, a nigdy wcześniej nie przygotowałyście/przygotowaliście żadnego projektu na wyzwanie SATW – macie jeszcze chwilę na to 🙂
4. Zespół powiększył się o Mette Kallander ze Szwecji – poniżej możecie przeczytać trochę informacji o nowej szwedziej ambsadorce.
5. U góry strony w SATW jest nowy, duży banner z 10 najlepszymi pracami, który będzie widoczny przez cały miesiąc – aż do następnej publikacji zwycięzców – to cudowna promocja osób, które są w tej najlepszej dziesiątce, bo każdy zaglądający na bloga SATW najpierw widzi właśnie tę “The wall of fame” 🙂
My project will be revealed on February, 16th – here is only the small sneak-peek 🙂
Mój projekt będzie opublikowany 16ego lutego – teraz tylko mała zajaweczka 🙂
