TIME IS ALMOST UP!!  TODAY IS THE LAST DAY!!!


Hello everyone!   Helen here is what you call the first post of the month! 
Our new February mood board !! Tusia will bring you the mid-month reveal
 on the16th of February, where the other half of our Design Team will inspire you!!

We present you with an amazingly beautiful & romantic mood board for
February, the month of love!  The images are not your typical Valentine's
 ones, but you know how we like to mix it up here at SATW, to  keep your 
creative juices flowing!!  Thank you to Tatiana Sidorenko from Belarus, 
for creating this original & thought-provoking board.


There are so many ways you can be inspired by this board!   The soft colors - 
 Beige, brown, white, teal &  shades of green & yellow. Or how about the
textures -  from the metal elements, rust, weathered & worn wood, sand, 
wood grain / panels, foliage, swirls & the  softness of a head full of curls? 

Images that catch my eye are gentle  flowers, rhinestones, and bokeh blur
 effects, stripes, ombre, grass, leaves, wood image, flourishes, bridges, 
boats, oars & anchors. Aaaaah ... I could go on and on ...

Here is Tatiana & a reminder about her details...

Belarus Ambassador <br> Canvas Specialist

"Hello, my name is Tatiana & I live in Belarus. 
I get inspiration from everything & everyone,  but primarily from my children
 & friends.  I like to create  different types of projects - layouts , mixed media 
scrapbooking & albums.  My style is mixed media freestyle.

You can find a lot of layers & embellishments on my projects.
 I love to learn different techniques & experiment with  them as well as
 playing with different textures. If you would like, you can visit my blog here .
You can also find me on Pinterest Faceboook & YouTube
