Maybe you like a background pattern or a shape in the display or want to use photos that match the theme.

During 2022 our inspiration is coming to you from ART ROOMS (aka store window displays). Just bear in mind that these are actual window displays, mostly behind glass, so the images may not be as clear and crisp as our previous artwork images.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; color: #494949; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;">How you interpret these arty displays is totally up to you but please let us know what inspired you from our monthly art room – it may be the colours, or the overall style or perhaps there is a specific item you see that you can replicate on your page. Maybe you like a background pattern or a shape in the display or want to use photos that match the theme. We’d love to hear what jumped out at you!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; color: #494949; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal;

Maybe you like a background pattern or a shape in the display or want to use photos that match the theme. We’d love to hear what jumped out at you!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJyY-tSRPxGR_dmgPSoaF3Gzp-4wm10z5BlYL1yTCG2X0oOyfkjTAyGuUWHZkej8ZopfIWTuolc8U0W2kmiVDvr7pkhu2196ObKnDl229t0mE4y4eCnS0u36Kj6Bu1b_OUuuyKLkfMV3gzsEuSQOTEj4ae4QgBCGWYsuKS6xVPVJyPgpYiPFKa4b1tAw/s569/13.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" data-original-height="471" data-original-width="569" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJyY-tSRPxGR_dmgPSoaF3Gzp-4wm10z5BlYL1yTCG2X0oOyfkjTAyGuUWHZkej8ZopfIWTuolc8U0W2kmiVDvr7pkhu2196ObKnDl229t0mE4y4eCnS0u36Kj6Bu1b_OUuuyKLkfMV3gzsEuSQOTEj4ae4QgBCGWYsuKS6xVPVJyPgpYiPFKa4b1tAw/w400-h331/13.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;">And now some inspiration from our team ...</span></span></div><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px;"></p><div style="background-color: white;"><div><div style="font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;">(in no particular order)</span></span></i></div><div style="font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://shazzacraft.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><b>Sharon Bishop</b></a> - (Australia)</span></div><div style="font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzn_e1StcohUZ814ZnUBW3yJfByYX5j65dknlKXsjKBZoYaCpm47_6cfADTvIu68iVM5i2FG-YUdUQB2G1scbtr1Bbz3mR_eeNh1dJrGkAjSdahTQKkJcL6VL1Medbi_Rp2Lwn-cOpuPH8DRvVNnaepF1jYlMmDz4TygNkdftjr6GrjLqqa9blhZ7tQg/s2013/Shazza.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2013" data-original-width="2013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzn_e1StcohUZ814ZnUBW3yJfByYX5j65dknlKXsjKBZoYaCpm47_6cfADTvIu68iVM5i2FG-YUdUQB2G1scbtr1Bbz3mR_eeNh1dJrGkAjSdahTQKkJcL6VL1Medbi_Rp2Lwn-cOpuPH8DRvVNnaepF1jYlMmDz4TygNkdftjr6GrjLqqa9blhZ7tQg/w400-h400/Shazza.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="text-align: start;">Used the bright pink and green from the shop front inspiration and added a few columns!

During 2022 our inspiration is coming to you from ART ROOMS (aka store window displays).</span> Just bear in mind that these are actual window displays, mostly behind glass, so the images may not be as clear and crisp as our previous artwork images.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;">How you interpret these arty displays is totally up to you but please let us know what inspired you from our monthly art room – it may be the colours, or the overall style or perhaps there is a specific item you see that you can replicate on your page. Maybe you like a background pattern or a shape in the display or want to use photos that match the theme. We’d love to hear what jumped out at you!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgt1j5BpofhQtvLGysz36EaRfvLJj85_ZLMG6mhIgwiTKsUMsVNP2d140hJyqy1L-He6_xD4_LstGAbXqezWCjVtqloiTqTwlBmAcKxbhwHPnoUti_wFS_ZpQFUj78KTN66_kBQZx0zuOy3scKz_nXHlaQNJsmea8U4L53YzjA9TrqMVSkzB0dTUImuJw=s776" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" data-original-height="538" data-original-width="776" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgt1j5BpofhQtvLGysz36EaRfvLJj85_ZLMG6mhIgwiTKsUMsVNP2d140hJyqy1L-He6_xD4_LstGAbXqezWCjVtqloiTqTwlBmAcKxbhwHPnoUti_wFS_ZpQFUj78KTN66_kBQZx0zuOy3scKz_nXHlaQNJsmea8U4L53YzjA9TrqMVSkzB0dTUImuJw=w400-h278" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;">And now some inspiration from our team ...</span></span></div><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px;"></p><div style="background-color: white;"><div><div style="font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;">(in no particular order)</span></span></i></div><div style="font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="https://beingkaren.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><b>Karen Brierley</b></a> - (Australia)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Droid Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgprL6KHabVt8vZLhe7vI9BpDktCjv2AHwAK9fzjl2bt8r3SEdjF-2aVJ8Z5jQcwrNF4vb6xucgBpusybEPWzA6FIcbVRRDF7SBLZzsb38tb-feHgoemEwxhHhxlAYWnTGJyKN2-pmEWFaiHkLrmsYATins-cIvFWoC7FbtbugUL6ygtp4ASBKXZ25vcA=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="800" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgprL6KHabVt8vZLhe7vI9BpDktCjv2AHwAK9fzjl2bt8r3SEdjF-2aVJ8Z5jQcwrNF4vb6xucgBpusybEPWzA6FIcbVRRDF7SBLZzsb38tb-feHgoemEwxhHhxlAYWnTGJyKN2-pmEWFaiHkLrmsYATins-cIvFWoC7FbtbugUL6ygtp4ASBKXZ25vcA=w400-h390" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;"><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Many years ago I received these cute felt toadstools in a RAK gift.

are making some changes to our challenges which I hope you will all enjoy. During 2022 our inspiration is coming to you
from ART ROOMS (aka store window displays).</span> Just bear in mind that these are actual window
displays, mostly behind glass, so the images may not be as clear and crisp as
our previous artwork images.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">How you interpret these arty displays is totally up to you but please let us know what
inspired you from our monthly art room – it may be the colours, or the overall style
or perhaps there is a specific item you see that you can replicate on your
page.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe you like a background pattern
or a shape in the display or want to use photos that match the theme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’d love to hear what jumped out at you!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;
