Inspiring Journals Competition

Creative journal competition by @InspiringJournals in association with the National Galleries of Scotland.

Please note: this competition has now closed. You can see the entries by checking out #CutandPasteContest on Instagram. 

We were looking at collage in all its forms this summer. And creative, art or junk journaling (or scrapbooking) is a brilliant and engaging evolution. Check out @kia.creates' and @mygreencow’s works on our Instagram channel to see what we mean.

To celebrate our wonderful collage exhibition, @inspiringjournals ran an Instagram-based competition with the prize provided by the National Galleries. The lucky winner was chosen by @inspiringjournals to receive the fantastic merch below.  

The prize included: an exhibition book for Cut and Paste: 400 Years of Collage, ‘The Collage Ideas Book’ by Alannah Moore, a beautiful pair of gold skull scissors for your crafting, an Eduardo Paolozzi  post card pack, 2 sheets of Edward Bawden gift wrap designed for the National Galleries of Scotland (great for scrapbooking), a Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art tote bag and some delicious Coco Chocolatier chocolate.

This was sent to the postal address provided by the winner.
