Decor8 Amy Butler Print Contest

One of my favourite Bloggers Holly Becker at Decor8 is running a fun contest using the new range of Amy Butler Design fabrics (with a fab Amy Butler Design pack as prize). Entrants have created mood boards for a room using material swatches from the new fabric range Midwest Modern. You can find my little entry here. Some of the graphic designer and interior designer mood boards are incredible and worth checking out here.
