Green and Yellow

This week's challenge at Less is More is a colour challenge - and the colours are Yellow and Green.  Is it just a coincidence that Chrissie happens to be in Australia at this time, because these colours (or more accurately green and gold) are Australia's national colours!  I only wish I could have created a card with a nationalistic theme, but nothing in my collection of stamps seemed remotely possible to use in that way - though as often happens, once my creation has been submitted, I think of or find another stamp which would have been much, much better than the one I chose!  However, here is my cute bird by TAWS, along with its sentiment - very, very CAS for me!  I hope you like it and I also hope Chrissie is enjoying her visit to Australia and is being made to feel very welcome.

Wow!  Where has the year gone already?  We will soon be caught up with the 'busyness' of Christmas, summer and holidays no doubt, so I'm happy to welcome you to this month's Blog Hop and Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - let's have fun while we can! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours!

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...
