Scrapbook Boutique March Blog Hop and Challenge


Welcome to the Scrapbook Boutique March Blog Hop and Challenge.  

There are two ways you have a chance to win:  you can comment on each blog participant, ending with the SBB blog, or you can create a project (either a card, scrapbook layout or off the page project) inspired by this photo.  Please check out the rules of entry, and the prizes at the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.  Of course you can participate by entering for both prizes, but sadly this challenge is only open to Australian residents.

You should have arrived here from Angela's blog.

Here is this month's inspiration picture


I was inspired by the delicious pastel colours, the curled brims of the hats and those teeny tiny flowers.  I decided to play with watercolours again, painting those same lovely colours over a white embossed image and shaping my image piece over pretty background paper by Echo Park:  Sunny Days Ahead 6 x 6 paper pack.  The image and sentiment are by Whimsy Stamps - Love You a Bunch, and Summer Fairy.



From here you will hop over to Judith's blog 

Good luck everyone!

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...

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! To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
