The Eyes have it!


The one layer theme this week at Less is More is The Eyes Have It!  There were some fabulous inspiration cards from the team, one of which reminded me of an unused stamp I have by Simon Says Stamp - Only Have Eyes For You.  I believe it arrived after Valentine's Day so was put away at the time.



The inspiration for my card (as so many do) came from Therese, who made this card a while back and while I couldn't use her clever technique of the spotlight, it was a great help to me in deciding how and where to place my little character.  I'm happy I have this OLC CAS nailed today lol!

If you're still here, you might like to see the little shaker spider I made, directly copying Jen Shultz who used Taylored Expressions dies to make hers.  I love Taylored Expressions products, but needed mine quickly to take up to Brisbane in a week or so, to make with our little girls, so I improvised and cut the legs by hand.  As you may know, they returned at the beginning of this year from the States, and the youngest one (just 7) on hearing that Halloween isn't such a big thing in Oz remarked:  'I couldn't live in a country that doesn't celebrate Halloween'.!!  What a hoot!  So this is my way of alleviating her 'pain':)  They are loving being back, needless to say - it's still about 23C there - they don't seem to have had any winter this year:)  I felt I could share this today as it also has 'eyes'.

    Great cards. Therese is such an inspiration. Fab CAS.
    Your granddaughter is a hoot. I am finding halloween is becoming bigger every year. I bet she is happy with her spider.

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...

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...
