Spiders and Insects!!

Great challenge theme this week at Less is More - it is Spiders or Insects!


I thought I'd use my mason jar stamp by Dear Lizzy and a ladybug from Paper Smooches 'Little Lady' to create a handy card for friends who have succumbed to one of the many viruses plaguing us at present.  It's hard to find someone who hasn't been affected this past winter, even though we all diligently take our vaccine for the flu.  Spring has just sprung here and we are so looking forward to warmer weather:)

I stamped the lid again on a spare piece of card, and popped it up on foam dots - it just added a bit of form to this very simple card.  The sentiment was computer generated, in Two Peas Hearts Delight font.  A strip of paper by Heidi Swapp and glossy accents on the bug to finish.

    This is so pretty and sweet! The bug in the mason jar is adorable, and the paper trim at the top really adds to the country cottage feel. Fab card! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More, and I hope your friends all shake off the lurgy soon :)

    Great card, Ann. I very nearly used this sentiment but couldn't find a suitable receptacle for my bug! haha
    Love all that lovely white space.
    Thanks for sharing with us.

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...
