I'm back with an 80th birthday card

I won't know if anyone still remembers me or sees this post, but I'm hoping that I can reprise my blog now that I've found how to post again.  Almost a year ago, I was informed that my blog platform was no longer supported, and I believed that I could no longer post, but coming back in through blogger.com I am able to access it - as I am now.  This makes me very happy - as I didn't want to lose all those posts, which in a way, were like a personal diary - albeit only about card making!

So for anyone visiting, here is a new card - an 80th birthday card for an elegant lady of 80.

It is an A4 size folded in half, and there are lots of layers, but the main background is a free image found on google.


If you see this post, I'd love to know so I can thank you!  Please leave a comment and I'll happily respond.

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...
