Scrapbook Boutique - February Challenge

February Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique is so topical, with this love themed yummy picture to inspire us.
I was inspired by the love theme too, and the pink colours, for my creation.  I know there are a few of these around, but I first saw them demonstrated on Splitcoastampers, and just knew I had to try the technique.  The boxes fold flat, for postage, but open up like this to stand like a box.  I have two little grand-daughters in the US, so thought they would love to receive a 'love' box card for Valentines Day - they are up to their necks in snow at the moment, hence the snow images.  One card even has a little puppy being taken for a walk - you can only see the tips of his ears, and his tail!  So cute!  The images are from Mos Digi Pencil - super!  I've also added a little 'key to my heart' banner by Stampin' Up!  The snow girls are coloured with Copics.




























I think they will like them - I hope so!

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!

Something Shiny

We all love shiny things I think, so this week's challenge at Less is More is a JOY!  Here is my card, which will add to my Christmas stash. Hard to see the shine, but the next view might be better. I die cut the Joy to the World Wreath by Cheery Lyn, and inlaid it back into the white card front.  It seems to suit the CAS style better this way.  The shiny sentiment is cut from silver mirror card, mounted to self adhesive foam - as you can see in the shiny photo - no messy glue to spoil the effect! While visiting the LIM blog, I realised that my card would also qualify for the current  Muse challenge.   This is the first time I have entered, so here are their rules: Use  the inspiration card as a starting point - strictly speaking, I found my card fits the criteria after I had made it, but the links are - metallic sentiment, scattered berries, and a stitched border to frame the panel. Make  a Christmas or winter-themed card,
