Paper Hugs

Welcome once again to  Scrapbook Boutique's  monthly challenge and blog hop.  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 charming mood board to inspire you. Now to the housekeeping part - if you want to create something or just join in to win, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You can comment on each blog, 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.  Of course you can do both for a chance to win both prizes!  Please check out the rules of entry, and the prizes at the  Scrapbook Boutique Blog  and note that this challenge is open to Australian  and New Zealand residents.

I've used the stamp Oh La La by Caravelle Studio for the performer, some texts by Stampin' Up! and I drew the bill board by hand and decorated it with stars and dots.  The large numerals are heat embossed and die cut and they are also from Stampin' Up!  The card is A5 size, as it really needed to be larger than usual to fit everything into it!  I had great fun making this card, so I hope 'Judy' knows how much her friend is thinking of her when she finally receives it.
