A Happy Scramper

Scrapbook Boutique March Challenge and Blog Hop

Hey there - Welcome to the Scrapbook Boutique March Blog Hop and Challenge.

There are two fun things for you to do -  the Blog Hop and the Challenge - 

• first of all..... hop along on the Blog Hop - you should have arrived here from Ann's gorgeous blog and from here you'll hop on to see Louise's fab project.
  

• Leave a comment at each DT girl's blog and then finish with a comment on the Scrapbook Boutique Blog itself where the random winner will be drawn.

• Just for hopping you can win a $10 Gift Voucher to spend at the awesome Scrapbook Boutique store.

You have one week....the hop closes midday March 17 and the winner will be announced on the Scrapbook Boutique Blog on March 18. Good Luck!

(Head back to the SB Blog if you lose your way - you'll find the complete Blog Hop list....hop and challenge open to Australian and New Zealand residents only.)

Next - pull out your craft supplies and get busy with this month's Inspiration Challenge - we are now using these amazing mood boards to inspire you.

They were created by Audrey T who has kindly given Scrapbook Boutique permission to use them.

These gorgeous mood boards are bound to give you ooodles of fabulous inspiration for your projects...check out the board for March...

For me I couldn't go past the sweet aqua bottles and flowers in the top left photo. Here's my card all ready for Easter later this month...

I cut an egg with my Oval Nesties and added heat embossed spots - overlaying my Prima Cobblestones mask and squishing Versa Mark ink through it before adding white EP.

I then used the glorious green #50 in my Gansai Tambi Watercolour Set to colour the embossed egg.

Once that was dry I Zig coloured a few Doodle Bud blooms/leaves to add around my flower.

You have until March 31 to get your entry in.

The randomly chosen winner will receive a $30 Gift Voucher to Scrapbook Boutique -

what an awesome prize!

Full details and linking instructions over on the blog.

Can't wait to check out your creations.....have fun!

The Shabby Tea Room Challenge

Hey there - how's your Saturday going?

Check out the weather here at our place....

Yep just a little bit wet all along the SE coast of QLD tonight....not that I mind - perfect crafting weather.

So that's just what I've been doing....playing with the current challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room to be exact.....Week #105 "Spring is Near"....well not here in Australia it's not lol.

But the inspiration pic inspired me - just like it's supposed to ha ha -

Along with the pic, Char has asked -  "that you create a card or project inspired by the photo USING AT LEAST THREE COLORS FROM THE PICTURE and DRY EMBOSSING!"

Well, too easy :-) I chose teal, pink and lime green and the pots of paint inspired me to dry brush some paint on my spotted embossing panels along the bottom of my card....here 'tis -

Paper is from the very sweet Simple Stories Fabulous Paper Pad:-) Image is from The Graphics Fairy and the lush pink flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Thanks so much for dropping by and many many thanks to those lovely ladies who have been leaving me encouraging comments - I love to then go visiting your blog and see what you've been up to as well :-)

See you again soon....

The Shabby Tea Room and Skipping Stone Designs Challenges

Good Monday Morning to you!!

Not often I get to post on a Monday morning is it:-)))) Yaaaay for holidays!

Popping in to share with you an Easter Card I've created using 2 wonderful challenges....The Shabby Tea Room inspiration challenge and Skipping Stones Designs Sketch challenge.....

What's not to love about the sweet pic from The Shabby Tea Room....plus we have to use doilies or lace - now that's never hard for me :-))

Papers are from My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose "Hazel" paper pad and the image I have printed....it's from the most glorious site for vintage images - The Graphic Fairy. I am just loving building up a collection of her sweet old-fashioned images.

Okay, first day of holidays....what will I do today??? It's a bit of a rainy one.....kids are still in bed.....hubbies watching tele......might have breakfast and read the paper I think........sounds good to me! :-)

Hope you have a good one whatever you get up to....thanks for visiting!
