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 the mood board for March - lots of vibrant colour, texture and pattern in this one - I really love it! 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 above. 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. Focussing on colour, I decided
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.

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,
I don't know what it is about the latest challenge # 191 at Less is More this week, but each morning I have woken with a new idea in my head. I will, however, only be entering this first card, but I had fun trying to make my ideas work. I failed miserably with my final idea this morning, which was to use my Portrait (very new and I have no idea of graphics!!) to create a design which resembled the iPhone app called Word Storm. I did manage to create an octagon, then a border around it, and then the 8 sections, but when I added the small octagon in the centre, I realised I still did not know how to remove the crossed lines in the centre shape. Oh dear, back to the drawing board, or to the internet to search for lessons, but I had fun trying to solve my problems. If anyone reading this could point me in the right direction for good lessons, I would be most grateful. Now to my actual entry - this is a little 'Itty Bitty' by Unity Stamps Co - heat embossed and sponged w
