A new Scrapbook Boutique challenge and Hop begins!

Good Morning, hope you are gearing up for a fabulous Monday, as we are at Scrapbook boutique!

Today is the beginning of another Inspiration Challenge and another blog hop!

If you are following along with the blog hop you would have arrived from Narelle's blog- I bet you are inspired, if you get lost, you can always head to the SB blog and start from there!

The prize is the Echo Park - Holly Jolly set

You just need to leave a comment on each of the DT gals blogs (remember we have a new team member Sue) and a final one on SB Blog,  the  random winner will be drawn from there!

The hop will be open for 1 week, closing midday Saturday 17th, the winner will be announced on the SB blog on Sunday 18th. 

 Unfortunately the blog hop prize (as is the inspiration challenge) only open to anyone with an Australian mailing address.

We also have for you, our regular monthly inspiration challenge!

Make a creation using the gorgeous inspiration photo, and  you could be the winner of the $30 gift voucher to Scrapbook Boutique
I have been inspired by the black, white and silver combination.
I made this for my Hubby's 40th birthday late last month, but with the school holidays and DD destroying my  1st coloured image with crystal effects, it was put on the back burner!
But anything good is worth the wait!
I have coloured Luka in DH favourite football team Collingwood colours, perfect for the inspiration pic!

Some Info about World Card Making day from Rosie:

World Card Making Day began in 2006 as National Card Making Day. Founded by Paper Crafts magazine to bring card makers together at the beginning of the busiest card-making season of the year, it was first held on October 7, 2006. The initial celebration involved the Paper Crafts magazine audience only; however, due to the positive response it received and the worldwide popularity of card making, the holiday became known as World Card Making Day from then on.

Celebrating its fifth year in 2010, World Card Making Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October. It's a day for the card-making community -- hobbyists, retailers, and manufacturers -- to unite and celebrate the connection and creativity that is the heart of card making.
