We have the moody Blues at Moving along with the times this week

Good morning all

We have a lovely new challenge
at
Moving along with the Times 

this week and our lovely Debs has chosen a mood board for us 

The inspiration is 

Moody Blues

And this is what I came up with

Using the gorgeous balloon basket from LOTV available here

If there were points for using things from this inspiration board I think I'd score pretty high!
(you've got to blow your own trumpet sometimes lol)

As a start its blue and white which is the main theme running through, but looking at the separate elements of the board I also have flowers (including the tulips on the board), stars, lace and ribbon.  But there are so many other elements that you could draw inspiration from on this board - its also very girly, shoes dresses and a manequin are there and even cups and plates.
I loved this Debs - thanks for the great inspiration.

This is what I did...

New beginnings at Moving Long with the times this week

Good morning all

I'm here today for a new beginning - over at Moving Along at the Times - but also for myself as well!

I've been sorting out my rubber stamps of late and have been enjoying using them again instead of the digis that seem to get used more and more these days.

I have a huuuuge! collection of rubber stamps that sort of found their way to the back of the cupboard

so I've dusted them off and given them a promotion to the top drawer

- expect to see more!!

I've used a cute baby stamp from Lili of the Valley to make a baby card for our

New beginnings Challenge

This stamp is called Baby Blanket  and is available here

This is my favourite baby stamp I've used it so many times - I have 3 or 4 other baby stamps but for some reason I always go back to this one, I think because it can be for either a boy or a girl and I also tried to make this card the same - one size fits all lol!

This is what I did.....
