A Southern Girls Summer

Today we had our first snowfall of the season in my neck of the woods so the theme for this fortnights challenge with Southern Girls added a bit of warmth to my day!

"Feels Like Summer"

if only lol!

The image that I used for my card is "Funny Sunflower" by The Paper Shelter who are one of the challenge sponsors, please check the challenge blog for full details of the brilliant sponsors this time.

Oh Baby Baby!

Evening, it's Team Lou's team up for this fortnight's challenge at Southern Girls and the theme this time is

"Oh Baby Baby"

I have the urge to rap now, Lou must have listened to the same music as I did when I was rather younger but S Salt and Pepper definitely are not here lol!

It's a brilliant week for sponsors this time with some of my particular favourites, check out the challenge blog for full details. I used the rather lovely "Bluey" digi papers by Eiglassing and "Sweet Dreams" by The Paper Shelter.

I hung my coloured image from the aperture cut using my Nellie Snellen frame dies,I also flipped the image so that the reverse of the cut looked just as cute as the front if the suspended image happens to swing around. On the back of the card I added the remnants from when I cut the aperture as a place to write my greeting. 

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
Crafty Creations 175, Baby,
Divas by Design 40, Diecut,
MMCSC62, About the boys,

Papertake, Bingo left hand,vertical,

Daisy Doodles 62, Anything goes,

MIM94, Anything goes,

Southern Girls Secret

The Southern Girls have a great challenge for you this fortnight, we want you to "Show Us A Secret" !

I used The gorgeous Paper Shelter digi image, My Little Garden ,Paper Shelter are one of the sponsors for this fortnight, check out Southern Girls for full details of all the Sponsors.

I printed up the image twice, coloured them using Copics and cut the main part of the image out from one along with one of the bees. I shaped the watering can and pot and decoupaged them using Pinflair gel.

I stamped my greeting and mounted it on the card using foam pads around the edge only.

The "Just because" greeting is an old stamp from my stash I stamped it then used gel to add the bee to the end.

I was then able to slide this in the space under the Birthday greeting.

The edges of the papers were all distressed and some stitching, glossy accents and stickles added along with a die cut flower and button just like a tiny sunshine lol!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Sisterhood Of Crafters, Use a digi,

PSC21, Die cut,

PTT57, Anything goes, 

SOS41, Sentiment,

TTT71, Stitches,

LTC4, Stitches,

MIM78, Anything goes,

Southern Girls Challenge 19

Back again with my second post of the day,please scroll down for my previous post. This is my Southern Girls DT card where the challenge this week is Lace and Pearls.I love this Paper Shelter image,she's a dream to colour,I teamed her up with some magazine freebie papers and some left overs from my drawer, I then lightly distressed the edges of each cut using a deep lilac chalk eye. Now I didn't get organised before making my card and found myself searching through my sewing box finding some lace I bought to make tie backs years ago and some pearl beads I'd removed from a dress I bought that turned out to be a BIG mistake,(big being the operative word,it made me look like a beached whale!) anyway,I wore it once,and in a mood,after seeing myself in the mirror,removed the beads and threw it in the bin. (I'm not usually wasteful lol!)

 Anyway, as usual the great sponsors for this fortnight's challenge are Paper Shelter and Stitchy Bear. Remember to check out what the rest of the Southern Girls have created!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Bunny Zoe's 12,Lace,

KBcute 13,Anything digi,
