Celebrate with Southern Girls

The theme for our new challenge at Southern Girls is "Celebration".

I guess the obvious celebrations coming up for many are Halloween and Christmas.  Here in New Zealand we don't really celebrate Halloween.  Although I do have a basket of sweets at the front door, we might get 2 maybe 3 lots of trick or treaters, if we are lucky.  I know its a big thing in the States and the confectionery companies did try and bring it in here a few years back but it just never took off.

Off course there are many other celebrations including Christmas, birthdays, a new baby, anniversaries, graduations and my choice, celebrating a new home.

I used an image from one of our lovely sponsors, Art by Miran called "cute window illustration".  I coloured the window frame and shutters in grey, cut out the window glass and backed it with a small square of paper. Then hand cut some little pots to sit on the window sill and popped a flower into each.  I added foam tape to the window with a double layer to the shutters for extra dimension.  The sentiment is a combination of die cut and computer generated.  Sequins add a little sparkle to the otherwise plain background.

Now pop on over and check out the other DT creations 

and celebrate with Southern Girls.  

Look forward to seeing your entries.
