New Challenge at Southern Girls

Its time for a new challenge at Southern Girls.  Its a favourite "Anything Goes".  We have lovely sponsors for the challenge so pop to the blog for all the details.

I'm sharing this cutie using dies from Frantic Stamper. There is only one baby in the set but being the mum of twins I had to put 2 into the bath tub.

Come join us with anything you like, we love to see all your creations.

Butter wouldn't melt...hmmmm

Come back soon

Fishing Seagull

Seagulls love fishing not always with a fishing rod though.  This is another of the new releases from Kindacute by Patricia.  He was really  quick and easy to colour.  I love the expression on his face, he looks a little disconcerted that he actually caught a little fish so I went with a "Get Well Soon" sentiment.  I'm sure the fish will make it through.  Coloured in pencil, with a simple card design pulling out the lime green of the seagulls hat.  There are other new releases so pop to the facebook group or the store to see them all.  I'll have another tomorrow so some back for a look at another lovely image.

Be back soon

Industrial with a feminine touch.

Even thought the new release at Frantic Stamper is Industrial in theme, I thought I would give the dies a feminine touch.  I used the Steampunk frame and the Roman Clock from this release with some lovely Graphic 45 papers to make a Mothers Day card.  The big Happy die is from a previous release.

These dies although prefect for masculine cards are also great for feminine cards, really very versatile, as are all of the Frantic Stamper dies.

Hope to see you again soon

New Challenge time

Yes it is new challenge time at Southern Girls.  This round we want you to "frame it'.  We have great sponsors giving prizes once again.  My card uses a very lovely sentiment stamp from Darkroom  Door an Australian stamp Company. I stamped it and then jazzed it up a bit by framing each letter in black and adding a bit of detail with a white gel pen.  Its a great sentiment to remember and inspire.

I paired the sentiment up with an image from Brandi Kincaid who designs for Ellen Hutson.  Just worked so perfectly together.

Come join us, we love to see your creations.

Thanks for dropping by

Amazing Sweetie!!

It's another digital image release from Kindacute by Patricia.   This little gymnast is such a sweetie
and just perfect for the sentiment.  It's good to remember that even though you may not think so you are doing amazing things and to also remind others of the same.

I coloured her in pencil and framed her in paper to match her leotard.  A simple layout which I think  show off Patricia's images perfectly.

This and the other April releases will be available in store on April 5th.

Back soon

Light Bulb Moment

Well kind of  but maybe not what you thought when you read Light Bulb moment.  Its time for a new release at Frantic Stamper.  Its a Grads and Industrial theme.  These Light Bulbs are just great and really fun to work with.  I went for a retro look using red, cream and dark grey.  I paired the bulbs up with the Chevron Borders and edgers, another great die to have in your stash.  The sentiments you could use with these dies are endless, from "you did it" to "shine brightly".  And....brilliant for masculine cards (see what I did there).

Go check these are other great dies at Frantic Stamper Inc.

See you soon

April Already!!!

Well yes it certainly is.  I think I lost March somewhere.  Its new release time Kindacute by Patricia.  So today I am happy to share this cute bear digital image.  All new images will be available in the store on April 5th.  I just love the look on his face.  He's coloured in pencil and fussy cut then popped up on foam.  I paired him with a lovely big hello die cut on some patterned paper.  Simple design but shows the image off perfectly.

Back in a couple of days with another new release.

See you then
