Southern Girls - Sparkle & Shine

Welcome back to another Southern Girls Challenge & this time it is sparkle & shine. Add some glitter, some sparkly bling or something shiny to your project. I have added a super cute sparkly bow to my layout.

I have used the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection for my layout, my title is from Bramble Fox, the cut file is from Hip Kit Club & the heart under my bow is Charms Creations.

My photo is another one from a photo shoot in Australia a couple of years ago, I may have even scrapped this one before that doesn't worry me, I love this photo of me & my girls & my sister & we had a great time.

Southern Girls - Autumn

Hi there & welcome  to another Southern Girls challenge,  I am back on Team Trace this week & the challenge is Autumn. It is definitely Autumn now here in New Zealand & has cooled down a lot in the last few weeks. Good staying inside & crafting weather!!

For my layout I have used this gorgeous cut file from the Hip Kit club & backed it with Pinkfresh Studio Everyday Musings collection. My background is Shimmerz Paints & embellies are mainly from the Everyday Musings collection also. Those cute clouds are from Bramble Fox.

My photo is my youngest daughter, Aimee,  taken last year, she turns 20 today so a big happy birthday to her.

Southern Girls - Girl Power

Hi there, I am back with another Southern Girls Challenge & this time the theme is Girl Power. I couldn't think of a better photo for this challenge than this one of my sister taken last year after she was diagnosed with breast cancer & she was picking up her wig. It's such a great shot with the sunlight coming through & shining the heart on her & the light above her head. I had bought this chippie with Vicky in mind & as soon as I saw the photo knew it was a perfect match.

The words on the chippie also describe perfectly how she has handled the whole experience & why I made this layout for this challenge. I am happy to report that nearly a year on she has completed all her treatment, her tumour has gone & she is doing really well!! 😃

 Anyway this is my layout & a close up on the chippie:

Southern Girls - Inks & Sprays


Hi there, it's time for another Southern Girls Challenge & this time it's Inks & Sprays.

For this one I used photos from Georgia's 21st birthday family dinner. They are spread over 2 layouts & will go together in the album (another double not double!). Unfortunately the lighting at the restaurant was not great so the photos are not as good as I would like but hey any photo is better than nothing, right?

Anyway for my inks/sprays I have used Vicki Boutin crayons & using a stencil brush have applied them through a stencil for my hearts background. I have used different colours up the page to match the different colours in the patterned paper. The paper & embellies are also Vicki Boutin, from the new Field Notes collection which I am loving right now.
