Southern Girls - Best Furry Friends Forever

Hi there & welcome back to another Southern Girls challenge.

We are in lock down here in New Zealand now as is most of the world & while I am still working from home it is nice to be able to spend some time crafting & taking our minds of what is happening in the world. I have always found scrapbooking to be a great stress release, it's good to do something creative.

Anyway another dog layout, this time it's my own two girls curled up together & snoozing, they are very spoilt these two & are totally adored by everyone in the house!

I have used a cute cutfile from Paige Evans which is perfect for this photo. My paper & ephemera are from the Heidi Swapp Color Fresh collection. I have also used ephemera & puffy stickers from This is a Beautiful Life which was an exclusive Hip Kit Club collection designed by Kim Watson.
The perspextive stars are from Bramble Fox & the stamping is a mixture of Heidi Swapp & Pink Paislee - Paige Evans stamp sets.

Southern Girls - Dare to Dream

Welcome to the February challenge for Team Trace, as all our challenges are now Anything Goes I decided to do a page about my youngest daughters 20th birthday last year. I can't believe it is nearly a year ago & she will soon be having her 21st birthday!

I have used a COAPA (Confessions of a paper addict)
Cut file & backed it with Vicki Boutin's Wildflower & Honey collection. My background was made with Shimmerz paints & my title is a Bramble Fox perspextive. The cute balloons on either side of my cut file are also from Bramble Fox.

Southern Girls - A Melbourne Alley

Hi there, welcome back to the first Southern Girls challenge for the year. This year all our challenges are going to be Anything Goes, this makes it easy for everyone to enter so why not give it a try.

My first layout is based on a trip to Melbourne last year with my sister to visit relatives. We spent a couple of nights in the city, shopping, sightseeing & going to a show. We found this cute little bar which was basically just an alleyway, but they had made it cosy & inviting & we loved the hanging lanterns that you can see in my photos. It was a great spot after a hard day shopping!!

I started off with plain white cardstock which I have stenciled on using a Darkroom Door stencil & then added colour with Shimmerz paints. I have mainly used products from a Hip Kit club kit from last year which included Pretty Little Studio papers & exclusives from Hip Kit. The cute gold arrow is from Charms Creations. For a bit of added zing I have hand stitched in gold thread at the top & bottom of my page.

My layout is based on this Hip Kit Club sketch & I am entering their weekly sketch challenge with it:

Southern Girls - Anything Goes

Hi there, welcome to the last Team Trace challenge for the year (I know I said that last time, but it seems I was wrong!! 😃) This challenge is Anything Goes, my favourite!

I decided to use this amazing cut file from COAPA (Confessions of a Paper Addict), teamed up with Vicki Boutin's Wildflower & Honey collection & a couple of little Bramble Fox hearts.

My photo is of Georgia when we were at the Adele concert, we were soo excited & waiting for her to come on. As we were in Brisbane it was really hot & we had such a great night!!

Southern Girls - Christmas

Hi there, welcome back to another Southern Girls challenge & this time it's Christmas. It still seems to early to be thinking about christmas to me but I know the time between now & then will fly by & once I started my layout I started to get excited about it.

The papers I have used are a mix of a couple of older Pinkfresh Studio collections which suits my photo as it is nearly 5 years old now. Our dog Lucy was helping Aimee open her presents, very cute!

My title is from Bramble Fox along with the hearts & ivy leaves. The embellies are a mix I have had for awhile (lots of stash busting on this layout!) & I made my first shaker pocket for the little xmas tree.

Thanks for our awesome sponsors:

Southern Girls - Anything Goes

Hi there, welcome back to another Southern Girls challenge & this week it's "Anything Goes".

I decided to scrap these photos of my daughter Aimee who moved out of home & into her
first flat at the beginning of this year.

I started with a mixed media background, firstly I gesso'd my paper then added some Shimmerz sprays & some stamping with a Vicki Boutin colour wheel.

I have used papers & embellies from Pretty Little Studio with some extra embellies from an old Rainbow Splendour kit. I have also added a couple of charms from Charms Creations.

Thanks to our lovely sponsors Three Button Studio, head over & check them out:
