How time flies.<br />
I had the privilege of being asked to make a card for the <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/">Southern Girls Challenge</a> farewell post. It was a privilege to be a part of the DT for <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/">SGC</a> for the couple of years I was on the team. I have not actually made a card since I last posted so it was good motivation and will hopefully keep me motivated to start again.<br />
So Thank you to Lou and Tracy for asking me to be a part of this sad but special moment. I wish you both all the best in your future adventures.<br />

I decided to colour up Pirate Tilda and decided to use some of my scrap papers. Then added some embellishments that I had in my stash.<br />
Hopefully I will continue to make cards and start posting on a regular basis.<br />
Farewell <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/">Southern Girls Challenge</a>!!<br />

I did not have any images from the sponsors so I have used an image from Polkadoodles - Urban and Modern Boy. The image is pre-coloured and I cut it out and stuck it on 3D dots for some dimension. I added the die cut arrows, buttons and string.<br />

I put this card together pretty quickly but thanks to The Paper Shelter I used the pre-coloured<b><a href="https://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=792"> Glittery and Sparkling</a> </b>and made a sweet card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed out the background and pre-coloured image then duplicated the image, cut it out and stuck it on with foam dots. I then added kindy glitz to various parts of the background and image. Simple but cute card.</div>

I had other plans for this card but It just wasn't coming together how I visualised it so I found bits and pieces in my stash and put this together. Not my best card, should have made the owls better or added more. I coloured the owls in with tria markers and twinkling H2O's. </div>

i promise to get my head back in the game next year after a bit of a break and hopefully a few less things at home to worry about.</div>

You're it! at Southern Girls Challenge!!Goodevening. I apologise for my blogging hiatus... I have made a couple of cards but forget to post them..

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created a card <span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Coming Soon"; font-size: 17.6px;">using </span><a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/sticks-bones-design-sheet-1-digital-craft-download/" style="background-color: white; color: #53c59b; font-family: "Coming Soon"; font-size: 17.6px; text-decoration-line: none;">Sticks and Bones Design sheet 1</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Coming Soon"; font-size: 17.6px;"> from Polkadoodles</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the images, tags and sentiments are pre-coloured and all I really added was the raffia on the tag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These design sheets are great for when you run out of time or if you're texta's are all drying up (which is the case with me)</div>

I have been studying and working and was feeling swamped so took a couple of months off from making cards... I actually didn't realize how much I missed it till I made this card the other night. Very last minute but I got it done and was very happy with it.<br />
So hopefully I can make these posts a regular thing. I am hoping to start crafting a bit more but will see what happens..<br />
Anyway we are here for the new <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/">Southern Girls challenge</a> and this fortnight it' an easy one... Anything Goes. We are sponsored by<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a tent card and used papers from my paper stash. I am not sure where these papers are from. I used a circle die to cut out the middle to create a window. I added Rory - Life is Grand which was coloured with tria markers. Then I die cut the heart embellishments and added the rhinestones. I left it at that as I didn't think it needed anything else.</div>

I coloured in Little Flower Fairy with tria markers chameleon pens, copics and twinkling H20's. I diecue the frame and the butterflies ad the leaves. I then added the perfect pearl/ I also did some paper piercing but it was terribly crooked (even with the ruler).</div>

I used <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/399810709/amy-in-the-garden-digital-stamps-by?ga_search_query=amy+in+the+garden&ref=shop_items_search_1" style="background-color: white; color: #53c59b; font-family: Pacifico; font-size: 17.6px; text-decoration-line: none;">Amy in the Garden from Sasayaki Glitter</a>. I coloured her in with tria markers (but I do apologise for my terrible colouring - It's been awhile) I used scraps of paper that I have in my paper stash and added some butterflies and flowers for the nature element to go with the image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope that you can join our nature challenge at <b><a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/">Southern Girls Challenge</a></b> and I look forward to popping around to see what you have created.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured Rory in with tria markers. I added kindyglitz to the paper and only added a few embellishments as I thought the paper was busy enough...</div>

Being on one design team has made me a little lazy in the crafting department... Next year hopefully I will have a little more time to make cards for fun as I will only be working three days a week.<br />
Anyway, it is time for a new challenge at <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/">Southern Girls challenge</a> and we would like to see sticky things on your creation.. as long as the back is sticky, it counts.<br />
This fortnight we are sponsored by<br />

I used a pre-coloured image and background from <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=717">The Paper Shelter called Halloween Rules</a>. It was a freebie this week. I made my own sticker using Jac paper which I put through my Brother Scan n Cut. Then I added glitter. I just added buttons to finish off the card.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our challenge to you is to make a shaker card or a card with a movable object.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my first time making a shaker card and i am not sure I am overly happy with my first attempt but it's a start.</div>

As always I only coloured the image minimally cos i just don't think my colouring would do it justice. I cut the crown out with my brother cut n scan and added the stars and glitter (which I regretted after I added it). I added the rhinestones around the crown then I added rubons onto the black card stock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Another month gone, another month closer to Christmas... Time is just flying by which brings us to a new challenge at <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/">Southern Girls challenge</a>. This fortnight we would like you to "Add some Stamping" to your creations.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved this challenge as I got to colour one of my many stamps that I have either never coloured up or haven't for a very long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s2cDLDb1m1I/WYl-sp_vwUI/AAAAAAAAIjg/fhEUiBR0InoG37aVKriBgMveDKyZwe6zACLcBGAs/s400/20170808_154625.jpg" width="275" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided to colour up my favourite Magnolia stamp Tilda with cute skirt. She is just adorable and I love colouring her up.I kept the card pretty simple. I created the background behind Tilda using distress inks, then I used a swirled background stamp which I embossed with embossing powder that I have not used for a very long time. With the scraps left over from the background I punched out some flowers, made the ledge Tilda is sitting on and added the sentiment. I then just added lots of rhinestones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope that you will join us for this fab challenge at <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/">Southern Girls Challenge</a>.</div>

As you may know I am part of a few design teams - The Digi Bell's, Craft Your Passion and Southern Girls Challenge. Well Craft Your Passion just never started back up after the Christmas break. Lisa who was running the blog just disappeared and never returned so i am hoping that she is ok and just decided life was too busy.. Then in the last month we decided that The Digi Bell's would take a break from designing while Elisabeth Bell spent some time creating. So I am only designing for The Southern Girls challenge which I only do once a month so posts at the moment are only that often. I would love to make more cards and get creative again but I have had a few health issues that I am still dealing with so hopefully in the not to distance future I will get creative again.<br />
<br />
So now it is time to start our new challenge at <b><a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/">Southern Girls challenge</a></b>. Our theme is Tic Tac Toe<br />
<br />

I coloured Rory in with Tria markers and added a rhinestone to the flower on her hat. I used kaisercraft papers and used a border punch for the decorative edges. I then die cut some butterflies out, added the hearts and the rhinestones.

It is my turn to post over on <b><a href="http://digibellsdt.blogspot.com.au/">The Digi Bell's blog</a></b> and it is certainly long overdue. I must sincerely apologise.. I know this has become a regular occurrence but I truly just am just forgetful...<br />

Anyway I am here and I absolutely love the card I just created. I am also going to use this as my <b><a href="http://elisabethbellsworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/">Elisabeth Bell's World challenge</a></b> card as the theme is "All about Butterflies". </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured this adorable image in with tria markers and chameleon pens (which I haven't got the hang of using yet). I used papers from a kaisercraft paper pad (happy snaps) to create the sign, inked the word adore and covered it in crystal effects, added some rhinestones to the butterfly and added the button to finish it off. That is it from me... If you would like this image now then head on over to <b><a href="http://www.elisabethbell.com/digital-collection">Elisabeth Bell's digi collection</a></b> or just continue on with the hop for your chance to win this adorable image. It's now time to head on over to <b><a href="http://pysselbus.blogspot.%20com/">Linda's blog</a>.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Happy Hopping</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Wanda Wicked from Kenny K which was a pre-coloured image (because at the time I thought I'd left things till the last minute but as it turned out I was a month ahead of myself)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So i found the web background in my digi stash and added colour burst colours to it. I found the web ribbon in my ribbon stash then die cut the image out and the black square behind it.. I inked around the image then just added the button..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that's it from me.. head on over to the<b><a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/"> Southern Girls blog</a></b> to check out all the talented DT creations.</div>

Hello everyone... Still playing catch up so thought I would share my die exchange gift I received off my DT mate <b><a href="http://justcoffeepleasestampsribbonspaper.blogspot.com.au/">Jennifer Scull</a></b>. She went above and beyond and really spoilt me with her beautiful card and very generous gift.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the beautiful card Jennifer made</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="360" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2MlWCk7PuNg/WHD8M6n6QzI/AAAAAAAARQs/zngTqvSKVYEltFpFn9Dq85R-PFbOyCywwCLcB/s400/IMG_20161206_184749404.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the fabulous gift I received.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SzBvYkfswtg/WLV3d4ydMNI/AAAAAAAAIgg/QO4u9itOjYszQByVNMPfMIWjCHAYOjcAwCLcB/s1600/20170228_234423.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="516" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SzBvYkfswtg/WLV3d4ydMNI/AAAAAAAAIgg/QO4u9itOjYszQByVNMPfMIWjCHAYOjcAwCLcB/s640/20170228_234423.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Look at all those fabulous dies and i didn't have any of them which is awesome. In fact I have been wanting a balloon die for ages so was so excited when I saw that die. And the stamp was a bonus as at the time I had issues with my printer so<a href="http://justcoffeepleasestampsribbonspaper.blogspot.com.au/"> Jennifer</a> was very thoughtful and sent the stamp so that I always have an Elisabeth Bell image on hand.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So thank you so much <a href="http://justcoffeepleasestampsribbonspaper.blogspot.com.au/">Jennifer</a> for your generosity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely loved my card and gift... </div>

It is time for a new challenge at <b><a href="http://elisabethbellsworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/">Elisabeth Bell's World</a></b> and this month our challenge for you is to use your favourite Elisabeth Bell image... Well this was a super hard challenge for me because I have so many favourites. I chose to use <b><a href="http://www.elisabethbell.com/freebies">Fashionably Cute</a></b> (which was a freebie when I signed up to Elisabeth Bell's creative e-boo because she can be used for a number of occasions and she is fun to colour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-exOoesmdcW4/WLFLyeDfTzI/AAAAAAAAIgM/7wn9X_1DAJgYdm54CKAWSrkLL2ZVNVmSgCLcB/s1600/20170223_233852.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-exOoesmdcW4/WLFLyeDfTzI/AAAAAAAAIgM/7wn9X_1DAJgYdm54CKAWSrkLL2ZVNVmSgCLcB/s320/20170223_233852.jpg" width="314" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used tria markers to colour <a href="http://www.elisabethbell.com/freebies" style="font-weight: bold;">Fashionably Cute</a> and decided to go with a white, blue and yellow theme. I punched out some hexagons to go with the backing paper (which does have hexagons on it but you can't really see them in this pic). I then just added a few embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that you can join us this month at <b><a href="http://elisabethbellsworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/">Elisabeth Bell's World</a></b>. Remember you can use any Elisabeth Bell image whether it be a digi or a rubber stamp.</div>

Not sure what happened there... I know one of my design teams is not currently running but I think I've just forgotten about the others... So apologies. So much for being on top of things this year.<br />
Anyway, here I am for our new challenge at <b><a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/">Southern Girls Challenge</a></b>. Our theme this month is Nature and we are sponsored by<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose this set because I knew I would be short for time this month and as it was I made the wrong card so lucky I did have this set so I could quickly put it together. So everything was pre-coloured so it was just a matter of cutting everything out and putting it together.</div>

I am having a bit of a slack day hence why my post is late... found a great book to read so read half of it this morning.<br />
Anyway, our new challenge at <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/"><b>Southern Girls</b></a> is Buttons and/or Brads (something I think we all have in our craft stash. I personally have an addiction to Buttons and flowers so this was an easy one for me..<br />
We have two wonderful sponsors this challenge<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my second attempt at colouring this image, I originally coloured the hair but it looked rubbish so decided to leave it as is. I used twinkling H20's to colour the image (something I don't use very often) I created the paper with some digi papers I have in my digi stash, then I added all the embellishments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a nice easy challenge so be sure to join us at<a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/"> <b>Southern Girls challenge</b></a>. be sure to pop over to he blog to see what the rest of the DT have created... </div>

I took a month off due to school holidays here in Australia but now I'm back into the swing of things (albeit a little late as usual)<br />
Our first challenge of the year is a nice easy one - Hearts and Lace /Anything Goes....<br />
I used Spring Peeker which was a freebie I recently received from Elisabeth Bell as I am signed up to her <a href="http://ebell.sendlane.com/view/your-creative-genius">Creative E-book</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Y-D_RpSYLs/WIlUCc84J3I/AAAAAAAAIe8/RNGv1ZrrqgcXq8RTtByrLBykwxhoMspJQCLcB/s1600/20170125_203824.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Y-D_RpSYLs/WIlUCc84J3I/AAAAAAAAIe8/RNGv1ZrrqgcXq8RTtByrLBykwxhoMspJQCLcB/s400/20170125_203824.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I coloured Spring Peeker in with tria markers and fussy cut her out. I went through my paper scrap stash and found these squares that were perfect for the challenge. I added the lace down the bottom and I found the heart charm and brad in amongst all my embellishments.<br />
I hope that you can join us this month for our Elisabeth Bell challenge. remember that you can use any Elisabeth Bell image in your crafty stash.<br />
