Southern Girls Challenge ~ Team Trace

Hi Everyone!!  I was chosen to be on the Southern Girls Challenge Design Team for 2020!!  

So excited as the sponsors are amazing!!  It's super fun to play with different companies!!

Here is my first post with this fun group!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Welcome to our first challenge of the New Year.

Thanks for joining us for our challenge.

This year is going to be a little different for Southern Girls.

All our challenges are going to be ANYTHING GOES!

Which is exciting as it makes it easy for everyone to enter but it does mean a rule change.

From this challenge on you may only enter 2 projects in any challenge.

The same as previously still applies that if you are based in NZ or AUS you go in the special draw.  BUT you do need to add the country code on your entry to be eligible.

We are still open papercraft so anything paper is fine to enter.

Again thank you for wanting to play along with us and we look forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks to our fantastic sponsors for this challenge....

For my first card, I used All Dressed Up ~ Just So Cool.  Isn't she just "so cool"!  I had the perfect paper to go along with her style ~ Bella Blvd. Addison Collection.  I did cut out the digital image on my Silhouette Cameo before coloring her as I wanted her to pop off the card.

For my next card, I used Newton's Nook Designs ~ Fancy Edges Tag Die Set and Newton's Birdhouse.  Oh my Newton's Nook has super cute stamps and dies!!  I really like their Fancy Edges Tag as there are so many ways to use it.  I cut the tag out twice, then used the zigzag edge die to mimic grass underneath Newton.  This stamp set Newton's Birdhouse reminded me of our cat and how he sits under bird feeder so wanted to color this stamp up!  Love how it came out!

Our Elf

Every December 1st our Elf on the Shelf Stealth comes to our house then goes back to the North Pole the evening of December 24th.  Him and his Buddy reindeer pull shenanigans, play games and leave treats for the kids.  We always wake up each morning to see what they have done!  My kids are older now but still like to see what he does.  My Mom also is a huge fan of Stealth's and misses him when he's gone.  #nevertooold    Here is a layout I created showcasing our elf.

Products Used:

Paper and Embellishments: Doodlebug Designs ~ Christmas Magic

Our Elf Title:  Paper Issues ~ Elf Love

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
