Are you ready to 'Get your girly on"?

I am excited to reveal my first project for Southern Girls Challenge!  The new Team Lou is starting off with a bang! Are you ready to "Get Your Girly On"? If so, please join us for the latest SGC challenge! Check out their blog HERE to view our wonderful sponsors and prizes! Also don't forget to link up your projects!

Here is my "Girly" project using a image from DTs Arts:

Supplies:

October Afternoon - Modern Homemaker

DTs Art Digi Stamp

Recollection Brads

When I saw this image I knew right away that I was going to use it to make my niece's birthday card! I am not much of a colorer, so I paper-pieced the image using a variety of papers.

A simple card to share and an amazing announcement!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! Is your house full have chocolates and other candy, that you wish were not there? (I ask that while snacking on Reese's peanut butter eggs. This is not the right time to be doing Weight Watchers!)

So what should I share with you first...card or announcement, announcement or card?

Let's start with...

Spring is in the air!

Who else loves this time of year? Spring, how I love thee...and miss thee! Spring lasts all but what seems like a day here in Texas. Temps already near 90 degrees and the humidity that makes it not pleasant to be outside! I usually have a few days that I can open all the windows and air-out the house, but not this year!  But if that is the worst thing I can complain about, then life is good and I will now shut my mouth!

I came across one of Jillibean Soup's new collections--Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup--and had to buy it!  I love the softness of the colors, PERFECT for Spring!

Here is the card I made (well, one of the cards) using this cute collection:

Supplies:

Recollection Kraft Cardstock

Jillibean Soup - Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup

EK Success Border Punch - Notebook

Fiskars Large Tag Punch

Studio G Stamp

Paper Studio Ink

Pop-dots

I showed my husband this card and he asked if it was a Mother's Day card. It never crossed my mind that the saying would be great for that occassion! Is it not amazing what another pair of eyes will see...let alone a male's ;)

Hope everyone has a great day and finds some time to craft!
