Southern Girls Challenge - New Beginnings (Team Lou)

Happy New Year!  This is the first Southern Girls Challenge of the new year.  The theme is "New Beginnings"  In the new year, I am trying to use up my supplies rather than hoard them, so my new beginning is to color white pearls to match the color scheme rather than buy something new.  The white frame, the coral die cut, the birthday tag and the embossed bg paper were all on my mess of a desk, so I just trimmed them and used them!  How cool is that?!?!  I love when that happens - a little less to put away.  Wink of Stella and Stickles are used to add sparkle in all of the right places.

This challenge is sponsored by Lacy Sunshine.  I am enamored with the big eyes on their girls!  This cutie is called Lovee Ethereal Enchantress and she would be wonderful for so many occasions.  I decided to use mine for a birthday, but the hearts make her a perfect image for Valentine's Day.

It seems like a while since my last Southern Girls post, so I'm glad to be back!  In 2015, we have a new look to our blog header and we'll have a new challenge every fortnight (two weeks), so you'll see more from each team. Take a couple of minutes and pop over to the Southern Girls Blog to be inspired by the rest of Team Lou!  We'd love to have you play along!

  3. Ooh Cathy! Delish doesn't even begin to cover this!! I LOVE your sweet card and how fab that it came together from bits you already had on your desk. Love when that happens! I adore the finish you've given the image, your colouring is perfect and the colours really are delish. The pearls look fab too! Good job on colouring them, there really is so much you can do with alcohol markers!! Hugs, Wends xxx
