Handmade Paper Charms with Distressing


For products used on my cards

SHOP HERE

So today I have some bad but good news. For those of you who have been following my crazy life. I am making some important choices and alterations in my life. So this will be my last post with the Southern Girls. They are quite a bunch of wonderful women. I really love having friends all over the world as we all live such different lives. I really love all the advice I get for my crazy two year old and I just love knowing women that love doing the same thing I do.

They will be having a Design Team Call next month!!! The term is 6 months so get ready they have tons of fun sponsors and challenges ahead!

So here is my last post for the 



our theme this week is 

"So Distressing"

The sponsors for this challenge are

So for my card I used a Kenny K image (Super Mom). I swear that is me (I just don't wear an apron, and I don't wear high heels anymore either). Having a child has definitely changed my life in a complete 180 so I love this image. I wanted to brighten it up as Spring is fast approaching. I used a new pad from Crate  Paper and some flowers from a Prima tin bundled by a pink flower brad. 



I colored the image with copics and used some ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used a $1 sentiment stamp from Michael's dollar bin and hand cut it out to look like a banner. I also used liquid pearls to add a pearl to her earring.... Pearls are the next best thing to diamonds! I really hope you like the card and remember you have two weeks to play!

The second challenge of the day would be 



Our colors this challenge are by Sabrina

lilac, blue, kraft, white, plus handmade paper charms

Your colouring is fantastic Shanna. Love the sparkly bright and vibrant look I get when looking at this supermom card. Sorry to see you go, I am sticking through SG throughout this period and then I am finished as well;) Love to create but just can't seem to get enough time for all;) Loving the CAS design of Colour Create as well. Big hugs Bettina xx
