Southern Girls Challenge is into our second challenge for 2017 and the first for Team Lou for this year.
Team Lou has 2 new faces joining us for 2017.
Please join me in welcoming Tracy M & Karen R to team Lou and the SGC team.
We are so stoked to have them joining the team!

In 2017 we are trying something a little different, every so often we will be having a RETRO challenge.
These challenges are designed to have you dig into your stash and get rid of some of those older supplies that might be hanging around unloved.

For this fortnights challenge we would love to see you use some Buttons and or Brads on your projects.  Remember we are not just a card blog, we love to see scrapbook layouts, artjournal pages and all types of papercraft.

OMG - So Freaking Excited!!!!!! Big News!!

Righty - so as some of you may know, last year I cut my DT commitments hugely and I was only on 2 teams.
The workload was perfect, fitting in with home and kiddie commitments perfectly.
THEN, I saw a DT call at Colour Crazy Craft Challenge,
a new challenge which came about because of a shop closing.
Nikki Hall of Polkadoodles fame decided to combine 2 existing challenges and came up with 
Colour Crazy Craft Challenge

The combined team needed a few extras to make up 4 sub teams and I am so excited to say 

I am on the team :)

The challenge is up and running so be sure to go and check it out.
My first challenge will be on the 29th so be sure to check back then.
