Southern Girls 1st Birthday Blog Hop



Good morning Blogging Beauties,

Today is a very exciting day!  Southern Girls is one year old.
Can you believe it and what a fantastic year it has been with the support from all our wonderful sponsors, and to be on the best Design Team anyone could wish for.

In celebration of this, we have an amazing bloghop with some of our fantastic regular sponsors giving away fabulous prizes. You should have arrived from Lou's, if not, head back to www.southerngirlschallenges.blogspot.com where a full blog hop list is.


In my card I have used a cute little digi image from Simply Betty. He is called Tangled Jude and he is on special for $1.50.  If you want him you can get him here.  Our theme for the hop is birthday and my image looks a little more Christmassy I know....but I decided to make him into a birthday card for someone who has their birthday on Christmas day.  A special birthday card with a Christmas theme.  (I think it could be in my stash for awhile before he finds his next home, but I am okay with that because I like him.  I think he is quite cute!!)  Also for our theme you have to include layers.  I made sure I had heaps and heaps of layers on my card.
simplybettystamps.com
There are loads of prizes to be won and each DT member on the blog hop has a prize to share.
My prize is from Simply Betty.  She is giving away 3 digital images to one lucky lady who 1 - comments on my blog and 2 - enters the challenge at Southern Girls.
So, to recap.... the rules are simple, make sure you make a card and enter on Southern Girls Challenges, also leave me a comment, and on the 20th of September I will draw a random name, that will win the three Simply Betty digital images. 

Now you need to head over to Autumn's blog. 


Thanks for stopping by my blog...dont forget to leave a comment and make your card!
You have a fortnight to get your entries in.

Enjoy the hop.

I think he makes for a fantastic birthday dude! I'm thinking he could be colored in orange/purple/black for a Halloween type of card. May just have to go and get him...
