The wonderfully talented Chrissy is our hostess at Little Red Wagon this week and her challenge theme for us is "Christmas Cards". And, because it's Christmas, Chrissy has let us all know that any sort of paper project will work - as long as it has something to do with Christmas!

I made a card using a generic nativity ornament die that I purchased earlier this year. I had to use two shims for all the detailing to cut but it was worth it. I'm happy with the finished cut. And I used a generic word die for the sentiment. The papers are from a pack I purchased long ago. I inked the edges and also added a bit of sparkle to the star and infant Christ child's halo. The sparkle looks better in person. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the Christmas creations. We would love for you to join the challenge too!

Thanks (One Word Card)

Imke is hosting this week's challenge at Little Red Wagon. She's been working through the alphabet this year and we're now at J. Imke has decided that J is for Just One Word! Whatever you created (a card, a scrapbook page, a bookmark, etc.), be sure that the sentiment/title has just one word.

I made some thank you cards to show my appreciation for some wedding gifts we received. We asked people to donate to our local food security initiative as that's a cause close to my heart. A few people also gave us some items to open as well. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the Girlfriends' creations. What word will you choose when you join the challenge?

With Deepest Sympathy

Hello from Saint Kitts! John and I are on the final week of our honeymoon, staying in a condo right by the Atlantic Ocean. It is going to be difficult to head back to the cold and snow on Saturday!

This is my final time hosting at Little Red Wagon this year and I am continuing with challenges inspired by the works of Elton John. This week, it is Sad Songs (Say So Much) and I am looking anything related to sympathy.

I created this card with a stamp set from My Favorite Things. This stamp seems to be a go to for me for sympathy cards.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends have created. I would love for you to join us as well!

Here’s a photo of my “backyard“ this week. The ocean is right behind me.

Thank You

It is the wonderful Brenda’s turn to host at Little Red Wagon this week and she has chosen the theme “Pearls & Sequins & Gems! Oh my!”

I created this card using a wooden embellishment repurposed from a gift bag received several years ago. The gems were already there! I am embossed the background mat and voilà! 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see all the other pearls & sequins & gems on the girlfriends’ creations. We would love for you to join this week‘s challenge as well!

Seasons Tweetings

Hello from sunny and warm Bahamas! My new husband, John, and I are currently on our honeymoon. We are cruising around the beautiful islands of the Bahamas this week. Before we left, I made several cards as we will be gone for three weeks. I did not have much time as I was also preparing for our wedding so I will have some fairly simple cards to share for the next bit.

Janice is our wonderful hostess at Little Red Wagon this week and she is looking for things that fly. I put together this little card using an old set from Lawn Fawn. It was only after I went to crop the photo that I took at home last week that I realized the little bird and scalloped squares are squint. There is nothing I can do about that now!

Please head over to Little Red Wagon n to see what the rest of the girlfriends have created. We would love you to link up a project with something that flies as well. Think birds, planes, hot air, balloon, balloons, butterflies, etc.

Here’s a photo from Friday night. 💕
