Cat Happy Planner Layout

Chrissy is hosting at Little Red Wagon this week and she wants us to include an animal on our projects.

I love cats and have three who share my home and my heart: Skimbleshanks, Watson and Nile. I have a number of cat-themed items in my home and office, including an entire pack of Happy Planner cat stickers for my planner. I decided to put some of those stickers to use for this week's challenge. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the rest of the Girlfriends have used animals on their projects. We'd love for you to join us with an animal-inspired project of your own! 

Hello (Scraps) Card

It's Imke's turn to host at Little Red Wagon this week. She's continuing to work through the alphabet and she's reached the letter L as in L for Leftovers. 

I used all scraps for my card. The card base wasn't really scraps but it was the other half of a piece of cardstock used for another card base. 

Head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the rest of the Girlfriends have used scraps to create something fabulous. We'd love for you to do the same and link up your project too! 

Happy Purr-thday

Happy Wednesday from a very snowy part of the world. We've had warmer temperatures the past few days with some melting of our mounds of snow. However, we're in for another dumping today. 

I'm hosting at Little Red Wagon with another Billy Joel inspired challenge. This time, I've chosen "Just the Way You Are" and I'm asking crafters to create something that celebrates another. Think birthdays, retirements, love and graduations. There are so many opportunities to celebrate others!

I needed a birthday card so that's what I created. I used products from a variety of companies. Most of my card is stenciled although I did stamp the cat and sentiment and hand drew the balloon string. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the creations! 

Happy Valentine’s Day

Jan is hosting at Little Red Wagon and she’s picturing love. Create anything that has to do with love and you’re good to go! With it being February, there’s love all around and lots of places to look for inspiration.

I used a pack of washi tape to create my card. The darker strip is actually metallic red even though it does not look like that in the photo.  The sentiment is a stamp from My Craft Spot (no longer in business) and I used a Martha Stewart punch for the three hearts which I popped on top. Voilà!

Like I mentioned above, there are lots of places to look for inspiration this month - like Little Red Wagon! Head on over to see what the rest of the girlfriends have created, and then link up a love project of your own!

Let's Do Coffee

This week, the talented Chrissy is hosting over at Little Red Wagon. She's chosen the theme "anything neutral in colour". Whether you make a card, tag, ATC, bookmark or anything else with paper, use neutral colours.

I used dark and light greys with white to create my zebra card. The little zebra is from a My Favorite Things stamp set and the sentiment is from a set I received years ago with no packaging. The little wreath is a generic die. I embossed the mat and added a little scalloped die cut with heart to finish things off. 

Head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends have created. We'd love for you to join us too!
