Hello (Signs of Spring)

It’s the incredible Brenda’s turn to host at Little  Red Wagon this week and she is looking for signs of spring.

Nothing says spring to me like daffodils! They are my favourite flower and I look forward to them poking up in my garden each spring. Our ground is still covered in white here. Although we did have a fair bit of melting last week, We had quite a dumping of snow on Monday. I used the variety of older products to put my card together.

Please head over to Little  Red Wagon and see all the signs of spring being shared by the rest of the Girlfriends!

If Things Improve with Age

It's the fabulous Janice's turn to host our latest Little Red Wagon challenge and I think she must have been humming along with Tom Cochrane as she's chosen "Boy Inside the Man" for this week's theme. Essentially, create something with or for a boy or man.

I pulled out the Old Friends stamp set from My Favorite Things for the image and sentiment. I used a generic die set for the wonky frames and a number embossing folder. There's a curly border cut using a My Craft Spot die too. Other than having an argument with my glue bottle (I eventually won after bringing in some pins, needles and scissors recruits), the card went together fairly simply. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends created. You're always invited to join the fun as well! 

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!
