Ghosts and Goblins

Doni is our fabulous hostess at Little Red Wagon this week and she's calling out, "Boo!" It's not that she's trying to scare us (at least, I don't think so!) but she'd like to see us create something for Hallowe'en. 

I had fun inking up my background for my card. I also pulled out some of my old My Craft Spot products which I still absolutely love! I used silver embossing for my word art but am thinking that it might have been better to simply use black ink. I do like the embossing. It just makes things trickier to read, especially in the photo! However, tricks are all part of Hallowe'en so perhaps I'm good!

The word art reads:

Ghosts and Goblins

spooks galore

Scary witches

at your door

Jack-O-Lanterns

smiling bright

Wishing you

a haunting night

Happy Birthday Beautiful

Imke is hosting this week's challenge at Little Red Wagon and she's looking for "Things beginning with the letter B". There are so many possibilities here! Bears and butterflies, badgers and baseballs, breakfast and bottles and babies and bluebells! Well, you get the idea!

I decided to go with balloons - but not just any balloons - Big Balloons on a Birthday card for a Beautiful friend! I used my NBUS Big Balloons stencil and really like how this came together. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to check out all the B creations from the Girlfriends - and then link up your own "Things beginning with B" projects to join the fun!

I'm So Glad You Exist

It's time for our newest Little Red Wagon challenge and I'm the lucky hostess this week! I've chosen the theme "It's Magical" and I'm looking for anything to do with magic, fantasy or make believe. Other than a make-believe project which doesn't exist anywhere other than in your mind so can't be linked up, pretty much anything you can imagine would fit the bill! From dragons and fairies to green tigers and purple lions!

I decided to use a unicorn for my card which I made for my mum. She's an incredible person and I am so blessed to have her in my life. She's also got a fair bit of Scottish blood as her mum was Scottish so I thought a unicorn would be a fitting touch. The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland!

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends have created - and then join in the fun with your own magical and fantastical project! I can't wait to visit your blogs and see what you've created!

Eat, Sleep, Play Hockey

Although Brenda is our hostess at Little Red Wagon this week, it was actually Jan's son who chose the theme. Apparently, he's quite a fan of hockey. One day, Janice left the challenge list open and her son updated this week's challenge to "Greatest Hockey Card Ever". At least, I think that's how the story goes. I would imagine that Jan will have the full details on her blog and will share them in her typical humorous way. 

The Canadian in me - and my desire to play along with Jan's son - couldn't resist creating a hockey card. However, Brenda is actually looking for any sports-themed card. You could do swimming, skating, basketball, golfing, bowling, hiking or even my favourite sport, shopping! My fun little Canadian hockey player is a stamp from Your Next Stamp. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends have created. Then pull out your sports-themed supplies and put something together for our challenge!
