Happy Easter

It's the wonderful Brenda's turn hosting our latest Little Red Wagon challenge and she's calling out to us to "Use a Stencil". 

I have a number of stencils in my stash although I'm not sure whether or not I've ever used this Simon Says Stamp "Oval of Flowers" before. As I've been feeling rather under the weather with headaches over the past number of days, I decided to create something fairly simple. In addition to the stencil, I used a bunny and sentiment from Reverse Confetti and a frame from My Favorite Things.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the rest of the Girlfriends used stencils on their projects. We'd love for you to join us too!

Happy Birthday to You

Janice is hosting at Little Red Wagon this week and she's selected "Off the edge" for this week's challenge. Jan is hoping to see elements extend off the card base or project page, etc. 

While I typically like everything contained within my card space, I have had a few instances where I've gone "off the edge". I made this card for my aunty who will be having a birthday next month. Fortunately, I have some slightly larger than A2-sized envelopes so no elements will be harmed in the posting of my card.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the other Girlfriends have gone "off the edge" - and then link up a project of your own!

I Really Love You

Happy Valentine's Day! May your day be full of love and blessings.

The talented Chrissy is this week's Little Red Wagon hostess and she's chosen "Valentine's Day - Show us some love" as the challenge theme.

I created a masculine card which can be used for Valentine's Day or any day really! With the exception of the tiny heart made with a little paper punch, I used a variety of My Favorite Things dies, mixing two different sets (I Really Miss You and Love) to create the sentiment. I also used an ancient Cuttlebug embossing folder for the off-white mat. 

Head over to Little Red Wagon to experience all the love there - and then join up your own Valentine's Day/Love project. 

PS For those of you who follow a Lenten practice, may you be blessed along your journey to grace and light. 💕

Birthday Blessings Beautiful

It's the wonderful Imke's turn to host this week's Little Red Wagon challenge and she wants to see numbers. Whether it's a number for a birthday, anniversary, countdown or anything else, add it to your project!

Even though my daughter's birthday isn't until August, I decided to work ahead and make a card for her special day. I cannot believe that my girl is going to be 30 this year!! I used some of the leftover papers from last week's treat boxes. The little wooden embellishment behind the number 30 was part of a set of wooden embellishments I found in my stocking - and I'm pretty sure my daughter helped Santa find them!!

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the other Girlfriends included numbers in their projects - and then link up your creation too!
