Happy Birthday

It's Imke's turn to host our challenge at Little Red Wagon this week and she wants to see "Black and White Plus One". Essentially, anything goes as long as your colour scheme sticks to black, white and one other colour.

I recently purchased a generic "Happy Birthday" word die and shadow die so put it to use with some black and white patterned paper, some white cardstock and some pink cardstock. The pink frame is cut using a die from My Favorite Things. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see what colours the other Girlfriends have chosen to go along with black and white. We'd love for you to link up your own creations too!

Hallowe'en Treat Bags

I'm delighted to be hosting this week's challenge at Little Red Wagon. In keeping with themes inspired by Def Leppard this year, I've chosen "Lady Strange". Essentially, I'm looking for anything unique - such as repurposed items, unusual embellishments, etc.

We had some leftover medical gauze from my son's finger amputation this summer and I thought it would be fun to use some up on some Hallowe'en treat bags. Think mummies! I used a spooky fence border punch for the bottom strip and a Jaded Blossom die cut with haunted house patterned paper for the toppers. All treats went through my own personal quality control and I can vouch for their yumminess - especially the Reese's Cup Thins. 

I'd love for you to join this week's challenge. Head over to Little Red Wagon for more inspiration and to link up your own creation!
