Santa Gnome Treats

It's hard to believe that this is the final Little Red Wagon challenge of 2024. Where has the time gone? The wonderful Imke is our hostess this week and she's wishing us all a "Merry Christmas" and is looking to see Christmas projects. From cards to tags, scrapbook pages and treat holders to any other sort of paper craft, we'd love to see what you make for this festive season.

I used a generic Santa Gnome die set to create my little guys, each holding a Lindt chocolate. The die cut is actually meant to hold a lollipop but I cut each gnome twice, attaching the second cut behind the front one. I'm happy with the way they turned out and there will be a gnome at each place setting at our Christmas dinner.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the Christmas projects. And, in the tradition of my faith, I wish you a very happy Christmas!

Action Wobble - Camel

It's my last time hosting at Little Red Wagon this year. All through 2024, I've used Def Leppard hits to inspire the challenge themes. This time, it's "Action" and I'm challenging all to create something with action, When there is literal action/movement on your creation or you've used a picture/image of something that is known for action (e.g., a vehicle, Santa's sleigh, an animal, etc.), I'd love for you to link up!

My sister's birthday is today and I've made this birthday card for her. I call her "Kami" which is actually a nickname based on "camel". I call her this as I often end up asking her to hold my bags and things when we're out and about so I can snap photos, grab a snack, etc. Then, due to being easily distracted, I move along without taking my things back. Kami then asks if I think she's my camel, carrying all my things. Anyway, I try to give her camel-related cards and gifts and this year is no exception. The paper-pieced camel is on an Action Wobble - a supply that has seen no action in my craft room for ages!

I filmed this short video showing the wobbling camel in action. The music playing is Def Leppard's Action! 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the "Action" projects - and then link up one of your own!

NOEL Tags and Shortbread Packages

Brenda is hosting our Little Red Wagon Challenge and she's calling out, "Tag! You're It!" Brenda is looking for tags. Whether the tag is the creation or your creation uses a tag in some way, we'd love to see what you've made!

Each year, I spend a day with one of my good friends baking and decorating fancy shortbread cookies. We make dozens and dozens of them! I like to prepare small bags to give as little gifts and created a set of tags to go on this year's bags. I used punches for the tags and the greenery. The tags were embossed with snowflakes and I heat-embossed the NOEL sentiment (from My Craft Spot, no longer in business). Now, I've got a few bags ready to grab when needed. Others get packaged in tins with the rest of my baking or on a large cookie tray for dinners and get-togethers. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the tags. We'd love for you to join our "Tag! You're It!" challenge too!
