Let's Do Coffee

This week, the talented Chrissy is hosting over at Little Red Wagon. She's chosen the theme "anything neutral in colour". Whether you make a card, tag, ATC, bookmark or anything else with paper, use neutral colours.

I used dark and light greys with white to create my zebra card. The little zebra is from a My Favorite Things stamp set and the sentiment is from a set I received years ago with no packaging. The little wreath is a generic die. I embossed the mat and added a little scalloped die cut with heart to finish things off.

Happy Easter

The wonderful Imke is hosting this week's Little Red Wagon challenge. Last year, Imke started working her way through the alphabet for her challenge themes and she's continuing to do so this year. This week, it's "K is for Keep It Simple". Personally, I think "K is for Kate" would have been an awesome theme but alas, it's not to be. 

Seriously though, Keep It Simple turned out to be a blessing as the past few weeks have been incredibly busy. Keeping things simple meant I could still spend time in my craft room for just a bit without ignoring other things. 

I decided to do some ink blending using an old Simon Says Stamp egg stencil. The sentiment is one from Reverse Confetti (no longer in business).

Be a Dreamer and a Doer

It's my first time hosting a Little Red Wagon challenge in 2026! This year, I'm being inspired by the works of Billy Joel as I make up challenges for our paper-crafting projects. I've chosen "River of Dreams" for this week and I'm looking for anything to do with dreams, nighttime, etc.

I use Happy Planners both at work and at home. I'd be lost without my planners! I use a calendar and reminder app on my phone as well, and a digital calendar for my work appointments, but love using paper planners to keep myself as organized as I can be. For our "River of Dreams" challenge this week, I did a Happy Planner layout using a few different stickers on the theme of dreaming. By the time you're reading this, there will be writing all over the layout!!

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the rest of the Girlfriends have interpreted the challenge. I'd love to have you join in as well!

Enjoy Your New Home

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Little Red Wagon challenge of 2026. Brenda is starting this off with a "Happy New..." (choose your own ending) challenge. Whether you decide to go with the new year, a new baby, new car, new job, etc., you're good to join us!

As my mum recently moved into a new home, I made this card for her. The image is from a free online Crayola colouring page. I did some editing in Canva to remove the clouds and added my own sentiment. I used a generic wonky die set for the mats and a die from My Craft Spot (out of business) for the little spiral. I finished things off by punching out three little hearts. 

Please head to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the "Happy New..." creations. As always, we would love for you to join us too!
