Long-Distance Hug

Jan is hosting at Little Red Wagon this week and she is looking for “One Thing”. Essentially, choose an element and use just one of it! Or maybe your project  has only one element. Or a scrapbook page devoted to one item. So many possibilities!

Typically, when I decide to use an embellishment on a card, I include more than one. However, this time my card contains only one element - a little wooden heart received years ago from My Favorite Things. I also embossed one frame using a little folder that I have had for probably 15+  years and I am not really sure if I have ever even used it before. I am finding that I am discovering all sorts of treasures as I unpack following our move.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the Girlfriends interpreted the challenge. As always, we would love for you to join us as well.  

Silent Night

Chrissy is hosting a Little Red Wagon this week and she is challenging us to create four “Christmas in July“.

I made this card with a generic die. I am embossed the navy cardstock with a snowflake folder and then added some stars with a gold pen. I also heat embossed the sentiment (Sweet n Sassy) with gold powder.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the Christmas projects! We would love for you to join in as well.

Hello Card

Our wonderful Imke is hosting this week's Little Red Wagon challenge and she's continuing her way through the alphabet for inspiration. This week, she's at P and is saying that "P is for Pink". She'd like to see pink on our projects. 

I used some leftover pink patterned paper along with some generic dies for the circle and flowers to create my card. The lattice border was cut with a Fiskars punch and the corners were also cut with a punch. The "hello" was cut with a Reverse Confetti die. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the rest of the Girlfriends have used pink on their projects. Then create something pink to join the challenge!

I Will Always Love You

I'm hosting at Little Red Wagon again this week, continuing this year's inspiration from Billy Joel. This week, it's Piano Man and I'm asking crafters to create something inspired by music. 

I was inspired by Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You. I used a number of older supplies for my card - several punches (Fiskars, Stampin' Up and Martha Stewart), paper and vellum that haven't seen the light of day for ages, and a NBUS stamp from My Favorite Things. The sentiment is heat embossed. 

I'd love for you to join this week's challenge as well! Head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the Girlfriends have created and then pull out your record player (or iTunes playlist) and make a music-inspired project to link up! 

Thank You

Out wonderful Janice is hosting this week’s Little Red Wagon Challenge and she’s looking for “Feather, Fur and Fin” - birds, animals or fish! Of interest, Feather, Fur and Fin was a song released by Canadian musician Danny Michel back in 2008. Janice is using Canadian songs to inspire her challenge themes this year.

I have another card to share that was actually created a number of years ago but never posted. I made it at a Stampin’ Up crafting night and all products used are Stampin’ Up. Now that I am back from holidays and moved into my new place, I’m hoping to be able to do some crafting again. I still need to unpack my crafting supplies though!

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the feathers, fur, and fins. We’d love for you to join the challenge as well!
