XOXO Hello

It's our fabulous Brenda's turn to host at Little Red Wagon and she wants to see stamps! You can use stamped images or postage stamps. You choose! In fact, you don't have to choose if you'd like to use both.

I used some Postage Stamp stamps from My Craft Spot (no longer in business). The dies used to create the "hello" speech bubble as well as the rickrack are from My Craft Spot too. I also used some generic postage stamp dies for the mat and the little postage stamp. The little girl and flower are actually part of the patterned paper. How fun! 

Head on over to Little Red Wagon to see how the rest of the Girlfriends used stamps on their projects. It would be lovely if you joined us too! 

Hot to Trot

Janice is hosting our challenge at Little Red Wagon and she's selected the theme "Hayloft". Janice is highlighting Canadian music this year and Hayloft is a song by Canadian band Mother Mother. Janice is using the song title to encourage us to create anything related to a farm. 

I used a frame from Your Next Stamp and stamps and dies from My Favorite Things to create my Hot to Trot card. The background is an image from Canva.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the farm-related projects. We'd love you to join us as well! 

Sprinkled with Happiness

The wonderful Chrissy is hosting at Little Red Wagon this week and she wants to see "anything times three". You can either use three of something on your creation or make three of whatever it is you are making. 

I used three cupcake stamps on my birthday card. The cupcake stamps and sentiment are from My Favorite Things' All the Cupcakes. I added some somewhat uncooperative sprinkles to the cupcakes too. No die cuts this time. The mats and papers were just cut with a paper trimmer. 

Head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the "anything times three" creations! We'd love for you to join the fun too!

The Earth Laughs in Flowers

Our wonderful Imke is hosting this week's challenge at Little Red Wagon. She continues her way through the alphabet and has arrived at the letter Q - Q for Quote!

I knew the quote I wanted to use and I was going to cut out some sunflowers. However, I ended up asking AI to generate the quote with some sunflowers and then coloured them in. I had a much-needed relaxing time colouring. Life has been very good. Just busy and it was good to take some time for myself.

How will you interpret Q is for Quote? For more inspiration, head to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends have made. We would love for you to link a project too! 

Here's the black and white image, for anybody who is interested. I imported it into Canva and resized it there.

Let's Make Some Memories

I'm exited to have my turn hosting at Little Red Wagon again this week. I'm still working my way through Billy Joel hits and this time, I'm listening to "We Didn't Start the Fire" for inspiration. I'm challenging crafters to make something related to history/memories or to go a more literal route and include some form of fire on projects such as cards, journaling pages, scrapbook pages, gift bags, tags, etc. You could even use fire to create burned edges on your paper. So many possibilities! 

I went the literal route and created a card celebrating a campfire with roasted marshmallows. John and I are camping at Presqu'ile Provincial Park along Lake Ontario this week and I'm sure there will be some campfires with roasted marshmallows and s'mores. I made this card to give John upon our arrival using stamps from the Happy Campers stamp set from My Favorite Things. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the projects created by the rest of the design team. I'd love for you to join the challenge too!
