Hello 2017!! Yep this week our challenge is a New Years theme. Just post your projects over on the Little Red Wagon blog HERE. Our hostess will post her top picks next Tuesday.

For my card I kept it very simple. I just used some gold and silver sparkly papers for the banners. I used my words from the My Favorite Things stamp set called Hand Lettered Holiday. The little bunny is from Stamping Bella called Nice to Meet You Poppy. The numbers I used are from a very old Stampin Up set I had in my stash.

Hope everyone has a very happy and prosperous New Year!!!
Happy 2017!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #372- Christmas Carols

Hey there! This week our challenge is called Christmas Carols. All you need to do is just use a line from a Christmas Carol for the words on your project. Easy peasy huh?

I used this cute little Santa Has a Prezzie stamp and die from Stamping Bella. The words I used is from CC Designs. I also used a My Favorite Things die to cut the top part of the card off. I then cut an acetate piece the size of the card front and ran it through a Swiss dot embossing folder for texture. I also used a Mama Elephant little stitched hill die for my snowy hills. I used my Prismacolor pencils this time too.

Now I have this song stuck in my head: "Have a holly jolly Christmas. In case you didn't hear. Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas....... this year!!!"

Check back next Tuesday for the top picks on The Little Red Wagon blog.

Have fun!!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #344- Fit It In

Hello! This week our Little Red Wagon Hostess is Kate. She's chosen the theme this week called Fit It In. This just means to use an inlaid die. In my sample if you look closely you can see I cut out the scallop on my panel then used the same scallop die on the polka dot paper. I cut the image out with a pierced circle die, then used the same circle die on the polka dot scallop piece. I inlaid the polka dot scallop piece into the white panel, and then inlaid the image circle into the polka dot scallop circle. Whew!!! Does that make sense? I hope so, because it was fun making the pieces all fit together.

Here is a link to join the Little Red Wagon challenge. I can't wait to see what everyone does!

Have fun!
