Little Red Wagon Challenge #379- How Tweet It Is!

Hey there! Here we are with the first day of February! Can you believe it? Our challenge this week is called "How Tweet It Is!". That means we just need to see a bird on your project. Should be fun huh?!

For my card I used a stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs called Cat and Bird. Look at those faces!!! They just crack me up! I used some clear acetate and craft cardstock. I colored them up with my Prismacolor pencils this time and used Gamsol for blending. I will be featuring this cute stamp in my class this month too.

So come on over and join us this week for a really fun theme. Also check out what all the Girlfriends have done too. They are some very creative ladies. Here is a link to the Little Red Wagon blog. The top picks will be posted next Tuesday.

Have fun everyone!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #378- Happy Birthday!

Here we go! This week our challenge at Little Red Wagon is a Happy Birthday theme. I am always needing birthday cards and I just got this little stamp called Mouse With Candle from Whipper Snapper Designs. I love shaker cards and this little guy worked out great in my shaker window. I may have gotten a few too many sequins in there, but this guy is partying and didn't even notice!! So come on over to the Little Red Wagon blog and join in all the birthday fun.

Top picks will be posted next Tuesday. I'm excited to see what everyone makes!

Have fun!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #376- Resolutions

This week our challenge is Resolutions. 2017 is off to a great start so far. I have to say, I don't usually make resolutions because I have a hard time sticking to them. However since this is our theme for our challenge I had to give it some serious thought. I decided my resolution for the new year will be this. I love random acts of kindness. The "just because I thought of you" is just the best! I would like to spread more kindness. I do think the more kindness you share with others, helps all of us. My quote says it all. "You will never regret being kind". I think this is true. So that's my resolution.

My project is a quote that I asked my daughter to make for me. She is awesome at hand lettering and she just got all the stuff to foil her beautiful scripts. So of course she was kind enough to make my quote for me. Then I made a beautiful little 7 1/2"x7 1/2" sign for my studio. I love teal and yellow together and the teal foiled script is so beautiful, the pictures don't really show the shinny too well, but oooooh it's so pretty!

Please join us this week and let's see what your resolutions are. Here is a link to get you to the
Little Red Wagon blog. Top picks will be posted next Tuesday.

Have fun!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #375- Something New!

This week's challenge is a goody! We all have that stash of new goodies we have been waiting to get a chance to use. Well this week is the perfect opportunity to go through all those new pretties and make a little something with them for this challenge. The theme is to use something new. It can be a stamp, an embossing folder, a new tool or technique. Let's see what you make and post it here on the Little Red Wagon blog. The top picks will be posted next Tuesday.

For my card I used a cute little Stamping Bella stamp called Happy Birthday Hoppy Poppy. I saw a technique a couple weeks ago on YouTube by Nina-Marie Trapani from Simon Says Stamp. She made a pop up surprise Valentine card. I just had to give it a try too! See, we all have things we already bought, or techniques we have wanted to try. Combine them and you end up with something fun!!

Happy New Year!

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!!!
