Challenge #876 - The Longest Time

It's time for another Billy Joel-inspired challenge! This time, the song is "For the Longest Time" and we're looking for anything nostalgic, representing memories, etc. You can link up projects of all sorts - cards, tags, scrapbook layouts, home decor, gifts, etc.

I had some weddings to attend this summer and the brides and grooms requested money for their honeymoon. Instead of simply adding cash to an envelope, a friend gave me the idea to add money to a toy VW Beetle in homage to the days of tin cans tied behind the vehicle. So, that's just what I did! Here's a photo of one of those cars I put together. Our colourful Canadian bills/notes really add to the look.

Looking for inspiration? Check out the Girlfriends' projects below, all marked with a DT (Design Team). We'd love for you to link a project too!

Little Red Wagon #875 - Use A Stamp

Happy Wednesday and welcome to Little Red Wagon! I have a new challenge for you, "Use A Stamp". I would love to see your stamped projects using rubber stamps (natural or synthetic) or even genuine postal stamps. You could also use postal stamp dies, for instance the "Postal Collage Dies", even the stamp punches or decorative scissors would work too. Here's what I did -

I created a stamped masterboard, using stamps from a variety of companies and used one of the backgrounds and a postage stamp shaped frame to create this birthday card.

I hope you can carve out a little time to join our challenge this week. If you are a little low on mojo, head out to see what the Girlfriends have created. Their pictures in the sidebar are links to their blogs. Looking forward to seeing your take on this challenge!

Challenge # 874 - Hayloft

Happy Wednesday, all. This week the challenge is "Hayloft" which means we want to see things that are farm related. It could be farm animals, farm equipment, barn or country scenes. As long as it has something to do with a farm, it's in!

And remember, we're not just about cards. We'd love to see your scrapbook layout, journal page, bookmark, tag, altered item.....any papercraft goes!

This is what I did.....

As you can see, I went with a very happy sheep for my make.

If you'd like more inspiration, check out what the other Girlfriends have made. Then head on back here to link up your project.

Can't wait to see what you create!

The Story

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis to use some of the supplies they have acquired. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!
