Challenge # 562 - Goodbye

Hi there, it´s Wednesday and time for a brand new Challenge at Little Red Wagon. It's me, Imke - I am your hostess this week and I hope you like my Challenge for you this week:

" Goodbye "

That can mean a lot: Goodbye to a job, to neighbors and friends because of moving, on vacation and of course death .... I'm curious which topic you use.

This card was sent to a craft friend who lost her father. I really like it when there is some color involved. In Germany, the sympathy cards are mostly black and white. It's very traditional but too gloomy for me personally. I always say: "The occasion is sad enough, it can be a bit colored".

Now it's your turn, please link up your project below ! I'm looking forward to seeing your projects and visiting you on your blogs.

Also don´t forget to visit my team mates and looking at their wonderful creations.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Challenge #561 - Happy Days

Welcome to Wednesday and our first challenge of August. Time is just flying by and we do hope that you are all keeping safe and well. Some people are finding lockdown a bit more difficult than others and now is the perfect time to share some smiles. This week's challenge, Happy Days, is all about making somebody smile with your creation - whether it's a card with humour or a handmade gift to spread joy.

I decided to go with a bit of humour for my card and used some My Favorite Things products. Hopefully, the recipient - whoever they turn out to be - enjoys the card and gets a smile without hiding all their cupcakes from me.

Please look through the link list below to see what the rest of the Girlfriends have created - and then make something to make somebody smile!

Featured Background Projects

I have to tell you, I really enjoyed looking at all your beautiful creations this week. I'm so happy so many of you decided to join us! I was going to list all the techniques that were used, but there were so many I stopped keeping track at 17 different ways to create a background. Here are a few of my favorites -

Congratulations! We would love for you to grab the "Featured" badge from the sidebar for your blog.

We hope you will all be back for our new challenge!

Challenge #560 - Give Us Your Background!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope this finds you all well and raring to join in our challenge this week. We would like for you to GIVE US YOUR BACKGROUND. I'm not talking genealogy here, I'm talking alcohol inks, distress oxide ink, paper piecing, smooshing stenciling, gelli pad, collage...there are so many ways to make your own background paper for your creation.

Here's mine -

The background was one that was in my stash. I think the pink/red is probably distress oxide ink smooshed on to water color paper. It drives me crazy after you foil something and have all that lovely color left, so I added some transfer gel and some gold leftover foil and this is what I got.

A little bit more background here (not the kind we are asking for in the challenge)...I want to dedicate this card to the Girlfriends, who are absolutely blessings. I had a bunch of stuff going on last week and they were right there to give moral support and offer help. They are the BEST!

We would love for you to join us this week. I'm am looking forward to seeing all the different ways you create your backgrounds. For more ideas, give the Girlfriends a visit and leave them a little love.

Featured Spots & Stripes Projects

Well, you all didn't seem to have a problem going dotty or stripey last week....I saw so many fantastic makes! It was very, very hard for me to whittle down my list of favourites for our Featured post but in the end I did what I had to do. Here are my favourite faves...

Challenge # 559 - Spots or Stripes!

Happy Wednesday, all! This week the challenge is "Spots and/or Stripes" which means that we would like to see projects that have either polka dots, spots, tittles, lines, plaids stripes....any or all of the above! And remember, we're not just about cards....you could make a bookmark, layout, altered item, tag - any papercraft goes!

This is what I did.....

As you can see, I've got liney patterned paper and a pretty floral wreath with a plethora of dots around it.

If you want more inspiration be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made. Then head on back here and 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!

Stuff To Know

Just a note....occasionally we will be unable to leave a comment on your entry if the Girlfriend visiting does not have an account for the method you used to link up. Don't worry though - you'll still be in the running for our Featured post...and I'll bet we loved your creation even if we couldn't tell you!
