Challenge # 667 - Embellish It !

It´s Wednesday and time for a brand new Challenge. Imke here and i hope you like my theme for you this week:

“Embellish It ! ”

Embellishments are an integral part of our projects. There are many and my favorite Embellishments are still buttons but they makes projects for bulky and so expensive in postage. I mostly only use them for things that I send to my home country or hand over directly. That´s why i switch to flat ones like enamel dots, sequins and so on. Now, i am curious which one you use and maybe you also have a little story about.

Come on and join us! Check out the lovely creations from the other “Girlfriends” and link up your own project.

Challenge #666 - Here Comes the Sun

Welcome to Challenge #666 here at Little Red Wagon. Still using the Beatles as my inspiration for this year's challenges, this week's theme is "Here Comes the Sun". I have to admit that I am a little bit superstitious about the number of this week's challenge but, given the extreme heat across the globe right now - and the fact that we are featuring suns, perhaps it's fitting after all!

I created a cloudy grey background brightened by a rainbow and a sun. How will you use a sun on your project? For ideas and inspiration, check out the Girlfriends' projects below. Don't forget to link up yourself! I can't wait to see your sunny creations!

Top Picks for Make It With Circles

What wonderful creations! Please be sure to grab our badge from the sidebar to post on your blogs. We look forward to having you come back in the morning for our latest challenge!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #665 - Make It With Circles

Gosh, those calendar pages are flying right off just like in the old time cartoons! I have a new challenge for you this week, Iʻm asking that you "Make It With Circles". All this means is your card must have some sort of prominent circles involved. As you can see, I made a circle card with a circle frame and sentiment and there are circles on the circular inter tube -

I hope youʻll join us this week in rounding things up and showing us your circles! If you need a little more inspiration, be sure to check out the Girlfriends, they are going to rock this challenge!

Challenge # 664 - Stitching Sensations!

Happy Wednesday, all! This week the challenge is "Stitching Sensations!" which means we would like to see your projects that include stitching. Whether it's die cut, machine or hand sewing, faux, on patterned paper...as long as there's some sort of stitching, it's in!

And remember, we're not just about cards. We'd love to see your scrapbook layout, bookmark, tag, pocket page, altered project...any papercraft goes. In fact, for this challenge, if you wanted to link up an actual sewing make, it'll count too.

This is what I did....

My go-to for stitching is stitched dies. As you can see, I've got two stitched squares, a stitched rectangle and a stitched tag. And that's my stitching sensations sorted. (:

If you would like more inspiration, 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!
