Challenge #435 - Thanks a Latté

Happy Wednesday! This week's challenge is all about hot beverages - whether it be coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, lattes, etc. In some way, please feature a hot beverage (so no little mug tucked in a corner). How you interpret the challenge is up to you though. Perhaps you'll make a pretty box for specialty teas or a gift bag for hot chocolate and marshmallows. Perhaps you'll create a gift card holder for your favourite coffee shop. Or, perhaps you'll create a card with a hot beverage taking front and center, just like I did.

There's a link up below and you've got a week to join us. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations and visiting your blogs to comment on your projects. I can't wait to see what you make!

Go Green Featured Projects

We had a couple of interpretations of Go Green for the last challenge and since I was the queen of the challenge I say everyone did a great job on both the upcycle and the go green in color angle.  Here are the ones I especially loved -

Wonderful cards, ladies please feel free to grab your badge from the sidebar.  I hope to see you all in our next challenge which will be up in a little while!

Go Green

Happy Wednesday! If it's Wednesday, it's time for a new challenge here at Little Red Wagon. This week I would like to see something recycled or upcycled. It can be anything from a ribbon or lace you got from a Valentine goodie or a piece of cardboard or previously used paper. If you've ever had a card turn out less than what you expected, salvage the image and use it this week.  The sky is the limit, if it lived a previous life use it on your creation, it counts. Remember, it doesn't have to be a card to enter.

Here's my card -

The background paper for this card is a piece of scratch paper, you can see the old print in the background. I used this paper to clean metallic paints off my brayer and loved the way it looked. In real life it has a wonderful metallic sheen.  If you could see the back of this cute little angel, you would see that she is stamped on the opposite side of an digi image I didn't use. 

Hopefully you have some idea of how you can create and upcycle for our challenge. If you need more ideas, I know the Girlfriends are going to rock this challenge, so give them a visit. I hope you'll join us this week, can't wait to see what you create!

Featured Luuurve Projects

So delighted that so many of you joined us this week!  I saw such wonderful makes I was having a really hard time narrowing down my picks.....but then I remember that that was the joy of having a "Featured" badge rather than a Top __, I didn't have to pick only a specific number, I could just show all my favourite faves!  So here they are....

And, I hope to see everyone back tomorrow for our next challenge!

Challenge # 433 - Luuurve

Happy Wednesday, all!  And Happy Valentine's Day too!  The challenge is all about luuurve (love) this week.  It doesn't have to be a Valentine's make, anything about love (like weddings, anniversary or a just because love) will do.  And remember, it doesn't have to be a card, we'd love to see your tag, bookmark, altered project, mixed media art or any papercraft you'd like to create.

This is what I did.....

Lots of love going on there, just look at all the hearts!  (:

If you'd like more inspiration be sure to check out the wonderful projects the Girlfriends have created. Then, head back here and link up.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Challenge #432 ~ Shades of Red

Hello.  Welcome back to a new challenge this week.  It's Heather here and my challenge theme is SHADES OF RED ~ I want to see shades of reds and pinks on your makes along with neutrals.

Here's what I did ~ 

A bit of a departure from my usual "cutesy" style but I like the romantic feel to this card.  Check out what the other girlfriends have made in the link below and link up a SHADES OF RED make of your own.  I am looking forward to seeing what you create.
