Challenge #612 - Bette Davis Eyes

Happy Wednesday and welcome to our newest challenge here on the Little Red Wagon blog. I'm delighted to be hosting again and, in still keeping with my 80s classics theme, I'm going with "Bette Davis Eyes" this time. I'm looking for any sort of face - from humans to animals to watches and beyond. Cards, scrapbook pages, home décor - all are welcome!

I added a fairy on my card - and her face is looking and smiling at us all!

We would love for you to join the fun this week so get out your crafting supplies, get creative and link up below to share your designs with us! I can't wait to see what you make!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #611 - Stay Cool

Hi friends, Brenda here today with a new challenge for you. I certainly hope everyone is enjoying summer. I know it has been an unusually hot one for many places (for those of you who are dealing with winter right now, maybe this challenge will warm you up a bit). With that in mind I would love to see you create a project depicting how you Stay Cool. I am thinking things like fans, cool drinks, pools, ocean, ice cream or anything else along those lines. Keep in mind you don't have to make a card to enter. We love scrapbook pages, art journals, book marks, tags...it's pretty wide open.

Here's my card, I created a beach/ocean scene because my favorite way to cool off is to take a dip in the ocean.

Can't wait to see what you create. I hope you'll stop in to see what the Girlfriends have created, they are sure to inspire you!

Challenge # 610 - CASE Someone!

Happy Wednesday, all! This week the challenge is to "CASE Someone!" As you know, CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything or Copy Another Scrapper's Efforts....aka scraplifting. You don't have to make an exact replica of someone's creation, you could be inspired by the layout, design, colours, products they used, technique they tried, just their general style etc. etc. etc. I know I'm constantly amazed by the wonderful papercrafters out there in blogland and I'll bet you are too. This is your chance to let someone else's project inspire you!

In your post make sure you include a link to the project or crafter that was your muse so we can all see how you were inspired. You can even CASE yourself if you want!

And, remember, we're not just about cards. We'd love to see your pocket pages, altered items, tags, bookmarks, scrapbook layouts....any papercraft goes!

This is what I did....

If you'd like to see whose card I CASEd, check out my blog for more information.

Can't wait to see what you create!

MID WAY TO CHRISTMAS

Hello everyone Chrissy here today,

I know, I know, but we have to face facts it is July and we are half way through the year so we must get our skates on and make Christmas cards..that is our theme here at LITTLE RED WAGON where I am the hostess..with the theme ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES..

So I have this die and it is adorable, BUT, to make it fit on a card I had to modify a bit and make a special envelope for my 12 inch slimline card..I just could not chop any of the carts away, they all had to be there so my card became 12 inches long..I have lots of step by step photos HERE

Proof is in the pudding..lol..12 inches..

So do join in with our mid-year Christmas fun..

and check out my teamies fun projects [ They have DT by their name.]

Luv CHRISSYxx

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!
