Challenge #638 - A Hard Day's Night

Happy Wednesday from cold and snowy Ontario, Canada! We actually had such a snowstorm last week that schools and many businesses (stores, restaurants, shopping centres) had to close for the day. However, for the most part, work goes on.

This year, I'm focusing on Beatles' hits as inspiration for my challenge themes. I've chosen "A Hard Day's Night" from the Beatles' 1964 album with the same name. I'm looking for anything work related - professions, tools, office decor, etc.

For my project today, I'm sharing a Happy Planner layout for my work planner. There's still a lot of space as I have a lot to add each week! Still, it's nice to have some colour and joy added to my list of work to do!

Please link up your "A Hard Day's Night" (work-themed) project. I can't wait to see what you create!

Top Picks for Challenge #637

Once again, you all have amazed me with your beautiful works. I saw box cards, tent cards, block cards and I could go on. I definitely have been inspired. Here are some cards that particularly inspired me -

#637 Make It Open

I know we are already to the 3rd Little Red Wagon Challenge of the year, but I (Brenda) want to wish you all the best in2022! I have a new challenge for you today, Make It Open. I realize nearly all cards open, but what I am looking for here is a unique fold, or opening mechanism. I am thinking gatefold, easel card, box card, cascade card, shutter card, you get the picture.

As for me, I decided to do a trifold card. These are such fun to make and I actually have a picture tutorial for you here.

The outside with belly band.

The card unfolded.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with this week. It's always fun to learn new card folds. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the Girlfriends have created and know they will provide you with plenty of inspiration if that's what you need. I sure hope you'll join us!

Challenge # 636 - Pick Patterned Paper!

Happy Wednesday, all! I hope 2022 is off to a good and crafty start for you! This week the challenge is "Pick Patterned Paper!" which just means that we would like to see projects made with patterned paper. It can be a whole bunch of different patterned papers, or just one skinny little strip.

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

This is what I did....

As you can see, I've used up a bunch of patterned paper scraps. Yep, it's that easy.

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!
