Challenge #816 - Honky Cat

It’s time for a new challenge! This week, the theme is Honky Cat (another one of Elton John’s hits which I am using as inspiration for my challenge themes this year). I’m opening the theme up to any sort of household pet though - so cats are certainly welcome but so are dogs, rodents, fish, birds and exotic pets as well!

I created my card of a pup with three little kittens. 

We’d love for you to join the fun by linking up your project below. Be sure to check out the Girlfriends’ (DT) creations below!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #805 - Use that Stash

Here we are on the last day of April or the first day of May depend on your location.  It's also time for a new challenge here at Little Red Wagon and I'm up with hostess duties.  I have been on a craft spending hiatus, so I am going to ask you to "Use that Stuff".  That leaves things pretty wide open, just use your  paper, stamps, embellies, etc from your stash.  Here is a small junk journal that was made using scraps of paper, already printed digital designs, scraps of fiber and even some little paper pads and clusters I had previously created. 

We would love to have you join us this week.  I can't wait to see what you create with your stash.  If you need a little inspiration, stop in to see what the Girlfriends have created this week.
