Challenge #860 - Create Your Own Background

Time for a new challenge for you here at Little Red Wagon.   Itʻs Brenda up this week as hostess and I am asking to see how you will "create your own background". There are many ways you could accomplish this, you could watercolor, smoosch, gel print, ink blending, stencil to name a few...or you could give a new purpose to offcuts like I did.


I hope you will have time to join us this week.  I am looking forward to being inspired by your paper crafted creations.  Be sure to stop in and see the Girlfriends, they may inspire an even different way to create your own background!

Hi there! There weren't very many participants this week. It looks like you guys aren't making many baby cards either. 

That made me all the more delighted to look through the entries that were submitted. As always, everything was lovely—but even from this small selection, I have chosen my Top 3.

Challenge #855 Top Picks

Thanks to all who joined us this week.  Thank you not just for sharing your beautiful inspiration, but for helping care for our amazing planet.  The more I see of it, the more awestruck I am by how incredibly beautiful it is.   I was inspired by not only the beautiful cards, but by the recycled objects you used.  Such great ideas.  Here are a few that really stood out for me -


Jolanda used packing material (the background paper), a business envelope (the 3 panels colored with inks) and the yarn.



Julene used branding strips from scrapbook paper.



LeAnne used an envelope she received in the mail.

Here is what I made from recycled clothing tags and papers from my scrap bin -

Challenge # 854 - That Song

Happy Wednesday, all.  This week the challenge is "That Song" which means we want to see those projects that get inspiration from a song or music.  It doesn't have to have song lyrics on it, if a song inspired what you created - it's in!  And, if you're stuck for ideas, a birthday card can always be inspired by the "Happy Birthday" song and Christmas creations can always be inspired by a Christmas carol.  We aren't too strict here at LRW, just let us know how the theme relates to your make and it's all good.  (:

This is what I did.....


As you can see, I was inspired by the Christmas carol "Joy to the World".

If you would like more inspiration, by sure to 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!

Challenge #851 - It's Still Rock and Roll to Me

Happy Wednesday! It's Kate here and I'm still moving along through Billy Joel hits as a means to spark inspiration. This time, I am singing "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" and I'm looking for anything vintage or retro

I decided to go a bit retro with a rotary phone as the highlight of my card.
