Challenge #698 - We Are the Champions

Happy last Wednesday of March! In keeping with my Queen-inspired challenges for 2023, I've chosen the theme "We Are the Champions" as inspiration for the week. I'm looking for congratulations cards of all kinds.

One of our student staff members at work will be graduating next month and I made this card for her. She loves butterflies - hence the butterfly with the grad cap.

Please check out the Girlfriends' amazing projects for inspiration - and then link up your own "We Are the Champions"/congrats creations. I'm excited to pop 'round your blogs to see what you make!

Little Red Wagon #697 - Sympathy

Happy Wednesday (or Thursday) depending on your spot on earth! I have a new challenge for you today. This isnʻt a fun challenge, but I find it easier to make Sympathy cards to keep in my stash rather than trying to work up the mojo when I really need one. So, that being said, I would love to see your Sympathy/Condolence/Rememberance cards. Hereʻs the one I made using a stamp set from Unity Stamp Company.

If you need some fresh ideas, check out the Girlfriendʻs blogs. I look forward to visiting you to see your take on this challenge.

Challenge # 696 - Bling On the Bling!

Happy Wednesday, all! This week the challenge is "Bling On the Bling!" which means we want to see some bling on your projects. So think, gems, pearls, candy dots, charms, sparkly bits and bobs, Stickles, Shimmer Mist, pretty Nuvo Drops - basically anything sparkly or fancy and it's in!

And, remember, we're not just about cards. We'd love to see your scrapbook layout, pocket page, bookmark, tag, journal page, altered item - any papercraft goes!

This is what I did.....

I've got some gems, some sparkly Gumdrops, a little bit of Stickles and some sparkle mist to bling it up.

If you'd like more inspiration, check out the Girlfriends' makes. Then, head on back here and link your project up.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Challenge #695 – Frenchified

Shani here, with today's Frenchified challenge theme; that's just to say anything with a 'French' connection. It could be the Eiffel Tower (plenty of those stamps, digis, and papers around), or something with 'French' in the description (e.g. French fries, French bread). It could be things someone outside of France might associate with it, like snails, cheese, wine, berets, etc. or maybe a sentiment written in French – bonjour and merci come to mind. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

I've gone with a snail design, topped with a French sentiment. Check out what the other girlfriends have created below and link up your own Frenchified creation!

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!
