Make It Bloom Featured Projects

First off, Iʻm having a real problem with commenting, even with Chrome. If you donʻt have a comment from me, it disappeared somewhere in cyberspace. I had a great time looking at every single one of your creations. Here are a few of my favorites, I could have picked many more -

Such beautiful CAS elegance from Maria.

This one from Lorraine looks like a stained glass beauty.

Love all the texture and beautiful colors from Birgit.

I love these flowers and beautiful papers on this pretty from carol gill.

Please feel free to grab your banner from the sidebar. Thanks so much to everyone for joining us this week, stay tuned for our new challenge!

Challenge #653 - Make It Bloom

I'm hoping this is a very timely challenge, I know the mainland US and even in Hawaii we have had plenty of April and May showers. With all this precious rain, plenty of flowers are blooming, so that is my challenge for you this week. Quite simply I would love for you to "Make It Bloom" by using flowers on/in your creations. Here's what I did -

I used a new stamp set from Colorado Craft Company and some cut files from the Silhouette Design Store to create this card which is just full of flowers and a cute little mousey.

Please link up your projects below and keep in mind, can be a paper craft besides cards! We would love to have you join us this week.

Featured Feature Fun Fold Makes

Well, we didn't have a whole lot of people participate in this challenge....but I still saw some fabulous makes! Here are my faves....and I just realized both cards are from the same crafter!

Challenge # 652 - Feature Fun Folds!

Happy Wednesday, all! This week the challenge is "Feature Fun Folds!" which just means we would like to see projects that have more than one fold. So, think about all those fun fold cards, like easel, pop up, triangle, peekaboo, etc., or makes that have folded elements like shutters, curtains, dresses etc. or you could do a box, treat bag, card/tag holder - anything with more than one fold goes!

Remember, we aren't just about cards. We'd love to see your origami, altered item, scrapbook layout - any papercraft goes!

This is what I did....

As you can see, I made a Z fold card. It's got two folds, so not a ton of folds, but that's still more than one!

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!

Challenge #651 - Save me from April showers

It's Wednesday and time for a new challenge at Little Red Wagon.

I'm the hostess this week (Doni) and I chose the theme "Save me from April Showers"

which means use an umbrella on your card.

Here's what I made:

I used a stamp from Stamping bella called uptown couple- Emily and Ryan under the umbrella.

Please link up your umbrella project below.
We always love seeing how you are inspired by our weekly challenges!

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!
