Challenge #881 - Tell Her About It

Happy Wednesday, friends! I'm still singing along to Billy Joel's greatest hits and this week, it's "Tell Her About It". I'm looking for projects with envelopes, post-cards, handwritten letters, emails, phones, etc. Basically, any form of communication works!

I'm part of a Sisterhood of the Travelling Journal group and this was a spread at the start of the journal. The envelope contains a greeting and instruction for the rest of the Sisterhood.

Looking for inspiration? Check out the Girlfriends' (marked DT) projects below. Then "Tell Her About It" by linking up your own creation!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #880 - Use a Frame

Somehow, I was inspired to challenge you to use a frame this week. You can make your own frame like I did, you might use a die cut frame or an embossed frame, I think Tim Holtz has some pre-made frames that would work perfectly. You could even frame some of your work and that would count.

Here's what I did using 2 stitched rectangle dies to create my own frame popped up on a card blank -

I am looking forward to seeing how you and the Girlfriends will use a frame. Be sure to check in on the Girlfriends, especially if it's inspiration you need.

Challenge # 879 - Stitches

Happy Wednesday, all. This week the challenge is Stitches which means we would like to see stitching on your project. It could be hand stitching, stitching done with a sewing machine, by using a stitched die, stitching on patterned paper, hand drawn stitches or other faux stitching. As long as it has some type of stitching - it's in!

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

This is what I did....

As you can see, I've got two stitched tags. It's that easy.

If you'd like more inspiration, do check out what the Girlfriends have made. And then come on back here to 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!
