Challenge #856 - New York State of Mind

Happy last Wednesday in April! I can hardly believe it! I'm continuing to be inspired by Billy Joel hits this year and have chosen New York State of Mind for this week's challenge. I'm looking for anything related to travel, skylines, urban scenes, etc.

If you need more inspiration, please check out the projects below. The fabulous LRW design team have marked theirs with a DT.

I can't wait to see what you create!

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 Johnstone

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

Julene

Julene used branding strips from scrapbook paper.

LeAnne

LeAnne used an envelope she received in the mail.

Please feel free to grab the "Featured" badge from the sidebar for your blog. And please join us for our new challenge which will be unveiled very soon!

Challenge #855 - Happy Earth Day

Welcome to a new Little Red Wagon Challenge! This week I am asking you to help us celebrate Earth Day by recycling or reusing something create your paper craft project. You may have a snippet of ribbon or twine, or a piece of corrugated cardboard for example. I've seen some great homemade "washi" tape made using old books or junk mail. Use your imagination, just be sure to let me know what you have reused/recycled.

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

Come along and join us by linking below. Be sure to check out the Girlfriend's makes for inspiration. We would love to see you play along.

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!

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!
