Challenge #866 - Piano Man

This week's challenge has been inspired by Billy Joel's Piano Man - inspired by music. Your project can include a music staff or notes, instruments, song titles and lyrics, etc. And yes, Happy Birthday and Christmas songs/carols work too!

I was inspired by Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You.

If you're stuck for ideas, check out the Girlfriends' projects (marked DT) below. Once you're done your project, snap a pic and link up! I'm excited to see what you make!

Challenge 865 - I See

I'm so glad you checked in here at Little Red Wagon Challenge. We have a new challenge for you this week, "I See". I thought it would be fun to create something you can see through. Some materials you might use would be parchment, transparencies, glassine, acetate and even tulle would work great. You could even use a window or a door, you just need to see something through it.

As you can I used vellum on my card and backed the window with vellum and placed a stamped handwriting image.

Please remember, we'd love to see your scrapbook layout, tag, bookmark, altered item, journal page - any papercraft your heart desires! If you need a little inspiration, be sure to check out the Girlfriends creations. You can find the link to their blogs on the sidebar.

I can wait to see through your creations this week.

Challenge # 863 - I'm So Sorry

Chrissy here with you this week as your hostess and a new theme which sounds tricky but does not have to be.. " I'm so sorry - Sympathy " OR you could even be an apology card, I'm flexible.

This is my project, I let the papers do the work, a simple stamped sentiment directly onto the front and added some buttertflies..

there you go..

So link up below cant wait to pay you a visit..

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!
