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!

Challenge #877 - Featured Projects

Feel free to grab our badge for your blog! We look forward to seeing you tomorrow for our newest challenge. 

Challenge # 877 - R is for Recipe

Hello and welcome back to a brand new Challenge ! It´s me, Imke and I continue with the A, B, C theme and this week it´s :

"R is for Recipe"

1 Image, 2 Paper, 3 Embellishments

I am not sure if i am following my own Challenge **lol**. My layout features the flip-flos, a piece of patternet paper, some cardstock and three enamel dots. I think that works. The sentiment is an extra touch. So, I am generous when it comes to an extra sentiment. :-)

Don´t forget, you can link to anything that fits the topic - not just cards. Link your project below using the Linkytool. And take a look at the works of my girlfriends. They are linked with a "DT" in the name.

Challenge #876 - Featured Projects

Thanks to all who joined last week's "For the Longest Time" (memories/nostalgia) challenge! We had a small number of entries and here are a couple that stood out to me. 

A. Rose

Deb

Don't forget to grab your banner from the sidebar! We hope to see you all back in the morning for Imke's challenge! 

Challenge #876 - The Longest Time

It's time for another Billy Joel-inspired challenge! This time, the song is "For the Longest Time" and we're looking for anything nostalgic, representing memories, etc. You can link up projects of all sorts - cards, tags, scrapbook layouts, home decor, gifts, etc.

I had some weddings to attend this summer and the brides and grooms requested money for their honeymoon. Instead of simply adding cash to an envelope, a friend gave me the idea to add money to a toy VW Beetle in homage to the days of tin cans tied behind the vehicle. So, that's just what I did! Here's a photo of one of those cars I put together. Our colourful Canadian bills/notes really add to the look. 

Looking for inspiration? Check out the Girlfriends' projects below, all marked with a DT (Design Team). We'd love for you to link a project too!

Little Red Wagon #875 - Use A Stamp

Happy Wednesday and welcome to Little Red Wagon!  I have a new challenge for you, "Use A Stamp".  I would love to see your stamped projects using rubber stamps (natural or synthetic) or even genuine postal stamps.  You could also use postal stamp dies, for instance the "Postal Collage Dies", even the stamp punches or decorative scissors would work too.  Here's what I did -

I created a stamped masterboard, using stamps from a variety of companies and used one of the backgrounds and a postage stamp shaped frame to create this birthday card.  

I hope you can carve out a little time to join our challenge this week.  If you are a little low on mojo, head out to see what the Girlfriends have created.  Their pictures in the sidebar are links to their blogs.  Looking forward to seeing your take on this challenge!

Congratulations, Friends! Feel free to grab our badge to post on your blog. 

Challenge #871 - We Didn't Start the Fire

Kate here with another Billy Joel-inspired challenge. This week, I'm using "We Didn't Start the Fire". As the song is all about historical events of the mid-1900s, feel free to create something to do with history or memories (from any era - even a scrapbook page from last week's neighbourhood barbeque!). You can also be a bit more literal (like me!) and create something to do with fire, whether that be a birthday cake with candles, a fireplace, a campfire or even a dog at a fire hydrant.

I love camping and created this card for my husband. We're actually camping as this post gets published!

Please check out the incredible creations of the talented Little Red Wagon Girlfriends (marked DT) below. We'd love for you to link up a "We Didn't Start the Fire" project too!

Thanks so much to everyone who joined in.   Leslie, Jolanda, Cheryl and Jules, please feel free to grab the Featured banner for your blog.  

We hope to see everyone for the new challenge that will be up soon!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #870 - Card Plus (decorate an envelope, make an envelope, use and envelope somehow)

It's Brenda here with what I realized now is rather a confusing challenge title, Card Plus.  The challenge is to do something with an envelope.  As the title suggests, you could make your own, or decorate one up, the emphasis is on the envelope.  You could even create a scrapbook layout or journal ephemera which includes an envelope.  Just get an envelope of some kind in somehow.  I went with decorating some junk envelopes and created a "flip flop journal.

It went from this stack of junk envelopes-

to this journal -

I can't wait to see how you interpret this challenge.  Be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have created by following the links in the sidebar to their blogs.

Challenge # 869 - One Thing

Happy Wednesday, all!  This week the challenge is "One Thing" which means we want to see just one of something on your project.  It could be one colour, one layer, one type of embellishment, one piece of patterned paper, one word, one stamp....as long as there's just one of something - it's in!

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

This is what I did.....

As you can see, I've got lots of "ones" on there.....one patterned paper, one image, one piece of twine, one bow, one button, one paper snowflake, one enamel dot and one tag.

If you'd like more inspiration, do check out what the other Girlfriends have made.  Then, head on back here and link up your project.
