Challenge #531 - Have Your Cake and Eat It Too

Happy Wednesday! I'm both thrilled and embarrassed to be this week's hostess at Little Red Wagon. I'm thrilled because it's my turn to host which is always fun. And I'm embarrassed because it's my challenge and I messed up! I had chosen the theme "Have Your Cake and Eat It Too" meaning that I'd like to see any sort of baked goods on your projects - from cakes to cupcakes to muffins, pies and cookies. If it's been in the oven, it's good to go! My last challenge of 2019 was "Snow Much Fun" and even though I created a project for that challenge, I thought it was this week's theme. Ugh! Anyway, I've got a cake box project from January 2012 that I'll share as I simply don't have time to create something new for this week. I'm so sorry!

Here's the project I did create for this week. One of the "ingredients" IS wonderful. And I suppose if his carrot nose was baked in the oven, I could sneak in - but that really is a stretch!!

Please link up your own baked goods projects below. I love sugary treats so am especially excited to see what you create!

Ladies, please feel free to grab your badge from the sidebar.  A huge thank you to everyone who entered.  It was such fun seeing your projects and learning what you used.   Lets keep that NBUS busy in2020!

Stay tuned for our next challenge...I'll give you a hint, Kate is up and it's a fun one!

Challenge #529 - Use Your NBUS

Happy New Year to everyone!  We are ringing in 2020 with a challenge to get your creativity started or to keep it going strong.  It's Brenda and I'm doing the MC duties this week.  I've been doing a major purge of my studio and found so many wonderful things I'd forgotten I even had.  I would love to see you look for and use your NBUS (Never Been Used Schtuff) to create.  I would also really like to know what NBUS you used.

I've been working on a major purge of my studio and found many a couple NBUS.  To make these tags I used a Stampin' Up! set I got a couple years ago and the mulberry paper is probably 20 years old with the price tag still on it.  The sentiments are stickers from a card kit that I have probably had at least 2 years. -

 

OK, it's over to you now.  I can't wait to see what you create.  Remember, we're not only about cards, we would love to see your other arty projects too!  Be sure to check out the creations the Girlfriends have made, you are sure to be inspired.

Featured # 528 - Any Winter Holiday Goes

Happy Christmas Eve, all!  I hope everyone is having a festive holiday season!  You all sure made me feel the holiday spirit when I was around to see all your makes.  They were all so fabulous!  Here are my faves....

Tenia Nelson

Tammy

Tina

Such amazing cards, ladies!  Feel free to grab the Featured badge for your blog.

Just a reminder...we will not be running a challenge tomorrow as the Girlfriends are going to take a much deserved week off.  We hope to see you all back here on January 2nd for our first challenge of 2020!

Challenge # 528 - Any Winter Holiday Goes!

Happy Wednesday, all! This week the challenge is Anything Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice/Las Posadas/Diwali/Chinese New Year/Saturnalia/Yule/Omisoka...any winter holiday goes! So let's see those festive projects! And remember, we're not just about cards....you could make a bookmark, layout, pocket page, altered item, tag - any papercraft goes!

This is what I did...

I went with the jolly man himself - Santa!  Looks like he has a special present for all those good crafters out there.  (:

If you want more inspiration be 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!

A couple things to note:  This will be our last challenge of 2019 as us Girlfriends are taking a week off.  I will post the Featured projects on the 24th but there will be no challenge next week.  We will ring in the New Year with our first challenge of 2020 on January 1st.

We don't normally have any rules for our challenges, but seeing as this is really close to an "anything goes" challenge, and given how busy the holidays can be, we are asking that you limit your entries to two projects.  Thanks!

Happy Holidays to all our Little Red Wagon friends!  Thank you so much for joining us this year.  We are looking very forward to seeing all the wonderful projects you come up with in 2020!
