Autumn Greetings

Hello.  I have a very special card to show you today for more than one reason.  It was a card I made at a card class at a scrapbooking store. If you are local to the Kitchener area or if it is within driving distance, you must come visit Two Scrapbook Friends and take a class with Stephen Kropf.  It is special to me because 1) I LOVE Autumn/Fall and 2) Stephen's father drew the image and Stephen was able to walk us through colouring it.  Supplies were all provided in a kit. 

See, wasn't I right?  It is a gorgeous Fall scene.  I actually bought one more and am going to design a card of my own with it and maybe change up the colours a bit too.

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great Friday and a good weekend.

Little Red Wagon Challenge #417 ~ What's Red All Over?

Good morning.  My, how the week's fly by and I will have that card I promised last week up sometime this week (hint, hint...Friday) in case you were wondering.  Life seems to get away as it does for all of us sometimes.  Welcome to another Wednesday and a new challenge for Little Red Wagon.  Jan is our hostess and she has called her challenge "What's Red All Over?"  Can you guess what she wants to see on your project....that's correct, red.  While you don't have to use all red the majority of your project needs to be red, not just a tiny embellishment :)

Like the good girlfriend that I am, I stuck to the rules and my card is a definite monochromatic of red.  Since the photograph I added a few clear sequins for a bit of sparkle.  Image and sentiment are from Kraftin' Kimmie Merry and Bright Birdies and Christmas Blessings.  Paper is Lawn Fawn Knit Picky. 

Head on over to Little Red Wagon, check out the inspiration from the other girlfriends and link up a red project of your own this week.

Thanks for coming by.  Have a great day!!!!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #416 ~ Shape Up!

Hey there and welcome to a new challenge at Little Red Wagon.  Our hostess is Brenda and she wants us to SHAPE UP~ now I am thinking it is not in the form of exercise and sweat but in the form of shaped projects.  Anything but a rectangle or square.

Truthfully I am not a huge fan of shaped cards or even of how to make them so I went with another shape that is pretty common and made a circular shaker tag for a Christmas gift.  Stamp set is Lawn Fawn Here We Go A-Waddlin' and paper is Lawn Fawn Perfect Plaid Christmas. 

Well that's it for today.  Short and sweet, but you head over to Little Red Wagon, check out the inspiration from the other girlfriends and link up a shaped project of your own. 

Thanks for dropping in.  I hope to be back later this week with another card to share.  Until then, have a great day!!

Little Red Wagon Challenge #415 ~ Leftovers!!

Good morning!  Well, we have a fun challenge for you over at Little Red Wagon this week.  Since we in Canada have just celebrated Thanksgiving with huge dinners (Confession....I did not have any turkey or trimmings this year) and most of us are still eating leftovers, that is the theme of our challenge.....LEFTOVERS.  There are two ways to play: 1) Post any paper crafting project that you have made previously for another occasion that has NOT been posted before.  No back linking or 2) Use scraps from another project on your creation. 

Here is my card.  It was made previously in a class at a local scrapbooking store and all of the supplies have just sat in the bag.  I finally finished it up.  It features a stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie called Let Them Eat Cupcakes.  The lettering and embellishments are my favourite part.  You take red markers on Copic paper and scribble an ombre pattern.  You then die cut them out and punch circles with an ordinary punch.  The letters are mounted on foam also die cut.  The circles are topped with glossy accents.  Now you can make letters to match any card or layout.  What a fun idea!

Head on over to Little Red Wagon, check out what the other girlfriends have made and link up a leftover project of your own.

By the way, I had an incredible trip.  My grandchildren are growing like weeds and are a true joy to be with.  It was so nice to see them with their great grandparents.  My son and daughter-in-law are doing well too and are busy "doing life" as my son says.  Driving back to Calgary last Monday, there was at least 3 inches of snow on the trans Canada highway.  That was totally unexpected but fun to see as long as there was none when I got home.  LOL!!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a GREAT WEDNESDAY!!!!
