No Cards Allowed ~ Little Red Wagon Challenge #473

Hi there.  Today at 

our hostess is Jan and her challenge is NO CARDS ALLOWED ~ so, for this week, we have a no card policy.  That means you can showcase anything else in paper crafting such as a scrapbook page, a pocket page or an altered item.  But that's not all ~ you can also showcase any other craft or do-it-yourself project that you do, for example, knitting or furniture upholstering.

Now I only wish I could have knitted super fast and showcased the throw I have been working on for the past two years....LOL! Or the wreath I am supposed to be making for the door this Christmas.  But alas, I resorted back to my ever faithful paper crafting and made a couple of tags for presents (and I know how much Jan appreciates tags....hee!hee!)

I came across the window tag idea while watching tag videos on YouTube.  I used a window die from Memory Box.  I cut out one and then traced it to make a solid piece for the back and cut that one out by hand.  The images are from Kraftin' Kimmie's  Holiday Village coloured with my Copics.  I added lots of snow with my UniBall signo white pen.  I added an acetate layer for the window, a sentiment and a ribbon.  

As always, head on over to Little Red Wagon and check out the inspiration from the other girlfriends.  Link up something other than a card to show us.  I'm sure you have lots of ideas.

Thanks for dropping in.  Have a great day!!

Remember When ~ Little Red Wagon Challenge #472

Good day, peeps!!  Today at

It's my turn to hostess and my theme is REMEMBER WHEN ~ but that''s just my way of saying remember when you bought something for your crafting stash and never used it.  You know as crafters we all do this for sure.  My big thing to collect is stamp sets.  So I picked out one and used it on this card.

I used none other than Kraftin' Kimmie (now there's a surprise).  This set is Holly Jolly Ornaments stamped with Kraftin Kimmie inks in Mermaid Melody, Lovely Lagoon, Raspberry Rose and Granite Grey.  Boughs were die cut using a retired Your Next Stamp branch.  Sparkly gems are also from my stash of embellishments.

So head on over to Little Red Wagon, check out the inspiration from the other girlfriends and link up a project using something in your stash you have never used.  I am looking forward to seeing them all.

Have a great Wednesday!!

Just A Sentiment ~ Little Red Wagon Challenge #471

****This is my second post of the day.  If you are here for the krafty sneak peek and weren't sent directly to the post please click HERE or scroll down****

Welcome to a new challenge at Little Red Wagon.  Our hostess today is Imke and she's saying JUST A SENTIMENT ~ she wants to see your makes featuring a sentiment front and centre.

And this was a challenge for me ~ not that I don't have some amazing sentiments but it is unusual for me to make them the focus as I am so used to colouring an image for that.  Thanks, Imke, for getting me out of my comfort zone.  After all, that's what challenges are supposed to do.  Here's what I came up with ~

I took a sentiment from the Shake It Up set from Kraftin' Kimmie and embossed it on multi media paper in clear embossing powder (Next time I think I would use white as it would stand out better.) I then took two colours of Kraftin' Kimmie hybrid ink, Ruby Red and Enchanting Emerald, and inked them in stripes onto the paper.  I mounted this onto white card stock cut out with a Lawn Fawn Stitched rectangle die.  Flower and leaf die cuts are Your Next Stamp and Spellbinders.  Twine and dots from my stash. 

Head on over to Little Red Wagon and check out some inspiration from the other girlfriends.  They are a super talented bunch.  Leave them some love on their blogs and come back and link up a SENTIMENT project of your own so we can leave you some love (ie. a comment on your blog ~ everyone likes to see some of those).

Thanks for coming by.  Enjoy the rest of your day!
