Happy New Year! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Donna's turn to set the challenge and she yelling, "Happy New Year!".  Oh wait, I don't actually know if Donna is yelling. She might not be the yelling type. So she might just be saying "Happy New Year!" in a slightly exclamatory voice rather than yelling. Well, no matter how she's saying it, she does want to see it....your projects about New Year's that is.

I must admit, I was making this card late last night. I had known what I wanted to do for a bit but my inner three year old did not want to do the work. And no amount of cajoling was getting her to my crafty spot 'coz even though she knew it would probably turn out pretty cool, she knew it was going to be finicky work. Heck, it's not that I didn't agree with her, but I hate crafting last minute so I was a little perturbed at her for holding off.

Anyhoo, here it is.....

As you can see I've got me some champagne glasses on there filled with some bubbly. 'Coz they're fairly small and skinny it was a bit fiddly to make them. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to cut the fun foam that thin but it did work out.

So why not ring in the New Year crafty style and join us for our challenge?  Then you can head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up.  And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.

The Great Christmas Round Up of 2015

Hey all.  I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.  I must say, Christmas was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much less stressful for me this year as I was all done with my crafting and cardmaking about a week and a half before the big day.  In fact I was all done with everything, save baking, by that time.  And, let me tell you, it made Christmas so much better for me that I'm vowing to be that in control next year too, rather than my usual up really late every night from the 15th on, making and doing Christmas stuff right into Boxing Day.

I think one of the reasons it went so smoothly was that I made a number of Christmas cards earlier in the year, which I have already posted as I like to combine my dt cardmaking with cards I actually need to make.  But, I do still have some I haven't posted so I thought I'd show 'em all in one big round up post.  So, here we go.....

First up we have my card for my oldest, who has a barn full of sheep,....and is 14 years old going on grumpy-old-man 90.  Thought this file from SVG Cutting Files was fitting.

Next up is a clean and simple card that I knew had to be mailed and just this once I wanted to do so without having to pay extra postage so it's completely free of any embellishments.  It's not free of mistakes though since the first embosing go 'round I accidentally put the image in upside down so now there's both embossed and debossed snowflakes on there - whoops!  Digi is from From the Heart Stamps.

This one is using a fantastic digi from Dilly Beans Stamps.  I just love this penguin.  I also used some of this fabulous tinsel trim I should really use more often.

I made a shaped card again this year too.  This was my second try for this card as I made a very poor paper choice with my first, opting for a colourful tiny polka dot design.  Poor Frosty looked like he had a hideous case of the chicken pox and someone took their Copics to his spots!  Neutral colours were certainly a better choice....

(Inspiration for this card came from this card here.)  Cutting file was a freebie from Miss Kate's Cuttables.  If I made this one again I would take out the cut lines from the top of the hat seeing as they look a bit silly without the cardstock backing them.

I also made a few non-card crafts too.  I made some ornaments....

...which are basically wooden shapes with paper and some embellies added.  Funny story with these....I had my aforementioned 14 year old drill some small (although they were bigger than I wanted) holes in them so I could add the hanging wire.  Later on I said to him, "Wanna see what I did with those shapes you put the holes in?"  When I showed them to him he very seriously said, "But...but...but, you covered up my holes with paper.  No one can see them."  To make him feel better I had to promise I'd tell the recipients to flip the ornaments over to look at the holes he made.  I guess he didn't want his contribution to go unnoticed!

And finally....we come to the pièce de résistance.  Let me tell you, my friends, this project was so much a bigger undertaking then I thought it was going to be.  Like ridiculously so.  So, so, so, so ridiculously so.  I underestimated how long it would take so monumentally.  Not that I didn't enjoy making them, it was fun designing them and the cutting wasn't too big of a deal....but putting them together, omg, what a time suck!  All told, for the six of them I made, I bet it took....let's see.....24 to 30 hours of designing and making.  Now because of the colossal amount of time this took, and because I'm still sensitive about the time I spent on this project, I have come up with a number of prepared compliments you may use if you would like to comment on this make.  Only these comments will be accepted, all others will be ignored.  Feel free to either copy and paste them into the comment section, or for the sake of ease, simply quote which comment by its number.

1.  Wow, these are cool!  Your friends are so lucky to receive such a thoughtful gift. 
2.  Very neat!  Your friends are so lucky to receive such a thoughtful gift.
3.  Nice!  Your friends are so lucky to receive such a thoughtful gift.
4.  Your friends are so lucky to receive such a thoughtful gift!  And you are such a wonderful friend to spend hours and hours of your time to make something for them.  JanR, I wish I had a friend like you.  What lucky friends you have!  Lucky, lucky, lucky!

Now, after all that build up, here it is.....

As you can see, it's a desk calendar.  Now, this was my copy, 'coz I decided that I was gonna make one for myself too, so there's a special feature that I didn't photograph for the other calendars but should have.  I had also made a "Birthday Wishes" panel with a happy cupcake.  And I put that panel on the recipients' birthday month.  And, on my copy too, one of the mitt hearts went awol and I had to cut a new one.  Of course, I couldn't find the exact colour, and did I think to just cut two hearts out of the new colour?  No, of course not!  And that's going to bug me the whole month of November, guaranteed.

So that's my round up of Christmas makes.  I hope my Canadian, United Kingdom & Australian (and other readers who are living in former British colonies) are enjoying Boxing Day.  And to my American friends, a quick Google search let me know that some of you (depending on the state you live in.....meaning geographically, not philosophically) will be celebrating Day After Christmas Day....Day?  (I'm unsure of the second Day is necessary.)  I must say, original name, that is.  Well, whatever you're celebrating (or not celebrating) today, I hope you have a good one.  

Sparkle & Shine @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's going with "Sparkle & Shine" so think glitter, bling, foil, Stickles and all things sparkly and shiny.

This is what I did....

I think this is my favourite card this year.  Digi is from Mo's Digital Pencil.  And here's a close up so you can see that there actually is some sparkle and shine on there....

Not brilliantly sparkle shiny but as you can see I've got Wink of Stella on the star and some sparkly washer sticker thingies there on the side.

So why not get out your glittery and sparkly stuff and join us for our challenge?  Then you can head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up.  And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.

Well, my dear Readers & Friends, this'll probably be the last you see of me before Christmas.  I wish each and every one of you a wonderful holiday, and I hope you enjoy time with family and friends, stuff your bellies full of delicious food and, most of all, I hope there's some awesome scrappy goodies for you under your trees.  I'm hoping to be back at the end of this week or beginning of next for my annual Christmas Roundup (where I post all the Christmas makes that didn't get posted before the big day). 

Merry Berry @ Tiddly Inks

For the next two weeks at

the challenge is "Merry Berry" which means we wanna see reds and/or burgundies and a holiday Tiddly Inks image.

This is what I did....

...now I might have cheated a smidge here. I didn't use a holiday/Christmas TI digi. I used Wryn in the Fall but made her up all Christmas-like.  I think she looks so fancy....she's off to a Christmas Party for sure.  She's probably going to laugh way too loud and unladylike, gobble up too much fudge and other goodies, and roll her eyes when that person she doesn't really like at all but pretends she does just 'coz she only sees them about twice a year and can certainly act civilized for a few hours out of 8760 tries to tell an amusing anecdote (which will be not amusing, and probably be mean-spirited, and will monopolize the conversation for a good long time).

Oh wait, Wryn's so sweet.  She wouldn't be like that at all.  It's possible I'm talking about me here.

So why not grab a Tiddly Inks image, and your reds, and enter the challenge?  And be sure to also check out the fabulousness the DT has come up with.

Christmas @ Melonheadz Friends

For the next two weeks at

we're rolling right now through the holidays with a Christmas challenge. I think you all know what you need to do for that.

And this is what I did.....

Isn't this digi just perfect for Christmas? (Well really, he'd be perfect for a surprise birthday card too but since the challenge is Christmas we're just gonna focus on how perfect he is for that.)  I used a past freebie but if you want to see all the current Melonheadz fab digis, clicky here to go to the Etsy shop.  Sentiment was in the dollar bin at Michaels.

You know you're probably going to be making a Christmas card in the next two weeks so why not enter the challenge? And be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has made.

Reindeer Kisses - Fab Friday @ Tiddly Inks

Christmas is in one week, can you believe it?!?!  I'm happy to report that I finished my last needed Christmas card, and my Christmas crafting, earlier this week.  I might make a card or two if I have the time....there's a couple I made that I didn't really care for so it would be great to switch 'em out....plus I'm not sure I'm ready to be all done with Christmas crafting quite yet, kwim?  I will say this though:  This is so much better than previous years.....when I was up late crafting every night and slamming cards together on Boxing Day!

Anyhoo, this is what I Tiddly Inked this week.......

I used Reindeer Kisses....isn't it perfect for a for-that-special-someone card?  I was planning on adding a Merry Christmas, Deer sentiment to the front but I just couldn't get that to work so I'll put in on the inside.

Well, deer Readers (Ha, see what I did there?) I hope you've got all your Christmas preparations well in hand. Why not take a bit of a break and go check out the other fabulous Fabby Friday makes the rest of the DT has come up with? You can see 'em right here.

Let's Get Sketchy @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's my turn to set the challenge and I did somethin' I've never done before.....I made a sketch! And here it is....

You know the drill, use the sketch as your inspiration and make a card (or a layout or whatever)!  As long as I can still see the sketch in there it's all good.

This is what I did.....

As you can see I stuck pretty close the the sketch....it is my sketch after all.  Little tip for ya, if you make a 5 x 5 card and use a piece of patterned paper to cover the card base, the leftover pieces are already the right size for those strips.  Here I used two different papers, but I make a lot of 5 x 5 cards so I have lots of those strips.  Anyhoo, it's just something I thought I'd mention in case you want to make sure you like both sides of your double-sided patterned paper before giving this a go.

Digi was from Squigglefly which is now closed.  :-(  I love this chubby Santa.

So why not give me sketch a whirl and join us for our challenge?  Then you can head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up.  And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.

Snow Much Fun @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

I'm hosting the challenge for Joanne who is going to be taking a break from Little Red Wagon for a bit. Lady's got a new job that's taking up most of her time. Hopefully she'll be back in the near future.

Anyhoo, the challenge for this week is "Snow Much Fun" which simply means we want to see your projects with snow.

This is what I did.....

I used one of my favourite digis from Dilly Beans Stamps.  I just love this family as it can represent our family....well from about five years ago.  The mom & dad snowpeople are about right seeing as I'm about 5'9ish to hubby's 6'.  Difference now is that my oldest, who'll be 15 in February, is just shy of 6'2" while my middlest, who has grown three inches in the last year, is now just shy of 6'1" at just shy of 13.  My daughter, the runt of the litter, [though seeing as she was 9lbs. 12oz. at birth (and not even my biggest) could hardly wear that label] is 5' tall and 10 years old.  I had figured my boys would eventually be taller than me, I just never thought it would happen when they were 12.

So why not think chilly thoughts and join us for our challenge?  Then you can head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up.  And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.

Holly Jolly @ Tiddly Inks

For the next two weeks at

the challenge is "Holly Jolly" which means we want to see those holiday Tiddly Inks images using green and gold.

This is what I did....

I used a freebie from a couple of weeks ago.  I hope you scored it when you had the chance.  Yeah, I'll have to admit I'm not being the best DT member here seeing as my card is sorely lacking the "gold" aspect of the challenge requirement.  But, if you squint your imagination a bit you could call the ginger root/sandbar brown colours on his antlers and tail gold.  At least that's what I'm doing anyways.

That seam binding was the last of the last of what I had so the bow's a little small for my liking.  Honestly, I probably would have shaved some bits off each side of the card to make it smaller, and therefore be able to have the bow bigger, but I had already done the sewing (and all the cutting too) so that wasn't really an option.  I am generally willing to take extra time to make sure I'm happy with what I'm making but starting over completely from scratch not so much.  I'll just make sure this card goes to someone where I'll never see it again.  Outta sight, outta mind.

So why not grab a Tiddly Inks image, and your greens and golds, and enter the challenge?  And be sure to also check out the fabulousness the DT has come up with.

Winter Holidays @ Melonheadz Friends

For the next two weeks at

we've got a super-duper easy one for you again. We're all about winter holidays, so whether you celebrate Christmas, Festivus, Hanukkah, Jul, Junkanoo, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice or something else it's all good.

We're Christmas revelers here at Huh. So This Is A Blog so this is what I did.....

I used an image from the Reindeer bundle.  I've linked you to the combo pack so you can get both the black & white AND coloured images.  I was thinking about adding some red Stickles to his nose to make him Rudolph but decided that since he looks so fancy in his way cool bow tie that he must be Dasher.  ('Coz he's so dashing, get it?)

You know you're going to be making some kind of holiday card in the next two weeks so why not enter the challenge? And be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has made.

December's Here! - Fab Friday @ Tiddly Inks

Subtitled:  The Fran Chowder* Method of Card Giving (*Name changed to protect privacy....more mine than hers.  More on that below.....)

Part One

We're into December now, first Friday of!  Time to show you a Tiddly Inks creation!  And, seeing as it's three weeks until the big day, I've got a Christmas card for you.....

This is one of my favouritest Tiddly digis.  It's called Santa's Helper.  Let me tell you, it's perfect for the preteen boy crowd.  Or the teen boy....or a guy of any age really.  I love him.  The digi that is, not the guy of any age.

I would have preferred my sentiment backed by green paper rather than the blue but it was cut from paper from the patterned paper pad so I didn't have a choice.  Just wanted to throw out there that I know the blue isn't exactly the best colour for this....'coz if I know that you know that I know that green woulda looked better then it makes it all okay.

Make sure you go check out the other fabulous Fabby Friday makes the rest of the DT has come up with.  You can see 'em right here.

Part Two

So, if you happened to catch the subtitle at the top of the post you're probably wondering just who Fran Chowder is, why she has such a ridiculous name, and what her method of card giving entails.  Well, let me tell you.....

My bestie's Mom is a force to be reckoned with.  Not in an oh-no-here-she-comes-I'm-scared-hide-me type of way, more of a goodly tornado (not that there is such a thing, of course, just trying for an aptly descriptive narrative here) type of way.  She can sweep up everything in her path and get it all working towards whatever goal she's working towards.  I could describe her more using words like strong-willed and task-driven, but really, I think you get it.  And her name really isn't Fran Chowder, of course.  I'm using a pseudonym 'coz, well it would be embarrassing for me if post this someway, somehow, got back to her.  'Coz she would call me on it.  And I know we don't have the same sense of humour.  So, I'm playing it safe.  Plus it's pays homage to the time I was with her at a Tim Hortons, it would be about 12 years ago now, and this conversation happened between her and the cashier.

Fran:  Is the soup Boston Clam Chowder or New England Clam Chowder?
Poor Unsuspecting Teen Boy Cashier:  Ummmmmm......
Fran:  *waiting patiently*  Hm, which is it?
PUTBC:  *turning to look at the soup board*  Ahhhhh.....
Fran:  Is it a tomato based broth or a cream based?
PUTBC:  *panicked-stricken look all over his 16 year old face* Uhhhhhhhh......
Fran:  Is the soup red, or is it white?  Never mind, I'll have the chicken noodle.

Most fun I've had in a Tim Hortons ever.  

So, now that you know a little about Fran Chowder I can tell you about her method of card giving.  Because honestly, it's the best thing ever.  In a lmao kind of way.  As cardmakers, we, obviously, hold value in cards.  We think they are important.  Well, Fran does too.  So, dollar store cards are FROWNED upon.  You do not buy those.  Well, at least you don't give dollar store cards to Fran or her husband, Stan.  (Not his real name either.  I've just spent the last minute or so singing Stan & Fran....Fran & Stan to the tune of the Max & Ruby theme song so I just might call them Fran & Stan the next time I see them....though it will likely be under my breath.)

As I was saying, cards are important to Fran.  They are special.  She knows that a lovely card containing a heart-felt verse can convey how meaningful a person is in your life.  That a funny card could give someone a much needed pick-me-up, that one of those birthday cards with the spoken messages could make someone laugh.  You know, a Hallmark card or a Carlton card.

But, and here's the kicker.....

You DO NOT buy these cards. 

No, you certainly don't.  In fact, you don't buy cards at all.  Purchasing cards is a colossal waste of money in Fran's eyes.  After all, it just gets thrown out after it's read!  So, when there's a special occasion in my bestie's life, whether it be her birthday or Christmas, she will get a phone call from her mother.  Asking her to meet Fran at the card store.....

.....where Fran will hand her the card that she has picked out for her.  My bestie will read it, thank her mom....and then hand it back and her mom will place it back on the shelf.  Then they'll leave the store, not with any physical product, but with the picture and verse of that card at the forefront of their memories, and probably with that sense of closeness that comes from sharing feelings in an unspoken way.... 

....and with my bestie desperately trying not to roll her eyes.

But, truly, isn't that awesome?  To have them both take time out of their busy days, the coordination of being able to be at the store at the same time, possibly having someone see this ritual, all that work adding up to a what, $8 savings?  Honestly, the whole scenario tickles me to no end.   

And, if the day were ever to come that I got a phone call from Fran Chowder to meet her a card store, I'm pretty sure this'll be me....

....'coz, even though I'm a cardmaker, and even though I think a (handmade) card is one of the loveliest gifts you could receive (actually receive, I mean, not in a takesies-backsies type of way), there's no way I'm not going to participate in this ritual if given the chance.

And, I just might send her a card to thank her for her thoughtfulness.  But I'd definitely break my no-buying-commercial-cards rule and get her one from the store.  'Coz, really, I'm a total s*&t like that.

Traditional Christmas Colours @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Heather turn to choose the challenge and she wants to see traditional Christmas colours, meaning reds and greens, white and golds, etc. I went with that standard red & green colour scheme....

....and made a shaker card.  (A little bit of blue snuck on there too, but really, it's not an out there colour for Christmas anyways.)

Digi is from Bugaboo Stamps.

So why not pull out those Christmas colours and join us for our challenge?  Then you can head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up.  And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.
