Bow & Arrow @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


Sandy is the host and she has a fun challenge for us. The challenge is "Bow & Arrow" which means she wants to see one of the other on your make....or both!

This is what I did....


I used a free digi from Paper Smooches again this week along with their Tiny Hearts dies.

A lot of you will probably recognize this line from Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" which is also the next line of the song.  Personally, I've always thought it was unfortunate that "Shot through the heart..." had such a negative connotation.  Myself, I think it would be a romantic thing to say to someone.  You know, bypassing that whole cupid-in-his-diaper-with-his-annoying-cherub-face-flying-around-shooting-people to say that it was actually your crush/partner/spouse/date who "got" you....and you were happy about it, and willing to follow them anywhere.

Unfortunately, thinking about it that way, doesn't stop the whole Bon Jovi band cranking up the song in my head every time I read the card though.  *sigh, grumble, sigh*

And once you're done grumbling at me for the earworm why not 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.

  1. Oh dear... I think I frightened the cat with my squeal of delight when I read the sentiment. That was one of my favourite songs back in the day. It's perfect with your fabulous card!

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
