Say It With Flowers! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Say It With Flowers!" which just means that she would like to she flowers on your creation.  Easy-peasy!

This is what I did.....

I had so many images and die cuts to pick from.....and papers!  Argggg....why didn't I use patterned paper with flowers on it?  And why is that just occurring to me now?!?!    This lovely digi is from Bugaboo Stamps.  I do so love Jodie's work.

Here I Go Again! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying (singing), "Here I Go Again" which means that she wants to see those projects that have to do with travel.  Off we go!

This is what I did.....

I'll admit, I struggled with this theme.  Maybe it's because I'm not much of a traveller...even when we can travel.  I just couldn't seem to come up with anything for the longest time and thought I was going to end up with something I wasn't happy with.  But then, as I looked in my digi Sentiments folder in desperation, I saw this stamp from Create With Tlc, and it all just fell together.  Like, instantly.  I remembered that bit of looks-like-a-road ribbon and the felt car embellishment, and bam, done.

Actually, another amazing thing happening during the making of this card.  I.  Completely.  Used.  Up.  A.  Pack.  Of.  Embellishments.  First time that has happened in over ten years of papercrafting.  In fact, I think this pack of felts cars was one of the first embellishments I had ever bought.  So, one down *glances over at embellishment tower o' drawers*.....a f%^kload to go.

Sand & Sea! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Sand & Sea!" which means she wants to see those project about....well, sand and sea.  

This is what I did.....

Admittedly, there's a lacking of sand on my card.  I mean, I could have put some sand on there but seeing as this sailboat from Neat & Tangled is way out to sea, the card would have to be considerably bigger.  Like, at least 12 x 12, I'm thinking (because that's the biggest cardstock I have).  So, sandless it is.

Left the sentiment off this one as I wasn't exactly sure what it would be used for.  Could be Father's Day or a birthday or even a retirement, I'm thinking.

Hers! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Hers!" which just means that I want to see those makes for a woman or a girl.  Frilly & fancy or just plain Jane, as long as it's for or features someone female, it's all good.

This is what I did.....

I've made a Mother's Day card using a lovely wreath from Pernilla Nilsson.  I adore this wreath, it's so pretty.  You can't tell from the photo but I've Stickled up all those little dots for a subtle bit of glitter.
