Make It Anything But Square or Rectangle! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at


it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Make It Anything But Square or Rectangle!" which just means that she would like to see those shaped projects.

I don't know why I don't do shaped cards more often.  I generally really enjoy making them and usually like how they turn out.  And there are so many different ways to make shaped cards.  This is what I did.....


I made a cup of tea card!  I just printed this digi (from the long-gone ): ) The Alley Way Stamps on bottom of some white cardstock and strategically folded it with the fold line running along the very top of the cup and cut it out.  Then it was just a matter of printing it again on patterned paper (cropping the image for only what I needed for each piece was printed) and paper piecing the digi.  Typed a sentiment in Word, used a tag die to cut it out, tied on some twine and secured the twine to the card by tying it to the handle.  And that was pretty much that.  It's a tad smaller than most of the cards I make, but too big to be a mini.  We'll just say it's a cute size.  (:

So, why not give our challenge a go this week and join us?  And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

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.
