Small or Large? @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's asking, "Small or Large?" which just means that she would like to see projects that are either on the small side or the large side.

Originally, I was going to make something large, but then I remembered this little die I had just received so I went with.....

....small!  It's a tag, believe it or not.  I was planning on just having the little purse be the entire make but it seemed to be a little too little so I put it on a couple of circles.  Tag measures 3" x 3".  Not sure why the twine on the top of the tag has decided to be so wonky....it resisted all efforts to tame it so I just left it as is.  Purse and tag dies are no-namers and the embossed sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

Bicycle Race! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing with her inspired by Queen's songs themes and she's saying "Bicycle Race!" which means she wants to see projects featuring transportation.  Vroooom, vrooom....

I went a little outside the box with this one and did this....

A buggy is certainly transportation for a baby, right?  I know this photo is on a bit of a weird angle, but it does show off that I foiled the sentiment, which is why I used it.  I had originally planned to go with green or yellow so I could use this for any baby but once I got the image printed out, it screamed pink to me, so pink is what I went with.  I know (and agree) we should be well over the whole colour/gender issue by now but, unfortunately, we're not.  ):

Dog Days! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Dog Days!" which means, you guessed it, she wants to see a dog on your project.

This is what I did.....

Had this cutie, from Sassy Cheryl's Stamps, coloured up for a bit now but just couldn't seem to make a card using it.  Seeing as this was the perfect challenge to use her, I made it work this time.  I used letter stickers for the sentiment because my printer apparently went on vacation (without the required notice, of course) and would not print out the Word-generated sentiment I had typed.  Joke's on it though coz I think this was the better choice anyway.  So, ha.

Craft With Kraft! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Craft With Kraft!" which just means that you need to use kraft paper on your project.

This is what I did....

Made a card for my husband's niece's upcoming bridal shower.  I know it looks like I put those paper flowers a wee bit too close to the words....but kinda had to go that way.  Since I was foiling the sentiment, I had to print it out with my laser printer....which I don't normally use for crafting, so am not very familiar with which direction the paper needs to be for printing.  And since I didn't notice there was a couple of tiny words on that piece of patterned paper (my intention was to print the sentiment nowhere near that small cluster of graphics on an otherwise just striped piece of patterned paper) which are upside down compared to the sentiment until after I foiled it, well, rather than go through the whole process again, I just covered up my mistake with said flower.  Ta-da.

Multipurpose! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Kate's turn to host the challenge and it's all about those multipurpose projects.  You know, the kind of cards (or non-cards) that can be used for any occasion.

This is what I did.....

I was looking through some of my supplies and I found this cutie already printed and cut out from back when I used to always colour on textured cardstock and thought Wryn (from Tiddly Inks) would work perfectly for this challenge.  So, coloured her up I did.

Hey, have you ever got your photos taken of a make, downloaded that photo, just about started editing that photo, and realize that you didn't even finish your card?  Coz, that's just what happened to me.  In fact, I seriously considered just using that photo and rolling with it.....but since I'm stuck waiting on an email in order to work on what I need to work on, I didn't let myself away with it.  So, added the button and Stickles I did.  (And, for the record, I fixed the button after I saw this photo.)

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.
