G is for Gentleman! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing to work her way through the alphabet and she's saying, "G is for Gentleman!" meaning she wants to see those masculine makes.

This is what I did.....

I went with this amazing digi from Poppy Lane Digital (whose Etsy shop appears to be closed ): ) and made a birthday card.  I absolutely love this style of digi stamp.  Sentiment was made in Canva.

I need to make a very important announcement.  Even though the sentiment states "When life sends you a birthday...eat cake!" I would like to point out that anytime life sends you anything is an appropriate time to eat cake.  Got sent an email?  Cake.  Got sent to the 'next available agent'?  Cake.  Got sent a package from Amazon?  Well, hopefully it's cake, because cake.  I rest my case.

Circle of Life @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing with Elton John themed challenges and she's saying (singing), "Circle of Life" which means she would like to see a circle or circles on your project.

This is what I did.....

Let's see, I've got a circle wreath on a stitched die cut circle on a scalloped circle with some pearls which are also circles.  And, if you want to get really technical, there are a lot of dots on both the wreath and the patterned paper which could also count as circles, so I think I'm covered.  Digi was made in Canva.

Be Krafty! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Be Krafty!" which means she would like to see kraft paper on our projects.

This is what I did.....

I used to use kraft cardstock a lot.....but for quite some time I haven't found kraft paper I really like.  I really like the top kraft paper (that I embossed) but I'm down to scraps, which is why the card base is a completely different shade of kraft that I'm not very fond of.  Digi is from The Cat's Pajamas, which has closed.  ):  Tag is a digi from LOTV.

Set a Course...For Home @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Set a Course...For Home" which means I would like to see projects that have any kind of building on them.

This is what I did....

I made this up in Canva...except for the lil hearts, they are stamped with an old little wooden stamp I picked up from somewhere and have had forever.  Let me tell you, was I ever holding my breath when I did the stamping as I didn't think of doing it until the entire card was put together.  Add that to the fact that my ink pads are mostly cheapies I've gotten here or there and they are fairly ancient (as far as ink pads go) and since it was a wooden stamp, I couldn't use my Misti.  (I know, I probably could have pried the stamp off the block, but I also don't really have anything that would make the stamp stick to the Misti).....anyhoo, that's a lot of explanation for something that actually turned out almost perfectly.  (Just don't look too closely at the green heart.)
