I'm Still Standing @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing to take us through Elton John songs with this week being "I'm Still Standing" which means she wants to see those encouragement cards.

This is what I did.....

I used a freebie from Melonheadz Illustrating and made a (fairly cas) good luck card.

Slimline! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying she wants to see those slimline cards.  Generally, slimline cards are 3.5" x 8.5" but I'm betting she'd be happy seeing cards that are long and slim, even if they're not exactly "right".

I've fudged the measurements on slimline cards before but this one is indeed 3.5" x 8.5".....

When I was routing around in a drawer I came across these dog stickers I don't even remember buying....so I'm thinking I've had them for awhile.  (It's better to think that than to think I bought them recently but completely forgot about it!)  I thought they'd be perfect for this.  Admittedly, this card ended up so far away from what I had originally planned that you'd need a telescope to see it.....and that's only if the curvature of the earth didn't get involved.  I mean, grey grass?  But, I quite like it, and despite changing....well everything....it came together easily so I'm happy with the result.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Tea.  Earl Grey.  Hot." which means I want to see those makes that include hot drinks.

This is what I did....

Sentiment was made in Canva.  I'd like to point out that the seam binding, while maybe doesn't match exaaaaaaactly with the pink on the card, is definitely a lot less peach than it looks in the photo.

Fancy Fold! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Fancy Fold!" which means she wants to see fold that are beyond the standard card fold.

I struggled with this one.  Had an idea to do "curtains" as my fancy fold but just couldn't make it work.  Then I tried sticking with the same theme and doing "blinds" instead and have it be an interactive card but I couldn't get that to work either.  This is what I ended up doing....

Normally I'd say, "....but I got there in the end", but did I?  I don't think that's the case with this one.  Not to mention, those shutters hardly qualify as "fancy".  At any rate, I ran out of time to make something else so this'll have to do.
