It's Still Rock and Roll To Me @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

Kate is continuing to take us through Billy Joel songs with this week being, "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me" which means she wants to see those vintage or retro makes.

This is what I did....

I found this retro graphic online and built the card around it.  This will be going to a sub-baby who will get a kick out of it.

Signs of Spring! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge she's saying, "Signs of Spring!" meaning she would like to see those makes that are about, or remind us of, spring.

We could use some signs of spring 'round here.  Had a couple of beautiful days last week followed by a couple of days of high winds, snow and freezing rain.  On Monday morning it was 11ºC and pouring rain and 0ºC by 4pm with high winds and a snow squall watch in effect.  Boooooo

Anyhoo, I guess we can celebrate spring in paper form with a card like this....

It took me a bit to come up with something for this challenge, everything I was trying was....well....let's say boooooooooo again.  Finally settled on doing something outside my norm by covering the front of a card with felt flower die cuts.  I then decided it needed something just a smidge more so I mounted the card front on a card front.  And sorted.

Boy Inside the Man @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm continuing on with the theme of some of my favourite songs by Canadian artists with this week being, "Boy Inside the Man" which means I'd like to see those projects for or about men and/or boys.  

This is what I did.....

I made a birthday card for my grandbaby's birthday in a couple of months.  Digi is from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Now, a bit about the song....."Boy Inside the Man" is a 1986 song from Tom Cochrane & Red Rider.  It's about the rite of passage that covers the ages from 17 to 31 .  I've linked to a "revisited" version on YouTube as there is no music video for the song and the sound quality of the older videos are pretty atrocious.  This version stays fairly true to the original song.  If you're not Canadian, you may have heard of Tom Cochrane's (he went solo in 1991) global hit "Life is a Highway".  That song reached number 1 in Canada, number 6 on the Billboard Top 100 in the US and reached the top 2 in both New Zealand in Australia.  Can't say I'm that big of a fan of "Life is a Highway".....and that's mostly Rascal Flatts' fault.  They covered the song for the movie Cars, which was a favourite of my middlest and he went through a period where he watched it everyday for, I dunno, felt like a year. Definitely not a fan of Rascal Flatts and one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when country singers cover rock songs.  If you're interested in checking out other songs by Tom Cochrane, I highly recommend "Big League", "Victory Day" and "Stonecutter's Arms".  Afaik Rascal Flatts kept their grubby and unnecessarily twangy mitts off those songs.
