Black & White Plus One Colour! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying she wants to see projects that are black and white with just one other colour.

This is what I did.....

It's cards like this that make me love being on a Design Team.  (I also love being a LRW DT member because I get to be a part of a group of talented ladies, who are absolutely amazing!!)  Would I have ever coloured this stamp from Stamplorations like this if I wasn't using it for this challenge?  Nope, I would not have.  I wouldn't have had even an inkling to colour it like this, which would have been a shame because I think it makes for a unique Christmas card.

Can I just say, we have been spoiled ROTTEN in midwestern Ontario (Canada) with the weather this year, particularly into late summer/early fall.  It rarely rains and temps are very warm.  Like *casts look around room* *leans in closer to the screen and whispers*, almost too warm.  Definitely might be just me thinking that but I did go on a little tirade to my daughter about how come it's the first time in 13 years she hasn't played league fastball and it's still 25ºC at 9:00pm at night so I wouldn't have had to freeze while watching her play.  The weather has started to turn cooler now, though it was still 19ºC on Sunday night at dusk.

My pup has been loving it too as we've almost never had to skip a walk.  I had gotten in the habit of taking her for a walk in the morning and in the evening, figuring with rainouts (and needing wait for our country gravel road to dry up) there would be days where she wouldn't get a walk at all and it would all even out.  But it never rains....and when it does, it happens in the middle of the day, after our morning stroll and dries by the evening.  There's also a chance I might be typing all this as a way to procrastinate going for a walk this morning.....and also, because of the harrowing incident I had last night.  When Miley and I got back to the end of our laneway, I was opening our mailbox to get the mail when a moth flew directly in my face at the same time one of our neighbours (who are hunters) shot at something, I yelled "JESUS CHRIST!" so loud I'm pretty sure my Mennonite neighbours won't wave to me the next time I see them.

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. 

Edited to add:  Dear Mother Nature.  I sincerely and humbly apologize for saying "almost too warm" in the paragraph above.  We do jokes here at Huh.  So This is a Blog.  From time to time, we try to make corners of the Reader's mouth upturn just a lil titch, I really didn't mean to offend you in any way, shape or form.  I do appreciate the lesson you taught me tonight when I walked out of work at 8:30pm and it was 5ºC - thank you.  In the future I will strive to be more sensitive and more aware of the tone and messaging of my posts.  If you could possibly not do that again, at least not for a month or so, when 5ºC would be a perfectly expected and acceptable temperature, I would be ever so grateful.  Thank you for your consideration.

As You Like It:  favourite card base shape - I love making square cards.  I think a square card sets it apart from store-bought cards (as they are usually rectangular).  I also love my stitched square dies so I use them a lot.  (:
