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.

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.

  2. Such a cute card, Jan! I love the aperture you've created to show the background paper and your super cute image is beautifully colored – another digi site bites the dust :-( so sad. You're right about kraft paper, they are not all the same.

  17. Your bear is adorable!! I like the look of the two kraft layers - and really like the look of the embossed lighter layer. It all works so wonderfully well with the image.

  18. Hi Jan
    A great card .. .. you have created a great background for that fun bear. You have coloured him beautifully.
    Kraft card does come in a myriad of shades - but I must admit I haven't found one I don't like yet.
    I was a bit late to the party this time .. .. but just made it in time.
    Hope all is good with you.
    Love and hugs
    Jules xoxo

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
