This week at


it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's going easy on us.....she just wants us to use a stamp!

This is what I did.....

Piano Man @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing with Billy Joel songs with this week's being what I'm guessing is one of his most well-known songs (for good reason), "Piano Man" which means she would like to see those projects that are inspired by music.

This is what I did....


Yet another Christmas tag, this one being inspired by "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas".  Stamp is from Hero Arts.  This tag also features some very well behaved Stickles.

Feather, Fur and Fin @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Feather, Fur and Fin" which means I want to see any animal or critter on your make.

This is what I did....


Another tag for the Christmas box.  The stamp is from The Cat's Pajamas, (who are no longer in business ): ).

"Feather, Fur and Fin" is a 2008 song by Danny Michel, who is from Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.  It's a commentary, and cautionary tale on how we treat the environment.  To give you a sample, the chorus goes:  "Every little critter | with feather, fur & fin | cried to Mother Nature | to come back for them | for every piece of litter | for every little sin | She cried for all of them | feather, fur & fin."  There is an official video for the song on YouTube, but I found it quite frantic and visually hard to watch, so if you want to hear the song, I would suggest you do so however you listen to music.  Unfortunately, not much has changed since 2008 and so the song is still very relevant today.  Danny Michel has another protest-style song he released in April 2025 called "Northern Star" which very nicely captured how most Canadians were feeling at that time, as well as paying hommage to past protest songs and artists.  Song title is linked to the YouTube video is you'd like to experience it for yourself.

O is for Outdoor @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "O is for Outdoor" which means she wants to see projects featuring all the places that aren't inside.

This is what I did.....


As you can see, I'm featuring the great outdoors with trees and snow.  And a twine bow that I'm definitely going to trim those unruly ends of before it gets used.  I should point out, that big splat there is most assuredly from a thrown snowball during the Bush League Bandits Annual Snowball Fight and not a deposit from some large bird......despite the fact that it looks like the deposit from some large bird.

That Song @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm continuing to showcase some of my favourite Canadian songs with this week being, "That Song" which means I want to see those projects inspired by or about a song.

This is what I did....


I think you can guess which song inspired me.  Image is from the Homespun Holiday stamp set from Ellen Hutson.

Now a bit about "That Song"......first, can I just say that when the song was released in 1998, obviously Big Wreck had no idea there would be a future where people could say "Hey [insert your Smart Speaker here] play 'That Song' by Big Wreck." because the speaker can't hear the fact that "That Song" is capitalized and is the actual name of a song and you're not just asking to hear a song by Big Wreck that you can't remember the name of.  Luckily enough, my Alexa usually plays "That Song" when I ask for it but instead of saying the usual "Playing 'That Song' by Big Wreck" it says "Here is a song I found by Big Wreck".  

"That Song" reached number 31 on Canada's singles chart and between 1995 and 2016, it was the most played song by a Canadian artist on rock radio stations in Canada....which is a tiny perplexing bit  of information seeing as the song was recorded in 1996 and released in 1998.  So.....??  Anyhoo, it's a song about nostalgia....and the drums go harder on it than necessary (at least in my no musical knowledge whatsoever opinion)  but in the best way possible.  Give it a listen....I recommend listening to the song however you consume music instead of going to YouTube because the song quality on the official video (which doesn't do the song justice, imo) is not great.

Easter Projects! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she wants to see those projects you made for Easter.  Confession.....I totally cheated.  LRW is a papercraft challenge blog and I went and made.....


crocheted bunnies.  So, no paper involved.  My middlest and his girlfriend bought a house and moved in over Easter weekend.  I figured that with everything they needed to purchase and do, it wouldn't even cross their minds to have any Easter decor bought or up so I made them these bunnies so they'd have a lil something. ♥

L is for Leftovers! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing to take us through the alphabet with this week being, "L is for Leftovers!" which means she wants to see those projects using leftover bits and bobs.

This is what I did....


I found this snowguy (a favourite from Close To My Heart) in my discard bin so I coloured him up and die cut the tag.  Snowman's paper pieced hat was from a scrap of paper.  (One of the benefits of clear stamps over digis is that you can use the tiniest pieces of paper for paper piecing.)  The Let It Snow tag was also from a scrap.

Anything Neutral in Colours! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Anything Neutral in Colours!" which means she wants to see projects that are mainly in those neutral colours.....black, white, kraft, beige etc.

This is what I did.....


I've been on a roll with these tags.  Figured it made sense to knock a few out while I had all the supplies on my desk.  Penguins and pennant are an unbranded dies, the larger tags are Your Next Stamp (closed).

Story time.....For the past couple of Christmases, I've gifted a dinner out to one of our family's favourite restaurants to my babies and sub-babies to be enjoyed in January.  One of the reasons I stipulate in January is because the restaurant runs a promotion where if you visit in November or December you get a 'red envelope' that contains a prize.  The prize is anything from a complimentary drink to a free weekly meal for a year.  These envelopes have to be opened at the restaurant in January.  We made plans to go the Saturday before last but when we got there, the place was a zoo!  Wait time for a table was an hour and 15 minutes.  Needless to say, we decided we'd go back another time.

Since we didn't want to have a repeat of that Saturday (the restaurant doesn't allow reservations for Saturdays), we decided to visit during the week.  Made plans for Thursday but wicked blowing snow closed a number of roads, as well as the highway to the restaurant.  Decided to go Friday, roads still weren't open.  By Friday night I was stomping around the house saying, "If I don't get Pebbles and to see my grandbaby tomorrow I'm gonna start a war."

Saturday came with sunshine and way less windy conditions so we headed off to go for lunch.  My middlest drove, which was a nice change as I'm always going places solo, so I'm always driving.  I joked with him that one day he'd need to install running boards on his pick up, or he'd have to start carrying a stool so I could get into his truck.  Enjoyed a nice ride up to the restaurant.  We got there a couple of minutes early, and waited as my oldest, his wife and son backed into the parking spot beside us.  I went to get out of the truck and.....well, to use a very Canadian saying, absolutely ate sh&t.  (For those not familiar with that Canuck colloquialism, it means to fall down hard, most often used when slipping on snow or ice.)  

So, there I was sitting in the snow, left arm still holding on to the armrest on the truck door (which was quite a stretch) other hand still clutching my 'red envelopes' (you know, because priorities).  When I went down, I remember hearing various noises and exclamations from my dining companions.  Then someone asked, "Did you just fall?"  To which I replied, "No, I just decided to sit down here in the snow" in a very rude tone.  (As a rule, I'm not a rude person, but I was fairly shocked and had yet to see if I was broken.)  Found out later, my sub-baby, who was riding in the passenger seat in front of me, couldn't see me and thought maybe in my haste to see my grandbaby, I was already around to the other side of my oldest's truck and had left my door open.     

As I sat there, frozen for a second (both in movement and because my butt was started to absorb the snow....well, except for my mouth, apparently) I sent a request to my brain to take stock of my current condition.  My brain replied immediately, "Well, you definitely peed yourself."  To which I replied, "OBVIOUSLY" with a couple swear words thrown in for good measure.  

By this time, my oldest had gotten around to where I was to see if I was okay.  And, by golly, I actually was.  He helped me up, made sure I had my footing, and into the restaurant we went.  Once I stopped marveling at the fact that nothing was broken, and I really wasn't even hurt (save for a bit of stiffness and a couple of bruises on my back) I started to become concerned about how much of my backside was wet from the snow and how much might be from.....other reasons, even though I was pretty sure it was only barely worse than those times I've sneezed without taking the proper precautions.  (I don't think I'm the only one who has to do that 'crouch and protect' stance if sneezing while standing up.)

There was a bit of a line up when we went in so I bypassed it and made a beeline to the washrooms.  Got sorted.....and decided going commando would be the best option.  In the process, I was thinking to myself that having an 'in case of emergency' pair of undies tucked into my purse would be a good business decision.....then I paused and pulled my purse of the bathroom door hook and checked the spot where I had thought I would stash a pair....and triumphantly pulled out fresh undies.  Sometimes past me is a FREAKING GENIUS.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful.  Stuffed myself silly, collected my won loaf of fresh baked bread and sat blissful in the back seat in a food coma.  Though I must say, did I ever slide out of the truck ever so carefully at our next stop.  Pretty sure past me didn't stash two pairs of underwear in my purse.

K is for Keep It Simple @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing to take us through the alphabet with "K is for Keep It Simple" which means she wants to see those cas makes.

This is what I did....


Yeppers, it's another tag.  Actually, it's another tag on a tag on a tag but who's counting?  The dove stamp is from The Cat's Pajamas which has sadly closed.  The sentiment stamp, the "olive branch" (which I cut from a fuzzy sheet of....felt?....let's say felt, I got from the dollar store ages ago) die and the small tag were all picked up at a crafty garage sale.  Larger tags are from Your Next Stamp, which has also sadly closed.

River of Dreams @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's going with Billy Joel songs this year, and first up it's "River of Dreams" which means she would like to see projects to do with nighttime or dreaming etc.

I made my very first tag for Christmas 2026.....


....and went with a snowy nighttime scene.  Got the word night as well as a tiny moon by the sentiment (that is actually on the sentiment stamp, so no extra stamping there) on there too.

Looking at it now, I wish I had taken the time to put different shades of yellow for the light in the windows rather than just slapping a rectangle of yellow cardstock on the back of the die cut.  Next time....well maybe.  Oh, and I both embossed and debossed the snowflake background and that was definitely a style decision and not because I put the tag in backwards at first.

Use the Force! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's me who's got the last LRW challenge of the year as we tetter on the edge of 2025, and I'm saying, "Use the Force!" which mean I want to see some pressure exerted on your make.  It could be with an embossing folder, or die cuts, or foiling, or letterpress, or punches or even stamping!  That's a whole lot of different techniques right there, so you don't have an excuse not to join in.  (-;

This is what I did.....


Look it's another tag!  I KNOW!  Bear with me for some explanation.....

As I said in a previous post, I've generally been rubbish at making tags....but I might have broken that curse.  (Though, probably shouldn't call it a curse.  Coz if it was a curse, it's not very concerning as far as curses go.)  For Christmas, I'm in charge of making the handmade items for the lil Christmas bags for the Board members for my one job.  (I work for a hospital foundation which raises the money needed to buy equipment for the hospital, as there is no funding for equipment from the government.)  So, I do the cards and small handmade item (this year it was tree slice ornaments that were painted and had a vinyl sentiment applied - got the idea from here).  This year I also included tags for the outside of the bags as I had found a tag kit I must have gotten for free from somewhere a long time ago (because finding it was a total surprise to me).  The kit didn't have enough tags for all the gifts so I ended up making two more on my own - this one and the one posted earlier this month.  Another total surprise to me....not only were/are those two tags postable, I actually like how they turned out.    

So, since I was lucky enough to make a total of two whole tags I liked, I decided that I would make tags again for next year's Christmas bags.  Because, truth be told, I've already got two baskets full of cards that don't have places to go, and while it's sometimes nice to make things that don't have a specific purpose, just because I have an inkling to make them, I don't really want to have three baskets full of cards that don't have places to go.

All this to say.....you'll probably be seeing a lot more tags in the future.  Since nothing stymes my mojo more than having to make something RIGHT NOW, the plan is to start making the tags tout suite, and have them all ready in good time for Christmas 2026.  I guess we'll all see how that turns out.  (:

Not a Card! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Not a Card!" so she wants to see anything but.

This is what I did....


I delved into my drawer of items to alter and pulled out this lil shadow box.  Dressed it up with some Christmas paper and embellis and that was that.  I'll probably add a ribbon to hang it, and I'll find a spot for it for Christmas.

Halloween Is Coming! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's going observant for this one and she's saying, "Halloween Is Coming!" which means she'd like to see those Halloween projects.

I don't do much for Halloween anymore since my kids are all adults.  I do give out treats, of course, but living in the country means we don't get many kids, just a couple of great-nieces and great-nephews who live close.  I do tend to indulge in some Halloween eating though.  I've got a tip for that.....well this one might work just for me.  I buy a couple of boxes of full size chocolate bars from Costco because, as it turns out, I have no problem having a mini chocolate bar here and a mini chocolate bar there until I've eaten the equivalent of two and a half full size chocolate bars in a day but I tend not to reach for the full size chocolate bars.  So, this way it works out better for me.  And, do the kids faces ever light up when they see that they're getting a "big" chocolate bar.  When you're in the country, you're expected to give a fairly big haul for each kid so chocolate bars aren't the only thing they'll get but for the sake of my reputation, we won't get into my behavior concerning the mini bags of chips.

I did make up a little treat box for this challenge....


I used a tutorial and made this with my Envelope Board Punch, but I can't remember exactly which one I used.  If you would like to make one, I'm sure could just Google and find one that'll work.  Added an ancient jack-o-lantern sticker, a digi stamp from Create With Tlc for the tag, and it was done.

Shapely! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Shapely!" which means I want to see those makes that aren't square or rectangle.

This is what I did....



I made a Christmas tree ornament in the shape of a pennant.  And it's a shaker too!  Which, you would think I was active shaking when I took the photo given how blurry the bottom of it looks.  I think my phone was having a hard time focusing on the glitter die cut and that's why it's so fuzzy.
