Old MacDonald's Farm! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Old MacDonald's Farm!" which just means that she would like to see projects with farm animals.  E-i-e-i-o  (:

Okay, so I did a thing.  Because once this idea jumped into my head it wouldn't stop insisting I do it.  And, it was so darn persistent.  I tried to reason with it....I told it that there'd probably be a lot of people that wouldn't even get it.  Idea didn't care.  I told it that it was probably not as funny as it thought it was.  Idea still didn't care.  I told it that I would probably never be able to use the card to give to someone.  Idea gestured to all the different spots in my craft corner where there are scads of cards just sitting collecting dust.  I had to admit, that was a pretty good point.  

So, this is what I did......

So, yeah.  And, just so you're aware, this is where the inspiration came from, not the actual actual song....

Coz, really, why not?  (:  (Edited to add:  Just to note.....apparently the first chorus is "things are gonna get easier" while the second chorus is "things are gonna be easier".  Kinda wishing I went with the get instead.....)

Use a Digi! @ Little Red Wagon

  This week at

it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Use a Digi!".  As you know, I'm a (mostly) digital stamp user, so this is an easy one for me.  (:

This is what I did.....

I used a digi from Graciellie Designs.  My sentiment is computer generated in Word and printed directly on the card front.  Problem was.....I forgot to make my margins bigger than the actual card width to trick my printer into printing closer to the edge.  But, I thiiiiiiink I successfully covered that up with those two gems??  If I didn't, just lie and say I totally did, 'kay?  (:

Washi Any Way You Can @ Little Red Wagon

  This week at

it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Washi Any Way You Can", which just means that she would like to see you use washi tape on your project.

This is what I did....

Look, it's another digi from Mo's Digital Pencil!  I love this whimsical Christmas tree.  And, in case it's not obvious, those stripes of trees behind it are all washi tape.  Now, this is dollar store washi tape that's a couple of years old so I had to make sure to secure it on the black side of the panel it's on or else it wouldn't be sticking.  That's okay, the challenge doesn't say the tape has to be sticky.  (:

Also for:

My Time to Craft Christmas:  inspirational photo - I took inspiration from the tree cookie shape and the colours.

As You Like It:  round corners or straight edges - I prefer straight edges, I find it easier to design a square or rectangle card than a round one....besides. I'm fairly "square" myself.  (:

All About Chocolate! @ Little Red Wagon

  This week at

it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "All About Chocolate!" which means she wants to celebrate one of my favourite words, all.  Afterall, (see what I did there), the word all is the root of lots of different fantastic words like, tall, (a word that could describe all my babies & sub-babies) ball (which I'm hoping to play next year after a two years of pandemic cancelled seasons),  fall (the season, not the action, which we're all about to slide into here in the northern hemisphere), whatchamacallit (it's way more fun that saying, "that thing") and so many more....

Hahahahahahaha.  Of course, I'm being ridiculous.  My favourite word in this week's theme is definitely chocolate.  Anything from Lindt to Mint Smoothies from Rhéo Thompson (if you don't know Rhéo Thompson chocolate, you definitely should....even though it's just a candy store/factory located in Stratford, Ontario) to cheap $2.00 solid Easter bunnies.  I love 'em all.

But, did I use actual chocolates on my make this week?  Uh uh.  Can't trust myself around paper chocolates....good chance I'd try to eat them.  I went with the colour of chocolate instead....

But I made sure to make it sweet too.  (:  Digi is from Mo's Digital Pencil.
