Outside! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Outside!" which just means that I want to see those projects with an outdoor scene, or things that can be found outside.  So think, flower gardens, insects, animals in their habitat, kids playing outdoor sports, etc. etc. etc.  Lots of possibilities!

This is what I did.....

Isn't this digi absolutely adorable?  It's by Sherry West Art.  I was actually thinking about making the star multicoloured rather than yellow....after all, I'm sure the Star Wars universe has stars that are different colours, but I I decided to stick with yellow.  Added some gold Stickles for extra sparkle too.

Flutterby! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying "Flutterby" which just means that she'd like to see a butterfly or butterflies on your project.

I tried to make a card with a butterfly as the star.....I really did.  But, as you know, butterflies (and moths) are evil creatures with razor sharp feet that have no regard for other beings in this world as evident when they fly directly into people's faces at inopportune moments causing said person to flail around and almost fall off a bike, or have to bail out of the batter's box during a ball game (where's it's lucky that the umpire is laughing too hard to kick said batter off the field for the barrage of swear words loosed from that player's tongue) or mildly injuring one's back from having to do Keanu Reeves in The Matrix-like moves to avoid being horribly disfigured when one is walking across a lawn during mid summer....so I just couldn't make a completely butterfly centric card work.

But, I did manage something with butterflies on it....

I used a digi from A Day for Daisies.  And while the butterflies are quite small, there's three of them, so I think I'm good.  I even added a touch of Stickles to them.....not so much because I think they deserve some glitter, more because then I can make sure they are glued to the page.  I think this sweet lil fairy is thanking me for that because I'm pretty sure that one butterfly IS EATING THROUGH HER DRESS!

P.S.  It looks like A Day for Daisies has closed up shop again.  :(  If anyone knows different, please let me know in the comments.

Wreath! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she wants to see a wreath on your creation....or you could even make a wreath!

This is what I did.....

I went with this wreath from Pernilla Nilsson and made it into a Christmas wreath.  Not really sure if it's intended to be a Christmas wreath, but it did look very much like mistletoe to me.....so I went ahead and coloured it as if it were holly - ha!  I really wanted to go with very-solidly-Christmasy patterned paper but I didn't seem to have any that worked.  I've got, like, over 30 pads of holiday/winter paper pads, you'd think I could have found something.  Still, the paper did come from one of those pads, so technically, it is holiday paper, even if it's not very Christmasy.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! @ Little Red Wagon

  This week at

it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and, as you might remember, she's taking us on a journey through the 80s, using inspiration from that decade to set themes.  This week it's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!" which means she wants to see those feminine projects.  *she just wanna, she just wanna...*

This is what I did....

I'm not overly pleased with the colours I used for this.  My printer was being a poopoohead and printed the image (from Tiddly Inks) with some reddish coloured lines that were most visible in the hair, so I then decided to colour the hair an auburn colour.  I felt that limited my choices for Wryn's outfit which is why I ended up doing blue and green....with a splash of pink.  Not thrilled with how I did my sentiment really either.  Oh well, sometimes it is what it is.
