Use That Stash! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she wants us to use that stash!  I'm sure we all have some not often used crafty item(s) we can find for this theme.  

This is what I did....

I used some old patterned paper as well as a sentiment and image (both from Create With TLC) as well as some ancient bling that I haaaaaad to have but have never used. A bit of distressing and that's that.

Make It Sew! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Make It Sew!" which means, you guessed it, I want to see sewing on your make.

Back in the day, I used to do a lot of sewing on my cards using thread and an actual sewing machine.  With the popularity of stitched dies, I've definitely taken that route to get "sewing" on my cards for a number of years now.  I can't even remember the last time I pulled out the ole sewing machine.  I do still like the look of actual sewing on a card....but with the extra time sewing takes and the extra weight and sometimes lumpiness it adds to cards, I think I'll stick to the easy way.  (:

This is what I did....

Snowman is one of my very favourite digis from Tiddly Inks.  A couple of stitched dies, and some word stickers and there's another Christmas card for my stash.

Birthdays! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's got an easy one for you.  She wants to see those birthday projects.

This is what I did....

Piggy stamp is a set I got at a craft yard sale with no manufacturer packaging.  The sentiment is one I've had for ages....like one of the very first sets I bought back in, like, 2012.  I embossed it, though you can't really tell in the photo.  Oh, and I'll be taking no questions or comments about the inked sky background - thank yew.

C is for Circles! @ Little Red Wagon

 This week at

it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's taking us through the alphabet with this week being, "C is for Circles!" which means, you guessed it, she would like to see circles on your project.

You know, some weeks I feel like I didn't really represent the challenge theme well.....

...but this is not one of those weeks.  (:  Bear with circle cheeks in a circle wreath, on a circle that's on a scalloped circle that's on patterned paper with snow globes with two circle buttons just to round (Hahaha, see what I did there?) everything out.

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues @ Little Red Wagon

This week at

Kate is taking us through a stroll of Elton John songs and this week it's "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" which means, you guessed it, she wants to see blue on your project.

This is what I did....

Let's see....I've got blue cardstock, blue in the patterned paper, lovely plant lady (from Poppy Lane Digital on Etsy but, very unfortunately, I can't locate the shop ):), and I also....

 ...used blue foil on the sentiment.  I absolutely adore digis that have heavy shadows, so, needless to say, I loooooove this one.  I really hope the artist is just taking a holiday and has not decided to close up shop.

Made this for my sub-baby Brieana.  She's a plant-lover, so this image was perfect.
