World's Best Dad - Little Red Wagon

How is it Wednesday already? Wow, the week goes fast.

Today is another challenge day at Little Red Wagon, and Jayne has asked us to create something using only cardstock. That isn't as easy as you think it is.

As you all know, I love my Silhouette!!!  I decided to use it to make this awesome element for Father's Day!

My element is created using an SVG file from Miss Kates Cuttables!  I only used cardstock (and a little ink, of course).  I just love how it turned out.  

Once I had my completed element, I decided to add it to a frame with some cardstock stars and a photo of my hubby!  I did mount it on a patterned background, but since is wasn't part of my element I was hoping it wasn't cheating.

I hope you will play along with this weeks challenge and link it up over at the Little Red Wagon blog.  

Santa Monica Pier - LRW

What a beautiful Wednesday!!! I am in such a good mood today. The sun is shining and we have SOLD our house (in only 2 days)!! We are scheduled to move into our new house in Elora on July 8th, which means that we have lots and lots of packing to do.

I am starting to pack up most of my scrapbooking supplies, so I am going to be limited on what I can create. I am going to try and focus on Jay's travel book (although I might slip in something different too).

Today is another Little Red Wagon challenge and this week it is brought to you by Rosanne! She wants the team to use 3 or more patterned papers on our project. That was easy........

I decided to make another 'albums made easy' style layout to finish off the Santa Monica Pier.  I just love this style of scrapbooking.  It is fun, easy and really makes me feel like I am getting somewhere with this project.

There are definitely more than 3 different patterned papers on my pages, plus I was able to use up lots of little items I had in my stash.  I found this 'road trip' sign and a curly arrow....along with this chipboard word that said 'GO'.  I arranged them in the first slot to set the tone for my spread.

I used photos that really stood out from the day and tried to pair them up with appropriate embellishments.  Look at this cool, lazy dog laying around on the pier.  You couldn't help but smile and he certainly was resting and relaxed.  

Here are the handsome tourists posing for a photo with the ocean and mountains in the background.  

I used stickers to personalize a few spots.....a super easy way of journaling the day.

I had one photo left over from a previous layout that I did just focusing on this very LARGE snake that Jay and David spent some time with.   I included it on this page to recap the highlights of the day.  

Thanks for stopping by and visiting!  I hope you will check out the Little Red Wagon blog and play along with this weeks challenge.   Don't forget to link up your project so we can all see what you have created.  

Awesome - Little Red Wagon

It's Wednesday and I am excited to share a layout (yes, you read that correctly) that I made for the challenge for Little Red Wagon this week.

Regan challenged us to use metal on our project and I decided it was time for another layout for Jay's California album. 

With all the work we have been doing around our house to get it listed for sale, I really haven't had time to play with my scrapbooking stuff.  I found a similar layout on Pinterest so I used it as my starting point and added my own touches to make it my own.

I used a metal clip from Basic Grey's Hipster collection as my metal accent.  I love how my page turned out and it felt great to create something.  I hope you will take some time to play along.  Make sure you link up your creation on the Little Red Wagon blog. 

Just Saying Hello - Little Red Wagon

It's Wednesday and that means that there is another challenge up at Little Red Wagon!! Sorry I am a bit late.....but better late than never, right?

This week's challenge is to use cork. I had a sheet of cork in my stash and I was happy to give it a home.

I was in a bit of a rush this week so I visited Pinterest and cased this card.  In my rush to get the card done I forgot to get the link to the creator's blog (oops)!  I can't take full credit for this one, but I did make a few changes to make it my own.

I hope you play along with the challenge this week and visit the Little Red Wagon blog for some inspiration.

You Blow - Little Red Wagon

Wow, how did it get to be Wednesday already?  This week is going to be a fast one, that is for sure.

This week's Little Red Wagon challenge comes from Jan and she wants us to 'make it punny', which means she wants us to use a pun or play on words.  This is so Jan's sense of humor.

My daughter had some left over scraps from a birthday layout that she had been working on so she shared them with me and this is what I created.

I have been doing some organizing in my scrap area and found these rolled candles which matched perfectly.

Now, for the fun part........here is my 'punny' sentiment.  LOL!

Easy, peasy!  That never happens for me!  

Thank you to Jan for challenging us this week.  It was lots of fun.  I hope you take some time and play along with us.  Visit the Little Red Wagon blog and link up your creation and visit others to be inspired.
