Little Red Wagon Challenge Blog!

I am so excited to be a part of a brand new challenge blog! The Little Red Wagon is a fun place to challenge your creativity! Each Wednesday one of the seven Girlfriends will post a new challenge that we hope will inspire you to try something different with your scrapbooking supplies!

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!

Today is the first challenge! Be sure to visit the Little Red Wagon blog and join in the fun. Regan challenged us to use some sort of packaging to create our project. The products are usually my focus, but this challenge showed me that the packaging can also be useful too. I think I will be starting a stash of packaging for my future creations!

I decided to use the packaging from Jenni Bowlin's bingo cards. I have always loved these cards. I noticed that the very back card had mini versions of all the cards in the package along with the barcode etc. You will have to excuse my photo.....I was so excited about the challenge I started to cut up the card before taking a photo of it.

I cut out the small images and created this card!

Cardstock - Coordinations, Cuttlebug folder - Swiss Dot, Bingo Card packaging - Jenni Bowlin, Celebrate stamp - Close To My Heart, Scalloped border stamp - Stamping Bella, Ribbon, buttons, floss and bling - miscellanous stuff from my stash!

I hope you take some time and join in this fun challenge. Link your creations in the comment section of the Little Red Wagon blog. See you next week with another great challenge.
