LRW - Make An Impression

Hello!!  I am hosting this week's challenge for Little Red Wagon and I really wanted to 'make an impression'!!  I want to see dry embossing on your projects.

Here is what I came up with!!

I tried an inking technique with my embossing folder to create my background.  I am not sure that I love it, but it was fun to experiment!!

I hope you will play along with me.  If you need some more inspiration, visit the other girlfriends blogs and then link up your creation on the Little Red Wagon blog.  Have fun :)

LRW - Distress It

Oh how I love Wednesday's!!! It is a new challenge day over at Little Red Wagon, and this week Tracy is our hostess.  She wants us to 'Distress It'.  We can use Distress inks, fray edges, tear it.....whatever we like.

I chose to pull out my Distress inks and play.  I created a background for these beautiful daffodils.  I also distressed the edges of my papers with Distress ink too.

I am so ready for Spring to arrive in full force.  We have had a few nice days, here and there, but the cold temperatures keep returning.  Maybe this card will help!!

Be sure to visit the other girlfriends blogs for some inspiration and then create your own distressed project.  Don't forget to link it up over at the Little Red Wagon blog.

LRW - 'B'lieve It

Little Red Wagon has a great challenge this week, brought to us by Jan!!  She wants us to use things that start with 'B' on our projects.  Very clever.

I have several things that start with the letter 'B'.  B for black, B for bling, B for bow, B for banner, and lastly, B for blossom (on my background paper).

I also dug to the 'B'ottom of my wagon to find this pattern paper.  So there is another one.

I hope you will play along with this fun challenge and link your project up over on the Little Red Wagon blog.  Don't forget to check out the other girlfriends 'B' projects.

I also entered my card in the following challenges:

Get Creative Challenges - Use pink, green & purple

Fan-Tastic Tuesday - Use twine or string

Paperminutes - Neon

LRW - Seeing Spots

This week at Little Red Wagon Joanne has the greatest challenge.  She wants to see spots, dots and/or blots on our projects!!  I did all of the above :)

I used spotted paper from Bo Bunny for my balloons and then dotted it with Glossy Accents.  For my background I used a stamp and made colourful blots!!!  It was so much fun!!

I hope you will have some fun with this challenge and play along.  If you needs some inspiration, visit the other girlfriends and then link up your project over at the Little Red Wagon blog.

LRW - Travelogue

The challenge for Little Red Wagon is to make something that is inspired by a country. Well, this really stumped me, so I did a little research.

Who knew there were so many different countries?  I didn't.  When looking at the list of choices, I was drawn in by all of the warm, tropical places (it was a very long winter, lol).  I decided to do something inspired by the country Bahamas!!!!!

Here is my card :)

Yup, this is totally what I think of when I think of the Bahamas!  Did you know that Bahamas is made up of 700 islands (only about 30 of which are inhabitated) and 2400 uninhabitated inlets?  I didn't either.....just a little geography lesson for ya :)

Be sure to visit the other girlfriends and see what countries they chose!!  Be sure to link up your creation over on the Little Red Wagon blog.
