Little Red Wagon #23

It is Wednesday, and that means another challenge over at Little Red Wagon. My BFF made this awesome sketch and challenged us to use this when creating our cards this week. I love sketches. Here is my take on the sketch! Today is my dad's birthday, so I used the sketch to make him a special card. All the papers are scraps from my stash. I didn't cut into a full sheet of anything. The letters are old ones from Scenic Route (also not a brand new sheet). Ribbon is from American Crafts and I added some detail with a white pen and did some paper piercing.

I used a digital stamp that I had saved (not sure where I got it from, sorry). I printed it on a piece of white cardstock and then I printed it three more times on my pattern papers. I cut the images out of the patterns and adhered them on top of the image on the white using foam adhesive. I love to paper piece and thought I would try it out with this image. I love how it turned out.

When I was surfing the net the other night, I came across this challenge at Moxie Fab World so I thought I would enter my card there as well. I love some of the samples they show using the paper piecing. I hope you find time to play along with Joanne's challenge.

Oh ya, Happy Birthday DAD!

Movie Club Review!

It has been a while since I did a movie review. The girls and I did get together in March, but I ended up leaving the movie early because I wasn't feeling the best. I probably shouldn't have gone in the first place.

Tonight's get together was very last minute. It was Joanne's turn to pick and with us having such a busy month at the store we didn't even know if we would get a chance to get together with our club members. Thankfully it worked for everyone and we all made it.

Before I get to the movie review I want to fill you in on a little conversation I had with Jay (middle son) this evening. He has been out job hunting and one of the places that he has applied is the Galaxy! He had an interview on Saturday evening, that he felt went really well. We found out on Monday that the Galaxy had called one of his references (because he called to tell Jay) so we are hoping that is a good sign. Jay was also heading to the movies tonight and before we left he told his dad that if the Galaxy called tonight......tell them he is at the movies. We continued to joke and make up scenarios.......like how they would come into the theater and call out his name and announce to everyone that he got the job! We both have our fingers crossed that he hears something soon.

Anyways......on to the review! Joanne picked The Last Song! I didn't know this until recently, but there is a book and it is written by the same author that wrote The Notebook and A Walk To Remember. These are two of my favourite movies (I don't read books). I was very excited to see this movie and I had no idea what it was about. I knew that Miley Cyrus was staring in it and that was good enough for me.

I don't want to give you too much information, but basically Ronnie (Miley) and her brother stay with their dad for the summer and Ronnie is not happy about it. She meets this 'hunk of a guy' and falls in love. There is a lot more that goes on, but you get the idea. I highly recommend that you bring tissues, because you are going to need them.

I rate this one a 9! It was fabulous..........thanks Joanne, great pick! Oh by the way, we made a new rule with the movie club......whoever picks the movie has to supply the necessary amount of tissue required. Hope you get a chance to get out and see this one!

Little Red Wagon #22

The sun is shining and the birds are singing! It is going to be a glorious day. Deanna issued the challenge over at Little Red Wagon this week and it is just the perfect fit for this week. She challenged us to do something 'Spring'.


Here is my take on the Spring challenge. I had coloured this image a while back using a stamp from Stamping Bella and I thought it looked rather springy! All the papers are leftover from a project at the store using the new Green at Heart from Basic Grey! Ribbon is from American Crafts.

Check out what the rest of the girls did with this challenge and be sure to make some time to play along.

Easter Funny!

I came across this Easter cartoon and I thought it was sort of funny!

Enjoy your Monday!

Little Red Wagon #21

The sun is shining and we are expecting a high of 13 degrees here today. Spring is just around the corner and this challenge from Rosanne reminded me of Spring. Soft pastel colours and the warmth of this photo all reminded me of Spring.

Rosanne challenged us to get our inspiration from the above photo. I have been a little short on time lately and I haven't been spending much time in my craft room. I found this card that I had done at a class when I first started using my Copic markers. I thought is was perfect for this challenge.

Ella is one of my favourite Stamping Bella stamps! No matter how you colour her, she just turns out so cute. This was my first attempt at faces and hair. I was pretty impressed with the results.
