It's time for another Crazy Card Party challenge and this week Regan wants to see some embossing.

Little Red Wagon #225 - Anything But A Card

Well, it's Wednesday again and that means it's time for another Little Red wagon challenge.

This week Jan wants us to put our paper crafting skills to work to create anything but a card.

It could be a layout, bookmark, altered project, tag( I didn't go there Jan!), or as in my case, a decorated gift bag:


This is actually a shopping bag that I decorated to cover the logo.

And I'm almost embarrassed to say that this bag took me about 15 minutes max to decorate, surely my challenge projects should take longer than that to complete?

Not this one, I used 6 by 6 coordinating paper by  MME, cut a scalloped piece along with two other pieces to fit, inked the edges,  then added a ready-made chipboard sticker, a bit of twine and voila!

If you can, please join us over at Little Red Wagon with your project, we love to see what you  create.

Crazy Card Party - Spring Colours!


Hello Everyone!

I'm hosting the challenge over at Crazy Card Party this week.


Since I'm starved for warm weather and colours other than white, I picked a spring colour theme.

The idea is to use that whatever colour comes to mind when you think of spring on your card.

I used a soft pink, soft green and cream cardstock to create this card:



Isn't it great what a bit of embossing does to cardstock?

And do you see the bit of green peeking out from under the pearls?

So leave winter behind and link up your spring-like card over at Crazy Card Party.

Thanks for stopping by.
