Challenge # 170 - Jars!

Happy Wednesday!

It's Rosanne here with this week's challenge and I don't know about you but I'm totally inspired by all the different ways people use jars, just search on Pinterest and you'll find hundreds.

So I thought why not have a Little Red Wagon challenge featuring jars. It can be a diecut, stamp, patterned paper or even a decorated glass jar.

I dug through my wagon and created a jar filled with buttons to place on my card:

So dig through your wagons and link up your creation below!

Get into Shape Challenge

The new year always comes with lots of resolutions to "get into shape". I know am always talking about the need to exercise more--but that just cuts into crafting time, doesn't it? ;)

So this week, I'm challenging you to get into shape in your crafting space by use a shape repeatedly (that's right--lots of reps).

Here's what I came up with:

It's not a typical shape, but I did use it repeatedly to create the pattern. Be sure to check out what the other girls on the DT created, and then link up your project below.

Challenge #166 - Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone! Our first challenge of 2013 is to create a New Year's card.

For my inspiration card, I went fairly clean and simple. I used a printable image and combined it with some matching papers.

I then added a bit of ribbon and a button with twine.

Why not join us in welcoming the new year by making a card to celebrate 2013! Just link up your creation below - we would love to see what you create :)

The Story

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 to use some of the supplies they have acquired. 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!
