I feel as though I have been quite neglectful of my blog in the past few months! With a new job taking me in a totally different direction, I do not have the time or inclination to be as crafty as I have been over the past few years and that is what I would normally blog about.<br />
<br />
But, I still love reading and below is the list of books that I have enjoyed during 2015. Again it has been quite a literary journey and I have enjoyed the places I have traveled to in my imagination.

Donna is our challenge hostess this week at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a> and she wants to see turkeys. Lots and lots of turkeys!<br />
<br />
I had fun creating a paper-pieced turkey for my card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I cut him out using my Silhouette Cameo and then paired him with some pretty papers, ribbon, buttons and a silly sentiment :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Will you add a turkey to our rafter? (I had to look that term up. A group of wild turkeys is called a flock, whereas a domesticated group is called a rafter or gang. Who knew?) Stop by <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Little Red Wagon</b></span></a> and link up your design. Also, be sure to visit the Girlfriends on the Design Team. They will have some amazing inspiration for you. <br />

<br />
Well, I really mixed it up, because I ended up using 4 patterned papers instead of 3 and only because I didn't pay close enough attention to the challenge description the first time I read it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjabNWxNVy93UEfzZaw9iYosfy9TodbuctNjUGW6yiOju3WzMtpX_Z4M7lFl-u34s49qE1-uR47tTQOZwO56xAk2GhYd_cWL5LuSFjNhPJxZRWFltayanGTJ6aUZXf682VUbwRDaj-3UmA/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjabNWxNVy93UEfzZaw9iYosfy9TodbuctNjUGW6yiOju3WzMtpX_Z4M7lFl-u34s49qE1-uR47tTQOZwO56xAk2GhYd_cWL5LuSFjNhPJxZRWFltayanGTJ6aUZXf682VUbwRDaj-3UmA/s640/001.JPG" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
I cut my leaves out of coordinating patterned papers, inked them (just for Carolyn!) and added them to my Kraft background. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJlgS05cXfM_g5Sv-zVGQ7H8kNyx5AXt2QXMYyrjGImDs0Eq_yN1tD3xrgg4nBY5FPiR6kwpsBXqzq9Sd8z1Ulcsp7o1gCKnO6iND4m-S0OBDWMD3BV34IlLBCfHfES28ox0V6fuKWc7Q/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJlgS05cXfM_g5Sv-zVGQ7H8kNyx5AXt2QXMYyrjGImDs0Eq_yN1tD3xrgg4nBY5FPiR6kwpsBXqzq9Sd8z1Ulcsp7o1gCKnO6iND4m-S0OBDWMD3BV34IlLBCfHfES28ox0V6fuKWc7Q/s640/002.JPG" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Then a simple ribbon, a lovely button and a fun sentiment finished my card off.<br />
<br />
What comes to your mind when you think of using 3 patterned papers? I hope you will share your creativity with us by linking up your project at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a>. Also, be sure to visit the Girlfriends' blogs. There will be lots of great inspiration waiting for you.<br />

And time for another great challenge at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a>. This week Janice wants to see ghosts & goblins, witches, monsters, cute trick-or-treaters... anything Halloweenie!<br />
<br />
I decided to color up a cute image called "Patches the Ghost".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWDu-6eczWeBvOp-tUp99w5hqvx3F6n0c55v5d16em1zyQF-OoHU88qE0aci9sr5czrF5jDPCETo6czzvPL5nCTQaJBGUBBiVSAG4bJSguoFSRej0fU8G8yO4U8TGj2jh7hhNaHzzefv4/s1600/boo1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWDu-6eczWeBvOp-tUp99w5hqvx3F6n0c55v5d16em1zyQF-OoHU88qE0aci9sr5czrF5jDPCETo6czzvPL5nCTQaJBGUBBiVSAG4bJSguoFSRej0fU8G8yO4U8TGj2jh7hhNaHzzefv4/s640/boo1.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Now isn't he just the cutest little ghost ever? I used my trusted Copic markers to do the coloring and then I dug into my wagon to find some twine, buttons and an itsy-bitsy spider! (YIKES!) <br />

<br />
I went clean and simple again this week. A simple house with a heart button, white on white frame and a sentiment I printed on my computer. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNu_TGCMJgkv3CPsvSgbDNHc3DK6dYZojIto2tQ77B2FGkijeWR7hIRaTKYkb73n2xZ_q_uX5jipMPzxPcKUUR3oBzr5HCCs5fVRe5-OHmQKAcR9Yxa9M_QSo-SXvUzZ_KDevQSx3ByT4/s1600/new+home2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNu_TGCMJgkv3CPsvSgbDNHc3DK6dYZojIto2tQ77B2FGkijeWR7hIRaTKYkb73n2xZ_q_uX5jipMPzxPcKUUR3oBzr5HCCs5fVRe5-OHmQKAcR9Yxa9M_QSo-SXvUzZ_KDevQSx3ByT4/s640/new+home2.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
I also added a wee bit of pen stitching on the house.

Heather's challenge at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a> this week is to create a tag. It can be a stand-alone tag or a tag on a card.<br />
<br />
I decided to go with a stand-alone tag.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_jAGz8y1_Dv4R_I2JmHK9S7wCIwWleJX6Y3bxBu410r70pztOnme0WJ_YtUjLjCiukcsYwUNtArMNDhp3LRHZs26yYrqsKGKM3PHdQ2LM1b0t94-aQ7pl9fTGQb7YV1-ypnteaJVMRnQ/s1600/tag1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_jAGz8y1_Dv4R_I2JmHK9S7wCIwWleJX6Y3bxBu410r70pztOnme0WJ_YtUjLjCiukcsYwUNtArMNDhp3LRHZs26yYrqsKGKM3PHdQ2LM1b0t94-aQ7pl9fTGQb7YV1-ypnteaJVMRnQ/s640/tag1.jpg" width="370" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I used a Kraft background and then I layered some pretty papers on top. I also added a birdbath and fence that was cut with my Silhouette. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5EKNFNxAPK4PCRRn85rI5loojgjThcbq2qJmWXtwp1kw0yaEDEnsEfr7-IKkBlkGE9L69CQ4nbob8xosE8-lSufoW8zI8LwYb8CREcriXIGjK7sA03xxf7p5i9HqyFrxa39qfxLzj56E/s1600/tag2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="473" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5EKNFNxAPK4PCRRn85rI5loojgjThcbq2qJmWXtwp1kw0yaEDEnsEfr7-IKkBlkGE9L69CQ4nbob8xosE8-lSufoW8zI8LwYb8CREcriXIGjK7sA03xxf7p5i9HqyFrxa39qfxLzj56E/s640/tag2.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
I did lots of distressing with my edge distressing tool and my vintage photo ink pad. Now I have a pretty tag to add to something in the future... a layout, a card, etc.<br />
<br />
I hope you join in on the challenge this week and link up your tag at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Little Red Wagon</b></span></a>. For more inspiration, be sure to visit the Girlfriend's blogs listed on my sidebar. They are such a talented group of ladies!<br />

She wants to see a masculine card. <br />
<br />
I had fun with this challenge!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVJF358vFOhV-gt9Px7GfsFPv3RsrwyuWW6WXqhjjJtpL6U73vsoddgiBaboHE37sxKOTaB_gSfTPN44zXdBdPv8JGEvN0VwS28-2n3MJwozZuwo1TspTAsLwxudu9JrxIMLGPAe3d0c/s1600/man1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVJF358vFOhV-gt9Px7GfsFPv3RsrwyuWW6WXqhjjJtpL6U73vsoddgiBaboHE37sxKOTaB_gSfTPN44zXdBdPv8JGEvN0VwS28-2n3MJwozZuwo1TspTAsLwxudu9JrxIMLGPAe3d0c/s640/man1.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
First off, I found this adorable image and then I sat down with my Copic markers which is something I have not done enough of lately. I think I enjoyed working with this image because it reminded me of our youngest son who used to love playing soccer!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKS47C3JUzEmQX7ingEY7xwUMxCH6Dt2OgPPfkyJ6FHiHauyYrQvDqIfN17V5GnTq0MF0s9Xw7xerC2poWIWcrhRcvnDmZWscVLz-ItyfZitoSiPuJE7mdt_0QfIbI9qTPcyCcmTpr8Uk/s1600/man2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKS47C3JUzEmQX7ingEY7xwUMxCH6Dt2OgPPfkyJ6FHiHauyYrQvDqIfN17V5GnTq0MF0s9Xw7xerC2poWIWcrhRcvnDmZWscVLz-ItyfZitoSiPuJE7mdt_0QfIbI9qTPcyCcmTpr8Uk/s640/man2.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I dug deep into my wagon of goodies and pulled together some matching papers. I love the wood grain paper for the background! Normally I hoard my wood grain papers, but it just seemed to work so well on this card. Next, I added a printed sentiment and a couple of buttons and there you have it. A card that would suit many different occasions.<br />
<br />
I hope you join us at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Little Red Wagon</b></span></a> this week.

<br />
I created this sweet little baby girl card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZB-So67hDYUqVkVsWNJnFUb6SQvmzRPdDouozrDPSYioHkipAKT-B2CguZWFd2Uvdm4Ei1XGSvmooVekoVztb2j7nMzvTd7K7k7-qqZu1Wj61oEinyB01hqW-HRYsutucFdnxkI911SY/s1600/emb1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZB-So67hDYUqVkVsWNJnFUb6SQvmzRPdDouozrDPSYioHkipAKT-B2CguZWFd2Uvdm4Ei1XGSvmooVekoVztb2j7nMzvTd7K7k7-qqZu1Wj61oEinyB01hqW-HRYsutucFdnxkI911SY/s640/emb1.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
The background is an embossed 'baby' word background. I then cut out the banner, scalloped circle and baby rattle using my Silhouette.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7T0aSigQqzx1TYhcqpayVey4a3VRTdOpdfoFXGpo5WYFGAjozlASanrS29A3Vhc32EtVMpKXKpZAtS6C6bbdbLHvat8sU_2eJcIAHKFvgUEfg0DQToYVlOjsYBWZaVsqWX7ifljfXIV0/s1600/emb2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7T0aSigQqzx1TYhcqpayVey4a3VRTdOpdfoFXGpo5WYFGAjozlASanrS29A3Vhc32EtVMpKXKpZAtS6C6bbdbLHvat8sU_2eJcIAHKFvgUEfg0DQToYVlOjsYBWZaVsqWX7ifljfXIV0/s640/emb2.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>

Time is just flying by and I can't believe we are already into our Fall themed challenges at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Little Red Wagon</b></span></a>! This week Donna wants to see anything for Fall, y'all!<br />
<br />
Nothing screams Fall more than pumpkins (well, except maybe leaves changing colors or cooler temperatures or long shadows or fall mums!) so I decided to add a trio of pumpkins to my card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ797IrFKdZOlKOaglG4p0RgmiVpLgMQmGbKINRueluPtzIqIcLLqnmNhFUjYXYVi1C2KXu2Oj4e6ZaRl6ITIxrLVzQvf9-Mr9wbUZ-YxN_gCD_RpcW8Sr_8vB-TqqilKn0z8ceWO1F50/s1600/Fall1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ797IrFKdZOlKOaglG4p0RgmiVpLgMQmGbKINRueluPtzIqIcLLqnmNhFUjYXYVi1C2KXu2Oj4e6ZaRl6ITIxrLVzQvf9-Mr9wbUZ-YxN_gCD_RpcW8Sr_8vB-TqqilKn0z8ceWO1F50/s640/Fall1.jpg" width="413" /></a></div>
<br />
I also thought that some Kraft cardstock for my card background would add to a fall feel. And instead of using ribbon, I actually pulled out some pretty yarns and twine and tied them to my card. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcBbyh9G8yjWD1g1fgAMVgYTcLu6jtuUM7dJTBvvndTs6aR6H41yYFFdLT7p-HuEYL2ZMpgWGJOuIHL4VikroqCxP5GbKRkj0XPDXm8bDtkpRWYGD7fAK6JndR332f_e5MY3HancEXzo0/s1600/fall2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcBbyh9G8yjWD1g1fgAMVgYTcLu6jtuUM7dJTBvvndTs6aR6H41yYFFdLT7p-HuEYL2ZMpgWGJOuIHL4VikroqCxP5GbKRkj0XPDXm8bDtkpRWYGD7fAK6JndR332f_e5MY3HancEXzo0/s640/fall2.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Even though I am not quite ready to welcome Fall, I enjoyed making this card. Now it is your turn to think Fall. Create a Fall themed card and link it up at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Little Red Wagon</b></span></a>. We will be sure to stop by your blog and leave some love :)<br />

Brenda is our hostess this week and she wants us to try something new - a new stamp, new technique, new tool, etc.<br />
<br />
I saw a great technique on my friend <a href="http://huhsothisisablog.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Jan's blog</b></span></a> recently and I really wanted to give it a try. It is a layered technique.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxIYOG0LDJs-oixaCiMO296XC1cgtFpXktGUH3Kbi18U1f8TdHzMHpvjjxB-noSFzCw2L4ZPEZ8j2MZ2fkokskYErVO7FQCRt0viRJJpa7_VmYhXOIyyMMS-L2RQQMdTP5V_ccw61_a2g/s1600/technique+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxIYOG0LDJs-oixaCiMO296XC1cgtFpXktGUH3Kbi18U1f8TdHzMHpvjjxB-noSFzCw2L4ZPEZ8j2MZ2fkokskYErVO7FQCRt0viRJJpa7_VmYhXOIyyMMS-L2RQQMdTP5V_ccw61_a2g/s640/technique+1.jpg" width="471" /></a></div>
<br />
I printed out this sweet image 4 times and then I trimmed a bit off each one, going smaller and smaller each time. Then I matted the layers and layered them onto the background.<br />

I just love the simplicity and the effectiveness of this technique. I also added some stitching and a bow I made using my coveted dyed and crinkled ribbon.<br />
<br />

I have been on a clean and simple roll lately, partly because I am really busy with a new job and I don't have time to spend making fussy cards, and partly because I love clean and simple! <br />

Then I pulled out my trusty Copic markers that I have been neglecting lately and I colored the image up. I did add a bit of glitter to the birds which made them happy :)<br />

But I tried a new recipe recently when I attended an end-of-summer street party with my neighbors and it is a keeper. It was for Cheesy Pepperoni Bites and I have to say they were delicious!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiomiYYGzi3KDwhCRmcMEoC-trt96NGysH4COg8Fo3DVFWcKJl9gMsJNl11sHQRR2fLfFQiy0E3XZHqgUoHUKb9E5Mj3zwU1fxRVybT2BqJvZ4rfymFT_dXxzy6SwDSBsqds4vN-Sdz09Y/s1600/Cheesy+Pepperoni+Bites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiomiYYGzi3KDwhCRmcMEoC-trt96NGysH4COg8Fo3DVFWcKJl9gMsJNl11sHQRR2fLfFQiy0E3XZHqgUoHUKb9E5Mj3zwU1fxRVybT2BqJvZ4rfymFT_dXxzy6SwDSBsqds4vN-Sdz09Y/s640/Cheesy+Pepperoni+Bites.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Here is the recipe in case you would like to try something different. I think they would make an awesome after school snack or even a snack that you can pack in your lunch. They are great served with warmed up pizza sauce.<br />
<br />
<b>Cheesy Pepperoni Bites </b><br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
3/4 cup flour<br />
3/4 tsp. baking powder<br />
3/4 cup milk<br />
1 egg<br />
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)<br />
4 ounces turkey pepperoni, chopped<br />
1/2 cup pizza sauce<br />
<br />
<b>Instructions</b><br />
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Whisk in the milk and egg.<br />
Next, stir in mozzarella.<br />
Finally, stir in the pepperoni and mix well. Let stand for 7-10 minutes.<br />
Divide batter among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.<br />
While waiting for the bites to bake, microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through. <br />
<br />
Note: I added a dash of basil to the mixture for a bit of seasoning. <br />
<br />
Enjoy! <br />

I really love clean and simple designs. They are just so clean... and simple!<br />
<br />
Here is the card I created for inspiration.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used a simple digi stamp that I kept black and white. I added a dashed border and a button and then layered it onto the card background.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRCk0SgIHj-FvyHOMNvm_wVpJgDJy9WKfSECkdyR4ns4D6JB-kHqECuaWdb2sJVbzSlncKOqfeW_V_N59dmUMdT7A8H30EkFcqjKsGlveHYjqun1mKcsVM8j2CedD49goZNJsIAbilnWs/s1600/cs2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRCk0SgIHj-FvyHOMNvm_wVpJgDJy9WKfSECkdyR4ns4D6JB-kHqECuaWdb2sJVbzSlncKOqfeW_V_N59dmUMdT7A8H30EkFcqjKsGlveHYjqun1mKcsVM8j2CedD49goZNJsIAbilnWs/s640/cs2.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>

It doesn't get more clean or simple than that! <br />

Our <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a> challenge for this week comes from Carolyn and she wants to see some paper piecing on our projects <br />
<br />
Here is a little card that I made for this week's challenge:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJGhCfYMDGyxlFMZKmrp3vOCOzAUHvdgU2yRlntsPPDfLwfPcGWEXpIZMT-uB2TAVCT5s-k-r0uV2a33PbqNFMQqUmd5SH6VDTQdchygemrdkMd_F1IZHy8MObhwCvNn-qPPx7xmbfpqE/s1600/pp1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJGhCfYMDGyxlFMZKmrp3vOCOzAUHvdgU2yRlntsPPDfLwfPcGWEXpIZMT-uB2TAVCT5s-k-r0uV2a33PbqNFMQqUmd5SH6VDTQdchygemrdkMd_F1IZHy8MObhwCvNn-qPPx7xmbfpqE/s640/pp1.jpg" width="401" /></a></div>
<br />
I used a digi image and had fun creating a sweet little gingham elephant with my paper piecing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7bl5M9aCeNIw2nMgzbwU7fkXHsAchctRKoROpPpKuxbQmtXuBMS4cv0QUaAsrDSUCaR0EkRWOP8W0wKrwJAys1iXIUh4YUFpqxpPlI4RFi4U3H3ri6jgC4RzVq593bgJLYabINfA5gU/s1600/pp2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7bl5M9aCeNIw2nMgzbwU7fkXHsAchctRKoROpPpKuxbQmtXuBMS4cv0QUaAsrDSUCaR0EkRWOP8W0wKrwJAys1iXIUh4YUFpqxpPlI4RFi4U3H3ri6jgC4RzVq593bgJLYabINfA5gU/s640/pp2.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
The balloons are also paper pieced and I used some extra strips from the same paper for accents on the card background.<br />
<br />
I hope you decide to pick up the pieces and join us at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a>. Just link up your paper pieced project and we will be sure to visit your blog.<br />

As it is summer and I am enjoying riding my bicycle as often as I can, I decided to create this lovely little card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_BQgZzwZqJSeyVl7MDqo6ZE_x4FuVPkP-jtq9aeM7-ILGUok9iU4sG924pOgrU532ElhF2f0yawYVDWnjBi6kyJzmbsN4K9jhozRCaJa6LP9kpQjzromLDP2j5OXS8mkAji1JN5mlYs/s1600/v1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_BQgZzwZqJSeyVl7MDqo6ZE_x4FuVPkP-jtq9aeM7-ILGUok9iU4sG924pOgrU532ElhF2f0yawYVDWnjBi6kyJzmbsN4K9jhozRCaJa6LP9kpQjzromLDP2j5OXS8mkAji1JN5mlYs/s640/v1.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
The bicycle is a clip art image that I printed onto a piece of vellum. Then I added the sentiment using Word.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihonGAfU5U3RZKrQ1__zyhnpBSG9K-usxvsdlH_s6PmZnLzWlknxmwTcEWZKs9PyxRDutVjaCskNeJw5U27TioR_6H_3etWf-l0KWVJUMRFZOyVOh35j_21rPneK5tsUkOETaqW_UEwIs/s1600/v2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihonGAfU5U3RZKrQ1__zyhnpBSG9K-usxvsdlH_s6PmZnLzWlknxmwTcEWZKs9PyxRDutVjaCskNeJw5U27TioR_6H_3etWf-l0KWVJUMRFZOyVOh35j_21rPneK5tsUkOETaqW_UEwIs/s640/v2.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
I kept it simple with some pretty patterned papers, a doily, some twine and a little tin pin.<br />
<br />
Now, as my sentiment says, I hope you enjoy your day! I also hope you join in our vellum challenge this week. Make sure you stop by each of the Girlfriend's blogs and say Hi! They always work hard on their awesome designs and I know you will be inspired by their creativity. Then link up your own vellum creation at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a>. See you there :)<br />

Apparently she thinks we have been a bit too quiet lately and now she wants us to shake things up! <br />
<br />
This is my shaker card that I created for this challenge:<br />
<br />

<br />
I have made quite a few shaker cards in my day so for this challenge I tried something a bit different. I created a flat vellum shaker card. There is no dimensional adhesive used, but the confetti/sequins still move around. Plus with the vellum you get a slightly softer look than with acetate.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I also used my Lawn Fawn stitched dies for the background pieces and my Silhouette for the die-cut shapes. Simple, sweet, perfect :)<br />
<br />
I hope you are in the mood for shaking it up this week! If you are, be sure to join us at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a>.

Brenda is our host this week and she wants to see anything that flies on our card. Lots of possibilities with this challenge, but I chose an airplane.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I did a print and cut using my Silhouette and a clip-art airplane and then I cut some clouds in the front of my card. I then added a bit of layering with patterned paper and cardstock and a fun sentiment.<br />

I also dug deep into my wagon and found my Liquid Pearls to add some detailing around the clouds.<br />
<br />

I created this card using some alpha Thickers stickers that have been in my wagon for a very loooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg time! I paired them up with some pretty patterned paper, flowers and ribbon.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg44m0UgcKan5Elq0LWrxd3pcW_lNdtvXgAO0vC-A_jh4ALcGEzF23CG93SIIhmDdzZr7QwGB6tdKxV5CKBHxcFNHLHQjkFhyphenhyphenSDG_Cxy1H42P3iHfcgWT04wnItxMNWgraRxwUj32pm7mI/s1600/Beach+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="485" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg44m0UgcKan5Elq0LWrxd3pcW_lNdtvXgAO0vC-A_jh4ALcGEzF23CG93SIIhmDdzZr7QwGB6tdKxV5CKBHxcFNHLHQjkFhyphenhyphenSDG_Cxy1H42P3iHfcgWT04wnItxMNWgraRxwUj32pm7mI/s640/Beach+1.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
How cute is this? I used a couple of cut files from <a href="http://www.misskatecuttables.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Miss Kate Cuttables</span></b></a> to create this beach house scene. <br />
<br />

<br />
I am sure we all agree that life is better at the beach and I hope you decide to join in the fun. Grab a beach chair, pull up your wagon and create a beach-themed card. Then link it up at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Little Red Wagon</span></b></a>. See you there :)<br />

That is because she is celebrating a birthday this week - so <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><i>HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER!</i></b></span><br />
<br />
Here is the card I designed using a digital image from A Day for Daisies.<br />

<br />
I went simple, sweet and elegant for my card this week. I paper-pieced the chair and used my Copic markers for the birds and chair legs.<br />

<br />
I thought the sentiment "It's Your Day!" was perfect, because on your birthday you should just be able to sit somewhere pretty and relax and be treated with special love. All of my birthday's are like that! Aren't yours? lol<br />
<br />
I would love for you to join us at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Little Red Wagon</b></span></a> and link up your own Birthday card! And while you are there, be sure to wish Heather a Happy Birthday. She deserves it!!<br />
