Little Red Wagon #224 - Pocket

Phew - a busy day today with one thing and another and as I only got home around an hour ago, today's Little Red Wagon post is just a smidge late!

This week Joanne would like to see a pocket on your creation so I took the challenge in it's literal sense and added.....a denim pocket......complete with rivet and stitching!

This weeks card is another 'easel' variety except this is what I like to call the 'make it up as you go along' style!

Not the most structured design I'll admit, but a pretty good way of using up a whole bunch of scraps from your stash.

Here's a close up of that pocket.........

I specifically chose this collection of papers from Authentique for the denim print, but one of the sheets has a whole bunch of 'rivets'(if that's what you call them!) printed on there, so I fussy cut around one, added a little Glossy Accents and stuck it on.  The stitching and a gift card stuck in the top finished things off.

Hopefully you'll get a chance to join in with this weeks challenge over on the blog and come up with your own 'pocket' creation.

I'm off to check out what the rest of the Girlfriends have been up to, so have a good one and I'll see you again later in the week,

I'm Back!

OK, so I know I'm probably a candidate for the worst (or at least the most absent) blogger this week but, oh I have been a sickly specimen! However, there is light at the end of the tunnel..........I had a 'cough free' night of sleep..........woooooohoooooo! Anyhow, enough about that, today is Sunday and that means it's time for a new challenge over at the OSAAT challenge blog.

Our sponsors this week, all 3 of them, are as follows:

So there you go, lots of goodies up for grabs, no excuse not to enter! The theme this week is.........Christmas, traditional or modern, whichever you prefer. I thought I'd try something a little different again this week, so sometime during my battle against the germs, I came up with a couple of gift card holders............

So, I guess one is in traditional Christmas colours, the other more modern. Here's another view...........

I got to play with new Christmas digi papers this week from Panda Bear Designs which you will find shortly at the Stitchy Bear and I Did It Crafting Boutique. These papers are really pretty on their own, so I only embellished with various alpha stamps, ribbon, a sticker, glitter and stickles from my stash. These gift card holders fold pretty nicely too, so I think they'd look cool hung on the tree.

Well, that's it from me for now, but hopefully the creative juices will start to flow a little more freely from now on, so I should be back with another post fairly soon. Don't forget to head on over to the OSAAT blog to check out the beautiful creations from the rest of the DT.

Happy Halloween!
