Little Red Wagon #254 - Cork

Good afternoon/evening!

I had to dash into work earlier today so my plan to get my Little Red Wagon post on here this morning didn't exactly pan out!

Oh well, better late than never I guess.

This week Joanne is holding the reigns..........

and she would like to see us get creating with cork.......you know, that stuff you would normally find standing between you and a bottle of Vino (if you're lucky enough to find one these days that's not a screw top!)

So anyways, here's my offering.....

I decided to stamp and fussy cut my cork sheet, so to make my life easier I chose the simplest stamp I could find..........can't get much easier than a few straight lines!

Did you see what I did there......'Home Tweet Home'!

Yeah I'll admit I'm not quite the creative Queen of The Pun, not like Jan or anything.

Why not dig out that cork you know you have hiding at the bottom of your stash just like mine was, and link up a fabby creation over on the blog.  The Girlfriends have been busy at it again, and left a little inspiration waiting there for you too.

I'll be seeing you sooner rather than later I hope so till then, have a good one,

Happy New Year!

December 31st and another year over. I'm wishing you all a very safe and happy New Year, and hope that like me, you are looking forward to New opportunities and creations in 2012.

As we're talking about 'New'ness, my last card of the year follows a similar theme, but this one's for a new home.....

This one's a 'tri-fold' card or at least two plus a gate! Despite the fact that my hubby thinks it opens the wrong way....I'm sticking with it!

Here's the front gate, cut from patterned paper.......

.......and then the center, showing a gorgeous rubber stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs..........

I would show you the inside which reads "....in your New Home" but, ahem, I forgot to take a photograph!

I was given the opportunity recently by my local scrapbook store Two Scrapbook Friends, to play with a couple of these stamps, and they really do stamp up beautifully. As TSF are now stocking these babies, I highly recommend you go check them out.

Colouring is with Copic's today with a little added Glossy Accents, and papers are from Bo Bunny.

Have a great night tonight and a Wonderful New Year.

Take care

Home Sweet Home.............

Good morning all. Hope you're having a good one. Today is Sunday I believe, which means therefore, it's time for a new OSAAT challenge. For our theme this week, we're feeling pretty generous, so you have a choice............'Good Luck' or a photo inspiration............

.............the choice is yours! We also have another great sponsor for you this week...............
Make It Crafty

........so, no excuses, you have to be in it to win it!

This week, I got to colour up another awesome image from one of our talented creators, who you can find over at the Stitchy Bear Stamps Store........Hope Jacare Doodles.............here is 'Home Is Where The Heart Is'.....................

So, I hope you can tell I opted for the second option of.......'Good Luck' and for this one, it's Copic's all the way Baby!

No Prisma pencils in sight. I find that when images are pretty small and detailed like this one, I often revert to the Copic's...........otherwise, too many fiddly bits, to get in there and blend with pencils.

I kept things fairly simple here as I think the image deals enough interest. DP is again from Cosmo Crickets 'Circa 1934' line,(love this!) together with chocolate brown card stock/Martha Stewart border punch combo. Ribbon is from 'Michaels' $1.50 bin, again tied with my new 'Bow Easy' (love this too!). The key is Maya Road chipboard which I covered with chocolate brown glitter, and the tiny tag...... I made, and printed the sentiment from my PC using the 'Batik Regular' font, which I didn't realise I had (and have been searching for!!!!!).

That's about it for the outside, so I'll show you a quick view of the inside, just to make sure we're clear what the 'Luck' is for..........

There we have it.

I hope you can join in with the challenge this week. Hop on over to the OSAAT Challenge Blog, and check out what the rest of the DT have been up to.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I hope to see you sometime during the week.

I'll be back a little later with some challenge hopefuls..........till then.........
