Little Red Wagon #269 Happy Birthday

Happy Christmas Eve day crafty friends. Are you ready for Christmas? I finished my shopping on the weekend and spent a long time wrapping. I did have a bit of time to work on a quick card for this week's LITTLE RED WAGON challenge.

Jan is looking after the challenge for this week and it's an easy one......HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Create a new project that is birthday related.

For this weeks challenge I shifted away from Christmas/winter and I created a simple birthday card using "Big Birthday Wishes" from My Favorite Things. The paper is Pink Paislee Solstice.

For the added glitter to the balloons, I used Glitter Ritz Micro fine glitter on top of my Copic coloured balloons. I applied the glitter after using the Zig two way glue pen. Last time I used the glitter I had used Glossy accents. If you want the glitter with dimension, the Glossy accents are a good thing to use.

Here is a look at the inside of my card.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a bit of time this holiday season to play along with week's HAPPY BIRTHDAY challenge. Link up your projects at the LITTLE RED WAGON blog and remember to check out the inspiration the Girlfriends are also sharing.

Have a fabulous day and I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Kraftin' Kimmie # 245 - Ships Ahoy/Water

Happy Saturday everyone. For some of us this is a long weekend so I know that means extra KRAFTY time for me!

Today on the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge blog we are having another fun challenge. This week Krafty Girl Becky is our host and her theme for this week is SHIPS AHOY/WATER!

Wanna play along? You have a chance to win a $10 gift card to the KK shop! Show us your stuff by creating a new card, scrapbook page or altered item. We'd love to see you use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp, however you can use any stamp that works for this theme. Grab you stamps and let's get KRAFTY!

Since I am in denial about this being the end of summer, I decided to go totally beachy with my card using the sweet Lulu from Totally Tubular. This set is currently on sale in the shop. Lulu is my absolute fav!

I had a lot of fun creating a fun beach scene using kraft card stock. I was able to use my Cricut (Simply Charmed) for the beach ball and bucket. The towel is coloured burlap rolled up (glued to keep it closed) and tied with a bow.

Inside the card I added the image of Lucas with one of this sets fun sentiments.

Head over to the Kraftin' Kimmie blog and check out the amazing and inspiring projects created by the Krafty Girls and Guests this week.

You can also check out all of this weeks Frugal Friday Special currently in the shop. You will find a lot of fabulous stamp sets on sale at 25-50% off. There are also a lot of amazing new 6x6 paper pads in the store. Check it out.
