God Cares for the Sparrow (and Budgie)

Wednesday, March 13, 2024
Happy Wednesday! It's Imke's turn to host this week's challenge and Little Red Wagon and she's calling out, "Easy Peasy". She's looking for CAS projects.


Unfortunately, my son's budgie passed away a couple of weeks ago. His birds are like his kids and he takes such good care of them. I saved one of Sky's little feathers and created this very simple card which I tucked in a glass frame. I printed off the text, cut the card to size, cut a heart using a punch and then attached the little feather on the heart. My son placed the frame on his desk. 

There is a verse in the Bible about God caring for the sparrow which is why the card starts with a sparrow and then adds for the budgie too. I trust that God doesn't mind me changing things up a bit with holy scripture. 

Truth be told, when I first made the little card-in-frame for him, Jack returned it to me and told me that he wasn't sure whether or not to say anything but decided he would. I'd put the year as 2022!! I have no idea what was going on in my brain that I entered the text, centred it, made sure I liked the positioning of everything, printed it, looked it over, cut to size and then added to the frame AND took a photo, all the while never realizing I was off by a couple of years. Anyway, I'm back to the present now!!

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the CAS creations made by the rest of the Girlfriends. It would be great to have you join us too! 

I Didn't Planet That Way

Wednesday, March 6, 2024
How is it already Wednesday again? And how is it March? The days, weeks and months seem to be flying by. 

I'm this week's hostess at Little Red Wagon and I'm continuing with my Def Leppard-inspired challenges for 2024. This time, it's "Foolin'" and I'm looking for projects with puns, jokes, funnies, etc. 


I put my card together using Lawn Fawn's Year Eleven stamps and dies which I received as part of a grab bag purchase from Simon Says Stamp a year or two ago. I've not used this set before but had it in mind when I chose this challenge. One of the planets was hand created with a circle die and then a hat from another Lawn Fawn set, Year Four (Hippo Birdie). The background was made with a variety of distress inks and then cut from a no-brand die. It's popped on the card although difficult/impossible to tell in the photo. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon for some more smiles, chuckles and laughs! I'd love for you to join the fun too. I always love a good pun, joke or anything else that will bring a smile to my face! 

Happy Easter

It's the wonderful Brenda's turn hosting our latest Little Red Wagon challenge and she's calling out to us to "Use a Stencil". 


I have a number of stencils in my stash although I'm not sure whether or not I've ever used this Simon Says Stamp "Oval of Flowers" before. As I've been feeling rather under the weather with headaches over the past number of days, I decided to create something fairly simple. In addition to the stencil, I used a bunny and sentiment from Reverse Confetti and a frame from My Favorite Things.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the rest of the Girlfriends used stencils on their projects. We'd love for you to join us too! 

Happy Birthday to You

Janice is hosting at Little Red Wagon this week and she's selected "Off the edge" for this week's challenge. Jan is hoping to see elements extend off the card base or project page, etc. 


While I typically like everything contained within my card space, I have had a few instances where I've gone "off the edge". I made this card for my aunty who will be having a birthday next month. Fortunately, I have some slightly larger than A2-sized envelopes so no elements will be harmed in the posting of my card.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the other Girlfriends have gone "off the edge" - and then link up a project of your own! 

I Really Love You

Wednesday, February 14, 2024
Happy Valentine's Day! May your day be full of love and blessings.

The talented Chrissy is this week's Little Red Wagon hostess and she's chosen "Valentine's Day - Show us some love" as the challenge theme.


I created a masculine card which can be used for Valentine's Day or any day really! With the exception of the tiny heart made with a little paper punch, I used a variety of My Favorite Things dies, mixing two different sets (I Really Miss You and Love) to create the sentiment. I also used an ancient Cuttlebug embossing folder for the off-white mat. 

Head over to Little Red Wagon to experience all the love there - and then join up your own Valentine's Day/Love project. 

PS For those of you who follow a Lenten practice, may you be blessed along your journey to grace and light. 💕
