Wheelbarrow Challenge


Hi! Is everyone catching the fall spirit like me? All I want to do is create Halloween and fall projects, even though it's still really HOT here in Florida. No worries! I am slowly putting out the Halloween decorations at our house. Fun Fun Fun! I will be so ready for my Halloween party with the girls! This week's BBTB2 Challenge was to use the wheelbarrow from Walk In My Garden. Of course I used fall colors to fit my current theme! I first cut the wheelbarrow from chipboard. I then cut two images from cranberry paisley paper and two from blue patterned paper. Don't forget to flip the image for each of the papers you cut. I covered the outside of the wheelbarrow with the paisley cardstock and the inside with the blue cardstock. I traced the wheel four times onto black cardstock and cut out for the inside and outside of each wheel. Emboss the wheels. Outline the image with a brown marker. I cut a strip of brown cardstock to fit between the two wheelbarrow images. Make small snips with scissors along the long edges of the brown strip to create tabs to glue to the inside of the wheelbarrow. Voila! Now fill it! I chose some dried moss and a fall pick. Go see the other fabulous designers' projects at BBTB2! Have a wonderful week!

Miles of Smiles,

Oh My Goodness Melissa this is so stinkin CUTE! I just Love it! I think I need to make one of these for Thanksgiving for the table, what a great idea, I hope you don't mind if I lift this idea, if you used the larger mat you could make it bigger for a table decoration, maybe just double up on the chipboard, GREAT Idea Melissa, you have inspired me (and I'm sure other's will be inspired too) Again, Love It Girlfriend!!!
