Moxie Fab with a Mojo Flair

Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger

Good morning everyone....hope all is well in your little corner of the world!!! We had a lunchen at the church to celebrate the successful craft fair. We made enough money to send a large donation to the Methodist Children's Home and to buy mittens and scarves for our adopted grade school. We keep their supply closet full of extra school supplies and coats/mittens/scarves for needy children. Anyway....

This is my card for the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger using the Mojo Monday #214 sketch. I took my inspiratin from the bracelet's colors and flowers...Echo Park's Country Drive paper was used along with a doily sponged with So Saffron. The flower and leaves were made with Spellbinder's dies using Pool Party and So Saffron cardstock. The pearls and sentiment fron Verve  finish it off.

This is also for a few other challenges:
1. Crafting for All Seasons - texture (I used texture on the doily, flower and leaves)
2. Create Me Pink - flower
3.CCEE Challenge - use 3 different shapes
4. Crafty Ann's Challenge - floral frenzy

Thanks so much for stopping by...have a great day!!!!

Birthday Wishes

Good morning everyone....I am having such a great day!!! I'm still in my pj's and have been stamping all morning...can't get any better than that!!! I need to get my rear in gear because I am going to Round Top this weekend with my girlfriends...Whoohoo!!!! It's an antiques fair that is spread out in several towns  south east of Austin. Some dealers set up large circus type tents in fields and fill it full of antiques and others have large buildings....it's a bit overwhelming but exciting at the same time!!! We will be staying in a bed and breakfast Sat. night and shop again on Sunday...I won't be able to walk for days when I get home but I'll have 6 months to recover till the next one...LOL!!! Anyway....
I made this card for the Free 4 All challenge on Splitcoast to use a blocked background with patterned paper. Papers from Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg were used for the blocks and the sentiment is from an A muse set called Contemporary Greetings. Sewing was done around the block edges and the flower was made with a Stampin Up! die...the layers were embossed with the Dotted Swiss folder and the leaves were made from a Spellbinder's die. Twine and Candy Dots finish it off. The Mojo Monday #208 sketch was used for the layout and I used the Color Throwdown colors: Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, and Chocolate Chip.This is also for:
1. Paper Crafting Journey - use punches or diecute
2. Scrapbook Sisters - leaves
3. Deep Ocean Challenge - Happy Birthday

Color Challenge 188 and Mojo Madness Contest Weel #56

It's 7:10 PM and I finally finished my Splitcoast Tuesday color challenge card!! I also used the sketch for Julee's Mojo Madness Contest Week #56. The colors for today were Pink Pirouette and Black in honor of Breast Cancer Awarness Month. I decided to let my little owl girls from Sassafras have a night out in the trees. The background paper, which I bought at my LSS and has no name on the back, is covered with glittery trees. I used the largest round Nestie to cut it out. The pink background was embossed with the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder, the owls were stamped with Ranger Distress Ink Black Soot, and attached with dimensionals. The star layers were punched out and the sentiment stamp is from Inkadinkado. Thanks for visiting and I will have something special for you tomorrow!! I finished a card with images sent to me by Melanie Muenchinger....can't wait for you to see the darling card she sent, too!! Have a wonderful evening!!
