I can final share my secret I am Moxie Fabber of the Week!!

 Wow, I was like a kid waiting for a big day. I have had to wait to share my fun news about being asked by Cath over at Moxie Fab to be Moxie Fabber of the Week. I can’t wait to share this with my fellow paper crafters who will really understand my excitement. Telling my husband didn’t give me the reaction I really wanted. His reaction was kind of like the soup commercial where the gal who lost weight asks to talk to a woman.

  I stop in almost every morning at the Moxie Fab blog to get my shot of paper crafting caffeine. Some days, it is a shot of fun colors or maybe a jaw-dropping beautiful picture to inspire us to think outside of our box. I can’t forget the fun giveaways she has, too. If you want to know what is new or what you need to start saving for, Moxie Fab is the place to find it. Cath’s whimsical and creative ways make me laugh and save me lots of time searching Pinterest. (I cannot imagine the hours she puts into scouring the boards over there.)

I will be sharing some fun Easter treats with you in the coming week using some of these fun Accucut die cut favor box's. So be sure to stop back for some fun ideas.

  To celebrate, I would like to give you a chance to win some blog candy with me. I love to do treats and favors for our youth group leaders, my girls, or the girls in the gymnastics class that my older daughter teaches. So I would like to give away a packet of die-cut favor boxes, which I cut using my AccuCut Dies in pretty pastels, for you to create some Easter treats for someone special in your life. I thought I would throw in some fun Kaiser pearls, as well as my favorite Fiskars Micro-Tip scissors to get your spring projects going.

  So for a chance to win, just sign up to follow my blog -- or if you already do, just leave me a comment and I will add you to the drawing. I will pick the winner next Monday!

Thanks for stopping and sharing in my exciting news. As I like to say, “It is the little things in life that make it exciting.” This is one of those “little” things that is big for me.

It is JustRite Challenge time...

I embossed the saying and the paper is from My Minds Eye, I also used spellbinders dies to cut the mats and saying as well as the hearts.

 It is time for a JustRite challenge so here we go.I did 2 different cards with 2 different styles.I love the bright colors of the one card but I love the pretty papers from My Minds Eye compliment the stamp that I used in the other.
Thanks for stopping in.

All gold and pearly ornament card

 This is a it out of my comfort zone going all ornate but it looks so pretty. I know who will be getting this one.I used JustRite stamps and spellbinders die's for this card. The paper is a pretty metallic gold and a creamy pearl and I used versa mark ink and gold embossing powder.The pearl brads are from the wedding section at Micheal's.

Another Just Rite Challenge

Finished card

My scraps, I think I did pretty good using them up. What do you think?

The challenge over at Just Rite ( Get Scrappy) is to used the scraps on your work area. I have plenty of those and I tend to keep every piece especially the printed ones so this was a challenge I needed to take on. I had done a quilt card last year and thought this would be a fun way to use up these scraps also. I used my spellbinders Hexagon die's from Spellbinders.I cut several different pieces of my printed papers and played around with back grounds and came up with this pretty blue print. I arranged them to fit on a square piece of paper that was cut to fit on a Accucut card die I have that has a scallop on the bottom. Once I had them on the card I used a fine tip Prisma marker  in brown to add faux stitches around each one,( It went faster then you think) I edged the blue with Momento's Potter's clay ink. I stamped the saying ( Birthday centers) with this ink as well and then edged the die cut saying with a sponge and Potters clay ink.This was set on top of the die cut filigree which I had a pretty plaid ribbon in a yummy butterscotch color to pull the whole thing together.To finish it off I put a scrap of the rusty print paper under the scallop edge at the bottom of the card.
  I really like how it turned out and better yet I got to use some of those small scraps I had piling up on my work area.This is a card that really has a warm hug kind of feel to it.
Have a great day.

Just Rite Challange time again....

Here is my card for the sketch challenge over at Just Rite Stamps. I used a leaf embossing folder on a pretty milk chocolate brown paper for the back ground.  I stamped the image and colored it with copic markers. I die cut the green and gold mats with spellbinders dies. I edged the gold with Ranger distressed ink to soften the look. I die cut some small maple leaves with spellbinders dies and added a pretty golden plaid ribbon at the bottom of the card.
I hope you like my take on this sketch challenge.
