It's Tuesday Triggers Again

Hi All, I just peeked at Moxie Fab's entries for this week's Tuesday Triggers and they are so amazing. The number of people who give it a whirl each week continues to grow and the talent is just so great. This is the one challenge I love to work on each week. It's the one challenge I make time for just to stretch my own imagination. This week's challenge was a "patchwork heart" theme. The theme reminded me of my quilting days and how I still love to make things with my hands. I played with the apron stamp and peiced the skirt and ruffles together. Adding a few stitched hearts and a stitched border...I think it is a great card to give with a personal handmade gift. Great...one more thing I need to make.

Have a great week everyone.

A Little Gold and Teal Moxie Challenge

I can't beleive that January is almost over and I'm just now posting in 2010. Happy New Year everyone. This week's Tuesday Trigger for Moxie Fab World is a beautiful picture with gold and turquoise as it's focal point. I like the patterns that are happening in the photo and took the opportunity to play with my L Letterpress machine and try it out for the first time. It's going to take a little time to get things just right...but I like the debossed images. Since I only have one color ink to use for printing, I tried to fill in the debossed areas with my prisma colors and gamsol. Using Cosmo Cricket papers and ribbon to finish off the look, I really am happy with the end result. Now I'm off to try my hand at a new challenge that Melissa Phillips has posted. Have a great week.

Two Days of Tuesday Triggers

Wow, two cards in two days....what fun it is to be feeling better and feeling creative. Today's Tuesday Trigger from Moxie Fab is a beautiful beachy scene that delights the eye and has my mind wandering to some other place than this cold wintery day. I used a combination of Cosmo Cricket and Prima papers and added a clip art image from Crafty Secrets. I love the little French "Bonjour" saying stamped at the bottom...oh to be in France right now...or any time for that matter. Enjoy your day.

Tuesday Triggers

Christmas Break has given me some much needed time to create this season. I decided to play along with Moxie Fab's Tuesday Triggers. The image uses black and white and green. I decided to play with black, white, green and dark blue to spice things up a bit. As I was organizing my papers from my piles of things that needed puttin' away, I came across Basic Grey's floral motif and did a little fussy cutting to add some interest. I like the way it turned out.

Let It Snow

Another not-so-great picture of my recent card. I sure hope Santa brings me a new camera. Wanted to play with my newest stamp from Pink Cat Studio and try Taylor's weekly challenge one more time before the year ends. Since I've got two weeks off from school, I've been crafting up a storm on little odds and ends and trying some new techniques. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

Greetings

Hi Folks, again no working camera...so I'm left to using my Droid phone to photograph my current projects. I have been anxiously waiting for October Afternoons holiday papers to make it to my local scrapbook store and finally it arrived last week. I had this fun new stamp from Pink Cat Studio and played with my Spellbinders circle and scallop punches to frame up this little cutie. I also love the little pins from Making Memories to pin on the little dangling ornament. So much fun and festive, this card is perfect to send to family and friends. Until next time.

Ho, Ho, Ho

Hi all, I doubt anyone has missed my pathetic attempt at blogging. Especially since I am unable to photograph these days with the absence of my defunct digital camera. So using my trusty Blackberry, today I am happy to post my recent project. A few months ago I saw this adorable Santa that Jennifer Beason posted on her blog with Pink Paislee papers and I knew I wanted to give it a try. Then when I saw the Cosmo Cricket papers, I was sure that they would be perfect for ole St. Nick. I still need to place ribbon through the hands and I'll probably add some sort of sentiment to go with it, but for now...I love they way he turned out. Let the holiday decorating begin!!
