Moxie Fab Challenge: Signs of Peace

I made a couple birthday cards for this challenge over at the Moxie Fab Blog. http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/07/moxie-fab-world-challenge-signs-of.html

I used Papertrey card stock. The large peace sign and the smaller one in the back are from a set of peace signs that I bought at Michael's last year, but I know they still have it because I saw it last week! The love stamp is from an old set that I purchased from a local scrapbook store that went out of business last year. The Happy Birthday sentiment, candle, and the background heart, and frame die cut are all from Papertrey. I popped up the embossed peace sign, heart and the frame die. I really like how this turned out and think I will try to make some other "signs of peace" cards soon. I loved this challenge because I just haven't used those stamps in such a long time and this challenge brought them again!

to make a card that is Classy and Elegant. I used the Fillable Frames stamp set and die from Papertrey Ink. I added some Amy Butler paper from Kand Co. and some jewels to make it sparkle.   I also made a card for the peace sign challenge but it is getting late so I will have to post that one tomorrow!

This was the hardest of the challenges for me. I wanted to add more and more.

The card stock and sentiment is from Papertrey. I used one of their dies to cut the chocolate brown card stock so the stamped image peeks through.

Moxie Fab Challenge: Shabby and Vintage

Here is my card for the Moxie Fab challenge to make a Shabby/ Vintage card...

I stamped a sentiment from Damask Designs from Papertrey Inc. and stamped a damask design on the ribbon and also on the paper in white.  I roughed up the edges and added an old earring that had no partner, some lace and a flower with a button center and sewed around the edges.

Moxie Fab Challenge: Fun and Cute

Since I don't really have a style yet, I decided to do all of the challenges at the Moxie Fab Blog.
http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/07/card-style-week-lets-do-fun-cute.html
I think the more styles I try, I can decide what I like best. The first challenge is to create a card that is fun and cute. Happy colors, cute squirrel, and polka dots. I used Papertrey Ink and Hero Arts stamps.

 Here is my take on "Fun and Cute". I made another one for a boy. No hearts on cupcake, just stars and no pink polka dots.

July 2010 Papertrey Blog Hop

It would be so much easier if I started making a card for the blog hop days ago, but noo, as usual I wait till the last day! This month's challenge was to use office supplies. I know what you are thinking...this card has NO office supplies! Let me explain...

I had out all my cool new office supply goodies like the Its Official, School time, and Library Ledger stamp sets then I die cut a Spiral Notebook Page.

Then I got distracted.

I saw the negative image of the notebook page looked like cute little whimsical flowers. So I got out my Wonderfully Whimsical set and made this card.


I hope it kindof counts as office supply use because it is using the Notebook page die! Annd the house is cut from a ledger paper. I know that is a stretch lol, but I think it's kinda cute and wanted to share!




And here is a closeup of the Spiral Notebook Flowers....

EDITED TO ADD...

Ha ha! I typed up what you just read yesterday! I typed it all up and went to the forum to see everybody'sentries! As I sat there waiting, I realized it was only the 24th! I didn't get to post it for 24 more hours! Well for once I was early! So I made another card! I had some time so I decided to challenge myself a little by using only white card stock! Everything is colored with either ink or Copic markers. The grass ruler, admit one door, order paper house stamped with Past Due and the lined paper roof are all from It's Official.

The pencils on the roof and book window are from School time and the background graph paper is from Mini Scrapbook Series Library Ledger. I also used the snail from Flutterby Friend and sentiment from On My Couch. And I die cut the Large Ric Rac and colored it with a Copic marker for the trim on the roof.

I had so much fun making these cards but can't wait another 24 hours to see what everybody else created! So I sure hope today is the 25th!!!

June Blog Hop

This color scheme was found at the Colour Lover's site that Betsy Veldman linked to on her web site last week. I picked the most loved scheme and matched PTI colors...

I dont know what is more fun seeing all the colors on the site or the names. This one is called "Giant Goldfish Pallete". I want to make some more cards with the "Cheer Up Emo Kid Pallete".

I am soo sorry that I couldnt get the colors in a nice line but it is already after 5:30 here and no time to make it look pretty.

And here is a card I made for my daughter who didnt think she could possiby pass the test to get her driving permit today but did.Thanks for stopping by! I cant wait to see all the other blogs today!!!
