Fall Card with a Challenge

Hello! I have some fun news to share with you today.
 I've joined Scrap With Us Design Team!
I'm so excited to share with you my first challenge with them.

Since I have such a washi tape addiction I thought it would be fun to do something with it. The challenge is to pull out your washi tape stash and create a card or a layout and use it as main part of the design. Get creative! Use as many as you want! Here is my card.

I used some Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine on some Confetti White cardstock. Next I layered some washi tape. For my embellishments I fussy cut that adorable fox I stamped, cut out a few leaves and added a cute little square button with some twine.

We would LOVE to have you come join us in the fun and take some time to look around and join us in the other challenges we have going on! 
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Scrap It Girl {Favorite Thing Friday: Favorite Fall Project}

Good morning! Today's Scrap It Girls Favorite Thing Friday is your Favorite Fall Project. Mine is a fall layout and I love how it turned out! I used Moxxie's new fall line- Autumn Glory. This line is absolutely gorgeous and the colors are so rich. This is my current favorite fall line!
Seriously, I don't believe pictures do this line justice. You definitely need to get your hands on this line. Here is my layout. I used some pictures of my second daughter when she was close to 18 months old (she's now 10 years old! Where did the time go!?) playing out in the leaves I was raking. 
I cut about a quarter inch off the top and side of one sheet and layered on another. Did some fussy cutting of the flowers and layered them using 3D-Dots over the ones that were there. Also did some inking with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing Ink around the edges of the flowers to make them "pop" a bit more.
I used the cardstock stickers that coordinate with the paper, for the title and the banners. Punched a border using a Martha Stewart punch. I love how this layout turned out. Go, stop by Scrap It Girl's blog and see some other favorites!
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Moxxie {Love}

Good Morning! I have another layout to share with you! I used Moxxie's line Autumn Glory on a previous layout and totally fell in love with the gorgeous line. If you still haven't looked at it please take a minute to check it out HERE. Here is my layout.
I just love the elegance of this line. I cut off a quarter inch off the top and side of the top sheet, did some inking with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing ink around the edges and layered it on top of a sheet of Doodlebug cardstock. I used some other sheets from the same line to layer the picture and create the side banners along with embossing and sanding down one the layers under the picture. Here's some close up's of some the embellishments and details.
For my journaling tag I used some 3D-Dots along the edges of the picture to pop it up and create a little slotted area for my tag to slide into.
Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Moxxie {Autumn Glory Cards & Blog Hop}

Good morning! Fall is in full swing here. The leaves have all changed their colors and are falling off. I love walking through them and hearing them crunch under my feat. It's just gorgeous around here. I love this time of year. I have some fall cards and a fun blog hop with a great giveaway to share with you today! I want to start by showing you my cards! :)
I really love how Moxxie's line of Autumn Glory really captures fall. On my Thank You card I used a Martha Stewart punch, some Bazzil Basics Paper Leaves, ribbon and a SU! stamp for the sentiment.
On this one I did a bit of fussy cutting that I "popped" up with some 3D-dots to add a little dimension. I also did some distressing and tied it off with some linen thread.
For the third card I used an embossing folder and sanded it down along with some distressing along the edges. I fussy cut around some flowers from the sheet Bountiful Bouquet and inked up the edges. Then layered them up with 3D-dots to give it some dimension.
I really love how all three cards turned out.

And of course for the blog hop info and like I said, there is a PRIZE involved!

Moxxie {Autumn Glory Bird Cages}

Good morning! I have a cute little Pinterest project I want to share with you today! I came across the cutest little DIY paper bird cages I just HAD to give them a try! They turned out adorable! Now I want to share with you!
 They were super easy! I just followed the tutorial that was provided HERE.
Download Bird Template
I used Moxxie's New Autumn Glory line to create these beauties and used some Autumn Cardstock Stickers to decorate them up a bit. I used a 3D-Dot to pop up the little leaf I added onto each bird cage.
These will make the cutest fall decorations! Can't wait to make a few more!
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Moxxie {Meet the New Muses Blog Hop}

Hello Moxxie fans! 
We have a special treat for you today!
It involves tons of inspiration and A PRIZE!!!

As many of you know we started this month with a new design team and we are loving all of their fantastic projects and awesome inspiration. So much in fact, that we thought it would be fun to get to know them just a little bit better with a Blog Hop!
You will see a wide variety of styles and projects and hopefully get to know each of our team members just a little bit better.

This layout that I've created using Moxxie Forever Fall line. It is an absolutely gorgeous line. I love the colors!
My favorite thing to do is a bit of fussy cutting. I think fussy cutting is a good way to showcase elements on the designer paper and then I really like to make things "pop" by adding dimensionals (foam adhesive) to them. Like I did here....
And also along the title that was already on the paper, I just did a bit of fussy cutting so I could tuck in my picture right behind it! One other thing on this close up picture, that little strip that says "Falling Leaves", that is a barcode strip! Isn't that awesome!? Reminds me of a saying my MIL always says to me- "Waste not, want not." It's all so usable and so dang cute! :) I finished off my layout by inking up the edges with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Now don't miss out on all the fun we have going on! Go and make sure to check out all the other Moxxie Muses blogs for some amazing inspiration and an amazing prize! :)
