Moxxie {I'm so Lucky}

Did you know that St. Patty's day is right around the corner? Do you celebrate it? If so, what do you do? I'm always looking for some fun new ideas! :) We really don't do much, I either prepare dinner or a treat and turn it green. It's not much but the girls have fun with it! 

The layout I want to share with you today goes right along with St. Patty's day. It's a picture I took of my husband with our girls last fall. We were doing a back to school photo shoot but you never pass up an opportunity to get pictures of everyone together! Love these people in the picture! I'm so lucky to have them in my life.

I started out with using a sheet from Moxxie's new Springtime line as my base. Lately on my layouts I've been cutting down my designer paper by 1/4" to 1/2" along a side and top and then adhere it to a sheet of cardstock giving me a nice framed look. Speaking of framing, I did a little bit of with washi tape around my picture. I then cut out my clovers and part of my title on my Silhouette. For the first part of my title I used some of Moxxie's White Alphas. 

I've also added some sequins randomly and a bit of bakers twin behind my work Lucky and stapled the ends down with some green staples.

Then here I layered a clover on top of kraft clover and centered them with a button flair. 

Have a great St. Patrick's Day!

Layout {CUTE }

My how time has passed! My oldest, who is grinning so proudly in the top picture at becoming a big sister, will be 13 years old this month!

I created this layout using this sketch from  ACOT (A Cherry on Top) that they had for a sketch challenge.

It was fun sketch to play with. I started my base out with a sheet from Moxxie's Faith line and then pulled out Moxxie's Springtime line to start layering, embellishing and punching. :)

Here for the title I used a wooden veneer and sponged on some white ink. I then adhered it to the little banner I had cut out and done a bit of punching on and added an eyelet and threaded some linen thread through the eyelet and then adhered it to my layout with some 3D-Dots to give it some dimension.

I tucked a cute little paper doily behind the corner of one of my pictures and then added some of Moxxie's cardstock stickers right onto my picture. I love the colors.

I fussy cut a butterfly out of one of Moxxie's Springtime sheets, inked the edges with some white ink and adhered it to a wooden arrow. I punched the sides of my purple piece (as you can see below) with a Martha Stewart punch. I love this punch, it looks so beautiful and delicate to me.

I love how the overall layout turnout. Here's another look at it.

Moxxie {Blog hop & Valentine's Box}

I LOVE Valentine's Day! I'm such a romantic. I enjoy decorating and making all sorts of fun Valentine's Day decorations. Today I've got a fun Valentine's Day gift AND a GREAT giveaway stick around until the end for details on the giveaway!
I made my fun gift using three of Moxxie's new lines. 

Tiny Dancer

Grid Iron

Springtime

 I made this cute little box and since have decided to make two more. One for each of my girls and surprise them with them on Valentine's Day.

 The cute little box was one I got from Stampin' Up! many years ago. It's such a small and cute little box perfect for small gifts. I used a strip of Springtime paper to wrap around the box and then began layering different pieces.

I made the paper rosettes out of some Tiny Dancer & Springtime paper. Here's a close up of them.

Then I punched  the hearts out of Grid Iron the Football themed paper. I just love the richness of the brown in that line. Next I popped those cute hearts up with some 3D-Dots

 to give them a bit of dimension. 

Then I inked up the wooden arrow with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink and covered it in some Crystal Stickles. Then I used some of Moxxie's Alphas for the "XOX". I'm in love with the turquoise/blue ones. Such a gorgeous color. I then wrapped some twine around the box along the top to fill in some "empty space". I love how cute it turned out!

Below are the details for the giveaway along with the hop list! Good luck & have fun!

Moxxie {Beauty layout}

Good morning! Boy do I have a treat for you! I've been playing with Moxxie's new Springtime line it's absolutely gorgeous!! Have you seen it? Well let me show it to you!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors and the whimsy-ness of it. It worked beautifully for these pictures of my youngest daughter.

I started out by punching two different borders and sponging the edges with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing Ink. I then did some folding on the green strip to create a faux ribbon.

I also did some fussy cutting for these tiny little dandelion seeds. I cut them out of another sheet of paper then layered them on this one using some 3D-Dots. I also added some Stickels to give them a bit of "bling". :)

I also added some Stickles to the rest of the white dandelions. It's a little hard to see in this picture but it really adds to it and looks beautiful. 

I absolutely love this new line! Thanks for stopping by! :)
