Moxxie {Easter Basket with Treat & Blog Hop}

I have a fun little project to share with you that's perfect for Easter! I used the beautiful new Springtime line from Moxxie aaaand it's the line you can win on our Moxxie blog hop! More details on how to enter at the end.

The colors are gorgeous and perfect for this project! I had so much fun creating this cute little basket and the adorable little treat that sits in it.

I started out with a full 12x12 sheet and scored in 3 inches from all sides. By doing that it should create squares in all four corners, I then went around and only cut one side of each square. Then you should be able to fold along the scored lines and have it start looking like a basket. I added adhesive to those squares and stuck all the sides together. Then to create the handle I cut two 1 inch strips adhered them together and onto the basket. Then added a brad on each side for additional support. 

For the front I took three different colored strips and used a Martha Stewart punch. I then added the swirly and tag from an older Moxxie line called Spring has Sprung.

Now for that adorable little "carrot" that is sitting in the basket. 

I followed an excellent tutorial HERE. On how to create this cute little "carrots". For a few extra details I used some green staples to hold the top and used a tag from the Spring has Sprung line and tied it on with some yellow twine.

Isn't that the sweetest bunny!? Here's a shot of the whole basket.

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!

Moxxie {Let's Go Outside}

Hello! 

Welcome the the Summer time fun Moxxie blog hop!

Today our talented designers are going to show you fun summer projects using many different lines.

Hello! How is everyone doing? Today I've got a fun layout using Moxxie's line Child's Play! I absolutely love this fun line! It just screams summer to me. :) This layout is of my 2nd daughter right after she turned 8 years old. I love these pictures of her cute little smile. :)

On this layout I used to sheets out of the collection and trimmed down the top one so the back one would create a nice border around it. I did a bit of distressing around the edges of the top one. Then I used some frames from the double sided die cut sheet to put around my pictures. I love them! I also used some of the die cut strips and accordioned them and added some staples for a bit of texture and dimension. Here's some more close ups of the layout. 

Thanks for stopping by! Good luck and hope you have tons of fun with the blog hop! The prize is AWESOME!!!! Don't miss out! :)

Scrap It Girl March Challenge: Birthday's!

Happy Birthday to everyone in March! Especially to two of my fellow DT members over at Scrap it Girl! Huge Birthday shout out to 

Kelly Starsky  & Heidi  Barclay!

This months challenge at Scrap It Girl is going to be Birthday's! So I went and found some cute pictures of my youngest's birthday last year. She is so into La-la Loopsy dolls right now so of course we HAD to have a La-la Loopsy cake! 

For this layout I went over to Nuts About Sketches and found a sketch that I loved and fit my two pictures perfectly! I used Sketch #242. I used a kit a I've had for quite awhile from KI Memories. I've used it on another birthday layout HERE. I'm really having a ton of fun with it! It has some fun shimmery papers in it and some really fun embellishments. I did the basic cutting but used my little circle cutter to get a the purple circle behind the title. Then my little "extra" that wasn't in the kit were these cute colored staples I've had for awhile and thought the colors were perfect for this layout! 

Thanks for stopping by! Come and join me over at SCRAP IT GIRL for this fun challenge and great prize and to see what the other design team members have created! Always a ton of fun and inspiration! :) Hope to see you there!
