Get Sketchy #39 and Moxie Fab Fun with Fabric

Hi Everyone. Hope you are doing well here in the middle of the week. Wow, it's Wednesday already... where does the week go? Anyone???


I am posting this card for two challenges, Moxie Fab World's - Fun with Fabric (hope my hand cut felt flowers qualify) and the layout design is from Get Sketchy. I like this color combo of orchid, aqua blue white and black...don't use it often enough~

Thanks so much for visiting my blog, your comments are so appreciated ~ It gives me the chance to pop over and visit yours :O)

My Card~
Cardstock: orchid base card and aqua blue are from Martha Stewart
Stamps: The large polka dots are from my Impression Obsession background stamp inked with Brilliance 'Pearlescent Sky Blue' to make my own background paper (again :)
Tools: "With Love" is a Cuttlebug embossing folder; Border punch is 'Arch Lattice' from Martha Stewart
Embellishments: The hand-cut felt flowers are from my stash of black and white felt squares bought at Joanne's; the smaller cut out felt flowers with bling are from 'Crafter's Square"; the black and white ribbon is from Big Lots: the blue button is from Making Memories

Moxie Fab - Tuesday Trigger- Vintage Pink and Blue Dishes

This is Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger "Pink and Blue Dishes" by Alicia Thelin. Love the color combo and think the Pink looks more Peachy Coral, so my card was created with this peach and blue and white. I made my own background paper (polka dots) and used the Emboss Resist Technique. I like how it came out and think it can be used for different occasions.

My Card ~
Card stock: Blue, Peach, Kraft from Basic Grey, White from Martha Stewart
Stamps: Solid wildflowers is from "Just For Fun"; the large polka dots are from Impression Obsession "Cover.a.card" collection
Ink: Ranger's embossing: Ranger's Terra Cotta (sponged over the embossed flowers and edged on the blue mat; Stampabilities' French Blue covered the polka dots stamp
Tools: Cuttlebug "script" embossing folder; Martha Stewart's scalloped edge; Corner rounder from EKSuccess
Ribbon is from Target

Moxie Fab - Three Cheers for Chairs Challenge

Moxie Fab has a challenge that looked like a fun one to enter. But, I couldn't find any 'chairs' in my assortment of stamps.... oh nooo! So, I was looking through the latest "Spaces" magazine and found this gorgeous chair for sale at a local furniture store. Thought this would be a fun 'thinking of you' card to send. The inside price tag is really the cost of this Victorian Leather Side Chair by Thomasville~pretty, huh?

My card~
Base card, brown and white mats/tags are from American Crafts
Stamp: Fern is Martha Stewart
Embellishments: button and embroidery floss from Joanne's; Lattice border punch is Martha Stewart

Betsy Veldman's Sketch Challenge

Don't you just love Betsy Veldman!?! She has the most inspirational blog ~ when you have some time (actually, take lots of time :o) head on over and check out her beautiful creations http://scrapbookgirl.typepad.com/paper_scissors_and_superh/

I needed another Baby Girl card and wanted to do something "new" --- just love reinventing that wheel. This is 2 of 3 baby girls born to friends --- the third is due in October. Betsy has a wonderful sketch challenge that seemed to be "perfect" for this card. What do you think? Is there enough pink?

My card:
Base card stock is pink marble from Xerox, pink and white stripe and flowery print designer paper from Creative Imaginations.
The sleeping baby bear on a cloud is a felt 3-D sticker from the Dollar store.
The pink heart shaped button is from a package bought at Michael's.
Glittery butterfly, star from my stash.
There is gingham ribbon under the lace and the white ribbon through the button - all from Michael's
Extra Giga scalloped oval punch by Marvy
Sentiment typed on my computer in brown ink
Hmmm, there are NO stamps on this card~it may be a "first" :o)

Moxie Fab - Tuesday Trigger-Square Vase of Roses

My take on the Tuesday Trigger- a beautiful glass vase of roses is this!

I actually started out with a square card and a stamp with more roses in a vase, but that card is not going to make it for Tuesday :o(
I will have to share it with you later. This card was finished and it does have roses on it in various shades of pink~ kinda close?

Moxie Fab - Tuesday Trigger-Easter Eggs

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your Easter. It was certainly a week to reflect and Thank God for all His many Blessings.

I wanted to post my Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger card before it is time for this week's~ I have all good intentions of getting these challenges posted on the day they come out, but....Yikes it is Monday already!

Last Tuesday' s inspiration of Glazed Ceramic Easter Eggs is from Alicia Thelin. How beautiful are these colors? I made an Easter card that reflects the bright colored eggs (however, I just had to sneak a few pastels in there too~just to make myself comfortable :o)

I started out stamping the bunny on white cardstock and thinking I would just leave him white with the brown outline...then decided to color him in with glitter :) Earlier, I stamped the huge 'Greenery' background stamp over the blue striped paper (it fits 4 times on a 12x12 sheet), cut is down to fit half of my card and cut a circle in it for the bunny to peek through. I stamped the colored eggs and cut each one out to hide them in the grass, which is two different colored layers.

You can click on the card for more detail, and as always, thank you for stopping by!
