FF#51...have a holiday!

holiday...sounds divine...thankfully i'll be having one at the end of this month!  can't wait!  real quick post this evening...been not so fab the past few days so i'm way behind on some projects and very excited to get to work on them!  this week's Fashionista Friday challenge at  If The Shoe Fits...Scrap it! is a holiday for the holidays!  anything for any holiday!  WOOHOO!  here is the tag I created:

off to get inky!  have a blast!

Supplies: Stamps - Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous; Ink - Barn Door, (can't remember which green), antique linen, walnut stain, black soot; Distress Embossing Powder - Black Soot; Zing embossing powder - gold; Flowers - Prima; Filstrip Ribbon by Idea-ology; Ribbon - from my stash

is it really CAS?

a clean and simple card that is?  well...i'll let you see the card and then i'll explain!  LOL!

so here's the deal...i went on to Splitcoast to see what the newest Hope You Can Cling To challenge was...and woohoo!  the challenge is titled Happy Flowers...the idea is to make your own paper flower...so the first thing that came to mind was a lollipop flower...well i also started checking out the clean and simple challenge at SCS...the theme was Crinkle...well that works perfectly with my flower idea...so then I needed a sketch...so I hit up the clean&simple blog and lo and behold...they had one!  PERFECT!  so then i started making my flower...and it just grew and grew!  LOL!  it ended up being so big!  now personally I LOVE IT!  well when it came time to put the card together...all of the cardstock I had trimmed for the card base...seemed almost too small...but i ran with it anyways.  so now my flower takes up 1/2 the card!  (and forced me to very loosely interpret the sketch at clean&simple).  so...does this still make it Clean and Simple???  I decided it did...and have decided to enter it at clean&simple FTL111 challenge and in the CAS88 at SCS.  so there...that's my story and i'm sticking to it!  HEEHEE!

holiday gift notebook...with a Moxie twist!

wow...almost had a moment...a senior moment...i've been slowly but surely working my way through the Moxie Fab Holiday Cards & More week challenges...and I almost forgot to get one posted!  ACKKK!  I would have kicked myself!  I worked on this a week or so ago...and I had set it aside to let the stickles dry...and thankfully remembered today...that it needed to be photo'd and posted!  This project was created for the Season's Giftings challenge...I have a friend (who shall remain nameless..heehee...you know who you are!) who gets incredibly distracted this holiday time of year...one holiday after another straight into THE holiday...she can never get holiday cards mailed or keep track of who she needs gifts for vs. who she has already bought gifts for...so here is my gift to her:

Each section is tabbed off with ribbon and labeled for cards, presents, parties, food, etc.  plenty of pages so it should last a season or two!  if not...well...altering notebooks is a lot of fun...maybe i can be convinced to keep on giving!

now...since my posts are scattered throughout...if you are interested in looking, here are links to the projects I created for all of the Holiday Week and more challenges for Moxie Fab World that I played in:

All Wrapped Up challenge
Jolly Holiday Greetings challenge
Decor to Make the Season Bright challenge
and you are on the page for the Season's Giftings challenge!

Have a Moxie-fab rest of your Sunday!  Time for TITANS FOOTBALL!!!!!

back again!  woohoo!  on a card roll today!  another card for Hope You Can Cling To (Fab Flower Power) challenges at Splitcoast!  The idea was have at least one flower you made yourself.  My flowers are made from grungepaper, inked with distress inks and stamped with Studio 490 stamps.  The number background stamp was inspired by Simon Says Stamp and Show your numbers challenge, the color palette (orange and brown) and the little flowers came from Cupcake Inspirations challenge #80.  Whew...now that I've got all of that in there...here is my card:

now...off and running again...Titans play at 4ish...so hopefully I'll be celebrating a win later today!

good morning!  well...what's left of the morning part!  been up since the wee hours...so i had time to get a card started and finished early today!  Created this card for Hope You Can Cling To #10 at Splitcoast, using the Mojo Monday sketch #159 (MOJO159).  I love sketches!  There are days I can just design my own card completely from base up...and other times I need the sketch to get it going!

Lots of football today...hopefully my team wins!  Go TITANS!  until later!

what costume?

so this card i made is totally based off of a t-shirt that my husband has that says "this is my costume."  it's his answer to Halloween!  So when i was peeking about at challenges going on...the Simon Says Stamp challenge with a theme of Halloween had me giggling...have this lovely stamp from The Greeting Farm...and I figured...why not??  have a little fun!  to top it all off...used the fab sketch over at Club Anya Saturday Sketch challenge!  ahhh...love how a plan comes together!

Ok...off for some family time!  Will definitely have a post at some point this weekend as a review of a new paper trimmer I have...had some issues with my paper trimmer and went in a different direction today...plan on filling you all in later!  Have a fab Saturday!
