This World is a Canvas-Tuesday Trigger

I made this card for this week's Tuesday Trigger and am just now blogging it! Nothing like getting in under the wire, I believe the cut off to submit is midnight! As soon as I saw this fabulous trigger, I new I wanted to play with Peacock Pretties from Reverse Confetti!

Don't you love that piece? Gorgeous! 

Here's my take on this inspiration piece using Peacock Pretties

I knew I wanted to emboss the feather in white on soft grey cardstock, and then I cut it out. I really love how it turned out, soft but striking! 

The sentiment is also from Peacock Pretties.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you had a great weekend:)

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger

It's been about a million years since I've entered a card in a Moxie Fab challenge, but I just LOVED the trigger that Cath chose for the week's Tuesday Trigger! These colors really sing to me lately, I think I'm over all things Christmas'y and ready for some spring colors;)

Here's my card using some stamps from MFT and PTI!

I was inspired by MANY things in the inspiration picture. The simple white curtain with the green border, the beautiful retro rug, and of course, the colors!

First step was to search through my stamps for that background stamp. I new I had one with that shape somewhere and finally found it in my PTI stash. See, there is a reason we must buy every background set we find, never know when you'll need it;)

Next up I had to find a way to create that green border in the white curtain. Well I don't have any dies this large, so I just cut a piece of cardstock, and then marked off a 1/2 inch on the inside of the cardstock, and cut out the frame with a craft blade. The rest really just fell into place. This is why I love inspiration challenges, you just have to let your hands take over and see what they can create:) The sentiment is from this month's Triple Scoop reward set by MFT! I just love all the sentiments and the fonts combined in this set. I believe it will be available for purchase next month, but for now, you can only get it when you spend over $60 (not a hard task;) I also used MFT's Fishtail Dienamics for the sentiment focal point.

Well that's it from me for now! I'll be back;)

Tuesday Trigger--Button, Button!

Hiya friends! Fly-by post from me today!

I stumbled upon the Tuesday Trigger challenge for this week and was instantly inspired! I just love the earth tones, the buttons, the ribbons, EVERYTHING! It made me want to pull out my new Button Boutique stamp set from PTI!

Obviously I took the inspiration challenge quite literally! I love all the button cards I've been seeing so I wanted to make one of my own:) All the buttons, ribbon and cardstock are from PTI, the pearls are from Kaiser, and the lace is some I got from the 100 Yen store here in town. 

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! See you later:)

Moxie Fab Pastels

G'morning! I'm here today with a quick post, I'm engrossed in tonight's episode of NCIS, loooove my Deeks!! LOL!!

I was blog surfing today and came across these fun color combo's on the Moxie Fab blog and thought I'd play along! 

This is my card for the pretty pastels challenge...

These are all Bazzill colors but I'm not sure if they're the exact same as what's listed on the challenge (though I'm sure the intent of the challenge is just to stay close to the colors, not have the EXACT colors). I bought one of those 1 pound Bazzill stacks and this is my first time using anything from the stack!

The stamps are all from PTI's Love Birds!

Thanks for stopping by today! I'll be back tomorrow with more Moxie Fab challenge cards:)

Moxie Monday!

Good Monday morning! I have a couple Unity projects to share with you today! First off, it's Moxie Monday! Do you know what that is? Well it's a blog that was started by Cath of Papercrafts! She shares trendy products and inspiration from the scrapbook industry and her blog and has chosen to showcase Unity today! Head on over to her blog, Moxie Fab World, to see what it's all about.
