More Moxie Fabulousness

Howdy peeps!  I am in love with the Moxie Goodness over at Moxie Fab World!  They are showcasing the current issue of PaperCrafts Holiday Cards and let me tell you it is to die for!!  Cath has lined up a week full of holiday challenges and today's challenge is All Wrapped Up!  Create a paper crafted gift bag, tag, box, gift wrap, etc. for the holiday season. 

I was SO EXCITED to see this challenge because I knew immediately what to get crafty with.  I made packaging for a Christmas gift, a small trinket or gift card will fit fabulously in this adorable stocking!

I created this as a gift in itself - something for the recipient to use in decorating for the Season next year! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Wild Card Cartridge

Howdy! Thanks for stopping by today. I love participating in Emma's Throwback Thursday challenges! It makes me go to older carts I have that I don't use as often anymore, which is great - AND - it makes me think outside the box! The challenge this week was to make a holiday card using the Wild Card Cart. I made a Christmas card using the Frame option on "pg. 48" - the Shower icon. I don't think I've ever seen that image before and was excited to use it!

Supplies:

Kraft cardstock - The Paper Company

Pattern Paper - K and Company

Christmas Sentiment - Stampin' Up

Timber Brown Ink - Staz On

Ribbon - Hobby Lobby

Christmas in July

Last year I waited until mid-November to start making Christmas cards! I'm thinking I need to be a bit more proactive in getting started earlier this year, so I've started playing around with some ideas. I came across a blog called Paper Cutz Challenge. It is a cute site and lo and behold there was a challenge posted - a Christmas in July challenge! The idea is to make a Christmas card any way you want BUT the challenge is to not use RED or GREEN! Sounds good to me, so I took an idea I kind of started and went with it. Here's a list of things I used:

Paper - white, gray and kraft cardstock (The Paper Company)

Ink - Frayed Burlap, Broken China (Tim Holtz Distress Ink); Lavender (Stampabilities)

Stamps - Inkadinkado; Basic Grey

Ribbon - Purple remnants from Hobby Lobby

Stickles - Platinum and Crystal (Ranger)
