Mojo146 Celebrate you



Celebrating you... Isn't this what pregnancy all about?  Or is that just the baby shower when you get goodies for your new little bundle of joy?  I looked at the theme for this week's challenge of "Baby" at "Always Playing with Paper" and it got me thinking about what baby stamps and I realized I don't have that many that are "fun".  I wanted something whimsical to match this Basic Grey DP and found this stamp from a set from Hampton Arts.  (Sorry I don't know the set).  So I got all my goodies out and then I was stumped... what was I going to do for a layout and then I remembered this week's Mojo Monday layout that I absolutely love!!! OMGoodness!!! Reminder to self: make sure you look at the sketch again and not do it from memory!!!! I made a big booboo and messed up on the main panel.  It should have had a smaller section of different DP on the left hand side.  YIKES!!! I still love the card anyway.... OOPS!!!   I've watercolored a portion of the image with my Tombow Markers and the top has been paper pieced with some October Afternoon DP.  I love the look of sponging around an image and it's something I rarely do so I've been practicing at getting it just right (I'm not totally happy with how the sponging on this card turned out but oh well...).  The sentiment comes from Alli Miles' set called Take Three:Summer.  I'm loving this set for both the images and the sentiments. 

Have a great day!

Many Thanks Moxie Fab Style



I'm pretty lucky to live where I do with so many great stampers close by!!! Kim Teasdale and I recently went to a Norwex Party at Alli Miles house and guess what.... Kim and I both left with one of Alli's amazing sets from Papertrey Ink!!!  I came home with the set called Take Three: Summer.  I had been longing to have this set since I saw Alli's previews with them awhile back but hadn't had the chance to buy it yet.  So this was an amazing surprise!!


One of the things I love about Alli's style is that it is clean and simple and so crisp.  I find CAS hard to do but I've been trying to make some cards in this style and I'm loving it!  I love how things seem to just pop off the paper.  I noticed this week's Moxie Fab Trigger Tuesday and knew that I had to create a card using Alli's set so I got out some of my inks (Memento Rosebud and Canteloupe) and Versamagic Tea Leaves and Aquatic Splash. The colors came out differently in the photo than in real life but I still love the card regardless.

Many thanks to you Alli!!! You're such a sweetheart!!!
