Happy Monday, everyone!! I can't believe that I haven't been able to sit down and write a blog post today until now, but I have just had other things going on. But, now I do have some time...and I can proudly say that I am the Moxie Fabber of the Week!! Head on over to the Moxie Fab blog if you would like to read my interview, and see some of my favorite cards. Cath wrote the sweetest little note about me at the end of the post, and it definitely warmed my heart reading it. Thanks so much, Cath....I feel completely blessed by what you wrote.
In keeping with the Moxie fab theme...I have a super fun card to share with you today! I created it for my Stamper's Dream DT work, but also used some of the brand new papers from GCD Studios. What does this have to do with Moxie Fab, you might be asking? Well, Moxie Monday is all about the new "Funhouse" collection by GCD Studios, and they are giving the collection away! So, be sure to check out that post at the Moxie Fab blog as well, if you haven't already!! I also used the Viva la Verge March 2011 Sketch #1 for my card...I just love how it turned out! Check it out:

Happy Saturday night, everyone! I hope that you have had an awesome weekend so far! Ours has been lots of fun! We went out last night and celebrated our friend's birthday. The celebration continued this morning as we all had brunch together at our house, and then we all just lazed around together. During the lazing around, I was able to get a couple of cards done that were specially ordered by our friends Grant & Meagan. They have had some friends and family have new babies lately, and needed a couple of baby cards to send with gifts.
The first baby card was a great one to take advantage of the latest PTI Make It Monday #3, to add glitter strips with Scor Tape. There is nothing traditional about this card at all, and the glitter strip just gave it an even more modern feel to it. This card is going to a family who are die hard Auburn Tigers fans....which I can relate to, as this household is as well {my hubby was born in Opelika, AL and raised an Auburn Tigers fan from birth}. So, I went with an Auburn Tigers color theme for the card, and my friends are so excited to send it to their friends!! Yay...I love that! The other thing about this card...if you frequent my blog at all, you will know that I made a similar card last week, just a square version with different colors. I enjoy going back and "lifting" myself of past cards that have become some of my favorites! And the truth is...while they are similar, they still don't look exactly the same. And THAT is what I love about handmade.

"Babies are Such a Nice Way to Start People" supplies:
Cardstock: The Paper Company (white) & Bazzill Basics (orange)
Paper: Basic Grey (June Bug: Admiral)
Vellum: The Paper Company
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Inside & Out: Baby set)
Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: frost white)
Chipboard: Rusty Pickle
Twine: Darice Inc.
Pin: Making Memories
Jewel/Glitter: Doodlebug Designs
Corner Rounder: EK Success
Instructions: Fold white cardstock in half to make card base. Cut {3} 3.5x1" strips, and round the opposite corners of the two blue dot paper strips. Adhere to the right side of the card, making a striped block. Cut a 1" strip of vellum, and adhere a 1/8" strip of Scor-Tape at the top of it. Cover the Scor-Tape in glitter, then stamp the sentiment below. Wrap and adhere the vellum strip around the card, making sure the sentiment sits over top of the colored block. Paint a chipboard heart white, cover in glitter, and then adhere to the left of the sentiment. Tie a bow from twine and adhere it to the right side of the heart. Cover a chipboard star in glitter, add a jewel to the middle, and adhere it to the top of the twine bow. Adhere a pin to the entire accent, slightly tucked in under the twine bow and glittered star to finish.
The second baby card isn't for the glitter strip challenge, it is just another one where I happened to case myself again. I made a boy version of this card awhile back, and it quickly became one of my faves. So, when my friends needed a second card that was more traditional...I jumped at the chance to make a similar card in a girl version!! Here is what I came up with!
"Welcome to the World" supplies:
Cardstock: The Paper Company
Paper: My Mind's Eye (Lush: pink floral)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Night, Night Moon and Inside & Out: Baby sets)

Flower: Prima
Pearls: Kaiser Craft
Diecut Machine: Cricut Expression by Provo Craft
Diecut Cartridge: Storybook by Provo Craft
Instructions: Fold cream cardstock in half to make card base. Stamp the stars & moon border to the bottom of the card. Stamp the pink sentiment to the upper left corner, cover in clear embossing powder and heat set it. Cut the scalloped circle at 2" using the Cricut Expression & Storybook cartridge, and adhere it to the right side of the stamped border. Cut the circle at 1.75" and stamp the moon, stars and small sentiment to it. Accent the stars with pearls, and adhere to the top of the scalloped circle using foam adhesive. Tie a bow and accent the upper left corner of the circle with it. Add a paper rose to the middle of the bow to finish.
Well, that is everything I have to share with you tonight. I hope that you have a great rest of your night, and a wonderful Sunday! I will probably be back tomorrow with something to share!! ♥♥♥
Until later,
~Lea L.
