Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge

Last week, I found this cute inspiration photo on Moxie Fab World's blog. For those of you who aren't familiar with Moxie Fab World, every Tuesday they offer up a new challenge that we can participate in.

The colors in this photo reminded me of Close To My Heart's Bliss paper pack. So I dug my scraps out and got busy creating. And this is what I came up with.

Yes, folks, that's a lot of hand-stitching there. I even used our Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to create the little flourishes that you see tucked under the flowers.

Products Used:

Bliss L2 Paper (Retired)
Bliss WOTG Stamp (Retired)
For Every Occasion Stamp Set
Desert Sand & Chocolate Inks
Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge
Paper Flowers
Opaque Pearls
Neutral Embroidery Floss
Wishes How-To-Program

If you would like to play along with this challenge, you have until Sunday, January 29th to post artwork and link to Moxie Fab World. For further details, please click this link.

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a fabulous weekend!

What is B&T?

Ever wonder what B&T stands for? Well, the answer is...Background and Texture (paper). Yup! That's it.

I created this post especially for my customers that have been asking this very question. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Build Your Card Stash Workshop

Good morning. This weekend, I was busy creating some cards for my upcoming "Build Your Stash" workshop.

Just letting you know ahead of time that the pictures aren't the greatest today. It's a dark and dreary day outside, and I'm missing my usual natural light today.

You are getting a sneak peek at our new paper pack, Stella, as well as a new product that will be available after February 1st...baker's twine. Missing from this post is one more card for St. Patrick's Day, so please stay tuned.... :)

If you would like to join us for this workshop, please r.s.v.p. by Friday, January 20th. Cost is just $15.00 to create 8 cards and 2 candy boxes. We always have a wonderful time.
