Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Flower Fusion

Hello how are you?  Here in Michigan we're having a heat wave, most of this week we've been in the 90's and it's been humid.  Tomorrow's forecast might possibly reach the 100 degree mark and all I can say is thank God for our central air!

Well the card I have for today is another one for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge...yes another one.  While I had so much of the supplies out on my work area from my last two cards and the image of the inspiration photo still in my head I ran with it and created another card.  This time instead of going with the yellow and black like my last two cards I went with a softer shabby chic look drawing from the pink rose patterned background in the inspiration photo.  I used the PTI stamp sets Flower Fusion #1 and the watering can from Garden Variety.  The flower was die cut using the Beautiful Blooms II die and a piece of yellow fleece then I added a pink button and twine.
Supplies: Flower Fusion #1, Garden Variety + die, Girl's Paperie Kitch collection dp, Button, Yellow fleece, Beautiful Blooms II die, Twine, Doily Details Die, Medium Scallop border die - TE, Polka Dot embossing, Ribbon, Stitching, Foam tape.

If you live in a state that's hot like ours, try and stay cool!

SSSC126 - Merci

Bonjour!  It's Sunday and that means it's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  I absolutely love Karen's sketch for today, the square for your main image with the border underneath and the large sized banner to the left...loooove it!
 Ever since I saw the inspiration photo (below) on the Moxie Fab World site for the Tuesday Trigger Challenge I haven't been able to get it out of my head.  So today's card is not only for the SSSC#126 but also my second card for the Tuesday Trigger Challenge. 
I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Think Big Favorites #3 along with the MFT rolled roses die, the Taylored Expressions Leafy Branch die and Medium Scallop Border die.  I paired those items with some stitched ribbon, Making Memories designer paper, polka dot embossing folder and some black rhinestones.
To play along create a card using Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, then go to Karen’s blog The Sweetest Thing and link your card so we can all see your creation!

Hey There Cupcake!

TGIF everyone!  Are you ready for the weekend?  I am, I feel like all I've been doing is driving my three kids around, between my oldest in classes everyday at 8am, my youngest in kindergarten readiness classes at 9am and my daughter's cheer practice at 10am and then all of them needing to be picked up I'm practically living in my van.

Anywhoo...today I have a quick card that I created using the Papertrey Ink stamp set Cupcake Collection and coordinating dies along with the Banner Builder die set and some Cosmo Cricket DeLovely designer paper.  I used the colors melon mambo and daffodil delight.

Thank you for stopping by!

Tuesday Trigger - Vintage Style

Hello friends!  Today I have a card to share that I created for the Moxie Fab World: Tuesday Trigger Challenge.  Below is the inspiration photo for the challenge, don't you just love this beautiful coat?  What struck me first was the pretty yellow color of course along with the black buttons and the roll of the collar on the coat. 
For my card I decided to use the Papertrey Ink stamp set Button Boutique and use a clean straight forward layout with the main accent being the yellow flower with button center.
Supplies: Button Boutique + BB dies, Chip board for button, Beautiful Blooms II flower dies, Sending You leaf die, Ribbon, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder - SU, Making Memories dp.  Colors: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight.
