TGF Battle of the Design Teams, Week 2

I'm back again to post my card for this week's TGF Battle of the Design Teams. This week we were challenged to create an 'easel' card. I have NEVER made one of these before, but I found a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers and it was pretty easy to follow. I used Kazan's sketch 49 at 2 Sketches 4 You to create my card. Here it is:







Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned Paper: K&Co (Wild Raspberry)
Embellishments: Stickles; stash- ribbon
Tools: Martha Stewart- Doily Lace edge punch; The Greeting Farm- stamp (Lolli Anya); Papertrey Ink- stamp (Signature Greetings); Spellbinders Labels 3; Sizzix Big Kick; Copic Markers

Our team voted my card to be the 'official' entry for us this week. In order for us to move forward in the challenge we have to be in the top-half of votes received. So we need your votes to continue! Please visit The Greeting Farm's gallery and vote for the 'Team Moxie' entry. You will need to register, but it only takes a couple minutes. We'd really appreciate your help to get us thru to next week! Once you've registered, you can vote by leaving a comment on the 3 cards you like most. Our entry will be filed under 'Team Moxie' here: TGF Royal Battle Week 2

TGF Battle of the Design Teams, Week 1

Hello again! It's been over a week since I last posted so I thought I share some of what I've been working on. I'm currently participating in The Greeting Farm's challenge for their blog readers and fans. We were all put into teams and each week we are presented with a different challenge. The challenge for the first week was to create a 'retro' themed card using the colors in this image:



Here's what I came up with:



Supplies:
Cardstock: Paper Studio
Patterned Paper: Bo Bunny (Kitchen Spice)
Embellishments: Basic Grey- stickers; Martha Stewart- glitter; The Greeting Farm- stamp (80's Anya)
Tools: Spellbinders Labels 8; Sizzix Big Kick; Copic Markers

I just have no idea how to even begin creating something with a 'retro' theme, but hey I gave it a shot!

On the go!

Hello again! So I didn't get around to posting my layout for the scrap-a-long yesterday...my bad. I finally finished my taxes and was just too exhausted to put together a post :-( My plan last week was to use 2 sketches...yeah, that didn't happen! I used a PageMaps sketch for the layout and used up more of the Basic Grey paper that I had been hoarding. Here's the sketch:



Here's my layout:



Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey (Lime Rickey)
Embellishments: Basic Grey- stickers (letter, border, chipboard arrow & bird); American Crafts- Thickers; Me & My Big Ideas- journaling spot
Tools: Fiskars- white gel pen

I wasn't completely happy with the layout at first. It felt like something was missing so I added the faux stitching. As for this week's sketch(es) for the scrap-a-long, I'm participating in the 'Battle of the Design Teams' challenge on The Greeting Farm blog so I'll be creating cards and maybe an altered project.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

How Delightful!

Popping in again to post a quick card using some stamps I just order from a new company, Lawn Fawn. Since I needed to make something quick, I decided to use the current card sketch challenge on the Bo Bunny blog. Here's the sketch:

Here's my card:

Scrap-a-long Week 3

Hello again! I'm back with 2 more sketches (yep, I plan on doing 2 again!) for this week's scrap-a-long being hosted by Adrienne. I've decided to use single-page sketches from two different sites. The first is from a new blog that I found over the weekend, The Scrappiest Sketch blog. They have a TON of sketches to choose from. I've chosen sketch #55 for my 1st layout of the week:


The second sketch I plan to use is from Two Peas in a Bucket's weekly challenge:



I'm hoping to have the 1st sketch completed by Wednesday, but I *need* to get my taxes done this week. I've put them off long enough :-( My plan was to get them done on Saturday, but we took RJ to the UniverSoul Circus. After the circus, we made an impromptu visit to a local park where I spent almost 3 hours laughing at my husband's clumsiness. I think he fell AT LEAST 10 times while playing 'tag, your it' with the kids and our friends....FUN-TY! I snapped some pictures, but haven't downloaded them yet. I'll share those later.

I hope you're having a happy Monday. Thanks for stopping by :-)

Introducing...

I *finally* finished the 2-page layout for RJ's first year album! I'm happy with the results, but even more happy that I was able to get it done this week! I owe it all to my scrappin' buddies. Me and a few of my friends went to an LSS for a Friday night crop. $5 for a night of "no frills" cropping....can't beat it! I think I did more talking than scrapping, but socializing is half the fun at crops ;-) So here's the sketch that I used from PageMaps:



Here's my take on the sketch:




Supplies:
Cardstock: Paper Studio & DCWV
Patterned Paper: Imaginisce (Baby Powder Boy)
Embellishments: American Crafts- Thickers, embossing powder & rubons; Papertrey Ink- stamps; Recollections- rhinestone; Bazzill- ribbon
Tools: Martha Stewart- double scallop edge punch ; EK Success- scalloped scallop edge punch; Spellbinders- Labels One & Labels Eight dies; Fiskars- craft knife; Cricut Expression (New Arrival); Versamark; Zig- pen

I will have another post later today to show my sketch for this week's entry for the scrap-a-long.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

Favorite Chore

Hello again! I'm back with my second layout for Adrienne's Scrap-a-long! I decided to do a single page layout first. The double-page layout is giving me a few *fits*, but I'm hoping to have it done by the weekend. For this layout I used another sketch from the Got Sketch? blog and I incorporated a color challenge as well, colourQ challenge #23. Plus, I was able to use up some more paper that I've been hoarding! Here is the sketch I chose:




Here's the image from the color challenge:


Here's my layout:

Embellishments: American Crafts Thickers & button; DMC- floss; Me & My Big Ideas- journaling spot
