Clean, Graphic...and a Little Boring!

I love clean and graphic cards. But somehow when I make them, they are clean, graphic, and little boring. I tried to bling it up a bit, and that helped a little. This is my last challenge for the Moxie Fab Holiday challenge cards. Get on over there and look at the entries for this challenge and don't forget to try it out yourself!

Supplies Used: Georgia Pacific White CS, Green Galore and Basic Black Classic SU! Ink, Burberry Tree (Unity), Holiday Wishes stamp and DP (SU! Holiday Collection)

Shabby Chic...Vintage...Not Me!

Another holiday challenge at Moxie Fab is to make a project that is vintage and shabby chic. I was going to just skip this challenge because those are two words that do not describe me or my style! But it wouldn't be stretching my style if I didn't try it, and that's the whole point of the challenge! The card is OK. Not very shabby chic, and only a little "vintagey" (yes I make up words), but overall I actually don't HATE it!! Whoo-hoo! :)

Supplies Used: SU! Cardstock and buttons, Jesus Is the Reason and Vintage Ledger stamps (Unity), Pink Paislee and American Crafts Ribbon, Paper Studio red rhinestones, Red Brick and Hint of Pesto VersaMagic Ink, Sizzix Holly & Berries Texture Plate

Identity Crisis! (Friends with Flair Friday)

It's NOT Hip Hop Hangover...and it feels weird!! HOWEVER, it's Friends with Flair Friday, and that feels GREAT!! I made this card for the kit of the month challenge to use the colors purple, orange, black, and green. That of course screams Halloween, so I decided to go with it! I used my Swiss Cheese punch and put holes in the top layers of the papers and then put the purple underneath to show through. On the trees, I tried to sponge a "spooky" sky using London Fog and Summer Sun.

Supplies Used: August KOM, Scenic Route DP, Kraft CS, Purple CS, Scallop Nestabilities, Swiss Cheese edger punch, rhinestones, orange ribbon, Summer Sun Classic SU Ink, Memento Tuxedo Black and London Fog Ink

P.S. Some of the Unity addicts were using background stamps as a focal point this week for fun. I didn't get a chance to get another card done, but if you want to see the card I made with the very fun NEW Giving It All Meaning and Vintage Ledger background stamps, go to to this blog post.

P.S.S. Coming up in the next week or so, I will have some blog candy to give away. If you are a follower of my blog, you will be entered. So be sure to become a follower BEFORE the give away at your chance to win :)

P.S.S.S. (hehehe) Sorry this post is so long, if you're like me, you didn't read it all, but if you did read it all -- YOU ROCK!

If You're a Church Skipper....

I try to think of creative titles for my posts...because they really are just as important as the post itself, right?! Well, hopefully that title doesn't sound too mean! Jon asked me to make him a bunch of cards that he could send to people from church that haven't been there in awhile. I said, "I'm on it!" Then I saw a set from Our Daily Bread that I liked and said..."I'm on it IF I can buy this set!" hehe, I know how to work the system sometimes! So I made him a set of cards, very simple, but easy to mail and he said he liked them. The inside of the cards say "You've been missed!" and the outside has a various Bible verses. I made a set of 10 for now.Supplies Used: Flourished Christian Symbols (Our Daily Bread Designs), Very Vanilla Cardstock, Threading Water border punch, Scalloped Circles Nestabilities, Labels 3 Nestabilites, Quickutz Nesting Labels, Liquid Pearls, Cosmo Cricket (Girl Friday and Ever After) dp, Bo Bunny dp, Crate Paper dp, and some unknown dp.
