Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger - Butterfly Dreams!

Hi Folks!  I can't believe it's been over a week since I last posted here!  There's lots going on around here these days.  I have joined a new ladies group and volunteered to be their blogger, so that is taking some time, and I've got a craft show coming up in May - my first ever as a vendor - so I've been working like a beaver on other types of crafts for that show.  And we're going on our first camping trip of the season soon, so I'm kind of in the 'getting things organized mode' with regards to the camper AND the house.

That said, I still had time to take part in last week's 'Tuesday Trigger' over at the Moxie Fab World blog.  Each Tuesday Cath posts an inspiration and matching card from readers and asks us to do our take on the inspiration.  Here's the precious inspiraton pic that Jaclyn used this week . . .

The elements I wanted to pick up on from this inspiration were . . .

• the colors
• the plaid
• the polka dots
• the daisies scattered around the dress, and
• the overall cheeriness, little girl sweetness of the dress

And here is my take on the inspiration . . .

And here's all the info . . .

Product Info:

• Cardstock and plaid paper are from a Die Cuts With a View stack
• Buttons, ribbon and lace from my stash
• Green rhinestone by K and Company

Cricut Info - all cuts made using Walk in My Garden cartridge::

• Base of card cut on card2 set at 5"
• Green 'smile' cut set at 1" and white shadow cut at 1" shadow feature
• Flowers (plaid) cut on 'blossm' set at 1 1/2" (2) and 1 3/4" and pink using shadow feature

Thanks for visiting!  I hope to have something else to share with you soon.  Blessings, Becky

Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger - MY INSPIRATION!!!

I can't believe it!  I am so happy today!  I just checked in on the Moxie Fab World blog to see today's 'Tuesday Trigger' challenge, and Cath selected MY inspiration for this week's chalenge!!! 

My inspiration was taken from one of my favorite blogs Dear Daisy Cottage hosted by dear, sweet Kim!  If you haven't read her blog and seen all the pictures of her gorgeous, colorful and somewhat kitschy cottage, you don't know what your are missing!  Here is the photo that I used as my inspiration - don't you L*O*V*E that lampshade!!!

And here is my card based on the lampshade . . .

And here is all the info for this extremely simple card . . .

Product Info:

• 
  
  Cardstock Die Cuts With a View from 'Be Mine' stack
• 
  
  Rub-on from Melissa Francis
• 
  
  Ribbon from my stash (eBay purchase)

Cricut Info:

• 
  
  Card base cut on 'Walk in My Garden' cartridge, card 2 set at 5"
• 
  
  Scallop cut on 'Plantin SchoolBook' cartridge, scallop set at 3/4".  I used a 1/8" hole punch to make the holes in the scallop

And that's it!  A very simple card that ended up on PaperCrafts Magazine's Moxie Fab World blog!  Thank you so much to Cath of Paper Crafts Magazine and Moxie Fab World and Kim of Daisy Cottage for making me one very happy girl today! Many blessings to all of you, Becky

Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger

I love Paper Crafts Magazine!  In fact, I now have in my little hands my very first 'subscribed' copy, the Janauary/February 2010 issue.  And loving PCM the way I do, it's no wonder I love their blog 'Moxie Fab World'!  If you've never visited this blog, hosted by Creative Editor Cath Edvalson, you really should check it out!

Each week they have 'Tuesday Trigger', which is a photo that you are to use as inspiration for a card.  This is my first week participating in Tuesday Trigger, but I'm really pleased with what I came up with!   Here is the picture for this week's inspiration . . .

And here is my take . . .

And all the info . . .

Cardstock:  Kraft cardstock (Sorry, can't remember who it's by or where I got it!)

Paper Lace:  One Hundred Wishes  (They have made some changes to their website, and I don't believe they sell this any longer, but it's still well worth a visit!)

Paper Flower:  Cut pages from an old school book that was my grandmothers.  I used the Cricut cartridge "Walk In My Garden" cartridge 'blossom' in various sizes, glued them together at the center, scrunched them and put a heart button from my stash in center.

Ribbon:  Stash, don't know manufacturer or retailer

Sentiment:  Melissa Frances Rub-ons

I love this card, and hope you like it, too!  I'll be back in just a minute with another card for a Moxie Fab World Challenge - The 'Taintor-Tude' Challenge.  Blessings, Becky
