Moxxie Hop

Are you ready for another fun Moxxie blog hop?  For November we are focusing on the 
Forever Family line.

This amazing color palette is perfect for family portraits, heritage photos, and even a pretty fall-themed layout! The front sides of the paper are title papers for each member of the family, and the back sides have a variety of both masculine and feminine patterns for you to use to accent your photos. Card makers and papercrafters the designs are small, so even on a cut down piece of paper, you are still going to get the colors and textures of the large design.

In addition to these great papers, the embellishments will help give your creations a family-type flair. Use them as titles, journaling spaces, accent pieces, and embellishment clusters to finish off your pages.

The Moxxie Muses have put together some awesome ideas for this line and you could win the collection.  All you have to do is hop through the blogs and comment on each one.  For an extra entry, comment on the Facebook page and "like" us if you have not already.  How simple is that?   Comments need to be made by Tuesday evening and the winner will be announced on Wednesday on the Moxxie Blog.  Our international customers and fans are free to play along if you are willing to pay the shipping if you are the winner of the prize.

Below my layout are the blog links for hopping.  Just start at the top (Moxxie blog) and work your way down the list until you have visited all eleven blogs.  We are so happy to have you joining us and hope you enjoy the projects we have made.

Happy hopping!

I adore this line from Moxxie, love, love, love the colors.  I had time to sit down and really create yesterday...I am just infatuated with the new trend of layers.  Thought I would try my hand at it.  I had so much fun just adding this and that and then a bit more to this layout.  Moxxie products layer perfectly and really make it easy.  It just all fell together perfectly!

My very handsome son got married on October 13, it was a gorgeous day and we welcome this beautiful young woman and our two precious new grandbabies to our lives.  Yep, my husband and I are just a little smitten with these little people.  It was a happy day and we look forward to the future with the addition to our family~

I had a ton of fun, creating and playing while making this layout with 

Moxxie's All Hallow's Eve!  Check out the link 

Got Moxxie

I used the latest sketch from 

Sketchabilities #77.  I really didn't vary too much from the sketch like I normally do.  I just knew when I saw it that it was perfect for this layout!  And why mess with perfection?!

Please click on the above photo to see it in better quality, gloomy and yucky here...so it is kind of hard to see this dashing pirate's adorable face!

I used a bit of everything to create this...my Silhouette Cameo with several files, tons of Moxxie, a paper doily, Glimmer Mist and Ranger Dylusions, My Favorite Things Fish Tail Banners and a little of this and that!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Echo Park's Fall Fever layout

I had some time to create just for me or maybe I should say for a friend.  I just love these photos that Leah shared with me and had the perfect collection in my hands to play!

Echo Park's Fall Fever...it is a mini kit, so just perfect for a couple of layouts and cards!  Love how it turned out.

I used tons of different washi tapes and my Silhouette!  

Hope you are having a fantastic Fall day!

Moxxie Made in Minutes

I just wanted to share some cards with you that I literally made in minutes.  I adore Moxxie Die Cuts and Stickers...great designs and you get tons of variety from each collection!

I love how easy it is to layer and create with the die cuts and stickers....it just makes the new trend of layering so dang easy.

For the cards that I created today I used the following Moxxie collections....Road To Recovery, All Hallow’s Eve and Very Merry Unbirthday.

I want to super stress to you that I really did make these in minutes, I usually stress over my cards and spend way too much time on them, but with Moxxie you just pick out your favorite die cut or sticker, pick out some coordinating card stock and layer away...that’s it, your done!

 

 

I added a bit of embossed card stock, bits of bling and twine to these Road To Recovery Cards.  I love this color combo, it is one of my favorite looks of the year.

 

I reach for this collection over and over again.  There is just something about it that inspires me to create.

 

 

Working with the All Hallow’s Eve collection is almost too easy...amazing designs and perfect spooky colors.  This is a must have collection for all you Halloween lovers.

I used Bazzill Swiss Dot Black Pepper Embossed card stock...picked my die cuts and stickers...again made in minutes.  Twine, buttons and pins were the finishing touches.

 

 

Again, with the Black Swiss Dot Black Pepper Embossed card stock.  It may be unusual to use black card stock with a birthday line...but the colors of Very Merry Unbirthday just simply pop when using black card stock.  I have used this line for several little people birthday layouts and I have just loved the results, so I had to give it a try with cards...and yep, I love these too!

Again, all I added was twine and flowers.

 

I and everyone here at Moxxie would love to see what you create with Moxxie Die cuts and Stickers.  Please post your creations to our Facebook page, you will be amazed and thrilled with the results of creating Moxxie Made in Minutes Style!

Cards and Doilies

I love creating cards and layouts using doilies...I had to restock my stash last week, that's how many I use.  I just love the soft touch that they add and they are just so perfect for layering!

Yep, I love them!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the day!
