Long time, no blog

Hi there,

I have been out of action for a few months now. I quit my job, (classic ethics vs paycheck dilemma) had to design and get a new office space built, try to keep my clients from the old office and put up with innuendo from the old employer. Not fun.....My fun place to make cards turned into a a work space but now it's back to a den/craft room. Finally, a chance to make cards again. Here's a card for my son-in-law for his first Father's Day. He is a wonderful Dad to my 4 month old grandson.

Moxie Fab World Picking up the Pieces Challenge

I loved these images of women from Rubberneckers. I used Basic Grey Nook & Pantry paper to paper piece the womens' clothing. It was fun cutting and pasting! I die cut the image after piecing, running the Spellbinders die through my Cuttlebug. I was pleased at how the pressure really adhered the pieces down well. The sentiment and cardstock are both PTI. PS:

I am very excited and surprised to find out that I won this Challenge! Thanks, Cath!!

Moxie Fab World Doilies

For the life of me I don't know where my paper doilies are, so I used this Tea Folding Stamp by Impression Obsession instead. The card base is PTI, a bit of trim from Art Chix and a flower from Prima. If you look closely the flower has little crystals on it, quite pretty and a few rhinestones. The background paper is BG Nook & Pantry. (I almost didn't see that I had typed Nook and Panty....haha) I've always loved blue and yellow together; the first quilt I ever made was blue and yellow with some white too.

The photo is awful, it's a really grey day here.

Moxie Fab World Olympic Challenge (Go Canada!)

Here's another card that I made as I sympathy card. I like the text stamp on the flowers and was trying to keep it simple, but not sure if I like it for some reason. I used PTI stamps and paper.

Moxie Fab Olympic Challenge

Here's a BD card using a Bella stamp, PTI stamp and Basic Grey paper. One of my first times coloring, I've got a lot to learn!

Moxie Fab World Olympic Challenge

Moxie Fab World has several fantastic give-aways going on right now. This card was made for my grandaughter for Valentine's Day, so I'll put it under the "Love" category. I used PTI papers and ribbon, some glitter and a page from a French Dictionary containing the word "amour" because my grandaughter is in French Immersion.

I have enjoyed watching the Olympics, so sad for the Canadian Women's curling team who came so close to gold yesterday.

PTI Paint by number sketch

Wow, these colors were really out of my comfort zone! But, I am OK with how it turned out. I used all PTI paper and stamps and then added the little sparkle flowers for some bling. Love PTI products and they are sure pulling out all the stops for their 3rd anniversay!
