Moxie Fab Thanks! Blog Hop

Oh, this is amazing - the last time I checked 283 people have signed on to the blog hop - it must be a record. If you still with this, then you probably have arrived from the oh, so talented Rebecca's Fellows blog My Kitchen Table Studio - do you have any stamina left to keep hopping??? Or did you arrive from the wonderful Wanda Cullen - Cullen-ary Creations  (ehm - I just discovered a glitch in the blog hop list - for some reason my name is there twice), but I don't want to mess up  the order and by now its too late to correct the error..) Cath is leaving Moxie Fab - how sad... She has inspired and uplifted us all - how wonderful it was to get her inspiration pictures, to play in her challenges, to read and get to know fellow card makers better, to get a chance to win fabulous goodies, and the list goes on and on......  So Cath - this is for you: You will be missed! You made the blog world a better place to be. You appreciate th...

Two more cards for Paper Smooches

Hi, just a quick post - I have been so busy with so  many things, but thought I share two cards I made recently and since both involve stripes I thought I may as well link them up with this week's Paper Smooches challenge ...... Both have Washi tape - I am getting more comfortable using it....The sentiment is Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler, some enamel dots and the flowers are from PTI.  I hope you like them. See you tomorrow - its going to be a BIG day! I am also linking this with the  Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - CAS

CAS(E) this Sketch and Paper Smooches

The theme is "STRIPES" at Paper Smooche s and CAS(E) this Sketch has a cool sketch to play with, which I posted below.  I am totally in the mood for holiday cards now, so I pulled out the Freezy Fellas set from Paper Smooches. I fuzzy cut the snowmen. the striped background is made with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and the sentiment is also Paper Smooches - Christmas sampler. A bit of twine, to finish it.  Just a quick post today, gotta do some other stuff now... I am also linking this card with the CHNC challenge - Anything Christmas CHNC challenge #150 - Outdoors and Simon Says Wednesday challenge - CAS

TAWS# 40 and Good Bye to Cath

Hi, my friends,  I am back with a new card - I have been insanely busy with work, so I had to take a break. But tonight I freed up some time. I wanted to play with the TAWS challenge and I also wanted to make a card for Cath, who is leaving - how sad for all of us! I really enjoyed her challenges, her inspiration pics and all the fun she brought to blogland. Her posts on Moxie Fab always put a smile on my face. I discovered so many things thanks to Cath. Her generosity is amazing!  So here is my card for you Cath: : You were an inspiration to all of us and you encouraged us to tackle new territories with your challenges.  I enjoyed your amazing pictures you shared with us. You brightened my days. I will miss you! I wish you well in your future endeavors. Perhaps you will not vanish completely. Many hugs, Cornelia --X-- I used my favorite TAWS set Bird Brain. I heat embossed the birds, colored them with Copics and fuzzu cut th...

Make it Monday #139 and Dynamic Duos #77

Stamped Square Frames - that is the theme at this week's  Make it Monday . The talented Dawn  shows in a video how to do that. Its easy and quick and the result is  fabulous  - I think!  I don't really have a border stamp from PTI, so I improvised - part of the fun! I took the sentiment from the Papertrey set Cutting Garden and used it as a frame. The dies are also Papertrey  - Beautiful Blooms. The one with the ink on it was a leftover from some project I can't even remember. (You know what that means.......) - it goes into the Snippets Playground ! I added a silver paper candy in the center, which I colored with Copic. That works just fine and you don't need to buy them in all different colors. I mounted the white cardstock on a red card.  I chose the colors to fit this weeks  Dynamic Duos Challenge and I am also linking this up with Seize the Birthday  - anything goes Thank you for visiting my...

Blog Candy Winner and a card, of course!

First the card! Keep it Simple wants to see sticky  notes on the cards. I kind of got stuck on the Holiday card theme, since I need to have a lot more and kind of wanted to now only make holiday cards, if possible until Christmas.  I took some arrow shaped sticky notes from my stash and arranged them in the shape of - guess what? A tree, of course!  Added some sequins. The sentiment is by Inkadinkadoo. I like it. Its really pretty and it kind of off sets the strong, geometric tree. This was super quick to make. I added some pink lines on the side - used a Copic marker for it. I am also linking this card with the CHNC challenge - Anything Christmas So, are you curious, who are going to be the lucky winners? I used a very sophisticated system - wrote the names on a piece of cardstock, got a hat and had my son pick two. This is for my winners - stunning colors. I took that picture in the Bronx Botanical Garden on Wedn...
