Moxie Fab Thanks Blog Hop

Today I'm taking part in a wonderful blog hop to celebrate someone who's put so much time and effort into this crafty world of ours. She created a phrase that turned into a blog that became a community.

 Today we celebrate Cath Edvalson, creator of the Moxie Fab World blog. This blog has been a part of my blog reading list for 5 years. The challenges and inspiration and crafters that I discovered through her blog posts have really helped me grow as a crafter. But the part of Moxie Fab World I'll miss the most are her "Oh My Moxie Fab!" posts. Those quick little images with a few clever words provided me not only with creative inspiration but also gave me a little bit of her in my day. 

I created this card based on the blog hop header. I just loved the colors and I thought that instead of goodbye, it would be nice to tell Cath how much I love this. I love this blog, this gal and this community she created. This community who is so going to miss her that they organized what has got to be the biggest blog hop ever! 

Thank you so much, Cath, for your years of passion and for celebrating crafters everywhere. I've discovered so many great card makers and paper crafters through the Moxie Fab blog. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you!

Happy!

If you remember from my One Little Word post, my word for this year is Happy! Well, it's been a bit of a lucky word for me because I got this card picked up by Paper Crafts Magazine and it's in the July/August online edition that's available now!

I love this card and I'll definitely be hanging it up in my scraproom for sure!

What's making you happy today?

Project Life and Some Fun News!

I entered Paper Crafts Magazine's January Gallery Challenge earlier this month with this card...and I was one of the three winners chosen! 

 

 

The challenge was to create a card celebrating a milestone birthday.  I chose 15 as it's a huge deal in the Hispanic community and I thought it would be fun to create a card for that.  Too bad I didn't make this a few years ago, then I could have given it to my niece for her Quinceanera! ;)

 

And, here's my latest Project Life spread.  I actually did this Monday night while watching The Bachelor with my husband.  (It's our dirty little secret.)  And, again, I totally spaced taking a picture of it the next day.

 

We've got Mickey at school, a BLT with the B made just the way I like it by Andrew, game night, my FIL's birthday, and a trip to the car wash!

 

 

The second page has Mickey reading to his sister (love!!!), Aud at the neighbor's, my iPhone shopping list (am I the only one who takes pics of things I need to get?) and a visit from a Great Dane puppy.  His name is Spartacus and he's the latest addition to my nephew and his girlfriend's house. 

I'm currently using graph paper with washi tape to decorate my pages.  I really like the ease of this and I'm using up my stash of Scenic Route grid paper that I've had for years!  Boo-yah!!!
