MFW Tuesday Trigger: Bright Bite

mmm.  Those aren't just sweet summery colors, they look delicious, too.........  here's the Tuesday Trigger this week at Moxie Fab World.

 What goes well with cookies?  Summertime or not, COFFEE!  This stack of coffee cups is a Fresh Brewed Designs Digi called Cup Stack.

and I used my other new embossing plate I got while at the scrapbook expo.  :)

CAS-ual Fridays: CFC52

CAS-ual Fridays challenge 52:  Feathered Friends.  I've wanted this SU! stamp set forever now and when I saw it on the discontinued list, I *had* to buy it.  :)  One Father's Day card down....  5 more to go. ;) 

 

photo inspiration challenge FBD!

New challenge at FBD challenge blog.  This photo can inspire by colors or one element, but you know it inspired great Alice in Wonderland cards by us-the DT at FBD!  Check them out!  Come and play.  It doesn't have to be FBD images.....

 For my card, I used the digi Decisions for Alice.

I'm also very excited to share that this card (click link)I posted for the last Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger was picked as one of the winners.  I can't wait to display the badge.  :)

Happy Wednesday!

It's almost summertime!

Seriously.  Where did the school year go?  It's almost time for my ds to say farewell to 1st grade.... that means, I have a 2nd grader.  What!?   I googled teacher gifts and came across two (well, lots, but two I wanted to do) ideas that I combined.  One was the beach towel, magazine, candy, and sunscreen idea.  I saw different variations of it with more and less items, but unfortunately, the one that inspired me most, I didn't save the link.  Sorry.  Credit to part of my idea (like the wording on the sun) does not go to me.  I did type it into word and then created the sun in Word to go around it.  I found that cute little bathing suit brad in my stash. :)

 

 

 The tumbler idea was all over the internet/pintrest, too; however, I loved this one and on her website (yay.  saved it!):  http://lisastorms.typepad.com/lisa-storms/2011/05/teacher-appreciation-week-part-3.html , she even includes the pdf to download the flag, which I did.  I just added some paper clips and a bling flower...

 and the card I made to go with it all..........

 

I wasn't sure how I was going to package it.  I saw the idea in a beach bag, but I didn't really want to spend any more money.....  BUT i was at Homegoods, because my MIL was so sweet and generous and sent me a GC for that store for Mother's Day, and saw these cute reusable bags in the exact same colors I used above with a beach-like print for 99cents.  It does say Homegoods on it, but who cares.... 99 cents for a great reusable bag!  As soon as I get ds to write his teacher a nice note, we are ready for the end of the year.  :)

Happy Mother's Day --------------- SALE!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers of humans and/or four legged kids. :)

I was greeted this morning by a very loving little 7 year old boy who was armed with hugs, cards, gifts, big smiles and lots of "I love you, Mommy"....   couldn't be any better than that (unless I could have slept in just a wee bit longer.  LOL!).

I don't have any crafty projects to share yet, but did want to tell you about the Mother's Day SALE over at Fresh Brewed Designs!  Go treat yourself to some fun rubber stamps and Digis.  :)

Have a HAPPY DAY!

Tuesday Trigger

The Tuesday trigger over at Moxie Fab is this photo:

 

and here is the card I created:

That's a new embossing plate I got at the scrapbook expo.  It's so pretty!  I love the added pearl stickers to it. The heart stamp is SU and I stamped it in gold and wet embossed it with diamond glitter ep from A|S.  This looks like it should be a wedding card to me, but inside I stamped "Happy Mother's Day".  I will be giving this card to my MIL.  :)

Happy Friday!

My friend and I went to the scrapbook expo today in Del Mar. I had never been. Wow!  Was it ever overwhelming with paper crafting goodness.   I could have gone crazy buying stuff, but had a cash limit.  I got some embossing folders and a nestie set.  Everyone got free glue dots and my friend even won a door prize.  :)  I look forward to playing with my new goodies.

I made this quick and easy card for CAS-ual Friday's challenge 51:  happy birthday!  It's CFC's birthday!  woot. Happy Birthday!  This card is for my ds' friend's 7th birthday.  I found some rub-ons in my stash that were designed for decorating bottle caps.   I stamped Celebrate (A Muse Studio), added the rub-ons and then made a little birthday flag.  The happy birthday stamp is SU! 

 

Happy Friday!
