MY HEART is always with you

I think this might be one of THE funnest challenges yet in The Moxie Fab World! The inspiration photos are so fun. For "The Map to your Heart Challenge" Cath asks that we use a map (maps) in an innovative way.

This is a tiny card made with Papertrey Ink's Mat Stack 4 dies, and Hawaiian Shores CS. The smaller panel is Sassafras' Sweetly Smitten from the wee bundle 6 x 6 pad. I love these papers. The sentiment is from PTI's Love Lives Here stamps set, one of my favorites.
The fun part - the map house - is made from an image I found at The Graphics Fairy blog. It's actually a map of France. I printed it on a piece of 4 x 6 photo paper, then cut the house out with PTI's Love Lives Here house die. A little pink felt finished it off.
Stop on over at the Moxie Fab blog and check out more great projects using maps. Thanks for stopping by:)  

Week #97 in The Shabby Tea Room

Hello and welcome to another Shabby Challenge in The Tea Room.

This week Fran is our host and she asks that we create a card / project using the colours Gray, Lilac, Peach & Pink. Also she asks we use some lace and a metal embellishment.

Here is the beautiful photo Fran chose for this weeks inspiration:

And here is my card using Bugaboo's Stamps Fancy Umbrella Image {umbrella 7}

I thought this sweet umbrella would make a perfect wedding shower card. I colored the image after printing it onto patterned paper. I added a couple stick pins that I added beads to, a couple different pieces of lace trim and some pearls.

This week Bugaboo Digi Stamps is our wonderful sponsor. The winner of this week's challenge will win 7 images! There are so many wonderful images to choose from.

Be sure to stop in at the Shabby Girls' blogs to see more great projects based on this pretty photo.

Vintage Boudoir

Hello and welcome to Week #96 in The Shabby Tea Room! I am happy to be your host this week. Here is the pretty inspiration photo for our challenge this week.

Please create a card or project using colors in the photo + one item related to sewing. This could be stitching, buttons, pins, sewing images, sewing-related sentiments, etc.

    

For my card I used the darling Couch image from Tiffany Doodles. I love this image! I printed it onto a piece of Melissa Frances Fifth Avenue paper from the 6 x 6  pad. Then I colored the pillows with a Copic marker. I did some machine stitching and added a couple pretty decorative pins.

We are so lucky to have Tiffany Doodles sponsor our challenge this week. And instead of having one winner we will have four! The Grand Prize winner will get to select 10 digi images! First place will receive 6 images. Second place will receive 4 images, and 3rd place will receive 2 images. Lots of chances to win this week! 

I can't wait to see what you create for this week's challenge.

Week #95 in The Shabby Tea Room

Welcome to this week's fun challenge in the Tea Room.

This week Sheri is our host and she has chosen the theme of "Time Flies" along with this super charming inspiration photo.

Sheri asks that we create a card or project featuring something with wings.

Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps. For my card I used the

Pretty Flowers image. I printed it twice, once on CS and once on a neutral patterened paper. I then stamped the flowers on the CS and pieced them onto the other printed image. I punched the butterflies with a MS punch after using a woodgrain impression plate on red CS.

The winner of this week's challenge will get to pick out 5 wonderful digital images from 

Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps. These images are so fun and easy to work with.

I can't wait to see all of the shabby creations with 'winged' embellishments this week.

This year my "after Christmas" organizing has landed me in the craft room for a change! I'm getting my supplies organized so I can enjoy my space. Have a great week:) 

For You

Welcome to Week #94 in The Shabby Tea Room. This week Melissa is our shabby host and she asks that we create a card or project using the inspiration photo's 4 colors. (Blue, Pink (or Red), Yellow and Green)

"A Colorful and Shabby New Year"

I decided to use the Crafty Serets precious-ever-more purse template.

Both the template (014 Purse Template) and the patterned paper (004 Flower) are from the Creating with Vintage Illustrations CD2 by Crafty Secrets.

I printed the patterned paper onto cream CS first. I then printed the purse onto both cream CS and again onto the patterned paper. I trimmed the patterned paper pieces for the purse and adhered them onto the purse. I colored the handle with copics. The tag is from Papertrey Ink Tiny Tags. This purse is the perfect size to hold a gift card.

Crafty Secrets is our wonderful sponsor this week and the winner will receive the Creating With Vintage Patterns CD #2 and a gift certificate.

These CD's contain over 200 illustrations and include die cuts, templates and papers. The creative possiblities really are endless!

Check out the Shabby Girls' blogs for even more inspiration.

What a fun little wrapping station!

For my card I used the Merry Circle Sentiments - Merry Christmas from Bagaboo Digi Stamps. I pieced the image using Silver Shimmer, Red, and Kraft CS from Papertrey Ink. I added some machine feather stitching along the newsprint patterned paper and pinked the bottom edge.

A Very Crate Christmas Event

There's a fun challenge going on over at the Crate Paper blog. The challenge is to get crafty using papers and embellishments from the Peppermint Collection.

I made a holiday planner using papers from the Peppermint Collection 6 x 6 pad. I cut a tag from the Peppermint Collection accent Cuts using the Papertrey Ink jar die. The cover was made by piecing several of the papers together and then machine stitching in areas.
The title was made with an image from Papertrey Ink's Take Note stamp set.

Both sides of the inside of the planner have a skinny lined notebook. The tops are adorned with stickers from Alpha Labels. I punched out a circle from Candy Cane for the center of the button.
Thanks so much for visiting:)
