Got Moxxie?

Christmas Pups w/ Muse Amy

Are you still working on scrapping all those fun pictures you took at Christmas time? Well, Muse Amy is too and she has some wonderful pages to share with you today.
~Moxxie

 

Our dogs are truly members of our family so of course, they need to celebrate Christmas with us...whether they like it or not. I made both pages with MOXXIE's Happy Pawlidays.

In 2000, we have a white and red dog. For this simple page, I added some red paint to anchor the photos and the paper and stickers did the rest of the work for me.

 Well, 13 years later both those beloved pups have passed away and we have 2 dogs again. Somehow, they are white and red again. We bought these doggy elf costumes for the 2 pets above (they hated them) and reused them in 2013 for these 2 pups.

Don't they look like the most unhappy elves ever? I must admit, it cracks me up!!

 

These papers can be used for doggy or kitty Christmas pics or just for Christmas pics without pets. But why? It's so much fun to include your pets...whether they like it or not.

Jan. sketch challenge w/ Muses Wendi & Daniella

Today we are showing you an adorable layout and gorgeous card.

 

My Star by Muse Wendi Robinson

Wendi used Dance to highlight her sweetie out on the dance floor. Wendi does a lot of distressing with many layers. She also did some sewing around the page to add a fun border. I love the circles Wendi added to the layout.

 

 The Night Before Christmas Card by Muse Daniella Hayes

Daniella did a fabulous job turning this sketch into a card using the gorgeous Winterland line. She made the snowflake herself, then blinged it up by adding some gold glitter. I love the addition of gold.

 

Here's another look at the sketch. It really could be used for almost anything.

Don't forget to link up HERE.
See you here tomorrow for another great project.

Merry Music lo w/ Muse Amy

HaPPY HOliDays and MeRRy ChristMas.

 

These pics are of my sister and her family on Christmas morning. They are a very musical family. Hubby teaches music to minors and leads the worship team at church. A couple of her kids have toured the world in choirs and all know an instrument or 5. These joyful Christmas pics of the family playing music together just called for a wonderfully music line like MOXXIE's Musically Inclined. The colors are both cool and warm and really sing! A bit of tearing and inking added just the right roughness to the formality of the beautiful papers.

Christmas Gift Tags w/ Muse Daniella

I always like making my own gift tags for Christmas presents.  I like the way it makes my gifts just a little more personal.  It's the little things that mean so much!!

 

 

I used 2 different Moxxie lines for these gift tags, Musically Inclined and Joys of the Season.  I mixed the papers, diecuts and stickers from each set.  I finished each tag with a bow and a button.

 

I hope you make some Holiday Gift Tags for yourself! 

Happy Holidays!

Neighbor gifts w/ Muse Amelia

Good morning!
I have some fun and very easy gifts you could put together. They make great neighbor gifts. :) They could easily be paired with a roll of wrapping paper & some tape. I used two of Moxxie's amazing lines- Winterland & Happy Pawlidays.
Enter to WIN one of these beautiful lines HERE.

 

 

These are 6x6 sheet protectors that I decorated and turned into envelopes! The one on the left holds 3x3 cards and the other one holds some Christmas tags, even some for those furry friend gifts! :)

 

 

You start out with a 6x6 sheet protector and carefully cut off the side with the punched holes, make sure not cut the seam that keeps it closed! Then I cut out a 8 1/4" x 6 1/2" piece of cardstock, score it at 2" down from one of the long ends. Then you also need two pieces of designer paper- one to decorate the front side (so this can be any size) but for the insert that goes INSIDE of your sheet protector you need it to be 6" x 6 1/8". Next we will add some sticky tape to the back of your sheet protector and center and stick it the back side of your cardstock below the score line. Next you'll cut off the two corners at the top to make it look like an envelope flap and add a Velcro dot towards the center (I like to keep the dots together, stick it to one side then press down to stick it to the other side) It should look like this...

 

 

Now because you can see those sticky strips and they just aren't attractive! We insert the piece of designer paper you cut earlier, the 6" x 6 1/8" one.

 

 

Now make what ever you want to put inside of them!

I made some 3x3 cards for one and some cute little tags for the other.

 

 

Well I hope I've helped you out with a last minute gift idea! 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Winterland Vintage Ornaments w/ Muse JenT

Hi all, i am stopping by to share some fun handmade ornaments i made using a large diecut (adorable snowman) and fussy cutting out images (sled and ice skates)  from the winterland paper.

 

 

I first, punched and cut them out of the paper and punched holes near the tops where i want my ribbon to tie onto. Next, i placed the images on wax paper to keep from sticking while drying cause here is the fun part. Squeeze an even thick layer of dimensional glue over the entire image. (Tip-do not shake the dimensional glue as not to get bubbles and keep tip down in glue while covering images to keep a smooth cover).

Then, i sprinkled iridescent fine glitter to the wet glue. I then repeated on the other images and let dry overnight then covered the other side with just the glue to make for a nice thick dimensional ornament.

 

 

Lastly, i added a pretty ribbon to each and hung on my tree. I just love the vintagey look they have to them!

 

 

These would make great gifts too! Make sure to get your hands on some winterland so you can give this a try. Thanks for stopping by and happy creating!

Gift Card Holders w/ Muse Samantha

I always need a lot of gift card holders this time of year.  I think it's fun to make my own to make giving a gift card a bit more personal.  Today I'm sharing 3 gift card that can be made pretty quickly with Happy Pawlidays. 

You can WIN this line HERE.

 

 

 I started by creating envelopes just large enough to fit my gift card (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  I used the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board, but you can use any tool you like for creating envelopes.  I scored every side, except for the top flap.  I left the top flap unscored and opened so it can be attached like a tag to a present. 

 

 

 I kept the embellishments minimal.  Just a few strips of patterned paper,

 

 

and a sticker here or there. 

 

 

The best part is that these can be customized to any size gift card...because there are just a few of my favorite stores that make bigger, shaped gift cards!  Have a wonderful Christmas!

Gingerbread Kisses lo w/ Muse Ange

 Hello!
I'm so happy to be up on the blog today to show you this super cute layout I made using the fun Happy Pawlidays line!

We don't have any pets around our place but that did not slow me down on thinking of all the fun ways I could use this adorable line. Here's a cute layout I made of my little guy:

 

 

My kids thoroughly enjoyed making a gingerbread house that year and, not surprisingly, my little 3yr old, sweet tooth enjoyed eating the candies! It looked just like he'd gotten into someone's make-up when he was done, so we had him pucker up for a picture.

 

I started off with the backside of Santa's Little Helper for my base, then layered a section of the front side and Merry Christmas on it. The piece along the top is the barcode strip from Merry Christmas.

 

 

I then took the top corner of Define Naughty and fussy cut the flourishes so the corner of my photo would slide under.

 

 

Then I went to work on my title. I was going to do Gingerbread Kisses, cutting 'Kisses' out of the Pugs & Kisses sticker, but wanted to use a bit more of the line. That's when I noticed the Tis the Season cut out. I didn't really want the cute little doggies tho, so I cut just above their heads and it made for the perfect title. I layered Kisses onto a back portion of Define Naughty and used Moxxie's Brown Alpha for the rest of the title.

 

 

I alternated strips of the front and backsides of Define Naughty for my journaling and then added more of the stickers. A bit of inking and pen outlining really makes your papers and stickers pop.
