Got Moxxie?

Farewell from Muse Rebecca!

This is going to be a toughie for me...

This is my last post as a Moxxie Muse. I've been with Moxxie for three years, and I have had the joy of working with the most amazing people! I can tell you that in all my years of experience on design teams, my time with Moxxie was the absolute best. I am going to miss this piece of my life very much, but I know that all my muse friends will continue to be a part of my life. And, of course, I can ALWAYS pull out my Moxxie papers and play!

 

As this is my last post, I thought I would show some of my favorite projects that I have created over the years.  Join me in my walk down Memory Lane!

I love this layout I made for the winter CHA show this year. This uses the Fun Run collection!

 

On to a favorite fall page and mini album, using Autumn Glory papers.

 

 

People who know me well know my love for Halloween and dark things, lol. It should be no surprise that Zombie Attack is one of my favorite Moxxie lines!

 

This layout is bold and beautiful, using Easter-rific papers!

 

I'll always love this page, made with the grungy Basketball line. I added my own paints and mists to extend the tunnel in the picture out onto the background paper.

 

 

So there you have it, some of my favorite work made with Moxxie products. Now it's time to say 

 

It's been a joy working with everyone at Moxxie and with the beautiful papers. I'll miss it!

 

 

New Year Noisemakers w/ Muse Rebecca

((Today is the last day to enter our holiday challenge!))

 

It's New Year's Eve, and I can't believe it! How has another year flown by so quickly? I'm finding as I grow older that time really does fly. That realization makes me determined to make fun memories for my family.

We often get those inexpensive crowns and noisemakers for New Year's Eve. Most of the time, they are a gaudy metallic color that I am not a very big fan of. This year, I decided to give my noisemakers an upgrade!

 

It's very simple to do this, just remove the plastic tip from the cardboard flute, then roll the flute in cardstock or paper of your choosing. I used lovely Easter-rific paper! Once you glue the paper on and trim the edges down, just glue the plastic tip back onto the flute. Decorate as desired. Easy-peasy, right?

 

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a great 2014, and that 2015 will bring you joy!

Water Fun w/ Muse Wendi

Happy August 1st!
Come back later today to see who won the awesome Brainiac line that we gave away for our July blog hop!
In the mean time enjoy this super adorable page from Muse Wendi!

Hello and good morning...

One thing that I LOVE about summer is the bright, fun colors that come along with the season. I always take a ton of photos of the kids swimming and love the bold colors that come from the photos.

I actually used the Easter-rific line for this summer page of my daughter. The colors in it perfectly matched with the colors on her floaties and swimwear.

I added one of the border stickers across the top of the page that had a wave shape, and then added lots of "waved" stitching over the top to create a water feel.

And then also fussy cut another border strip and added it underneath the papers to add some color pop to the page:

I also cut in half, one of the journaling cards, and fussy cut some pennants out for the bottom portion of my page:

So mix around those lines and use them more than just the season they were intended for!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day

 

Wendi

Birthday Shaker card w/ Muse Samantha

You can find the blog hop here.

 

Hello!

Today I have a bright birthday shaker card to share with you.  My niece's birthday is in June, and I just couldn't wait to make her a fun, girly card!

 

 

 

I like to keep an eye on current trends, and incorporate them in to my stye. Sequins are really popular right now, and because of that we're seeing a lot more shaker cards, again...which is a trend I can totally get on board with!

 

 

 

I usually don't mix and match a lot across different paper collections, but I've found with Moxxie, it's a super easy thing to do.  For example, with my card today, I started with that fun cupcake paper from  Very Merry Unbirthday (since it's a birthday card), but I also fell in love with that orange and purple polka dot paper from Easter-rific, so I used those papers as a starting point.  I used a mix of stickers and die cut pieces from both collections to embellish the card and keep the whole thing cohesive. 

 

 

I think this bright and sequin-y card is just perfect for my soon to be 13 year old niece!

 

 

Supplies:

Very Merry Unbirthday I'm Late

Very Merry Unbirthday Sweet Treat

Very Merry Unbirthday Die Cuts

Two Years of Inspiration!

Moxxie Muse Susie Bentz hosting the blog today.

I have been a member of the Moxxie Design Team Team for the past 2 years and I have enjoyed every minute.  The company is great, the products are fun and most importantly,  I have been blessed to work with a group of very talented and generous designers who taught and inspired me every month.  Today is my final post for Moxxie and I would like to share my favorite projects from each of my fellow Muses:

The first project I would like to share is by the talented Misty Rushlow. She used Moxxie's  Road to Recovery collection to create this beautiful file folder mini-album and provided a step by step tutorial.   I really think this is the perfect project for this collection.  You can see her original post HERE.

 

 

When I think of Patti Hamil I think of lush, detailed, elegant layouts.  My favorite happens to be the last project that Patti designed for Moxxie. She used the Fighting Back collection on this beautiful creation.  You can see detail shots on her original post HERE.

  

 

I adore Rhonda Van Ginkel's special talent for creating the most amazing embellishment clusters! One of my favorite examples is this layout using Moxxie's vintage At The Ballpark Collection.  You can see some detail shots at her original post HERE.

 

Moxxie Muse Mary Pat Siehl shared monthly creations based on her own sketches! She inspired me with this layout using the recently updated Soccer collection.  You can see her original post HERE.

 

 

Cathy Harper knocked my socks off with this layout using the Reach for the Stars collection.  It was never on the Moxxie blog,but it was shared on the Facebook page!

  

 

I love all of the layouts Rebecca Price submitted, but my absolute favorite was when she combined her mixed media stylin' with the grungy Basketball collection. Her original post takes you through the steps she took to alter the background paper!

  

 

Absolutely everything Dana Tatar creates is perfect down to the last detail...like the cool brads she used to embellish the tractor wheels on this layout using the new Down on the Farm collection. Her projects often include fussy cutting, florals and dimensional touches. You can see all the details on her original post HERE.

 

No other way to say it...Michelle James creates off-the-page projects that are off the hook!  One of her recent projects, using the Easter-rific collection, makes me wish I was one of her peeps!  You have to check out the original post for the details!

 

Last but not least is Moxxie Muse Ange Weisbeck.  What I admire most is her ability to inject so much humor and personality into her layouts.  She integrates a little bit of grunge and a lot of honesty and makes you feel like you want to know her family.  She is amazing.  This layout, using Happy Camper and Fish Stories, can be found on the Facebook page.

 

 

Finally, I will share one of my favorite layouts from my time with Moxxie, which happens to be one of the layouts I submitted with my original DT application!  My boys were both wrestlers and I loved playing with both of Moxxie's themed collections:  Wrestling and Born to Wrestle.  You can see my orignial post HERE

 

Thank you so very much for the inspiration and friendship ladies!  

Congratulations and good luck to the new team of Moxxie Muses!  Enjoy the journey!

As always, I hope you find some time to play today!  Susie

Coloring Easter Eggs with Moxxie

Hello and welcome!  Susie hosting the blog today.  Are you like me...still trying to finish off those Easter pictures?  Well here is a little inspiration using the Easter-rific line!

I paired the brightly colored chevron stripe on the Work of Art paper with a laser cut Easter themed overlay.  When I cut along the pattern, I made sure the top stripe left was green - it made me think of grass! 

 

The little bunnies you see peeking out around the title were trimmed out of the Easter Journal Cards.  Here's a close up of one of those cuties!

 

I added a couple of the journal cards to the egg shaped openings and created a subtitle by cutting "Easter" out of another card.  

I used a black pen to add some touches around the letters and adhered a mulberry rose for a little dimension! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!

Spring Card in a Box with Dana Tatar

Hi Moxxie fans! Dana here today sharing a card in a box that I created with the NEW Easter-rific collection. The flowers are in bloom and I've managed to capture a little bit of Spring in this project.

This card folds completely flat for mailing! If you'd like to create one for yourself, check out this fantastic video tutorial. I think the polka dot B-sides of the Easter-rific patterned papers are super fun.

 

 

I used Think Spring and Just Hatched to embellish the sides of this card. The Easter Border Stickers were a quick and easy way to add patterned designs to the sides of the card.

 

I used one of the Easter Element Stickers for the focal point of this card.

Thanks for stopping by today!
