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!

 

 

First 10K @ 40 w/ Muse Wendi

Hello and good morning...

If you haven't noticed I have completely fallen in LOVE with the Fun Run collection. I'm just drawn to all the bright, fun colors in the line. My cousin talked me into doing a race this year, actually my first ever race. I've never done anything before, not even a 5K and we signed up to do a 10K. I trained hard and was super excited, but then ended up tweaking my knee two days before. I was totally bummed out, but I wasn't going to let that stop me, so I went ahead and did the race anyways. I am sooo glad I did, it was such an amazing experience, and I got a cool medal too.

 

I LOVED the quote from the cutouts paper and decided to add it and cut it up and have it as the main focus of the page, since that is truly how I felt.
I added my title around the 10K sticker:

I also fussy cut part of the banner on the running girl cut out, and layered it over the paper, along with adding some arrow sticker accents:

So if there's something you've never done before and want to give a try, go for it!! Age shouldn't stop anyone from trying anything, its just a number.

 

Thanks sooo much for stopping by and have a great day!!!!

Usher Concert w/ Muse Amy

These juicy colors on MOXXIE's Fun Run line called for a fun picture. Here is my friend Sarah being a cool mom and escorting her daughter Hailee and 2 friends to an Usher concert. I love that they made custom shirts for the event. Now that's cool!

 

The paint splats on the multi color paper look just like the colors on their shirts. The swosh gives it movement. You might notice that the curve of the swosh is the cut portion of the purple paper. I liked the organic line, so I kept it for the purple. I also misted the background for that extra little pop of color. The speech bubbles are colored felt.

Winner, winner, winner!!

The Dirt... and the Glory w/ Muse Julie

This could be a very long post but I will try to speed things up.

I will begin with my inspiration for my project.

Sometimes we get these wonderful papers and know exactly what to use them for, and others we get just because we like. So, as I was thinking about using Moxxie Fun Run paper I just couldn't find inspiration. I was having an artistic block.

So when I can't control my thought process (the block) I clean something up...in order to gain control again. And I decided to clean my kids art supplies.

My kids are 19 and 11, so in almost 20 years....they have accumulated roughly 5120 crayons, 2560 markers, 1920 colored pencils, and 80 pair of scissors.

This was the stuff they did not use!

So as I was putting the last donated crayon in the box...I had a vision.

And so my "bloom" girl was born. She was beautiful and she had crayons in her hair and crayon on her face.

I melted the crayons and used it to "paint" my girl. I thought she looked like she has lived motherhood...through "the dirt, the mud, the grime and the glory"

I guess to make my story short, I used Moxxie Fun Run line to create what it feels for me to come to this new chapter of motherhood.

Thanks to my kids.

Love,

Julie (mom)

We Make Mud Look Good w/ Muse Amelia

I love to see my girls get out, have fun and get dirty! Especially, if it's not on my watch! Hahaha! My two girls (who were 4 & 2 years old) had been over playing at Nanny's (my girls have always called my mom Nanny instead of Grandma) house for the weekend. The girls kept getting in the way inside that she decided to send them outside to play by themselves. When Nanny went out to check on them later, she got a BIG surprise! Those two little girl had managed to drag a hose out to the un-planted (thankfully!) garden, turned it on and played in the mud! You know what? They still remember that and had a blast! My mom, well she snapped a picture, sent to me and called me laughing. 

Such fun memories! 

 

 

The minute I set eyes on that sheet of paper in Moxxie's new line Fun Run I knew that line and this picture just had to go together! I took a piece of kraft cardstock that was slightly bigger than my picture and ran it through my paper crimper and off set it behind my picture. But once I had glued them down I decided it needed something else. So I carefully peeled up the left side, I may do this more often than I care to admit! lol, then added two vertical strips of washi tape and re-glued the crimped cardstock & picture back down. There, that looked better! ;)

 

 

I then added a little cluster of embellishments in the bottom right corner of my picture. I added a little resin flower with a button brad. Also included a bit of twine that I looped and threaded behind the picture. This time instead of peeling up what I had already glued down, I stuck a pencil behind the picture just to give me enough room to thread some of the twin up ward and have it come out the top. 

 

 

Then for the "We Make Mud Look Good" I used Moxxie Alpha's. I love the color assortment they have!  The colorful arrows came from the sticker sheet that coordinates with the line Fun Run. I love the bright vibrant colors against that dark rich sheet of brown. They really set each other off well.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Time Well Spent w/ Muse Samantha

Hello! Samantha here today to share a layout with you that uses a combination of new and old collections. Here's my Time Well Spent layout:

 

 

I love a good piece of wood grain paper, so I started my layout with a piece of At the Beach Surfs Up. The wood grain adds interest to the layout without being to busy and taking focus from the photo.

 

 

From there it was just a matter of choosing some of the more weathered looking solids from collections like Fun Run and Springtime.

 

 

My embellishment stickers were a combination of stickers from Fun Run and Faith. When mixing and matching collections it's more important to look at the colors and patterns on the paper than the name/theme of the collection. I finished up by creating my title with some of those awesome Moxxie alphas!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

I'm so Lucky w/ Muse Amelia

Did you know that St. Patty's day is right around the corner? Do you celebrate it? If so, what do you do? I'm always looking for some fun new ideas! :) We really don't do much, I either prepare dinner or a treat and turn it green. It's not much but the girls have fun with it! 

The layout I want to share with you today goes right along with St. Patty's day. It's a picture I took of my husband with our girls last fall. We were doing a back to school photo shoot but you never pass up an opportunity to get pictures of everyone together! Love these people in the picture! I'm so lucky to have them in my life.

 

 

I started out with using a sheet from Moxxie's new Springtime line as my base. Lately on my layouts I've been cutting down my designer paper by 1/4" to 1/2" along a side and top and then adhere it to a sheet of cardstock giving me a nice framed look. Speaking of framing, I did a little bit of with washi tape around my picture. I then cut out my clovers and part of my title on my Silhouette. For the first part of my title I used some of Moxxie's White Alphas. 

 

 

I've also added some sequins randomly and a bit of bakers twin behind my work Lucky and stapled the ends down with some green staples.

 

 

Then here I layered a clover on top of kraft clover and centered them with a button flair. 

 

Have a great St. Patrick's Day!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Lucky 2 have U w/ Muse Wendi

Hello and good morning..

With St Patty's day up and around the corner, I thought it would be a fun idea to leave a little goodie out for my husband to let him know just how lucky I am to have him in my life.

I decided to grab some Butterfingers, his favorite, and wrap it up with some cute papers and add a fun note to it.

I layered the wrapping of papers, I used the brown "Got Mud"  paper (FNR-1514) and then added a green layer and topped it off with the "Queen of the Crop " paper (QCR-1516) and punched a border on the edges.

I also layered the arrow stickers, pop dotting one of them up to give some dimension:

I then added a fun little note to my honey, and cut out one of the pennants and added a label on it:

And there you go. A quick easy project to bring a smile to someone you love's face....

 

Thanks sooo much for stopping by and have a great day!!!
