Got Moxxie?

Little Mountain Man w/ Muse Amy

I've gone camping every summer of my life since I've been alive. And now that I have my own little family- we camp together too. One of my husband's favorite activities is hiking. This MOXXIE line called Happy Camper is just that- HAPPY!

 For this Hiking page, I used rough, distressed edges. I misted the green with "dirty" brown and inked edges of photo mats in green and brown.

   

I loved the trees on one patterned paper but wanted a green background. Easy solution- fussy cutting. It's inexpensive and can be done in front of the TV.

 

 I'm in love with that family photo right now. Isn't my family cute?
 Happy Campers!

Happy camper lil shadow box w/ Muse JenT

Hi all, how is your summer going? I can't believe summer is half over already! my favorite part of summer is getting outside more. So i thought to get the feel of bringing the outside in when I have to be inside would be to make some fun home decor. So, i used the happy camper collection to make a fun little shadow box to hang in my hallway.  

 

 

I first, grabbed an old watch box lid that i had (the other half i used on a past project) so it is a two-fer and up cycling in one. I then grabbed my brown acrylic paint and rubbed it all over the box for a distressed look.

 

 

Next i looked at the die cuts and saw the wood look frame... the size matched the box (i lucked out) then i grabbed  some more die cuts and papers to try and started adding the layers. On the inside is the green plaid paper followed by a oval die cut and then the tree die cut with pop dots behind it . Next, i added a back to nature sticker on top with pop dots behind also.

 

 

I then glued the frame die cut on the edges and added a flower i made using the pretty brown polka dot paper and a butterfly punch and added a tree brad to hold it all together.

 

 

Lastly i added the swirls next to the flower and tied a ribbon to the top. Oh! I almost forgot, the striped banner sticker i wrapped around the edges to finish it off. 

 

Thanks for stopping by and happy creating!!  --jen t.

Gone Fishing w/ Muse Leslie

Hello all and thanks for stopping
by today!
For this layout I used Happy Camper and
Fish stories collections.
This is my Grandson and his Pappy
on a fishing trip they took with my son in law.

 

For the base I used  Uninvited Guests and

for the layering I used  Stick-y ,  Sounds Fishy  and

 Flip Flopping.  I distressed the layers by tearing and inking

the edges.

For the title I used  Gone Camping  and

 Lure Me In 

                              

 

I also cut the lure and the fish out of 

 Lure Me In .  I popped up the fish 

to have the feeling he was jumping up.

 

I also popped up the Title for a little more dimension to the page.

To frame out the picture I added some

eyelets and twine.

Thanks for stopping by today!

S'mores w/ Muse Amelia

2 days left to enter our summertime blog hop giveaway!

 

Good morning! How is everyone doing? :) Today I have a fun project that I made to share with you. As I was looking through my Moxxie goodies I came across Happy Camper line. When I saw it I immediately knew I wanted to use it for! To make a fun S'mores Kit! 

 

 

Isn't it awesome! Happy Camper line had the perfect elements to make this cute little box! I used a sheet of Gone Camping and cut it into 3" strips and went around the middle of the whole box.

 

 

I then cut about an 1" strip off of Stick-y sheet. I accordioned it a bit to create some faux ribbon. I inked up the edges of it and all the embellishments and the edges of the box with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink. Love inking up my edges with that ink!

 

 

I went through the die cut sheet and found the perfect pieces to use as some tags. I punched a little hole into each one and then threaded through some twine and tied them onto the box. Isn't that owl ADORABLE!? :) Here you can see a little better where I inked up the edges.

 

 

Then I made sure to fully stock this box up! It's all ready to go! :) 

Who wants to make some S'mores now!? ;)

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Camping Journal w/ Muse Joan

Hi, it's Joan and today I'm sharing a Camping Journal I decorated for a friend of mine.
She and her husband go camping almost every week- end. I thought this would be a great way for them to document their trips. I used the Happy Camper and Busy Boy collections for this journal.

Composition books (like the one pictured below) are easy to decorate. I cut the orange paper from the B side of the Little Monster paper to fit the cover, up to, but not including, the black binding. I adhered the paper with adhesive squares. You could also use a glue stick or Elmer's glue - just be sure to smooth out the paper if glueing.

Next, I used washi tape from my stash and covered the black binding. I also ran washi tape around all the edges, partway on the paper and then tucking the rest behind the cover. The rope border punchout was added over the seam of the washi tape.

The embellishments (punchouts: owl, around the fire, frame and sticker: Camp Out) were added to the cover - some with adhesive squares and some with pop dots. Then I used punchouts and a sticker to make tabs for the book. I divided the book into three sections and added a tab at the beginning of each one.

The Back to Nature sticker was backed with cardstock to make it sturdier. That section of the journal can be used for birds, insects, animals, flowers, etc. seen while camping.

The marshmallow on a stick tab is for camp recipes. The Hiking tab is to document campgrounds, trails walked and even favorite campsites.

I made a bookmark for the journal, using a section of the pine trees from the Gone Camping paper. I inked the edges of the paper and mounted it to brown cardstock.

It's fun to personalize journals for friends and yourself!

Happy Camper w/ Muse Samantha

Hello! I'm so excited to share my first official Moxxie Muse post.  Today I thought I would share a 2 page layout from one of my favorite collections - Happy Camper.

 

 

I have just a few photos left from camping last summer that I needed to finish scrapping before we start this year's camping season, and I have a whole new summer's worth of camping photos to scrap.  

 

 

I decided that fun fire was the perfect icon to go with our camping food photos, so I grabbed that as the starting point for my layout. 

 

 

 

 To give my layout a symmetrical feeling, I layered up some stickers and diecuts on the left side page to go along with the campfire on the right page of my layout.

 

 

I love the browns and deep greens in Happy Camper, but combined with my dark photos, the layout started to feel a bit dark when sticking with paper all in the Happy Camper collection.  To add some pops of color, I grabbed some bright orange paper from Very Merry Unbirthday and lime green paper from Easter-rific.  Using the lime green to mat my photos made them pop more on the layout.

 

 

 

 Now that I'm caught up on last year's camping photos, it's time to start making some new camping memories and more layouts with Happy Camper!
