Got Moxxie?

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

Sunday Valentine's Day Cards with Mary Pat

Happy Sunday!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner ( I know I can't believe it either). I love to make special cards for my loved ones and today I have two of them to share with you.  I used the How do I love thee? collection.  This is an oldie but a goodie collection.  

For this card I used the paper along with the awesome rub ons and cardstock stickers. 

Next, I have a tag card.

Once again I used the rub ons and cardstock stickers for this.  

I have made a quick video for you today on the techniques that I used to make these cards.  I hope you enjoy it!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back next month with a new sketch and projects!  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

February Sketch with Mary Pat

Hey Everyone,

Mary Pat here with you for the monthly sketch!  So let's get right to it!

This month I wanted to show you that a sketch is just a sketch- a starting point.  I made my sketch first but as I was creating my layout I decided to change things up a bit.  I still wanted to divide the paper like in the sketch and I still wanted to keep the basic idea but I changed my layout.  Here is a look at mine.

You can see I decided to go with one photo instead of two.  I also decided to go mainly with circles and make the stars the smaller accents.  I also decided to split my title stickers up and randomly place them in the botton half.    

For my layout I used the Chillin' Out collection.  This is a great collection that is very hip and cool.  

We would so love to see your take on this sketch.  Please post a photo of your project on our Facebook page!  

Thanks so much for stopping in today.  I will be back tomorrow with a little Valentine treat for you!  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Moxxie CAS Card

Do you love Card Making?  I sure do!  I love the Clean and Simple look.  The  look is just so elegant.  So today I have a CAS card using the Winderland.  Winterland is one my all time faves from Moxxie.  The colors are just soooo beautiful!

For my card I started with a white base and then used the beautiful paper as my centerpiece.  I added some bling to the centers of the snowflakes.  You always need a touch of bling. Right????  I then added my sentiment.  Very CAS!!! 

I hope you like the inspirtation today.  If this inspires you post a photo on the Moxxie Facebook page to show us!  We love seeing your work!

Be sure to tune in all next week becuase the DT has been really busy coming up with lots of fun projects using the Soccer collection.  You could also win the entire collection.  So you will want to stop by!

have a wonderful and crafty day!

Thursday Inspiration with Mary Pat

Hey Everyone,

Mary Pat here with you today and today I am bringing you a very quick and easy card using the T-Ball collection.

I cut my base in red cardstock and then I cut my pattern paper just a bit smaller.  I love the pattern paper with different stripes because it automatically makes the perfect card!  I added some stitching and then used the rub ons from the collection as my sentiment and embellishment.  How easy is that???

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!
