Got Moxxie?

Jan. sketch challenge w/ Muses Amy & Leslie

We have two fun layouts for you today.

 

 Frosty Fun by Muse Amy Allred

Amy used the awesome Winterland for this layout. It's the perfect base for some chilly fun. I love the transparencies she used along the top for icicles.

 

Photo Shoot by Leslie Mitchell

Leslie combined Western Round-Up with Nautical for this cute layout. I love the addition of denim for the banners and the belt loops she added.

Yee Haw Stagecoach lo w/ Muse Amy

We have a contest going on! Enter here to WIN.

 

My sons were cowboys for Halloween. And that put me in the mood to do a cowboy page. The perfect paper- MOXXIE's Western Round-Up. I scrapped some "old" photos from 2000 for my mom. This is a family trip where we went to an Old West Town called Columbia and rode on the stage coach. Being held-up was definitely the highlight for the unsuspecting kids. I glued on hemp string for a lasso effect.

Although not really a double page spread, I like my left and right pages in my albums to coordinate. And I had more pics so I made another COWBOY page.

 The paper is perfect as is, but that didn't stop me from altering it. To get that distressed look, I ran the center strip of paper and the edges of the mat under regular tap water. Don't be afraid. It makes the paper just right to wrinkle and alter and squish to lay flat. Then once dry, it gets a wrinkled leather look that is perfect for this page.

Barrel Racing lo w/ Muse Joan

Enter HERE for your chance to WIN a fun fall line!

Hi, it's Joan, and I'm here to share a scrapbook page about my daughter. She loved horses and was in a 4-H horse club for six years. She rode English and Western. We were at horse shows every week-end, all summer long. In this photo, she is barrel racing on her first horse, Paul.

For this page, I used three papers from Moxxie's new Grid Iron line, along with 100% Country from Western Round-up (the plaid paper). The large orange paper is from Autumn Glory. It's nice to mix and match papers from different lines and have them go together wonderfully!

I also used stickers from East meets West and the new white and brown alphabet stickers.

I distressed the two photo mats by running my fingernail along the side of each paper. I ripped some spots and then inked with dark brown ink. Finally, I added some blue twine and silver metal dots to the page.

Cowgirl layout w/ Muse Renee

Howdy all!  It's Renee from Scrap Owl with a layout that's fixin' to get your fires burning!

 

Yee-Haw!  My little lady turned two in pure cowgirl style.  She had a Jessie (from Toy Story) and Sheriff Callie birthday party.  We hosted seven of her best buddies at the local park district's tiny town.  It was rootin and tootin!  

 

 

In order to scrap these memories I turned to the Moxxie Western Round Up collection.  It was perfect to round-up all the fun we had that day.  The foundation of the layout is the a-side of Moxxie's Wagon Train, but I cut the Moxxie Urban Cowboy just a half inch on each side and placed it right on top.  

 

 

Since I knew I had a lot of pictures that I wanted to scrap and a ton to say about the day, I opted to print wallet sized photos and cut them down to 2" squares.  I tore a piece of Moxxie's Fancy Filly to anchor all my pictures together and then matted each one with the b-side of the Moxxie Boot Scootin. 

 

I used a white gel ink pen to do the journaling for this page, and I think you'll agree that it just pops right off the dark denim background.  

 

 

Since I was able to leverage the stitched cowboy hat design of the Moxxie Urban Cowboy patterned paper, I didn't have to go embellishment crazy.  My main embellishment is composed of a Sheriff's badge from the party, some "rope", and a fun "Wanted" die cut from the Moxxie Western Round Up Die Cut 12x12 sheet.  There is also a little fishtail banner that I made using another piece of the b-side of Moxxie's Boot Scootin.  

 

The rest of the embellishments are from the Moxxie Western Round Up Cardstock Sticker set.  I placed some around the individual photos in order to spice them up a bit (like some good ole five alarm chilli, ya'll).  However, the "dress up" sticker is not from the Western Round Up collection.  Instead, that one is from the Moxxie Filly Collection.  (As you can see, this stuff NEVER goes out of style!)

 

Alright!  Now it's your turn!  Get out there and get scrappy!
