Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger

I am just finding all kinds of time lately to work on some challenges! Actually, it's because my house is too full of people that I run off to my office more often!  This one is for the Moxie Fab current Tuesday Trigger Challenge.  I have always enjoyed the Moxie Fab blog but haven't submitted often (lack of time in a week!) I loved the Trigger I was inspired by those beautiful layers of colour and the butterfly topper this is what I came up with:



Products used:

Stamps: Hero Arts Many Dots and Penny Black Social Butterfly
Inks: Hero Arts Mid-Tone Bubble Gum, Passion Flower, and the Soft Purple Shadow Ink
Distress Ink Spun Sugar
and Memories Black
Wink of Stella CLear Glitter Brush

Thanks for taking the time!

Summer Birthdays

Feels nice to post again.  Between my last weeks of work before vacation and travelling I haven't had much time for this blog… Summer is absolutely THE birthday season in our family.  These two are for my nephews.


This first one is a Tim Holtz stamp. I love that stamp set! Hero Arts notecard and Copics.


My other nephew plays Hockey like no other! Finding hockey stamps is quite a feat, this snoopy is the only one I have found.

Thanks for taking the time!
