SPRING MOXXIE Blog Hop

Spring has sprung. 
In sunny California where I live, kids are already swimming. The air is fresh and cool and flowers are starting to bloom. I love this season. 

MOXXIE created this great line celebrating the joyful colors of Spring. The colors are juicy and fresh. I found some wood blocks and knew right away what I would do with them. I cut the MOXXIE Springtime papers into squares and adhered to all sides of the blocks. I painted some wooden letters yellow for a sunburst pop of color. Added some embellishments to the tops, sides and backs. 




Wa la- a HAPPY SPRING decoration for my home in such lovely colors. 
See what else the MOXXIE Muses created with this oh so pretty line.

Friends thru the Ages

I met Sarah in the 7th grade when I felt like a nerdy outcast and she was the popular flirt. Despite distance (we both moved in high school), we kept in touch. I was her Maid of Honor and she was mine. This picture is when she came to visit me when my youngest was born. It is so nice to have a friend who knows where you came from and sees the evolution of who you are.

To showcase this photo, I used MOXXIE's Springtime line filled with juicy, happy colors. The vibrancy of the line sings to me of friendship and youth.


I smeared paint on the background, then stamped over with more paint. Layered on the pretty Springtime papers and used MOXXIE letters that coordinate so well. A few embellishments here and there and the page was a breeze

Now...if only springtime would come a bit faster.

MOXXIE March Maddness Blog Hop- SPORTS

MOXXIE showcases well the sports we do in life. 
They have done lines in: Martial Arts, Lacrosse, Bowling, Dance, Cheer, Ice Skating, TBall, Track, Skiing, Hunting, Cross Country, Softball, Marathon, Their most current lines include: Basketball, Football, Racing, Volleyball, Gymnastics, Tennis, Soccer, Golf, Wrestling, Hockey & Baseball. 
Waiting on a swimming line (fingers crossed, hint, hint). I'd love to see more Martial Arts as well. 

To show off one of these lines, here is my son's basketball team photo. I played with lines to give it a look of motion.

Christmas Pups

Our dogs are truly members of our family so of course, they need to celebrate Christmas with us...whether they like it or not. I made both pages with MOXXIE's Happy Pawlidays.

In 2000, we have a white and red dog. For this simple page, I added some red paint to anchor the photos and the paper and stickers did the rest of the work for me.

 Well, 13 years later both those beloved pups have passed away and we have 2 dogs again. Somehow, they are white and red again. We bought these doggy elf costumes for the 2 pets above (they hated them) and reused them in 2013 for these 2 pups.

Don't they look like the most unhappy elves ever? I must admit, it cracks me up!!
 
These papers can be used for doggy or kitty Christmas pics or just for Christmas pics without pets. But why? It's so much fun to include your pets...whether they like it or not.

Paintball SPLAT

My son's 11th birthday is this weekend. And his scrappy mama had to make him invites for his party. He wants to go paintball blasting with friends for his birthday party.

MOXXIE's Fun Run paper is a blast- literally. Look at the great color paint splats. Perfect for paintball. I cute the paint splat paper into splat shapes. A bit of inking and hand doodled border and I'm I'm all set!

 Hope they have a blast shooting colorful paint at each other!

Pretty in Pink ***MOXXIE***

So MOXXIE sent me sample of their great new lines and I had pictures that were perfect for all of them...except Tiny Dancer which is all pretty and pink. As the mom of two sons and having no dance experience myself, I had nothing. Of course I could have just used the yummy colors for a friend's baby page or girls night out page or a sweet card. But then the same day I got my box of pretty papers from MOXXIE, my uncle brought over a box of old photos from Grandpa's and look- the perfect pink  tiny dancer!


This is my sister-in-law at age 6 in 1983. I do love a little girl in a tutu, don't you. The papers were so easy to use and the page really made itself. I doodled on some borders and added a bit of fluff and shine. The pretty papers make these old pictures sparkle!

MOXXIE Love

As a Christian, there is nothing greater than God' love. To showcase this overwhelming love, Christians are encouraged to be baptized in water and born again into God's family. Here is my friend Sarah recently being baptized alongside her children. What a blessing!

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Moxxie's new FAITH line is so soft and lovely with an accent of modern grey. 


Who doesn't LOVE Love? 
Moxxie wants to showcase their new lines with lots of love. And to share the love, there is even a lovely prize!
