Good morning. It's a dark, dreary, rainy day here and I'm trying to get myself motivated to do anything besides crawl back in bed! How 'bout some sunshine today? I've got some colorful cards for you to peek at today...and a little info on how you could win a fabulous prize...
Just a small peek...
and a little look...
and a quick glance...
To see these cards in their entirety and read more about the objects and images that inspired them, head over to Moxie Fab World. I had the privilege of chatting it up with Cath...who I finally got to meet in person last month at the Paper Crafts board meeting and it was a pleasure. She was as sweet and kind (and organized!) as I knew she would be.
And there's a little surprise for you there today... Just by leaving a comment over there, you could win some Papertrey Ink stamps and buttons (the new Holiday Button Bits and Holiday Button Mix!!!!). OR Gypsy from Provo Craft! Yes, a Gypsy, courtesy of my friends at Provo Craft...such wonderfully generous folks they are. I got mine yesterday and I am in love....Anyone that reads my blog knows I love my Cricut, and well, the Gypsy makes it even easier and I have a feeling you're going to be seeing even more Cricut cuts showing up on projects. So quick, head over to Moxie Fab World and leave a comment on my interview post...I'd love to hear what inspires YOU...you have until midnight on Sunday the 25th.
Ok...off to be ambitious...I've got a lot to accomplish today, so I'd better get to it. Have a Moxie Fab day, friends.
yeah, it's dark and dreary here too, your blog always brightens my day though! :) I just don't understand how you continually out-do even yourself!!! It's not fair to the rest of us who thought we were creative. LOL! All just amazing.
Hope you're doing well.
Hugs

thank you for the head's-up about the blog candy, but before i go i wanted to say that the burst of color you shared is wonderful. too many times we stay with the traditional colors of a season...fall brown, winter blue. i am glad to see that you threw these out there to brighten my morning.

Saw these cards this morning on the Moxie Fab blog (yes, I'm a little behind in my blog-reading...) and loved them. But, no surprise there -- I think I love everything you create!
We've had gorgeous weather in NC -- maybe you need to move south. There's a house for sale three down from me... :)
Have a great Thursday evening!

I am so excited! I love your style and have been following your blog for a few months! Of course I always love to see what you do with PTI stamps, and cricut cartridge and am looking forward to all of the inspiration you will be sharing!
Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Thanks for the inspiration and the wonderful tutorials; I love your "funky chic" style and have enjoyed visiting your blog in the past year since you joined PTI. I'm wondering if you would mind sharing the type of sewing machine that you use - I don't know how to sew but I love the look of stitching on your cards. Any tips you can give are much appreciated. Enjoy your week!

Thanks for sending us to Moxie Fab World for a chance at the prize - fabulous interview! I enjoyed reading more about you!
I'm a frequent lurker to your blog and love your work! You have such a flair for mixing patterns and colors in fresh ways that combine a hint of vintage. (I wish I could make my bows perky like yours too, lol!) I'm not much for posting online but I just wanted to "delurk" and thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and for all the inspiration!
Posted by: April C. | October 25, 2009 at 05:26 PM
Wow, they're beautiful. Actually, everything is beautiful here! I just clicked over via the link on CraftGossip to your gift tags. I'm really enjoying your tutorials, I would love to link to some of them if you didn't mind.
