Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - A Sweet Christmas

Another Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger!  I'm also entering this one in the Moxie Fab World Challenge:  Glitter is Glam. This trigger reminded me of Victorian days, with all the soft, muted colors.
Don't you love the soft pinks, and blues?

It inspired me to make this.
It snowed here today so I am in a snowflake mood!

I used a bunch of new tools and a bunch of old ones too!
I used a new Sizzix texture background - one from Basic Grey - then dragged white craft ink across the top.  I also used white Smooch Spritz to add more frosting.

The ribbon I've had for ages and have never used, but this seemed like the perfect opportunity.  It says "Peace On Earth" - what could be more peaceful than snow falling?

I used my Cricut to cut various snowflake shapes from that fabulous glitter paper now at Michaels & AC Moore.
Put it all together and you've got a sweet (and glittery) Christmas!  Thanks for the inspiration!

Featured...

It's been a busy holiday season.  I've had a number of sales in my Etsy shop, Initialed, since Thanksgiving.  It's been keeping me busy.  I'm very grateful for all the people who have featured me in their Treasury selections.  It's been fun to see the collections they've composed.  Here's one that fits the way I feel right - frigid!  It's unseasonably cold here.  I'm already wishing for summer.

Tuesday Trigger - All That Glitters

I'm a little late for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Challenge, but I couldn't resist the chance to use these beautiful colors to create a card!

This week's inspiration:
Love the purple, love the silver, love the glitter, love the bling - really, what's not to love!
My ribbon isn't quite as grape-y as in the inspiration picture.  I loaded on the glitter and the bling!

I think I might send this to my cousin for her Christmas card.  Thanks for the great inspiration.

MIA for a While

I haven't posted for a few days now.  I've been busy filling orders from my Etsy shop, plus decorating for the holidays, sending out Christmas cards, working, taking care of the 3 year old, and getting ready for another craft show!

I'll be back on soon though, so watch out!
