Doilies and Lace

Hi friends!
I played along with another of the fabulous Moxie Fab World challenges...

The Doilies and Lace Challenge
The challenge: Create a paper crafted project (card, gift bag, tag, layout, home decor item, mini-book cover, etc.) that incorporates a doily or lace element in an innovative way.

Here are my two takes on this challenge...

{Supplies: American Crafts cardstock, Crate Paper patterned paper, sticker and chipboard element, Maya Road gingham flower, lace flower from Jenni Bowlin kit, Heather Bailey fabric, My Mind's Eye brad, washi tape - unknown source}

{Supplies: My Minds Eye patterned paper, doily sticker, banner rub-ons, brads and die cut, Echo Park patterned paper, October Afternoon lace trim}

You can find all the details on this challenge & how to play along on the Moxie  Fab World blog here.

Crate Paper Love & a Moxie Fab Challenge

Hi friends! Happy spring!
I think my little blog is feeling neglected these days...but it's only because I have been a busy bee & creating like mad! I'm excited to have some new projects to share over the next few days.

Speaking of new...I recently received a box FULL of Crate Paper goodness. I ordered a bunch of product from their four new collections...and it is devine! I spent a lot of time in the Crate Paper booth at CHA...totally drooling over everything. But hey, when faced with this...

And this...

And this...

And this...

And this...

And this...

How can a girl not drool?!?!!
I fell in love with this mini-album they had in their booth. Layers and layers and layers of Crate Paper awesome-ness...

And I absolutely love how they displayed their Designers' layouts in these frames...

So much inspiration! I'm having tons of fun playing with my new CP goodies! So when I spotted Cath's Cityscapes Are On the Rise challenge in the Moxie Fab World, I knew just what I would use!

This row of darling townhouses is a chipboard piece from the Crate Paper Neighborhood collection. The 'Thank You' stamp is from Paper Source. Together with patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Good Day Sunshine collection, they make a very simple & super cute thank you note. The card was quick and fun to put together.

Head over to the Moxie Fab World and check out all the other fab cityscape inspired projects. There's still time to play along...
