Color Play Challenge from Moxie Fab World

Since the beginning of the year, I have been spending a lot more time on my cards.  You see, I got a Cricut Expression cutting machine as a Christmas gift from my husband. This machine is amazing. The possibilities are endless.  I am able to cut any image or font, which means I can create some really cool cards.

I have been doing a lot reading online about the Cricut machine and card making.  One website I have been reading is Moxie Fab World.  What a great site!  I love all the inspiration I get from reading all the wonderful blog entries.  So, I decided to participate in my first ever card challenge, which was offered by the Moxie Fab site.

I had to create a card using only the following colors:

Here is the card I created for this challenge:

I had lots of fun creating this card!  I wasn't sure about the colors at first.  The sail boat was the first design to come to my mind when I saw this color scheme.  I went back and forth between a couple of other designs, but in the end the sail boat won.  I am very happy on how this card turn out!

Thank you Moxie for the great challenge!

Sabrinna's Birthday Card

Sabrinna is my niece.  She turned 11 years old this past November.  Every year since her 4th birthday I have made her a birthday card.  This past year she has started creating her own cards.  :-)  


She is very creative.  For her birthday I gave her a box full of rubber stamps, papers, decorative stickers and a book on card making.  


It is so fantastic to see that she loves making cards as much as I do.   I hope I can continue to be a source of inspiration to her.


Below is the card I made for her birthday this past November.
