Moxie Fab - Plum Crazy!

Cath over at Moxie Fab World has gone Plum Crazy! LOL That is the challenge over at Moxie Fab World. To... "Capture its depth. Sample its nature. Command its presence. Ensnare its mystery."
So when creating this card I really wanted it to be simple so I could enhance all the plumness about it. The paper is elegant eggplant & whisper white by Stampin Up. The ink is also elegant eggplant. The ribbon is Making Memories and the black rhinestones are by Basic Grey.

Check out Lou's card HERE (my sister in law).

S2G Challenge #29 & Cupcake Craft #62

I decided to have a visit over at the Shirley's 2 Girls blog since someone I visit often is on the design team there, Justine! So I'm checking out this challenge and it looks pretty cool...then I check out the digi stamps and they are super cute! So, I had to get me some and do up a card for their sketch challenge shown here.
I'm also using this for the Cupcake Craft Challenge #62 which is to create a card using the theme "THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT". I think this kitty qualifies for that!
For this card I used some Daisy D's paper, Basic Grey paper, some Queen & Co brads and other misc embellies.
Stay tuned for a BLOG HOP that I will be participating in THIS Saturday! I would love it if you could come back to check out my creation, post some love & you might even be entered to win a PRIZE!! :)

Apron Strings Challenge & Sweet Sketch Wednesday #17

I made a silly Halloween card for the Apron Strings 5 on Friday Challenge and I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday #17. I used the fall colored paper that I got from Apron Strings, thanks Lori!! The patterned paper is from Basic Grey.

Camping at June Lake & Some Challenges

So, I went camping with my boyfriend and his wonderful family this last weekend. They decided on June Lake, CA. Galen and I had never been there so we weren't sure the best route to take. His step-dad gave us 3 routes to choose from. The route we picked was through Stockton, Sonora, Strawberry and up over the Sonora Pass. I do not recommend ANYONE to ever take this route! LOL! It was a winding road and had tons of switchbacks so we could only drive about 15-20 mph the whole way over it. The drive took us 7 1/2 hours. The way back was through Lake Tahoe, took us 4 1/2 hours. Much better and prettier too! I give this lake 5 stars. We enjoyed kayaking and hangin out by the campfire! Ok on to some challenges!! I got VERY behind while we were gone, so I had to combine some challenges...
I combined the challenges Mojo Monday, Moxie Fab World and Basic Grey Challenges.

I followed the sketch from Mojo Monday Week 105. I used Basic Grey Paper Periphery, a BG magnetic embellishment and BG Periphery ribbon and did some wet embossing on Unity's Bevy of Butterflies stamps. The challenge for Moxie Fab was to use some gradient color, or ombre, so that's the light and dark circles. Here's my finished card. Please leave me a comment when you stop by! Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for lots more! :)
