November Moxxie Blog Hop!


Welcome!!!  Are you ready for a new Moxxie Design Team Blog Hop?

The November featured collection is "Forever Family".


This amazing color palette is perfect for family portraits, heritage photos, and even a pretty fall-themed layout! The front sides of each paper are title papers for each member of the family.  The back sides have a variety of both masculine and feminine patterns for you to use to accent your photos. 

Card makers and paper crafters; the designs are small, so even on a smaller sized cut of paper, you are still going to get the colors and textures of the large design.

In addition to these great papers, the embellishments will help give your creations a family-type flair. Use them as titles, journaling spaces, accent pieces and embellishment clusters to finish off your pages.

The Moxxie Muses have put together some awesome ideas for this line and you could win* the entire collection.

Want to see what I created using this fantastic line?

"Grandparents are Great!"

I loved these photos that I grabbed of our little guy on the day of his big brother's birthday!  Grandma brought him a gift to help celebrate so he wouldn't feel left out while his brother was opening up all of his presents. Grandma Rocks!!!


I used one of our Mini Die Cuts from the Fall collection stack as a photo mat and incorporated many die cuts in the design from the collection. I've also accented with a circular cluster cut from my Silhouette and a few cut from my own dies. A button and bit of baker's twine added a bit of texture.  I used some foam tape under the sentiment block as well.  

The back of the bubble sentiment was lined with yellow paper to make the "You Rock" pop a bit. Accent circle bits were attached to the square border on the bottom for fun.   : )

This project was partially inspired by Sketch #344 from Sketch Inspiration.

Forever Family with Moxxie

Happy Tuesday crafty peeps!

I'm here today with a creation using the Forever Family collection by Moxxie.  It has these gorgeous colors and patterns that are so elegant and really pop off of each other!


I thought a black and white photo would work nicely...

I'll tell you a secret!  This creation was started when I had little with me to craft with other than a trimmer, corner rounder and some inks.  The coordinating die cuts in this line make it so fun and simple to put together a page, it's really almost effortless!  

The "Polaroid" style photo mat...  it's the bottom strip of the paper, just in brown.  I loved it so much I left it as part of my design element.  

When I got home, I added a bit of machine zig-zag stitches, one Cheery Lynn flourish die cut and that was it.

Ingredients:
Forever Family pattern papers and diecuts by Moxxie
Lemonade and Mocha Mama PowderPuff Chalk Inks by Quick Quotes
Journaling Sprout by Jillibean Soup
Fanciful Flourish die by Cheery Lynn Designs
Vagabond by Sizzix
Corner Chomper
Pearls by KaiserCraft
Other:  Sewing Machine and Thread

Thanks for stopping on over today!  Have a super scappity day!!!
