Moxie Fab Triple Play!!

Three Moxie Fabulous attempts today!

My favorite is the zipper challenge! I was really excited when I saw this challenge because I have been holding a Junkitz zipper that was sent to me years ago that I assumed would be the least likely to ever be used item in my stash. But, when I saw the Moxie Fabulous creations posted, I started brainstorming. And, I was so very delighted that no one else came up with the idea that I did that I am thrilled to be posting it today!! Added to my zipper tree is a Jillibean star that was Maya Butternut Squash Orange misted, a couple Basic Grey presents cut from a patterned paper and adhered with dimensional foams, a Little Yellow Bicycle Rub-on and two scraps from the November TSR kit.



But, I also am entering two new challenges. Yesterday, an all occasion challenge was posted. I decided to finish an already started project to complete this challenge. I have been experimenting with Copic markers and creating tutorials for The ScrapRoom. There is a coloring tutorial posted in their Member Forum on how I colored the Bo Bunny Olivia flowers. Hope you like it!!



Finally, today's Moxie Fab challenge is to create a paper crafted birthday card. I have been having a lot of fun mixing up my Lily Bee and WRMK scraps from the November TSR kit, and this card was no exception.



Thanks, Moxie Fab, for these challenges! I think that these are three of my favorite cards that I have made!! Be blessed and be merry!!

Flubeedoobee-itis, Scripture Sunday and Bo Bunny

I'm going to do my best to remain on point today.

This includes an allegory about Christian credibility and my failures to spread the word. Then, it also includes fun Bo Bunny cards. Very different purposes, yet to me, connected.

A bible mentor of mine once told a parable of Flubeedoobee-itis, (or something like that). The gist of it is something like this: If I were to approach a person who doesn't know me and tell them that they had a new disease called Flubeedoobee-itis, they would think that I was absolutely crazy,...right. Well, that is often what happens when we approach people about the saving love of Jesus Christ.

However, if in the case of the person with Flubeedoobee-itis,...if they knew that I was a very reputible doctor who has cured many from various illnesses, they might consider this Flubeedoobee-itis as something that needs great medical care. So, that leads me to my point. Although there is nothing to know about me that will convince you that I am not crazy; if I don't reveal anything about myself, I will never be effective in helping transform lives to the acceptance of the "good news".

There is a testimony here. God kept me alive, againest the odds. Then, he has allowed me a full life filled with incredible blessings. My necessary response is to tell my story.

This is intended to be my first of many "Scripture Sundays". I hope to create cards with scripture or spiritual encouragement and tell a little of my story.

The card above is being submitted as a Bo Bunny blog sketch entry. The card below is intended for Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #67: Make a card/project of encouragement or congratulations.

Holiday Gift Card Pocket

The Scrap Room is hosting a "Holiday Day of Gift Making". If your interested in the steps that I used in the project above, please see my post in The Scrap Room's member forum. You will need to be registered for viewing; but, it is entirely free. And, there are oodles of phenomenal ideas! But, don't take my word for it,....please, see for yourself! :) Hope to see ya there!

P.S. I used the same steps to make the Bo Bunny project in my TSR November slideshow.

More October Afternoon

Just a few quick additions. Above is a layout using a Pagemap sketch for a TSR challenge. Below, are a couple cards made to use the two postcards that I received in my embellishment kit:

The "moving {again}" card uses Card Positioning Systems #194.

I'm pretty sure that I won't be back now until after Thanksgiving. Have a marvelous and blessed Holiday!

A Little October Afternoon in November

Currently, I'm using a little of the October Afternoon line from my The Scrap Room kit.

This first layout uses a challenge that I presented on the TSR forums using a papercrafting recipe.

The following one, is probably one of my most overworked underdone layouts in quite some time,....it's a long story. The owl is a Pink Paislee chipboard piece that I have been saving for an occasion such as this.


If I do not see you again before Thursday, please have a very blessed Thanksgiving!

I am very Thankful to be living in a free country.
God bless.

Scrapping to know YOU with Bo Bunny

Playing along with manufacturer, Bo Bunny, I created a page about me using their Olivia line that I received in my November Scrap Room kit.

Journaling reads: Undergraduate took me 9 years. The journey was long and injudicious; but, I had the desire to continue deep in my soul. Through the death of my mother, a life altering accident, marriage, divorce, other heartbreaks, and several other life up and down events, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. I found that I liked learning so much that I went back about nine more years to obtain a Masters of Business Administration and a Masters of Taxation. Joan and Don White, (pictured with me), are dear friends who encouraged me and came to show their support.

On The Scrap Room's Member Forum, I left a little tutorial on how I created the flowers and leaves wiith the Bo Bunny stamp.

Be blessed!

Bo Bunny Olivia

Back again in one weekend! Been capitalizing on my feeling well and feeling creative! I dug into the The ScrapRoom's Bo Bunny Olivia line for today's post. First up, (above), is a layout for a sketch challenge on the Bo Bunny blog. The layout above is my submittal. The large white flowers are made with the Bo Bunny stamp onto white vellum and cut around the outside.

Next, is my take on The ScrapRoom's Mod Squad challenge #2 for the month of November to use white space. Deanna, also, left a Page Map sketch for optional use. I opted in. :) You can find the challenge on The Scraproom's Forum. If you need to register to see the challenge, it is a free membership.


Also, I created a wedding gift card with pocket to send for a wedding that we were unable to attend. We are a little late getting it into the mail. :) I hope they like it!

...and, here it is opened:


That's all for now! Be blessed!

Happy Birthday, Deanna!

Out of the Pot and Into the Frying Pan

That's how I feel these days. It's just been crazy. Sicknesses, breakdowns, an abundance of four-footed and eight legged intruders, exterminators, service providers, new appliances, doctors, dentists, therapists, teachers,....my head is swirling.

And, I thought that when we were done with 10 hours of football a week that we would be smooth sailing until basketball season starts. Boy, was I wrong! Well, here I am sleep deprived but feeling okay with some antibiotics, (finally), to ease my overclogged sinus'.

The Scrap Room's November kit is now available. And, it's beautiful! Also, very practical and generic, with a touch of Fall...it can be used for so many different types of photographs or projects:


Deanna and I are first featuring the Lily Bee line. We started with a challenge for three embellishments.....all to the tune of Three's Company. :) Want more Three's Company? See here.

My three embellishments are all from the November Kit: pennants, chipboard buttons and KI Memories Black Happy Words Scribbles

Last but not least, the layout at the top, uses a Sketchy Thursday sketch by Diana Fisher. Enter now for your chance at some awesome Copic Markers! Doan-cha love the Lily Bee papers!!

Have a marvelous week! Blessings, Janine
