Definition of MOXIE:
1: energy, pep; 2: courage, determination; 3: know-how

Definition of STAMPIN' MOXIE:
Using your personal energy, ideas, likes and loves to express yourself through the medium of stamping and crafting.

What's YOUR Stampin' Moxie style?

I believe we all have our own moxie. We each have a tune with which we march throughout our lives. Our moxie can change, too, as we change and grow through personal experiences and by witnessing the changes around us.

Part of the beauty of our moxie is being able to share it with one another. I enjoy sharing my moxie through crafting and have found that I can share a little something of me through the various projects I create. My desire is to share something I enjoy with others and allow them the opportunity to bring their own moxie out through crafting. Is your stampin' moxie style defined? Is it "vintage"? Is it "whimsical"? Is it something in-between or all of the above? Find out YOUR Stampin' Moxie style! Then, share with others...

Ocean's 11: CAS & Monochromatic Challenge

We received the 4th challenge in the blogger group I'm a part of, "Surfin' Ocean's 11" from PeggySue (check out her awesome blog!)
This week it was to do a CAS (clean and simple), small card AND do a Monochromatic theme to it.
Hopefully mine counts for both (I'm not sure if my hint of extra color is Ok!) It was a lot of fun and I really need to keep at the CAS - it's nice to not worry about the extra layering!

Supplies: 3x3 whisper white notecard; whisper white and basic black cardstock; black & white gingham ribbon; black brads; black Staz-on ink; summer sun & rose red SU markers; Studio G stamps ($1 spot @ JoAnn's!)

    Love the card! Must remember that cards don't have to be hugely embellished. Technical question: why use Staz-on ink?

    That hint of color is just the finishing touch this card needed. What an elegant and modern wedding card, I really like it and know so many people whom it would suit so well. You nailed this!

    Very nicely done. I like the layout and that splash of color with the bride is just the right amount.
