Moxie Fab Mixy-Matchy Challenge


Happy Monday my friends.  I have a busy work week (traveling Monday through Friday) so if I'm a bit quieter stopping my your blogs it's likely because I'm on an airplane!  But no worries...this weekend I had play time in my craft room and decide to play along with the Moxie Fab Mixy-Matchy Challenge.  I took some strips of paper and adhered them to a piece of card stock before I die cut the triangle and stamped the sentiment.  I love 6x6 paper packs as the papers go together so perfectly...added a bow and I was finished!

I made this set of cards before I made the praying for you card above.  I pulled out the paper pad in the top of the drawer and looked for the scraps.  I cut the scraps into half inch strips and adhered them to a piece of white cardstock.  I then cut into four strips to make a quick set of cards.  These will likely be given away as part of a gift!

I love when I get to use up my scraps...I really need to do this more often!
