Splish Splash we are takin' a bath!

My kids always loved playing in the bathtub! It didn't matter how cranky they got, if we put them in the tub their spirits lightened and they were no doubt laughing before it was over!  Some of my fondest memories are of me huddled over that tub laughing along with whatever silly things the kids were doing.

This layout features the Tub Time paper from the Special Delivery collection by Moxxie. I think I got so caught up in the memories of those days that the layout ended up being relatively simple.  What stood out most in my mind, though, were the names they called each other.  Brianna called Eric "Ardeet" and Eric called Brianna "Nani".  That was what I wanted to capture in this layout, so simple seemed like it would work.   

More from the Special Delivery Collection

A few days back I posted a layout using the new Special Delivery collection from Moxxie.  I also promised that I would post a layout of the blue (male) version of this collection as well, so here it is.  Unfortunately, I still don't have these collections up on the website, but I promise I will get it done this week!

She sure was a special delivery!

Many of you know that I affectionately call my daughter crazy!  Mostly because she is, but also because she just makes us laugh with the funny things she does.  Like yesterday...she drove the car right into the side of the garage, then came into the house to tell me that she needed me to back the car out of the garage because it was on too much of an angle for her.  It would have been nice of her to tell me that BEFORE she took out the side of the garage.

Anyway, this layout features her first day on this Earth and the latest Moxxie release, Special Delivery. I also used some Core'dinations paper and sanded it to bring out the pink tones.  We just got this collection in yesterday, so it'll take me a day or two to get it on the website.  There is also an equivalent blue-themed Special Delivery collection that we also received.  Both collections feature several double-sided papers, rub ons, and a 12 x 12 sticker sheet.

It's CHA Week!

CHA (the Craft & Hobby Association) holds a trade show every six months where manufacturers display the newest additions to their product lines.  For me, I get to go and decide which new collections I'm going to carry in the store.  The energy of thousands of women shopping for paper crafting supplies is just incredible.  I find it to be the equivalent of taking a hungry kid into a candy shop.  I want it all!!!

This year's show started out with a bang.  I attended a pre-show party with Moxxie and chose these four new collections:

Party at the Pole

Racing

  

Bake Shoppe

 

and last, but not least, Special Delivery

All these collections will be in stock in a few weeks, so check back for project ideas.  They had some great layouts posted at the party as well, which I'm sure they'll post on their blog, Got Moxxie.  Check it out for some cool ideas!
