Tuesday Trigger - Three Little Birds

I don't know a thing about the Bob Marley song that inspired this week's Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger, Three Little Birds, but I do know I love the understated colors in this giclee print.

Fancy Schmancy Die Cut

Well, maybe this isn't so "Fancy Schmancy" but I did make it for two challenges on Moxie Fab World....the Tuesday Trigger and the Cool Tools Die Cut Challenges.

Here's the trigger photo...what do you think?  Don't these look absolutely YUMMY?

Ok, I better move on before I eat something I shouldn't...It's Wednesday!  That means it's time to peek at all the busy workdesks all over the globe on Julia's Stamping Ground for WOYWW140. 

My desk was waaaaaaay to messy with DT projects so I turned around and got some inspiration on the wall.

It's what we do....Yes?

Foodie Friday friends like you take my breath away

Gosh...this week has just flown by!  Perhaps because we've been trying to play catch up from our trip or maybe life is just like that sometimes. 

I fell in love this week...with this coat dress from Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger:

Is this not divine?  Love that flirty collar and hemline.  And did you see that soft pink background?  sigh....

I used this sketch from Card Positioning Systems 226

I was in a frilly girl mood after swooning over that coat dress so this sketch took on a life of it's own.

I didn't have any black roses so I colored them with my Copic marker.  That awesome sentiment is from Rubbernecker Stamps. 

Card size - 5" x 5"

Supplies:

Cardstock - Bazzill Basics, Crate Paper, PTI

Stamps - Rubbernecker Stamps

Accessories - Spellbinders Scalloped Circle dies, seam binding (I colored it with reinker), paper roses colored with Copic marker, Martha Stewart leaf punches, string pearls

Now for a sweet treat!  My DH and I have been on a bit of a "I gained 4 lbs. on vacation and I can't eat a thing diet".  ;-)  Poor thing was craving something sweet so I tried this recipe from King Arthur flour.  Can you say to die for?  I mean, chocolate, peanut butter AND Reeses' PB cups...what's not to love?

Yay!  I put the recipe on a Google Doc so all you have to do is go to the Recipes link at the top of the page and click the link under the photo.

It's a Citrus Celebration

I know it's Thursay...or is it?  ;-)  DH had a day off yesterday (I use that term loosely...he mowed and sprayed the lawn, cleaned our big wooden front entry doors,  installed the new keyboard for the desktop (in our office, it requires yoga moves) and grilled the chicken for dinner! Is he a sweetheart or what?)  I lose track of the days when he has his mid-week day off. 

Since we live in citrus country, I couldn't resist this week's Moxie Fab  Citrus Celebration Tuesday Trigger.

Isn't this orange, lemon and lime combo refreshing and fun?  I love those polka dot cupcake liners!

Here's my interpretation....

I started with a base of PTI Lemon Tart then layered it with some DP from one of my favorite paper packs, DCWV Citrus Collection.

The bird is cut out and popped up on dimensionals.

A bit of stitching, some hand gathered ribbon, a few fun buttons, and some distressing with scissors and ink to soften the edges and done. 

Supplies:

Paper - PTI Lemon Tart, SU Orange, Neenah Solar White

DP - DCWV Citrus Collection

Ink - Versafine Orange, PTI Chai

Stamps - PTI Everyday Classics, Impression Obsession bird

Accessories - sewing machine, PTI buttons, dimensionals, ribbon, glue dots, scissors
