I saw this on Summer's blog and thought I'd share too. Check out the info on these freebies here:

Moxie Fab World Challenge

"Let's Get Sassy - the Taintor-Tude Challenge"

My friend Summer (and "Words with Friends" arch rival) was the one who turned me on to the Moxie Fab World website. They run some pretty cool challenges but I've never participated in one. Until today.

I love Anne Taintor and I am all about sass (Summer/Marci, don't bother to comment on that last part.) I've really been into make vintage and retro-looking stuff lately, so I couldn't wait to work on this challenge. I might even make a couple more.

The flower is my favorite part. I used plain blue cs, a cut from Accent Essentials, stamped with a Tim Holtz stamp and Distress Ink, then a quilling tool to fold up and mangle the petals.

There are some fabulous, seriously sassy entries for this challenge on the Moxie website. Go check them out....you can't help but giggle.

This is kinda cool...

Some of you might remember a post from last fall about the rock-n-roll inspired wedding invitations I did for a couple named Ricci and Joel who found me via my esty store.

Here's the link to the previous blog post - with pictures of the invitation:

I just got an email from a wedding website called junebug weddings. They featured Ricci and Joel's wedding and posted some great pics (though my etsy store is mentioned, they didn't show any pics of the invite, which is a bummer, but still....how cool is that??)

Here's the link to the junebug weddings if you want to check it out. It looked like it was a really awesome wedding...

Hmmm...this probably means I should get some new stuff in my etsy store. It's currently very empty.... http://www.etsy.com/shop/TwoataTime

A Naughty Card (kind of)

Hubby's birthday was yesterday and I wanted to make him a card that was a little....different. So I cracked open my brand new Forever Young cartridge. I added an "It's Your Day" sentiment to the middle of the panties from the lingerie set. I cut one pair of drawers (ha!) and then 2 shadows. I glued the cuts together around the scallops, punched holes in them across the top and then scored right underneath so the top of the card flipped up. Some ribbon and stickles and I had a cute and (slightly naughty) birthday card for my well-deserving husband. Change the sentiment and you've got a great card for Valentine's Day too!

My favorite Christmas present...

...and it's not even scrapping related *gasp*....

Hubby bought me an Ipod Touch. Wow do I love this thing and all its free apps. I can download and read books for free, listen to my music, shop, email, have unlimited texting (I always get in trouble for going over the limit), check ebay, play poker and Scrabble with strangers and I can even check the cricut message board! All I need is a Wi-Fi connection. We even used it at the mall the day after Christmas to get info about other stores.

Of course I had to snaz up the hot pink skin with some vinyl cricut cuts and a silver stud!

I get to make stuff for ME now!

Now that the Christmas gifts have been made and distributed, I can finally get back to actually making scrapbook layouts! Here's my first one....it was based on a sketch.

This was Christmas 2008. Why take the girls to visit Santa at Bass Pro Shops you ask?? Well, for one it's Brian's favorite place on earth and two, it's FREE! The pic with Santa is printed off and handed to you as you walk away from Santa and his err...."live" reindeer, so when you have two terrified one-and-a-half year olds, it's the perfect price! (Brian says the reindeer in the picture are live...I say they used to be alive - it's a discussion we have every year).

Luckily for everyone involved, the visit with Santa went much better this year. I've got a pic of that too....just gotta get it scraped next!

The paper is all Stampin' Up, cardstock is Core'dinations (love it!). The tree I made from George on my Gypsy and then ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls folder. The Santa title was also designed on my Gypsy, with the script done in Opposites Attract.

Fa la la!

Yes, yes I know I'm a bit late, but I wanted to share this Christmas picture of the girls - they are now 2 1/2 (already!)

Isn't this pic cute? Looks so easy...just stand still girls, hold hands and look at the camera. Riiiggghhhttt....

And if you want to know what they asked Santa for, check out this funny video:
