Today, I'm participating in a blog hop for Cath Edvalson.
Cath was the Trends Editor for Paper Crafts Magazine & creator of the Moxie Fab World Blog.
I very much enjoyed visiting her blog-- it was always jam-packed with inspiration and wonderful challenges.
However, this week, Cath announced that she will no longer have a place on the editorial team for Paper Crafts magazine. And, as a result, she had written her last Moxie Fab World post.
A bunch of people in the paper crafting community wanted to express our thanks/appreciation/well wishes to Cath in the form of a blog hop.
So, if you're following the hop, you've hopped over here from Penny Ward's blog.
I thought it would be fitting for me to create something for Cath based on something she'd posted on the Moxie Fab World. So, on Tuesday afternoon, I went to the MFW blog to scroll through it.... and I found inspiration with the last post Cath made.
I love this quote and was inspired by the alternating gold and blue lettering.
I did my own version of the alternating coloured sentiments by heat embossing them in aqua & gold.
I used Papertrey Ink's We Go Together ("For the Record", "awesome" & "just saying'") & strawberry sentiments ("sweet") and the ampersand is from Peace, Joy, Love.
"You are simply wonderful" is from Mama Elephant's Smitten stamp set.
I stamped it all on a MFT mat and layered it all over some Pink Paislee patterned paper.
I added the two buttons (the gold one was embossed with gold embossing powder to coordinate.)
The next stop on the hop is Christina Maclaren's blog.
(But, if you're lost, the blog list is posted below.)
I'm also linking this up to this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Keep It Clean & Simple.
Thanks for looking!
