MoxiFab Tuesday Trigger

Hello everyone!

First of all, Mircea is doing great! We had our two-week visit last week and I was watching the scale with fear, as I wasn't sure if I was feeding him enough...This was only one of my "fears". My husband rolls his eyes, lovingly I might add, every time I start a conversation with "I'm worried about...".   He exceeded his birth weight by 3 ounces, so the doctor said he was doing great, getting enough to eat. 

We haven't gone out farther than a little walk around the block. I wonder if it's safe to take him out in the world yet. Don't ask my husband, he even suggested we buy some netting for the stroller, so no birds of prey can get to him...It's beautiful Spring outside (unusual weather for southern Texas; last year at this time it was already scorching hot), so we have to go out for a picnic or something...

I'm catching up with some FUN challenges over at MoxiFab World.  The first one I tried my hand at was this week's Tuesday Trigger. 

Have you even seen a picture and instantly you knew how it inspires you? I had this with this card. Once I saw the Tuesday Trigger, I knew exactly what I wanted to create.

Tuesday Trigger again!

Hello everyone!

It's Tuesday Trigger time again! I can't say I've been "inspired" by the picture, it was more of "analyzing it" and trying to incorporate different elements in my card: the pattern on the napkin, the overall vintage look, the shade of blue, the golden pumpkin...Here I am again with the same ol' same pumpkin stamps, the only ones that I have. :-) I was excited to find in my paper stash one that had fabric (in a kind of vintage cream) on one side! 

Recipe for {Thankful for you} card   51/4 x 4 in

~ Cardstock: PTI {Aqua Mist, Vintage Cream};

~ Stamp: PTI {Fall Elegance};

~ Ink: Stampabilities' {Brown}, Making Memories {Gold};

~ Embossing Powder: PTI {Filigree Gold};

~ Rhinestones: KAISERscrapbook. 

I almot lost a stamp today. One of the little stems of the pumpkin from PTI' {Fall Elegance}. My heart went down the drain together with it, because this is the third little stamp I thought I lost in the sink while cleaning it. James came to my rescue! He opened the bottom of the pipe under the sink (sorry for not knowing the professional term for it :-) and saved my little stamp. I was SO happy! I couldn't have taken the thought of losing yet another one. He gave me a real savvy advice: to close the drainage while I clean stamps! :-) Why didn't I think of that?! 

One of my dearest friends, Alyene, is coming this weekend to visit me again. We have tickets to MercyMe concert on Friday night. On Saturday we're going to the Romanian Fall Festival in Houston. I can almost smell the traditional food and almost hear the ethnic Romanian music. I can't wait!  

I'll be gone from the blogging world over the weekend, but I'll return next week! 

Wishing you (in advance) a great weekend,

This week's Tuesday Trigger

The inspiration for this week's Tuesday Trigger {Moxi Fab World} is a picture with such soft colors, with the perfect touch of light. Kimberly Crawford proved with a gorgeous card that neutral shades that really can stand out. Actually, I was inspired by her card, inspired by the picture :-)
