Tuesday Trigger - Autumn Woods

   Time for another Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I really liked this challenge because I got to use some of the things I won recently from American Crafts' Amy Tangerine collection through Paper Crafts magazine. Here's this Tuesday's trigger.

Here is my take.

   Honestly, this trigger reminded me of a potholder. Yes, I know that's kind of weird, but I used to make these woven potholders when I was a little girl. I decided to use that weaving technique to make a panel for the front of my card.

   I picked papers that reminded me of Fall and cut them in 1/2" strips and wove them together. The leaves and the chipboard letters were in the package I won from American Crafts. I thought they added a nice touch and the colors were perfect for this challenge.

Textured to Perfection Challenge

   I created this card for the Textured to Perfection Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. Cath challenged us to make a project that incorporated texture in an inventive way.

   For my texture, I used real birch bark that I peeled myself off one of my birch trees on my homestead in the Alaskan wilderness. I brought some of it to Texas with me and am using some of it on this card. Then, I stamped birch leaves in the colors of autumn with Martha Stewart's leaf stamp.
   Here's a link if you want to create something for the challenge.
