Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger



I loved this so much I just had to play along.  When I first started in paper crafts this was my first choice of color family BOLD and BRIGHT.  You know how things go and have to switch up every now and again.  I go more for the neutral tones these days.

I woke up with an idea then I realized I sold this stamp set "Sweet Treats" from Stampin' Up! UGH!   If I could kick myself I would.  Note to self...this is why you hang on to everything you are going to need it!
So I perused through the Cricut cartridges and this cone was the closest match to my light bulb moment.

Card one...

Card two.  Yes that is hand beaded sprinkles.  I LOVE THIS ONE;)
