Well, today is the day I say goodbye to one of the loveliest ladies ever, Cath Edvalston, and her Moxie Fab World. You should have arrived here from Stephanie Muzzulin's Blog.
I've had more trouble coming up with a card...How does one card say all the things you want to say?
Anyway, I made this--
If you've been anywhere in Blogland checking out people's cards and other papercrafts, you have no doubt been privy to Cath and all the wonderful things she and her blog Moxie Fab World have had to offer.
Whether it's your first exposure to a new (or OLD) stamp company, or whether you needed (and got) a blast of inspiration from one of the awesome pictures she posts week after week, or whether you were chomping at the bit to see if you maybe won one of the MILLIONS of giveaways she offered, or whether you were lucky enough to be named Moxie Fabber of the Week (like I was!), Cath was there for YOU.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again--
There will be a BIG hole left when Cath leaves us. Of course, she'll be popping up at folk's blogs from time to time, and I'm SURE she'll be asked to be a guest here and there, but that daily dose of all that is Moxie Fab in the world will no longer be at our fingertips.
*SIGH*
But, as selfish as I am about NOT wanting her her to go, I could not wish Cath MORE ongoing success if I tried!
I'm sure there is a NEW world of Moxie Fabbishness just waiting for Cath to put her hand to it, and boy, you better WATCH OUT when she does!
Cath, my hat's off to you, my heart's out to you, and my mind will SO often travel back to the days of Moxie Fab World.
Be well, safe, and successful, Pretty Lady!
Now, head over to Gretchen Belknap's Blog.
Thanks, Cath, for stopping by, now and always!
All Best--
Richard
your card is absolutely beautiful! I know Cath will treasure it dearly! yep, it won't be the same without our Moxie Fab inspiration every day, but she will soar! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing card!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is difficult to say everything in your heart all on a small card, but I think you have done a wonderful job. I know Cath will love it.
ReplyDeleteI love how you broke the word down to its essential components - not only good bye, but 'fare well'. Clever - and pretty too!
ReplyDeleteRichard your card and post are so very beautiful and a lovely tribute to Cath! One of the gifts I received from Cath was that I found your blog when you were named Moxie Fabber Of The Week and have been enjoying your posts ever since! I wish the very best for Cath too! I think she is an amazing force in the crafting world and look forward to seeing what her future holds! She will SOAR!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's one bomb-diggity card Mr. Cardmaker. And I love your wonderful words too.
ReplyDeletegreat card Richard! She will love this!! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and words, Richard!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card for Cath...
ReplyDeleteLove your card :)
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWonderful creation Richard.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card and wonderful tribute to Cath, Richard! I love how you combined all those pretty elements. Moxie Fab for sure :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a touching post, Richard! And do you know that patterned paper is my most favorite EVER?! I had to talk myself out of using it again last night. It just goes with everything! The perfect dark, patterned, but not too patterned paper ever made. It shows off your sentiment so well here. Wonderful card : )
ReplyDeleteloved your post and the beautiful card! so happy to have found your blog!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card and post, Richard!
ReplyDeleteRichard, your card is gorgeous! I love how the little bunch of embellishments mirror the colours of the sentiment. And that little bit of silver glitter? I love it! Beautiful words, beautiful card. I'm sure Cath will appreciate both.
ReplyDeleteExcellent tribute creation for Cath! And I definitely agree with your written tribute as well!

I think you sure did say it all Richard!!!! And the card absolutely captures your heartfelt love and good wishes for Cath!! She is one in a million and will be missed....but you're right....I just know we'll see her shining brightly wherever she goes!!
ReplyDeleteYou have expressed so fabulously with your card and post, Richard! I love that surprising elements on the card--truly beautiful! I am so glad that you were the Moxie Fabber that one time because that's when I found you and your wonderful blog! Craft on, my friend! Thanks so much for being part of this epic blog hop!
ReplyDeletefabulous card Richard
ReplyDeleteAmazing. That card really captures the essence of Cath, does it not?
ReplyDeleteThis is a truly wonderful card Richard!! So fun and trendy and each element so perfectly in place! Cath will love it! This is my first visit to your blog - I will have to visit again if this is what I can expect to find! :-) Thanks so much for being a part of this event with us!
ReplyDeleteOh I really love this! All those little bits peeking out are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat design
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tribute to Cath! Your card is perfectly trendy and moxie fab... I know she'll love it. You have a really fun blog!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE your card! Love your style! And is it sad that I know exactly which collection that pattern paper is from? Heheheh..
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous card, Richard! I adore the patterned paper die cut sentiment. Seriously, how could you NOT feel the love with this?! :0)
ReplyDeleteThis card ROCKS, Mr. Richard!!! LURVE everything about this AWESOME card!! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post, and adore this card! What a fabulous combination of elements, colours, papers... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Richard. It's a weird feeling knowing she's leaving. I'm sure now with her new puppy she's got plenty to occupy her, but still....daily reads without Cath is like a stem without a flower or rainbow with only 2 colors or hopscotch without numbers or a tootsie roll pop with no center.... well, you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteYour card to her is just so special and heartfelt. I'm so happy to see you on this hop :)
Oh, Richard! Such a lovely card and equally lovely words. She will certainly be missed, won't she? I loved the way you mixed the bright and the dark. So cool! Hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteFab card, Richard! I love the sentiment cut from patterned paper! And your beautiful tribute to Cath.
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to pay tribute to Cath!
ReplyDeleteLovely and heartfelt post and moxie fab card, Richard! (I mean, Mr. Cardmaker!) Cath will be so moved by both. Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteRichard I was wondering what you would do, great card for Cath!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the sentiment you chose, Richard - and how you've written so well about the phenomenon that is Cath :)
ReplyDeleteI like your little tucked elements on the side! So cute!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Richard. Love your card with the dark background, colourful sentiment and coordinating embellies.
ReplyDeleteLove this card, Richard! What a wonderful tribute. I remember when you were Moxie Fabber of the Week - not because you were the one and only male Moxie Fabber (how fab is that?). My reason to remember you is that YOU are from MICHIGAN! YES! Me, too.
ReplyDeletePerfectly Moxie Fabulous card Richard :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this card!
ReplyDeleteFab card- love the coloured sentiment. thanks so much for joining with the blog hop- and for being the one and only male. Thankfully you weren't a 'token' one!! x
ReplyDeleteMy dearest Richard,
ReplyDeleteThank you for what is undoubtedly my favorite Richard Breaks card ever. And to think it was created with little ol' me in mind? Well, I am absolutely honored, my friend.
Thank you, also, for the exceedingly kind words you said about me and the Moxie Fab World. I have been inspired by you since the first day I became aware of you and am *so glad* that I have been lucky enough to get to know you as well as I have. You are a true gem, and I am so glad that we are friends.
Take care, and I'll be stopping by from time to time, I promise. Hugs and loves to you, my ever moxie fab friend! :)
What a sweet post, Richard. And your card…..so beautiful!!
ReplyDeletelove the elements peeking out behind the panel! such a beautiful card!
