Welcome to the Joyful Stars blog hop for July!


Apologies to all!  I truly thought I would have some artwork for you this month but I can't show you any sneak peeks from Convention and I have been running ever since I returned.

The one thing I CAN share from convention is a cute little guy I found.




That's right!  Sticky Boy!!!!  I had a nagging in my head to go look in a particular spot.  As I wandered over I noticed another consultant leaving (she didn't find a Sticky Boy).  I thought "DARN! there is no Sticky Boy there" but I wandered over anyway and lo and behold the other consultant missed him.  I think it was meant to be that he came home to PA with me.

Your next hop is over to Stephanie Brown to see what she has for us this month,

Welcome to the Joyful Stars blog hop for June!


Hi Everyone!  

I wanted to share two cards that I made.  

This first card is made using the paper pack called Urban.  I really love this paper and will miss it when it retires in August.  The banner and the gears are both cut with CTMH Cricut cartridges.  





This second card is made using the Calypso paper - another one of my favorites that is retiring in August.  


Your next hop is to Donna Ackley Long.  Let's all see what she is sharing with us this month.

Welcome to the Joyful Stars blog hop for April!

I was working on a layered card for this blog hop but I am still tweaking it so this month you will see a very quick and simple gift card that I created a couple of weeks ago.





Your next hop is over to Helen's Blog  to see what she has created to share.

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for February


Valentine's Day is fast approaching so I created a card for the occasion.  This is a 6x6 card using  La Vie En Rose paper.



In hindsight I think I will cut some hearts with the Cricut slightly larger than the dove candies and adhere them between the card and the candies so the card still looks complete once your beloved eats the candy.  The candy is attached with our Bonding Memories glue.  If you let the glue dry before you add the candy it is repositionable.








Stamp set used - C1607 Someone Special

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for January







For this month I created a simple black and white card using the January Stamp of the Month and a scrap left over from the La Vie En Rose paper packet.  The inspiration for this card came directly from an image on Pinterest.






















I cut the black base at 6.5 x 5.5 inches and scored along the long side at 4.25 so the finished card is a typical A2 card (5.5 x 4.25).  The smaller black piece is 3.5 x 2.25 inches.  The white attached to the base is 5.25 x 4.  The smaller white piece is 3.25 x 2.
