Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for August
I signed up to participate in a CTMH swap with 10 other consultants. As soon as I returned from my Thirty-One convention in Ohio, I needed to get moving with 10 of each - 2 page layout, 3x3 card, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card, and a 3D item. August is also our local 4-H fair and there was so much to do. The task I dislike the most is drawing blood from all our chickens (the bantams have the smallest veins!). I had to come up with some pretty easy designs to make sure I could get them completed and mailed out in time. These are some of the items I created for the swap using our new Scaredy Cat paper:

This card features the August Stamp of the Month (I absolutely love this stamp set!), our black shimmer trim, and the black enamel stars.

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for June
Due to time constraints I decided to post the card I designed for the Spring Card Extravaganza. The Skylark paper makes it so easy to create cards and scrapbook layouts. If you look at this card you might think that I stamped the bird on the paper but in reality it is the upper left portion of one of the papers. The embellishments that I added were the Bronze shimmer trim, the eye of the bird and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment. For the 2 green layers I used our Sweet Leaf card stock and the final layer is simply the opposite side of the Skylark paper. Do not fear that any portion of the remaining Skylark paper will go to waste. I will be posting pictures of my other projects using the "scraps".
Your next hop is over to Crystal. I have seen some of what she has been up to and I know you will like it. Enjoy your hops!

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Bog Hop for May
Here is a layout I just created using the Ariana paper packet and inspired by a layout from "Make it from Your Heart" Volume 2. The bows are from the Ariana Assortment (Z3002). The stamp was from the Ariana Scrapbooking Workshop on the go. It doesn't feel complete yet so I will revisit it tomorrow when I am fresh.

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Bog Hop for April
Timberline Father's Day card with embossing
Once again I created a card with our Timberline paper. Joyce shared with me a technique where you emboss some cardstock and then run the matching ink pad over the embossed surface. I liked it so much I just had to try it out. I am in the midst of prepping for the Scrapbook Expo in Oaks this weekend (come see me if you are there!) so I had just a little time to put a card together.
The vertical strip in the back is a piece of chocolate card stock embossed with our CTMH embossing folder and then inked with a Chocolate Ink pad. Just think of the possibilities if you were to mix and match card stock and ink pads.
The frame around "Happy Father's Day" is from our Irresitables chipboard and inked with a dauber in Chocolate. I used our scalloped circle punch and it fit nicely under the Irresistables frame.
Your next hop is over to Krista. Enjoy!
