Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for September


This is a cute little post-it note holder.  I used the D1612 Teacher Appreciation Stamp Set and our ShinHan Touch markers to color in the owl.  I also used the markers to color the enamel stars (Z2010). 







The post-it note holder was cut with the Cricut Explore.  I received the cutting file from a fellow crafter.  I need to look up her name so I can post the file and give her the credit that she deserves.  Your next hop will be over to Andrea Sherman's blog.

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.







Your next hop is over to Stephanie.  Enjoy!
