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!

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for March

This month I am focusing on our Timberline paper and Workshop on the Go. My husband and son love to fish, hike, and bike so this paper packet is great for scrapping their adventures. One thing that I realized while creating these pages was that I love the look of the irresistables. There is one 1/2 circle on the right page of the first layout and several on the second layout.

I completed both 2 page layouts from the Workshop on the Go and then created a Father;s day card with some of the remaining scraps.

Here is the first 2 page layout:

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for February!

Here is a little Birthday card that I created for a card swap. I typically leave the inside blank for a card swap. I used the our Artiste Cricut cartridge (page 70 - Accent 2) to cut the cloud out of the card base and then also slightly smaller out of White Daisy. I inked the edges of the white cloud with Crystal Blue ink. I used our 3 dimensional tape on both the balloon and the cloud to make them pop.
