September Joyful Stars Blog Hop

    Thank you for stopping by for the Joyful Stars Team Blog Hop again this month.  The theme for this month is "Artist Choice".   If you are coming from Joyce Houck's blog at Joyce-joyfulcreations.blogspot.com, then you are on the right path. 
     I can not take the credit for this beautiful card.  It is pictured on page 119 of the New Fall/Winter Idea book, but I just had to recreate it for myself.  It does such a splendid job of showcasing all the new embellishments like the Rosewood Mini Medley (my personal favorite) and the Ruby Medley.
I made a few changes.  I stayed with the smoothie cardstock and I paired it with the Frosted paper, just like the talented art department at CTMH did.  They used the lacey paper from the Frosted pack that has the chevron on the other side and I chose the one with the snowflakes.  Mostly just to prove that the snowflakes could be used on a birthday card.  I bet you didn't even notice. The muted colors are so beautiful for just about anything.
    

Supply List:

Frosted Paper Pack (X7175B)
Smoothie Cardstock (X5763)
Joyful Birthday Stamp set (B1419)

Laughing Lola Layout Day 2

So I think this paper pack is amazing, because you can go wild with the prints and colors or tame it down with the gold cardstock and the opposite patterned side.  I love CTMH paper packs.  It takes the guess work out of matching patterned paper to cardstock.  Here is the second layut for my class coming up in October.  To see the first layout, click here.  If you are interested in the class, contact me at livescraplove@gmail.com and I will order you the supplies you will need.

Laughing Lola Layout Day 1

Here is the first of my 3 Laughing Lola layouts for my class in October.  I would love to know what you think.  Being a mom of 3 boys, I often have trouble with the papers that are bright and wild, but I think these turned out great.  Inspiration from Scrapbook Generation.  This is my favorite of the three, because I can definitely use it for my boys' photos.
