Joyful Stars November Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars November Blog Hop.  It is a circular hop so you can start anywhere and when you get back to the first one you saw, you will know you have seen them all.  If you have arrived from Marie's Blog, then you are on the right track.  If you get lost along the way, you can find a complete list of participants on Joyce's Blog. 

Close To My Heart has introduced a fabulous new campaign called Happy, Happy Christmas.    During November, save over 10% off the retail value when you purchase one of the 12″ × 12″ album bundles (CC1179 and CC1180) for only $69.95 each! This bundle includes an exclusive guide to walk you through the steps of assembling five beautiful 2-page layouts. Add on additional items to make additional projects with your leftover materials, too!

There are brand new Christmas themed Picture My Life Cards included in the bundle too.  After making the projects, there are 13 leftover  4 x 6 cards and 19 leftover 2 x 3 cards.  You can also use them to make traditional Picture My Life layouts.  They are super cute and I could not resist using some of the leftovers for some quick and easy Christmas cards. 
The first card had a center journaling spot.  I cut out the center circle from the card with a circle cutter and then cut smaller circle using a stitched die and stamped the wreath.

 The second card uses the new Rustic Home Fundamentals Kraft paper with mini dots.

Here is a close up of the stocking detail.  There is Red Glitter Trim on the stocking cuff.  

You can check out the details for the Happy, Happy Christmas promotion my website HERE. You can even download the project guide too!
