Holly Jolly Elf Layout for Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars November Blog Hop.  Thanks for joining us today.  If you have come from Krista's Blog, then you are on the right track.  We have a brand new idea book full of Holiday products and ideas.  One product in particular, is a MUST HAVE in my opinion.  The Holly Jolly Cardmaking Workshop Kit G1191 has an adorable elf stamp and thin cuts along with some sentiments, a present, sign and holly leaf.  The kit is designed to create 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs.

I made the cards and then decided to use the elf on a scrapbook page.

To create this layout, I also purchased X7250S the Holly Jolly Paper Packet and Sticker Sheet.  I also used the fabulous new Close to my Heart exclusive Cricut Cartridge, 

Complete Creativity. 

This digital cartridge includes all the pieces you need to create fabulous cards and scrapbook pages for a variety of themes and occasions, including Christmas, Halloween, outdoors, and more!  There are pre-designed scrapbook pages but you can detach the images and use them for any type of project.  I used the merry, merry, merry and the Christmas banner from the cartridge on my layout.

Here is a close up view of the elf - he is holding the sign stamped with the year.  Isn't he so cute?  The presents were fussy cut from the printed paper and some of them use mounting tape for dimension.  I also used the green and diamond Stickles for some shimmer.

Thanks so much for joining us today.  Now it is time to hop on over to Marie Flayer's blog to see her crafty creation!
