Joyful Stars November Blog Hop

Well...it's time for another blog hop. As always, I'm excited to see what this group of talented consultants have created for you this month. The hop is a circle, so it doesn't matter if you are coming from Betty's blog or if you start here on my blog. Just continue around until you get back to the blog you started on to make sure you see all of the wonderful artwork!

I've had a few My Creations Pennant Frames hanging around my scrap room for a while now, but never got around to making one. I think it was mainly because I wasn't sure how or where I would use one. When CTMH came out with the Chalk It Up paper pack, I had visions of all kinds of things I could use it for in my third grade classroom. I decided to combine the two items and make something to hang in the window to my classroom for people to see as they enter from the hallway. The complements on the inside are popped with foam tape. I also used black glitter paper instead of shimmer trim. When I went to use the black shimmer trim, my roll was empty. If you'd click a closer look, just click on each photo!

Roomie Gifts (Received)

As promised, here is my post sharing the gifts I received at CTMH Leadershare this weekend. We all had a great time and I was so excited to receive these amazing projects.

First, is the gift I was given by Stephanie Brown from Connecticut. She made this wonderful 12x12 shadow box frame for me using the Pemberley paper packet. The photo was from Convention last year in Anaheim, California. I wish you could see the dimension in this photo. Everything is layered and many of the items literally "pop" off the page. The yellows and blues match my scrap room perfectly, and I already have a place of honor picked out for it to hang!

I also have a picture of the frame Stephanie made for Crystal. It's just too nice to not share, even though it wasn't my gift!

Finally, this is the gift that was given to me by Crystal. She used one of the CTMH My Creations Boxes and the Dotty for You Paper Pack. The felt flower on the front was cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and the deep cut blade. She also made each of us a 3-D pin, which she placed on the package. Unfortunately, I took the picture after I took it out of the packaging. The box is filled with Country Apple Bath and Body products. All-in-all another wonderful gift!

I am so blessed to have such talented and generous friends in my life! Thank you both for these gifts that I will cherish forever!!! Love you both!
