January 2016 Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars January 2016 Blog Hop!****

When I was helping Joyce (my CTMH consultant, stamping guru, and friend) at one of the stamping shows last fall, Betty asked me why I didn't do Joyce's blog hop.  I said because I had never been asked and because everyone participating was a CTMH consultant and I'm not.  Well, a couple weeks ago Joyce asked me if I'd like to join the hop.  So here I am, the last stop on the hop, following a group of very talented CTMH consultants and stampers.  Actually, the hop is a circle, so it doesn't matter if you are coming from my friend Betty's blog or if you start here on my blog.  Just continue from blog to blog until you're back where you started to make sure you see all the fabulous projects.

For my project, I made an anniversary card following a tutorial for a Big Buckle Card.
It's a bit like a Bendy Foldy Card, but not exactly.





The papers are from the new CTMH Charlotte pack and the stamps from the current SOTM set, Beloved Bouquet.

If you didn't start with Joyce's blog, that's definitely where you want to go next. 


I'm going to enter this card in the following challenges:
Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge - Looky What I Got (except for the stamp on the card front, it's all new)
Cardz 4 Gals Challenge #13 - Something New 
Fab n Funky Challenge #286 - Something New 

Thanks for stopping by!

If you're thinking of making a Big Buckle Card and have a Cricut Explore, my friend Crystal has made a design space file for this card which she shares on her blog, Crafting with Crystal.

  1. Hey girlfriend - welcome to our blog hop. I'm so happy you joined us! I was thinking of you when I was working on the hop. I felt like I was working in a closet making my cards. My dining room/sCRAProom was cleaned up for Christmas and now I can't find my markers or paints! Hope you are having a great vacation.
