Simply Fundamental Scrapbooking Layout 2

This holiday weekend I've been working on scrapbooking some highlights of 2015 using Close To My Heart's Simply Fundamental Scrapbooking workshop. This is a sepcial for the month of November so grab the workshop direction and supplies before November is over!

These are pictures from August 2015. I went on a family vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC. One night we went to Barefoot Landing and the T.I.G.E.R.S. Preservation Stations. It was so cool! I have some journaling to add, but this layout is just about finished!

These are pictures from January 2, 2015. I went to Winterthur to see the costumes of Downton Abbey exhibit and Holiday tour of the mansion. It was an awesome trip to start the year! I just need to add some journaling and this layout is done!

Joyful Stars November 2015 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars November 2015 Blog Hop! This hop is a circle, so it doesn't matter if you are coming from Krista's blog or if you start here on my blog. Just continue around until you're back to the blog that you started on to make sure you see all the fabulous projects.

I have a scrapbook layout to share this month. I'm working on vacation pictures, and I love the ability to make my own color combination with Close To My Heart's Fundamentals Line. I used Sunset and Honey paper from the Adventure Collection and embellishments from the Pomegranate Assortment. I used leftover Eggplant paper from the Sangria paper packet too. This is one of the five layouts from this month's Simply Fundamental Scrapbook Workshop. Grab the workshop even if you aren't purchasing this month's special, because it will work with any Close To My Heart supplies you already have too. Although I do think this month's campaign Simply Fundamental Scrapbooking  is pretty awesome, and I'm eagerly awaiting my goodies to arrive this week!

I did use some retired product (Stickease sticker and Picture My Life card) and wanted to remind you to keep an eye out on the While Supplies Last. You can find some summer themed cards and embellishments there if you are like me and still working on that season!

Thanks for hopping along this month. Your next stop is Nancy's blog. Just in case you get lost or experience a technical difficulty, you might want to keep Joyce's blog open in a separate tab, as she has a full list of participants.

July Special

This adorable card was made by Close To My Heart's Art Department and features a Hostess Rewards Stamp. Normally the ONLY way to get this stamp is to host a qualifying gathering, but this month there is another way to earn this stamp!

During the month of July, when you purchase $25 in current, retail priced stamps, you qualify to receive either the July Stamp of the Month FREE or any one of the Hostess Rewards stamp sets featured in Annual Inspirations 2014–2015 or Seasonal Expressions 2 for only $5!

Taste of Summer Cards

Today is the last day to grab the Taste of Summer paper pack and stamp set! Here are some cards I made using two sheets of paper plus cardstock and kraft paper.

I used the same paper combination but a different stamp set on the next card. It's a preview of June's Stamp of the Month.
