I was September's Top Chick at Heart 2 Heart CTMH Challenge Blog, so I get to be the Guest Designer for November Challenges!
Thank you H2H Team for the privilege!

Today, I have a CAS (Clean and Simple) scrapbook page for the Scrapbook Challenge...NO B&T Duos (background & texture) papers!

So, basically I just used solid color cardstock, some Ruby Chevron Washi Tape, embellishments...and, of course, stamping!
The cardstock, sequins and stamps are from the Yuletide Carol WOTG Scrapbooking Kit, and I also used Sparkles Brown & Tan Assortment.

There'll be a new challenge on Mon! Don't forget to check it out!

Have a nice weekend!

Damask Divas Blog Hop: Laughing Lola Thank You Cards

Hello,
Welcome to the Damask Divas Blog Hop!

It's been a while since I last played...but I'm back with a couple of cards using the Laughing Lola paper collection!

If you came from Hillary's blog, you are in the right place.

If you have jumped here and just discovered our Blog Hop, feel free to check the list at the Damask Divas Blog to find the complete list of Blog Hop participants. But you can just keep going and once you get here again, you're all done! =)

For these cards, I used the scraps from the WOTG (Workshop on the Go) Laughing Lola Cardmaking Kit. You can make 15 cards with this kit and you'll have some left over paper for other projects...so basically, I used the scraps "as is"!

The mini stamp is "A True Thank You" (M1029) and I added sequins for some bling!


The next stop is Jessica's Blog!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great time on our Blog Hop!

And don't forget to check out the October Promotions HERE!

Cheer Up Card

This card is CAS (clean and simple)! And easy to make! I was able to create it while my toddler was taking a nap and the baby was being entertained by Cheerios...

I used the stamp set from Laughing Lola Cardmaking Kit, some foam tape and sequins.

The colors (aqua, green and orange) were inspired by the CFC112 challenge at CAS-ual Fridays and the card sketch is from CAS(E) this Sketch! #41, but I changed the card orientation.

And since I don't have a lot of time to craft lately, I'm also entering this card in another challenge Blog, H2H CTMH Challenge Blog - Sentiment-ally Yours!

Check their blogs out!

For Always CardMaking Kit

I was playing with WOTG (Workshops on the Go) For Always CardMaking Kit last week, and here are the cards that I made. I changed the card in the middle a little bit...I added foam squares to the panels, changed the sparkles' position and added Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel to the "O's".

To purchase the kit, just click HERE or visit my CTMH  online shop: lilian.ctmh.com

I am also going to teach this class at Hobby Lobby in Vernon Hills (March 23 @ 4:30pm). We'll make these three cards plus one extra card. Class is only $10.00 (all materials included). To read more about it, click HERE. And to purchase the class, scroll up and there will be a "add to cart" button on the right side of my blog.

Weekend Projects: Toilet Paper Tube Owls

If you visit my Pinterest, you'll see a board named "For Kids". There's a pin on the board that inspired me to make these owls.
I made these with my boy N. He helped me draw the eyes and glue the pieces. =)

My owls are slightly different than the ones on the pin, though.
The top is supposed to be taped down but my tape didn't want to stay in place because of the paint...so I just cut the top off...
The eyes are 1 inch paper circles that I die cut using my Slice machine.

For the wings and beaks, I used the stamp set that came with the Workshop on the Go Chantilly Scrapbooking Kit from CTMH (Close to my Heart).

Hope you try these out with your kids!
