November Joyful Stars Blog Hop with You Are Here Cricut Cartridge

Welcome back to another Joyful Stars Blog Hop! We are a group of Close to My Heart consultants who share something each month on the 9th and at 9PM EST. If you are coming from Joyce Hauck's blog you are on the right track. (The complete lineup is also on Joyce's blog in case you get lost.) Have fun being inspired!  

My cards were made with the latest Close to My Heart cricut cartridge called "You Are Here".    I also used the Artbooking cartridge to cut the Eggplant cardstock frame.  The background panel is Flaxen cardstock and the cut image is New England Ivy cardstock.  The greeting is from the Thoughtful Bird stamp set.  Sponge Daubers were used to color the White Daisy cardstock with Cranberry, Sorbet, Eggplant, Sweet Leaf and Tangerine inks.

This card was easy enough to make so I made a second one and colored the fruits in with Shin Han Touch Markers--Carmine, Marigold, Lavender, Leaf Green and Golden Yellow.  I created this in Design Space--here is the file if you would like to replicate it.

Which coloring method do you like better?

Now it's time to hop on over to Betty Locco's blog. I'm sure you'll be inspired by what she shares.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Archiscraps--Use Fruit 

     Sparkles Forum Challenges--Autumn Colors

     Little Red Wagon--Harvest Time

     Wonderful Wednesdays--Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
