My Comfort & Joy scrapbooking workshop kit pages!

Having finished up these complete (WITH PHOTOS!!) “Comfort and Joy” scrapbooking workshop pages this week makes me feel so happy and accomplished. I’m so proud of how beautifully they came together. The Stickles Solar Flare Glitter Gel really pops and makes them that much more special! I also added two 4x6 flip flaps on the last page so I could include a total of SIX photos on a single page...how much do we LOVE our flip flaps?!! ❤️ #ctmhflipflaps #sticklesglittergel #sticklesranger #stencilart #sponging #mixedmedia #ctmhscrapbookingworkshop #ctmhcomfortandjoy 🎄

Today I'm sharing the standard-size anniversary card

I made for my husband. I'm a tad early, lol. Jose and I will

be celebrating 26 years of married life on December 17th!

When I saw this stamp set, I immediately knew that it

would be perfect for making our anniversary card this year.

Back in 1994, we chose Red and Black for our wedding

colors, so I also chose to use (similar colors)...

using the NEW Comfort and Joy paper packet (X7261S)

with our NEW Wood Grain papers (X8017)

that I absolutely LOVE so so much!!

I also wanted to show you that you really can use

this Christmas-themed paper collection in a

NON-Christmas-y way!!

My stamping was done with Archival Black ink, and the

coloring done with (NEW Deep Blends) Yellow Green and

Vintage Blue TriBlend markers from Spectrum Noir.

I also used a clear Versamark ink pad with white embossing

powder to heat emboss "Happy Anniversary" on Scarlet

cardstock. Can you see how I also used fussy cutting and

paper-piecing technique to make my largest flowers

"pop" using the Scarlet red patterned paper? Finally,

I embellished with (also a NEW favorite!) White

Flower Sequins (Z3872) with small Black Dots

used for their centers (Z3314).
