09/01 It's September!

Where did the summer go? I have been back to school for a week now and I look forward to fall - my favorite season of all! But September does hold lots of new and exciting ideas from Close to My Heart. If you have come from Sheila's blog you are on the right track! Aren't all of the designs this month absolutely stunning? So many CTMH consultants have joined this SOM blog hop and you will busy checking out all of the new fabulous artwork.

The new Idea Book goes live on September 1st (today) on my website AND the new Stamp of the Month is revealed. This month's stamp set is D1375 Treasures - an absolutely beautiful work of art!




I just love the new circle cards in the Wishes book - this card is the Merry-Go-Round design found on pg. 30. The paper is the new X7117 Grace paper pack and the envelope is a paper CD sleeve from Staples. I love the Cricut and the Design Studio because I cut out all of my cards and sleeve cover with the Wild Card cartridge - it was so easy!

Colors include Barn Red, Cocoa, Honey and Twilight. Cocoa organdy ribbon accents the envelope and I stamped the design with our Stazon ink in Timber Brown.

Take a look at all of this fabulous artwork from the CTMH consultants all over the US! I am swapping with a very artistic bunch of ladies!



Now hop on over to Wendy's blog to see more creative artwork using this stamp set! If you get lost while hopping click on these links and check out their work!

Here is a list of blog hop participants for our SOTM Blog Hop in case you get lost along the way - have fun hopping!

08/09 GO Green Challenge



This month's Go Green challenge on the Scrapbooking and Crafting Friends site was to use a soda can tab. Well since I buy soda in Recycle bottles, I found a new use for the tab on my Jenny Beef Chili container! Perfect for my birthday card for a friend who is turning 40! She is the "Recycle Queen" at school and thought this was a perfect card for her! By the way - she loved it! She also got a small notebook made from recycled tires AND a CD case made from recycled materials.

Supplies:
Club Scrap: Great Outdoors paper and ribbon
Font: Impact
Cricut: Cutting Up cartridges (Re)
CTMH Stamps and Markers: D1365 True Happiness, Cocoa, Olive and Topiary markers


Enjoy! and Happy Birthday again Kathy!

01/08 August SOM Blog Hop

Welcome to the August SOM Blog Hop. I hoped you have arrived from Misty's blog - if you did you are on the right track. This month we have over 60 participants so you may get lost along the way but DO not worry. Head back to Jena's blog here and her blog will help you get right back on track!

This month's stamp set D1352 It's Your Day is a must have stamp set because you will always need a birthday card to send! Check out the card I created using the X7112 Animal Cookies paper pack and the Z1162 Foam Die -Cuts Numbers. Isn't it perfect for a basic birthday card? Add the number or numbers for a truly memorable birthday or leave it plain! The card design is from our WIshes Card Confidence Program and is called Sentimental Wave found on pg. 118.



This stamp set is so versatile that you can also use it on your birthday layouts. I finally started AND finished Robbie's 3rd birthday party - what a hoot - only 23 years later!


But you can see how easily this stamp set adapts to a layout as well as a card! Notice how I turned the bow accent into a star accent by stamping it upside down to the original stamped image! With our acrylic stamp sets it is SOO easy to line up the stamps and create another design. You can order the stamp set on my website www.SweetAline.myctmh.com from August 1-31st

Now hop on over to Lori's blog and see what birthday treat she has waiting for you! When is your birthday? Happy Birthday from me!
