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!
