June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  I am very excited to be joining in for the first time!  We will be featuring June's SOTM, Jubilation, a set of 24 stamps!  If you have come here from Nancy's Blog, you are on the right path!  The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultants here.

This month we have over 50 Close to My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs.  So be sure to check out all of their inspiring work.  This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move on to the next one!  I am just loving this stamp set, it is so versatile!  I created two scrapbook layouts, you can click on any of the photos to view them larger.  For the first layout, Bright Eyes, I created scalloped embellishments using the sun and dove stamp; first I stamped the image, punched it out with the 1 1/4 circle punch and mounted it with foam tape on some scraps that I punched with the scallop punch.  I used the Token Alphabet stamp set to create the title.

Time is running out scrappin' & stampin' friends!

 This is a gorgeous layout that I created at the CTMH Leadershare event.  The reason I am sharing today is I wanted to show you that when I got home instead of using embroidery floss to hand stitch around the edges on both layouts I used a stamp from the You & Me Kit to create the faux stitching!  Time is running out for you to get this kit; there are only 4 days left!! So act fast, hop on over to my site or contact me to get the gorgeous kit and this D-Size stamp set.

Here is a close up of the stamp set included; I used the hash-mark stamp on the right to create the faux stitching on my pages! LOVE!

Blissful Butterflies

The first impression of the Bliss paper pack is, "Wow that would go great with my wedding photos!"  Yes, it sure will.  I have a friend getting married in just a few short months and she is not only using Bliss for her wedding album but to back her invitations and reply cards; how creative!?  However, I wanted to show that these gorgeous papers are versatile and could be used for other layouts, not just weddings.  The Boston Museum of Science has this really neat Butterfly Garden where there are free flying butterflies that overlooks the Charles River.  Olivia just loved watching the butterflies flying around and wanted so badly to touch and hold these beautiful butteflies!  After seeing the photos, I knew I had the perfect papers to go with them! 

Left side of the layout.  Products used; Bliss L2 Paper Pack, Bliss Assortment, Kraft Borders, Mocha Opagues, April SOTM

I also used the Kraft Borders again (I LOVE them!) and added the Mocha Opaques to embellish them (this was a layout that was promised over a month ago!!) I also used the April SOTM and the stamp set that comes with the You & Me kit!! Check it out. I know that the April SOTM is no longer available BUT I have a few extras that you can purchase from me while they last!
