This month we have over 60 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! Have fun and enjoy!

I am having so much fun creating with this stamp set! I created an "American Celebration" page as well as a completely different themed page using the same stamp set!  This set is a wonderful compliment to the the Token Alpha Stamp, I stamped (using the second generation technique) one of the images right on top of the Alphabet. Click on any of my images to view them larger.

Supplies used to create this two page layout: July SOTM, Token Alphabet Stamp Set, Cranberry Ink, Outdoor Denim Ink, Fanfare Level 2 Assortment, CTMH Papers: Fanfare, Magnifique, Animal Cookies

Now hop on over to Tamra's Blog to see what she has created. Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

Up For a Challenge? & SOTM Sneak Peek

Here's a SNEAK PEEK of the layout I created using July's Stamp of the Month (SOTM). 

My inspiration for this layout came from my one my favorite scrapbook blogs to stalk (I mean read on a daily basis!), Susan Weinroth.  She came up with A STASH-BUSTER challenge...to use 10 OR MORE patterned papers in a single layout!  Anyone up for a challenge?  I had so much fun with this challenge...lately my theme has been to scrap my stash so this challenge was just the thing for me!  I used 13, yes THIRTEEN, patterned papers in my layout!  My layout is a two-page layout but for this challenge I am using only the left side of the layout "10 Months."  If you decide to join in on this challenge, send me an email with your pictures. I would love to see them!  Now, you will have to wait until July 1st to see the full layouts!! 

Stay Tuned!

Happy Scrapping, my friends!
