August Stamp of the Month~~"Wicked"

Welcome to July's Blog Hop!

We will be featuring July's SOTM, which is "Wicked," a set of 9 stamps. If you have come here from Elizabeth Mindemann'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 62 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

The "Wicked" SOTM is perfectley boolicious for all your Halloween projects.  From the devilishly cute kitty to the striking stockings on the witch....frightingly fun!

I used:

Barn Red Cardstock

Sunset Cardstock

Sunny Yellow Cardstock

Archival Black Ink

Now "Hop" on over to Lisa's Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the July SOTM is only available until July 31st!

I want to make sure to let everyone know about the changes to the SOTM Program.  We used to give a percentage off of the set, depending on how much you spent.

To make things easier, there will be no more percentages to figure out...YAY!  Instead, we are going with a much simpler formula.  You spend $50, you get the stamp for $5, period...done...finale! EASY.  Now to encourage everyone to try out this new system, for August, we will be giving you a 2nd stamp set FREE!  It is a cute little alphabet set, that will come in SOOO handy.  I know the 4-H kids I work with will love this new set, great for journaling in your scrapbook pages, as well as personalizing cards.  So call me with an order 570-396-3080, or click here to order yours today!

Cricut Comes To Close To My Heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!

I have always loved my Cricut, And this is just one more reason to love it more!!!  To be able to cut something out, then stamp on it instead of stamping it and the cutting it out with scissors will be so much EASIER!!!  One more reason to LOVE CTMH!!!!  I am soo excited.  I got my new catalogs this morning, and so some of the other wonderful things to make with this new cartridge, and I get three  NEW stampsets as well, that are MADE to go with the cartridge!!  Can you tell I'm super excited!!!  It will be available on August 1, for everyone to order.  Make sure to get yours as well!!!

Heart 2 Heart Challenge 7/4/11

This is the picture that was used to inspire us on the H2H Challenge this week.

I saw the block of three squares, and thought of this layout that I just completed. It has beautiful feathers though instead of flowers.

I used the Magnifique paper pack and stickers for the title.  I love the beautiful peacock in the Circle of Love Stamp set.  It always looks so gorgeous with the simple rock-n-roll technique.  I did add some brads and flowers that came with the WOTG, and the peacock I thought needed a little extra glamour, so he got the Mocha Opaques--just the right touch.

So why don't you take a quick break and see where your creativity takes you to enter the challenge...make sure you leave a note telling what you created.
