October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!!

• THANK YOU for stopping by to see my contribution to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!! This has been a fun set of stamps to play with and a great way to start getting me into the Christmas spirit early this year! I have used our new Jingle papers (X7115B) to create all of my artwork featuring the following CTMH colors - Black, Creme Brulee, Juniper, Olive, Tulip, and White Daisy. I hope my creations will inspire you!
• First, I have posted a 4.5" circle card inspired by Wishes-Simple Statement (p. 11). On this card the tree is colored in with Olive ink and our waterbrush. Next, I have a 2.5x3.5" card inspired by Wishes-Well Rounded (p. 27). I used the Creative Basics Jingle Collection (X5805) papers and ribbon on this card. Third, I have shared a 3x3" card inspired by Wishes-Middle Ground (p. 19) - gotta love that Twinkle Brad (z1220)! And finally, I have a 6x6" scrapbook page inspired by Reflections-Sidebar Triple (p. 42). Now I just need to choose a photo to add to complete my page! Remember, you can click on any of my photos to see the details up close!!
• Now, HOP on over to HALEY'S BLOG to see her beautiful artwork! If you get lost at any point along the way of this hop, I have a full list of all the participants in a column on the right side of my blog for you to refer back to anytime this month - enjoy!!

Another little July SOTM card!

Here's another little card I made using the July Stamp of the Month - You've Got Flair - and our colorful and fun Tinkerin' papers again! I created this 4x4 criss-cross card as a swap item to fill in for my consultant friend Penny who participates in the standing SOTM swap I host each month for CTMH consultants. I had to make 14 of these little cards for the swap. The paisley design is stamped with Twilight ink and then I colored it in with a waterbrush and Clover Meadow, Sunflower, and Twillight exclusive inks. It was a simple and fun little goodie to make - hope you like it!
