July SOTM Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring July's SOTM, which is American Celebration. If you have come here from Gina Brandstetter’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 63 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!



Summer is here! I had so much fun with this card. The Fanfare paper packet was just perfect for a 4th of July card. I also used Liquid Glass for the first time, to see what my fellow consultants have been raving about. This stuff is amazing! Painted over the flat stamped firework, it really makes the firework POP!

Products Used:
July 2011 Stamp Of The Month
Fanfare level 2 Paper Packet
Pacifica Cardstock
Dutch Blue Ink Pad
Holiday Red Ink Pad
White Ribbon
Liquid Glass

Now "Hop" on over to Jean McNulty'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!

Until next time, Happy Stamping!

Studio J

So, I tried out Studio J tonight, and I was AMAZED at how easy it is to create a beautiful layout! I decided to scrap some pictures from my brother-in-law Phill’s wedding. The pictures were all taken by Tali Mindek – an amazing photographer in Baltimore. Check her out at http://www.facebook.com/ArtByTali.

Here are my layouts!
