Thanks for joining me in another round of the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This month we are featuring February's Piece of Cake A set of 10 stamps that are amazing! You will see many different creations from the fabulous consultants in this blog hop! This stamp set features CAKES, cupcakes, treats and sentiments! This set is perfect for Birthday Cards and those "sweet" pictures you need to scrapbook! For our hop today, I have created two birthday cards. I used up some older card scraps. What I love best about this stamp set is that it goes with any colors, any paper. I love that I can color in the little cakes and cupcakes to make them match. I used my markers and my waterbrush and ink pads to color in all the images. I also used some stickles to give them that extra pop!

I clearly do NOT have a favorite paper pack from the Spring 2010 Idea Book because so far I LOOOOOVE them all! I got my Veranda kit a couple weeks ago after seeing THIS layout by Lisa Stenz and finding the perfect picture to use! Supplies: Veranda Level 2 Veranda Creative Basics Cocoa Ink Just blooms: Big Pinks Just blooms: Spring Blossom Felicity Stamp set Friendship Alphabet Cocoa Ribbon Pewter Designer Brads In her post Lisa says that she wanted to show her non-scrapbookers that scrapbook pages could be framed as artwork. I totally agree! This layout is definitely frame-worthy! I have a few pages framed in my home!

The National Papercrafting Special Felicity is such a versitile kit! I saw these cards done by a fellow consultant Christine . I just HAD to copy them! I think they are so cool! The argyle rocks and they are so masculine! I have not stamped a sentiment yet, but I really could do anything. They were a quick and easy card to create (copy).

I looooved my black white and red background, but the red in the middle was starting to bug me :( So now its waaaaaay white..... I'm going to live with this for a while! If you're cool enough to have a wide screen (unlike me for now) you'll see the design. If you're like me with an old school screen, you don't get much....

I'm doing a Valentine's Day Card Class next Monday :) Here are the three cards we'll be creating! This card was lifted from Vicki- mine is almost identical to hers!

The new year brought me an extra week of vacation! I had hoped to scrapbook 3 full days of my vacation and of course that did not happen, but I was able to get quite a few pages done! I'm sharing my favorites with you :) Even thought I'm a CTMH consultant, I still use products from everywhere!!!!! I'm not that picky- except for my ink and stamps- those are almost exclusively CTMH. Back in November I put my daughter's albums together from her first few months and noticed that I had not scrapped a single picture from her 3 month photo shoot (which has some of my fave pics of her)- CRAZY! Here's one: These were taken last month just before Christmas! If you have not already picked up on it, Red Black and White is my favorite color combo! I love scrapping in these colors too!

I had a chance to scrap quite a bit this week due to being off work! I created this layout from a Shanna sketch! My blogging friend is back to sketching and posts a new sketch each Wednesday!
