This month we have 70 CTMH Consultants sharing their SOTM creations, and other great CTMH artwork. Hopping along is fun and simple to do - just click the link at the end of each blogger's post to move to the next one!

This month I have a couple layouts to share :)
This first one was created with the Splendor paper pack. I added the whimsical little hedgehog as an accent to my page. I stamped him in Chocolate ink and sponged on chalk for his body and face. I then cut him out and added color and bling to the little butterfly on his nose.

Supplies:
Splendor Lv 2
Happy Forever SOTM
Circle Around chipboard
Friendship Alpha Small
Chocolate Alpha Large
Autumn Brads
Just Blooms- Spring Blossoms
Moonstruck, Topiary, Goldrush, Chocolate ink
Tulip Marker
Bling
Chalk

For this next layout, I also used the little hedgehog as an accent to my page. He matches the little hedgehog on her shirt so I thought it was perfect :) I stamped him in cocoa ink this time and used a sponge dauber to apply chocolate and cocoa ink to his hair and body. I then stamped the balloons again on 3 different pieces of patterned paper and cut them out, paper piecing them to the original stamped image. I cut the image and placed it on my layout.
This layout features non-CTMH papers so here is the hedgehog up close :)

Supplies:
Happy Forever
Cocoa, Chocolate ink
Friendship Alpha lg

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months! I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration. The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy! I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass. Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...
