CTMH-- January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop + Inspirations Special

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for January 2011 & Happy New Year!!


All artwork on the hop will feature January's Find Your Style, a set of 9 stamps! If you have come here from Adeline's Blog you are on the right path.



This month we have  about 60 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!  Be sure to leave some love (comments) along the way :)

This month, I have created a layout to showcase some photo booth pictures from the 2010 CTMH Convention.  I used all new products from the January's INSPIRATIONS  special.  First, I chose the Wings paper pack because the theme of Convention "Picture This" also featured butterflys.  I created my own glimmer mist using Black Reinker, Create a Shade Pearl Paint, water & the new Spray Pen.  I sprayed my entire background paper.  I also sprayed the background for all my stamped images.  I used the butterfly and the sentiment from the Stamp of the Month.  I also used a special convention stamp set for the title "Picture this"





A close up of the top corner of my page, so you can see the detail of the glimmer mist!  This is a super cool technique and I'm so excited to finally be able to make my own glimmer mist.  I can make it in any color I want using CTMH's reinkers and the create a shade pearl paint.  I see a LOT of glimmer misting in my future!


Supplies:
Find Your Style

Black reinker

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
