CTMH-- March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for March featuring Sensational Seasons!




All artwork on the hop will feature March's Sensational Seasons, a set of 10 stamps! If you have come here from Wanda's Blog you are on the right path.



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

Today I'd like to share with you part of my Event Calendar.  I just love this little calendar that CTMH has for us!  It is perfect to record all those important dates to remember like Birthdays and Anniversaries.  I keep mine in my office, next to my regular calendar.  My intent is to send out birthday cards to everyone whose name is on that little calendar, but I have not been very good at it lately :(

The April page features the Sophia paper pack and the March SOTM- Sensational Seasons.  I stamped the basket image in the Timber Brown Staz-on ink.  I then took the Blending pen and dipped it in the ink colors that I wanted to color in the Easter Eggs and then the basket.  This is actually the first time that I have successfully used my blending pen, so it was quite a thrill!  I can't believe how easy it was, and really don't know what I was doing wrong before.  I like this just as much as using the waterbrush :)  So if you are afraid to color with markers, give the Blending Pen a try :)







I took the Easter Eggs from this set and stamped them along the length of the calendar as well.  I write all names in pencil (you know, just in case....)

Supplies Used:
All CTMH
Sophia Level 2
Sensational Seasons
Timber Brown Staz-on ink
Blending Pen
Lagoon, Pear, Hollyhock, Goldrush, Chocolate inks
Event Calendar

Come back over the weekend to see January through March, as part of an It's All About the Green Blog Hop.  (March 5-6)


Remember, the March SOTM is only available until 3/31! Click here to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!

Now hop hop hop on over to Sheila's Blog to see what she has created for you!

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. 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 ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
