It's All About the Green Blog Hop- Day 2- CTMH's Event Calendar

Welcome to the "It's All About the Green" Blog hop!!!!  Thanks for joining us for DAY TWO!  If you missed Day One---- CLICK HERE--- to check it out :)



I am happy to be a part of this wonderful group and hope you are enjoying this TWO DAY hop!!!!! 


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 March page features CTMH's Friendship (the February Stamp of the Month) and a shamrock cut from "A Child's Year" Cricut Cartridge.
First, I created the background pattern using two of the stamps from the Friendship set.  I then sanded the image a bit to tone down the brightness of the color and sponged the edges.  I added the cute little shamrock and sponged the edges of it to give it a little bit of dimension. 




This is the full Event Calendar page.  I used the Holiday Hoopla stamp set to stamp the shamrock in first and second generation randomly on the page.  


Supplies:
All CTMH unless noted
D1453 Friendship
D1382 Holiday Hoopla
White Daisy, Olive Carstock
Sweetleaf, Olive ink
Cricut- A Child's Year

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 :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
