Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for April 2014- Balloon Talk If you have come here from Haley's Blog , you're on the right path.  I just love the word bubbles in Balloon Talk!  This set can be used in so many ways!  This set coordinates with Artiste.  Today I want to show you the card that I have created to send to EVERY NEW CONSULTANT to join the Roxybonds Scrappers Team in April!  Featured here is Ivy Lane papers, Pink Glitter paper and Balloon Talk!  I stamped Welcome in Black, and used foam tape to pop it.  I stamped the empty word bubbles in Hollyhock, randomly down the side, and wrote in  "to CTMH".   This is a super easy card to reproduce :)  I'm hoping to make at least 50 of these this month :) :) The next amazing CTMH Consultant on our hop list is Michelle .

Around here, we are always super busy with SPORTS!!!!  A majority of the time, it's BASEBALL, but we like to throw in some Football, Soccer, Gymnastics & Cheer too.  It is SO HARD to find good sports themed scrapbook supplies, especially paper.  I just LOVE the Artbooking cartridge for Sports Layouts lately!  Here's one that I did to use with my son's baseball pictures- they were the Giants, thus the grey/black and orange.  I love that I can customize the layout to the team colors!! Take a look at the latest Artbooking Made Easy Video featuring All Star Scrapbooking! Put your team spirit on paper with the sports-themed keys on the Artbooking cartridge.

Today's layout was created from a Make It From Your Heart pattern.  I used Chantilly patterned paper, a Green Glitter Paper overlay, along with White Daisy, Outdoor Denim and Cotton Candy cardstocks.  I created a shamrock in Cricut Craft Room from shapes on Art Philosophy .  I also cut the bracket frame shape and flowers from Art Philosophy .  The overlay was cut from Artbooking .  The Lucky Mom Title was cut from Artiste. I added Pink Polka dot Washi Tape, Slate Polka Dot Washi Tape, Silver Shimmer Trim , Epoxy Alphabet, Blue Chevron Ribbon & Pink Glitter Gems to embellish.  Here's some deta...
