CTMH--- May Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for May, featuring Chairs to You   All artwork on the hop will feature May's Chairs to You, a set of 14 stamps! If you have come here from Angela's Blog you are on the right path. This month we have  about 55 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 have created a very simple card for you!  In fact, I used only scraps for this card.  I stamped the image using cocoa ink onto a piece of the patterned paper from Miracle.  Kinda reminds me of an "ugly chair", you know, the kind we all had in our homes in the 80's.   Supplies: Chairs to You Miracle Level 2 Basic Button Collection Crystal Blu...

CTMH + Jewel Kade-- Altered Mirror

Nothing beats combining the love for TWO businesses into one project!  I needed a mirror to add to my Jewel Kade display.  I had one in the closet in the "to alter" pile.  So I got it out, pulled out some CTMH supplies and got to work! I started by spray painting the frame white.  It took three coats and was not fully covered.  But that was ok, and the look I was going for.  I sanded it smooth a little.  Then I painted a layer of CTMH's Create a shade Pearl Paint to give it a little shimmer.  I used the Wings Workshop stamp set and Juniper ink to create the damask pattern.  Then I stamped JK using archival Black ink and Building Block Alphabet.  I used some fat gingham ribbon to create rolled ribbon roses and attached them to the bottom corner.  The paint and ink took a while to dry, so I heat set it (a little too much in one spot, but shhhhh). I am totally thrilled with the outcome it looked FABULOUS on my display!  I got...

Spring Fashions-- Sewing projects

Did you know I sew too?  I consider myself a beginner still, but I do enjoy sewing.  Every once in a while, I will bring out my machine, fabric and supplies and create a few projects.  Then I'll put it away for a couple months....  This week, I started out by hemming some of my husband's baseball pants.  I have had a few sewing projects brewing in my mind, so I kept the machine out and went to town :) I created this tank top dress via my dear college friend Heather's blog/tutorial . I was so excited to see when she posted this tutorial, because I had just purchased a couple plain tanks from Old Navy's sale!  I plan to make another one of these this week :)     I adore this super cute outfit too!  My mommy group friend Amy from Positively Splendid has done a couple of these ruffled appliques on t-shirts, so I used her tutorial found HERE.  The skirt is just a simple A-line skirt that I attempted to add a ruffled edge to. ...
