Hello!  So glad you are stopping by!  Welcome to the April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.  If you are coming from Jeanie's Blog, you are on the right track.  There are over 60 consultants who are participating in the hop this month.  If you get lost along the way, go to Melinda's Blog to get the entire list.

This month we are showcasing (S1504) Typed Note.  A set of 19 stamps featuring lots of much needed sentiments, old fashioned typewriter and hand.  Great for any occasion.    

I chose Lagoon, Black and White Daisy for my cards this round.  And what better paper to use with that combo than Chalk It Up (X7184B)  

 This card pattern is from Make It From Your Heart Volume 1 on page 45.  The typewriter fit just perfectly in the middle space.  Black and Teal Shimmer Trim and an Epoxy Bubble from the Black and Grey set finishes it off.

These cards also have the same Shimmer Trim and Epoxy Bubbles.  The hand on the card on the left is cut out to give a little more dimension.

March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Hello Hoppers!  So glad you could stop by.  If you have come from Jennifer's Blog, you are on the right track. Welcome to my blog and the March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.  There is so much great artwork to view this month.  Enjoy the hop and let's get started!

 Choose Happy (S1503) is the Stamp of the Month for March.  I used the Hopscotch Paper Pack (X7194B) found in the Seasonal Expressions.  I added Black Cardstock, Black Ink,  Black Baker's Twine and a little blue butterfly Puffie from the Junebug Collection also found in the Seasonal Expressions.

 This card also was made using Hopscotch, with the addition of Black Cardstock.  Gold Sequins and Black Shimmer Trim finish it off.

 The third card with Hopscotch is a top fold card, using a stamp from this set as a balloon string.  I stamped the balloon on the back side of Pink Glitter Paper using the Cricut Birthday Set for Artiste.  You could always cut the balloon out with the Cricut!  The number strip is a zip strip from the paper pack.  With each piece of designed paper, you will get a strip to cut off and use anywhere!

Choose Happy is a great set for scrapbooking too.  Just imagine all of the possibilities for these frames.   Now hop on over to Wendy's blog to see what she has created.

Thanks for stopping,

February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and the February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  If you have come from Jeanie's Blog,  then you are on the right track.  To see all of the hoppers participating in the hop, check HERE.

A Happy Hello (S1502) is the February Stamp of the Month. This is a set of 15 stamps and can only be ordered during the month of February.

The two cards above were made using the Brushed Paper Pack, found on page 99 of the Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  I love those colors together.  When I make cards, I usually use the smaller patterned papers and save the big bold papers for layouts.  I popped up the top flower on the left card as well as the center of the right card.  Did you notice the piece of Glitter Paper?  It's from the Teal Collection.  And of course I had to use those cute little Junebug Puffies found on page 35 of the Seasonal Expressions.

Now hop on over to Tina's Blog to see the beautiful work she has created.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Enjoy the hop!

November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.  If you have come from Pam's blog, you are on the right track.  If you get lost along the way, please check HERE for the complete list of hoppers.

This month's stamp set is called It's The Little Things (S1411)

My first two cards were made using the colors of the Pathfinder Paper Pack: Goldrush, Lagoon, Glacier, Autumn Terracotta, Olive and Chocolate.  I have fallen in love with this set.  Layering the flowers really makes them really pop.  And did you notice the white on white card?  The top piece is popped up a bit.  The card on the right is a 3x3 card.  Just a small little gift card.

These little cards are just 3x3s also.  Quick and simple with three colors of ink to add dimension.  We all need that fast little card to add to a gift or to slip onto someones desk or in a bag.

This is a set of 15 stamps I think you will really love.  Ask me how you can get yours for just $5. 

 Now hop on over to Brenda's Blog to see what she has created.  Enjoy the journey.  I hope it inspires you to think about the "little things"
