May SOTM Blog Hop

Well, It's that time again to see what the new SOTM is and see the fabulous artwork created by me and my CTMH sisters.  They are an incredibly creative group of people and I love seeing there work as much as you do.  So sit back, relax and enjoy.  It is a circle hop, so each consultants blog leads to the next one.  if you get lost along the way go to Helen's blog for the full list of participants.  If you have come here from Antoinette's  blog you are in the right place.

This months SOTM is "Cherish The Moment" a set of 8 checklist style journaling type stamps.  I just love this set.  It is great for cards and scrapbook pages.

I am working on the album from my son's Bar Mitzvah and I thought this was perfect for the page I was doing.

I used paper from "Stardust" level 2 paper pack, versamark ink and gold embossing powder for the stamp.  I marked the check off boxes with clear sparkles-I used the smallest ones.  I really like this set.  Check back later as I am planning to make a birthday card that I will post tomorrow.

Next stop on your journey is Traci's Blog.  I am sure you will see some great projects and get some inspiration to get your own creative juices flowing. Remember, the SOTM is only available until May 31st! Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!

Enjoy the Hop!

Happy Scrapping!

Studio J

This is CTMH's new digital scrapbook program.  Right now it is only available to consultants for product testing.  I am having so much fun with it.  I can't wait to get my prints.  Meanwhile here are some layouts I made with it.  If you click on the picture  it will enlarge and you can see more detail.

The best part is that it took way less time then then doing it the traditional way.  It is fun too.

Thanks for looking and stay tuned for more on Studio J!

Keep on Scrappin'

December SOM Blog Hop

Welcome to the December 2009 Blog Hop featuring Close to my Heart's December Stamp of the Month "Notice the Details" (set of 41 stamps). This is a circular hop so if you keep clicking on the links at the bottom of the posts you'll make your way through all 60+ consultant blogs with art projects featuring this stamp set! If a link is broken you can see the full list of participating consultants at the end of this post. If you have come here from Dawn Ross's blog at http://www.iamahappystamper.blogspot.com/  then you are on the right track.

This stamp set is sooo cute and versatile. I used it for a scrapbook layout, but you will also see that many consultants have made cards as well. I actually used the same pictures as last months layout, but I think the pages look completely different. It just goes to show how different papers and stamps can change the feel of a layout. So sit back, relax and enjoy the creativity.

I used :Sweet Home Level 2 paper pack (X7116B).  Colors used are Buttercup,, Garnet, Heavenly Blue, & Indian Corn Blue.  In addition to the stamp of the month I used C1384 "Neighborhood"  and "Boutique Alphabet" (E1003) Chocolate Collection Ribbon Rounds Z1127.

Your next stop in the hop is Lori Brown  at http://www.savingmine.blogspot.com/
