March's SWAA Blog Hop

Welcome to March's Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop.    Who are the Stampers with an Attitude?  It is the Close to My Heart team lead by my fabulous upline, Kimberly Moss. This month I am following  {Kimberly Moss.}  

This month we are spotlighting boxes or the Penelope Paper Pack.  Our blog hop is a circular hop.  You just click on the link to the next blog at the bottom of this post and go visit the next blog.  If you get lost, I have all of the participating blogs listed at the bottom of my post.  Hope you enjoy seeing what our team has made for you.

I chose to use the Penelope Paper Pack.  It is such a happy and cheery paper pack.  I love the colors in this paper pack and am so ready for Spring.  I also used the purple washi tape from the Limeade Washi pack, the Spring Critters stamp set, the Spring Critters Thin Cuts, and the Playful Puffies. Oh, and don't forget the Penelope Complements!

Here is my card:


With the Seasonal Expressions 1, Close to My Heart released our new thin cuts.  If you are just making one card or piece of artwork, it is so easy to pull out my cuttlebug and my thin cuts to cut out my cute little bunny.  And, of course, I watercolored my bunny.  Such a fun card to make.

I used the February 28th card pattern from Paper Players.  I am entering my card in their challenge.


I want to thank you for visiting my blog.  The next very talented artist for you to visit on our blog hop is {Melissa Robinson}.

    Can I tell you how much I am loving this stamp set?




    I wanted to make a very special card that I am actually going to send out to a loved one so I went out in search of a cool card pattern.  I found one on the Viva la Verve Sketches.



    Here's my card.



    I stayed pretty close to the sketch.  I have not used the Georgie paper pack much so I grabbed it to use for my card.  Look at all of the cool pattterns.

    Now head over to my website, and buy this supercute stamp set and support Operation Smile while you do it!  I would love to sell enough stamp sets to buy a smile.  Thank you for visiting my blog.

    February SOTM - Balloon Animals

    Welcome to the February Stamp of the Month 
    Blog Hop! 




    This month I am following {Catherine Nowak's Blog.}   We have 39 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this month’s Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.      

    The February Stamp of the Month is entitled Balloon Animals (S1602) (Set of 13).   Here is a picture of this stamp set:






    Isn't this just the cutest stamp set ever?  I am guessing it brings me back to my childhood.  I love it!

    I kind of knew what I wanted to do with this stamp set but I started off my designing my checking Pinterest.  I didn't find anything that really grabbed me that would work with this stamp set, but it got my creative juices flowing.  I wanted something fun and whimsical with bright colors.  So I knew I was using our new Penelope paper pack and I knew that I wanted to bring in cuts with the Cricut.

    Here is my card.


    Do you like my cute little balloon monkey riding the balloon giraffe?  I have a lot going on but using the Penelope paper pack made it so easy to create.  The patterns are fun without being too matchy-matchy.

    The Balloon Animals Stamp of the Month Stamp Set can be purchased for $17.95 or if you purchase $50 in CTMH products, you can add this stamp set to your order for an additional $5.  This stamp set is only available between February 1 – February 29, 2016. 

    Thank you for visiting my blog.  I would love for you to show me a little love by leaving me a comment and then please go to our next artist, {Melissa Robinson's Blog} and see what she has made with this adorable stamp set.

    I am linking this card with the Paper Players Tic Tac Toe Challenge.
