April SOTM Blog Hop - Message in a Bottle

 Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

I am so excited to be creating again, I've missed creating projects for this Blog Hop, but my life was a little hectic for a bit, and now that things are leveling out I'm testing my skills but creating with our April SOTM.

Our April's SOTM, Message in a Bottle,  is a set of 21 stamps and features a great collection of bottles.   LOL, who would of guessed that?  

If you have come here from Melinda Everitt's blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog. 

This month we have approximately 12 Close To My Heart Makers sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

For my project I started my stamping the string of stars multiple times.  I coloured them using our Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers.  My frame is created using scraps of cardstock in multiple colours glued down to a sheet of plain cardstock.  I then used the largest of the Rectangle Frame Thin cuts.  I think this is a fun way to add pops of colour to projects.  Finally, I had to add some sparkle, and decided to randomly add little specks of adhesive to the card front, then using the Gold mini Stars I covered the glue creating this fun look.

Now "Hop" on over to Wendy Kessler's blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the April SOTM is only available until April 30th!  Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount!
