National Scrapbooking Month Blog Hop

Live Beautifully Blog Hop

  

May 6th was National Scrapbooking Day, but we are celebrating all month with our Live Beautifully Collection.  Close to My Heart has created a stunning paper collection, a stamp set and a cut above kit. 

If you have come here from Melissa'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 18 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's promotional collection 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!

I really love this month's promotional paper, and have created quite a few layout using only 1 package of paper and I still have lots of paper yet to plan with. I only used 3 of the patterns here, the gold foil dots are 1 of 2 gold foil designs and it pairs well with all the remaining patterns.

I decided I wanted to use the flowers from the coordinating stamp set, and decided to try stamping them in black ink.  The leaves are stamped in New England Ivy ink.  I fussy cut all the flowers and leaves and then decided to go with a uniform layout, using 2 4x6 photo mats and 2 4x4 photo mats.
