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 used Glacier cardstock for my base, adding strips of pattern cut at 1", 2" and 3".  I layered the title over the bottom of the sun.  I love the patterns on the pinwheel, and added a flower sticker to the center.  The photo is a 4x6, and is layered on a Heather Mat. 

Now "Hop" on over to Melinda'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!

We hope that you will take the time to leave comments on our posts, as we love to get feedback from our viewers....whether it was something that you really liked or some new technique that was used that you would like to learn how to do....by leaving us comments, we get to hear what you like, and what you want to see. Thank you… now on to our hop!

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop. Since we hop from East Coast to West Coast, I'm also the first stop for this hop. If you came from Kristine's Blog then you are in the right place! 


I had a crazy week but was able to put together this 2 page layout that I will use to also teach at my scrapbooking for beginners class.  I used the Budding Peony stamp set and thin cut as well as the Feels like Home scrapbooking stamp set.  I used the flower print pattern from Feels Like Home, Sugarplum CS, Mink CS and Fern CS.  White Daisy cardstock are the bases for this layout.  Inks were Sugarplum, Fern and Charcoal.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Colleen.

If you get lost along the way, come back here to the full hop list:

This month we have approximately 18 Close To My Heart Consultants 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 didn't want to use any of the paper collections.  I chose to show how well this stamp set works for creating your own background pattern.  I used SugarPlum, Heather and White Daisy cardstock. the ink color are Heather, SugarPlum and Black.  I also coloured the butterflies in using the Sugarplum Shimmer Brush. This set of 6 cards came together so quickly, and the stamp set has such diversity.  What will you create?



Now "Hop" on over to Melissa Robinson'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!
