Welcome to our  Blog Hop!

We will be featuring Postcard Perfect, which is May's National Scrapbooking Month Promotion.  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 16 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's promotion 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 pulled out the Canary Cardstock from the Cardstock package, using the lighter side of this color.  I decided that I wanted to use the dotted vellum and wasn't sure how to incorporate it, so I pulled out Volume 3 of Make It From Your Heart and found layout that I could use. I used pattern 6 and rotated the design.  I used a zipstrip for the piece between the vellum and pattern paper.  I stamped my title in Smoothie ink, for a tone on tone look, added some stamped Hibiscus flowers and doodling and all done. 

Now "Hop" on over to Brandi'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, Postcard Perfect is only available until May 31th!  Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount!

I've been busy creating using this paper and stamp set, and today I'm going to share with you the 1st layout I've created using this stunning paper and coordinating stamp.

I stamped the flowers in Pixie Ink, and using both Pixie and Pomegranate Inks and my waterbrush I painted more ink onto the stamped flowers blending the 2 colors to create the beautifully flowers.  Usint the stamp technique I've also painted the leaves using New England Ivy Ink. Staying in the same color, the mats for the photos are Pixie cardstock.  The sentiment is stamped in Black Ink, and then I colored the silver sequins using pink and purple markers to coordinate with the colors in the paper.

We have used these paper and stamp designs to design an exclusive set of Cut Above™ layouts that are designed to make preserving memories faster, simpler, and easier than ever.
