Circus SOTM Blog Hop...

Welcome to this month's SOTM Blog Hop featuring artwork from over 40 CTMH Consultants!

If you've come from Mary's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around 'till you get back to where you started!

This stamp set is so versatile and CUTE...who doesn't love a good alphabet stamp set...and a doodle one at that!

I chose to make a card using the soon to be retired Ariana...it's MY FAVORITE!!!

--------------------------

Here is a close-up of the flowers I cut from another piece of B&T...it just adds that extra dimension when you're working with floral B&T...

------------------------------

Here is a peek at the bottom part and the scored frame...something as simple as scoring a square around your card can add extra dimension as well...

---------------------------------

Here's how I did the muted hearts...took a piece of hearts that I cut for a project I will be sharing next week and some White Daisy Ink and a sponge dauber and sponged away...

-------------------------------------

Here's what the inside looks like...another flower cut from an extra piece of B&T...

Thanks for stopping by...don't forget to get your hands on this stamp set by the end of July!  And...don't forget that there are tons of products being discontinued!  You'll have 'till July 31st to get your hands on all your favorites then they are gone forever!

Now hop on over to my friend, Haley's Blog and see what she has to share!

The Great Outdoors with H2H...

This week over at H2H, we want you to get OUTDOORS and show us your projects!

I'm sharing some layouts I shared with my monthly scrapbook girls back in March.  I just LOVE Timberline paper...the masculine patterns and colors...and not too outdoorsy in case you want to use them for something else.

Now head on over to the H2H Blog and see what the other DT members have to share!

Don't forget to play along with us by linking up your projects before the end of the month!
