Broken Treasures: Close To My Heart Aug. Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

It is here! August is a HUGE month for Close To My Heart fans with a brand new Idea Book, new products, beautiful new Artiste Cricut collection, a Super sign on special and new stamp of the month. I am so excited to share with you over the next few days all the great product that CTMH has introduced! First let's blog hop shall we? If you are coming from Georgia's blog you are in the right place! This is a full circle blog hop but if you want to start at the beginning or find the list of all our blogs this month go on over to Kathleen's blog.

I hope you are enjoying the hop so far. This is a really fun stamp set titled Baroque Borders and is so perfect for notecards and scrapbook pages alike!

Baroque Borders (set of 5)

You can get this great stamp set one of two ways: Place a $50 order with your CTMH consultant or on my website here and get this stamp set for only $5 or Purchase this stamp set from August 1st until August 31st for $17.95

When I first saw this stamp set I immediately thought of wedding! Wouldn't these made beautiful wedding invitations, thank you cards and programs? I made these thank you cards using Pear Ink and Crystal Blue Ink. On Monday night I was at a Ladies Night Out event and a woman saw these cards and said "those are my wedding colors"! I told her this stamp set would make great and inexpensive handmade wedding invitations for sure!! Here is the card using Pear Ink - they are Chocolate cardstock cards with a colonial white on the inside for writing. The sentiment is from the brand new Avonlea Card Workshop on the Go!

Here is another card - same style only with the Crystal Blue Ink.

And the cards together. I was so disappointed because my little helper (she is only two and so wants to do stamping with her Mama) got green ink smudges on my blue cards. However, I loved the blue one so I had to show them to you green ink smudges and all :)

Now for some celebrating :) I am hosting a blog party from August 1st until August 10th - celebrating one year blogging, one year with CTMH and the brand new Idea Book release! So come back every day to view a new item, projects and giveaways! We will end with a HUGE celebration and lots of fun giveaways on August 10th both on my blog and in my home :) If you are local join me for a Fun crafting night with free make and takes (scrapbook page, card or 3D item - your choice)! This is a girls night out so bring along your girlfriends for an additional entry into the door prize giveaways! If you are not local you can still join us for the fun with on-line only specials, prizes and giveaways! It is going to be a fun fun night!!
