August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring the August Stamp of the Month called What A Hoot.  This set includes 17 stamps.  If you have come here from Jilena's blog then 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.  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. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog: http://ifyoublingit.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-close-to-my-heart-august-what-hoot.html

This month you will be inspired by nearly 70 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs! 

This card is ready to drop in the mail to your favorite person!  It is made on white cardstock stamped with Geometric Backgrounds (D1559) in Honey (Z2162), Canary (Z2643) and Bamboo (Z2103).  My owl was stamped and embossed with Black embossing powder, then colored with our brand new Touch Twin markers in Carmine (Z2448) and Marigold (Z2457).  The spots were added using the Lepen Journaling Pen (Z1979). He gets a good look at you with his studded eyes.  The sentiment is stamped on a conversation bubble (Z1793) and pennants were added for a final touch.

Now "Hop" on over to Casandra'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 August SOTM is only available until August 31st!  Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount!

August Events

Scholastic

August brings some BIG changes for Close To My Heart and me!  Beginning this month, Close To My Heart offers some exciting new home decor products and two of them are offered as Workshop on the Go kits!  Also, Close To My Heart brought back card-making Workshop on the Go kits!

Scroll Album

Starting this month, I will offer two crop nights each month for you to have plenty of time to create all of the fabulous products available.  As always, the crop night is free and friends are welcome!  During August, I will highlight the Scholastic and Scroll Album Workshop on the Go kits.  To order your kits, click here for Scholastic or here for the Scroll Album.  To RSVP for either date, click here. If you can't join us in person, these kits have all of the instructions you need to complete them on your own at home.

You may be wondering what my big news is.  We are moving!  Why do I share this with you?  Because our new house has a walk-out basement that will be my new craft room with lots of space for you to craft with us each month!  If I can get it set up super quick, we will meet there August 24th.  If that doesn't work, we will begin meeting there in September.  I can't wait!
