Two in One -- Blog Hop and Blog Candy

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for January!

All artwork on the hop will feature January's SOTM, "True Friends". If you have come here from Jena's blog you are on the right path! This is so 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 visit all the blogs you will see over 60 examples of CTMH artwork.

This month I will also be randomly selecting one person to win all 3 of my blog hop cards! To be entered, just post a comment below. I will draw a winner on January 2, and post the winner on January 3rd.

On all 3 of my cards this month I used paper from the Felicity paper collection that is only available through the end of January (or while supplies last). I am so so so, in love with this collection.

Card 1 -- I cut the middle out of one of the SOTM images and popped it up with 3D foam. I also used bitty sparkles on the corners, to add a little bling to it. The two little flowers are from the Felicity collection stamp set.

Card 2 -- This is a 4x4 card, which is my favorite size to make. The flower is from the new Just Blooms Paper Flowers in the Spring Idea book.

Card 3 -- I used a Mojo Monday card template to create this 5x6 card. I layered two of the SOTM images together and popped them with 3D foam. The flourish is part of the Felicity collection stamp set. I couldn't pass up adding a couple bitty sparkles to it either. Did you know that you can now get 100 bitty sparkles in the new Spring Idea Book for just $2.95? I am in sparkle heaven!


I really fell in love with this month's SOTM after sitting down and using it. I found it very versatile. I hope you do too!

Don't forget to post a comment for a chance to win all 3 cards.

Now "hop" on over to Carla's Blog to see her work!
