I created a two-page layout by combining the SOTM with the Yuletide Carol Paper Pack. The sketch layout I used was inspired by a challenge on Let's Scrap Sketches.


This stamp set worked perfectly to create a strand of dangling tags and ornaments! I added silver shimmer trim and the sqeuins from the workshop kit.


"Dreaming, Believing, Wishing".

National Stamping Month "30 Years Of Happy" Blog Hop


Welcome to our National Stamping Month Blog Hop!  We will be featuring the exclusive "30 years of happy" stamp set, which is a set of 30 stamps.  If you have come here from Terry Ann Diack'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.  


For this promotion we have over 40 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this featured stamp set 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!




My creation is a fancy folding card featuring a trio of stamps. The one inch squares that are revealed when the flap is folded back are a great way to showcase three stamps that support the theme your card is after. My card is a Thank You for photography!


The heart in the center of the camera is the right size for a standard office supply punch!


To bring more attention to the camera I punched the lense center out and mounted it to 3D foam tape, which made the camera look like it had a zoom lense.


Above is the inside of my card when it is folded open. Lots of writing space! The trio is stamped again on the inside of the tabs.

To create my card I used the following: Colonial White Cardstock, Scoring Board, Cocoa ink, Chalk it up patterned paper, and Lagoon ink.
