CTMH Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for April

Welcome to the Close to My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for April. This month we are featuring the stamp set "You Are . . .".


Hop along with me & a bunch of other great CTMH consultants!  We've created a whole lot of artwork for you, all using the April Stamp of the Month.  If you've come here from Krista's Blog, you are on the right path. If this is your first stop on the hop, that will work too (just keep hopping till you get back here again).

To continue along the hop, just follow the link at the end of each post to go to the next site. We hope that following the hop will give you lots of inspiration and ideas for using this month's stamp set, along with the many other great CTMH products you'll see in each post!
 
My creation for you today is a 12" x 12" scrapbook page.   The page design was inspired by a layout I saw on Pinterest. 

I used this great Stamp of the Month set in several places on my layout -- I created my own background paper by stamping the argyle type pattern over my entire piece of bamboo cardstock.  I used bamboo ink - so the design is subtle - - but it just adds a little 'something'.   I then used the starburst image as a border on the green strip of cardstock under the photo.  And finally, the title.   What a versatile stamp set.  I can see getting a LOT of use out of this set!   
My layout features the new paperpack "VICTORY" from CTMH.  I also used the Milepost Corrugated Shapes, the Blue Ribbon Assortment, Lucky chipboard (retired), Chocolate Waxy Flax, and the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (to cut the tag).  I used Chocolate, Colonial White, Bamboo, Olive, and Kraft cardstock, and Outdoor Denim ink.
 
The "You Are . . ." stamp set is available from your CTMH consultant from April 1st to 30th, 2012. You can purchase it for $17.95 or get it for just $5 with your qualifying purchase of $50 or more during the month of April.
