CTMH Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September

Welcome to the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September.   This month we are featuring the stamp set "Poster Tidings".   

Hope you'll join us this month - we have CTMH consultants from across the US and Canada who have created some great projects for you featuring this month's stamp set.    The variety of ideas are sure to leave you feeling creatively inspired!

If you've come here from Laurie's Blog, then you are on the right path.  If my blog is your first stop, that will work too! Just keep hopping until you get back here again!   You'll find a link at the end of each post to move to the next site.  Enjoy :-)

Here is my creation for this month's hop:

My card is based on the sketch #26 in the CTMH book "Make it From Your Heart Volume 2".   I increased the size of the card from 4.25" x 5.5" to 5" x 7".  And although you can't see the sparkle very well in the photograph - I highlighted the stamped word "JOY" by filling the letters with Bitty Sparkles.      The sparkles, along with the shimmer tape and a string of silver threaded through the twine give the card a festive touch.
