This month we have over 55 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM 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!
This is the GORGEOUS stamp set that we had to work with this month! I hope you love it as much as I do!
And here is my creation. I just love how this Pacifica stamped bird pops on the background. Read more for details!
I was able to learn this amazing "faux wood" technique by watching a video created by the VERY talented fellow CTMH Consultant, Tracey Mason! You can view this "how to" video HERE. I am surrounded by so many talented people in my Close To My Heart family. Let me know if YOU would like to join our family as well!
Now "Hop" on over to Carol Horton'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 January's SOTM is only available until January 31st! Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!
