November Stamp Of The Month


Here is a sneak peak of the Nov. SOTM-A snow man with all sorts of different scarves and hats...so super cute!

more CTMH peaks.......





Another card using images from the Sept. SOTM and I also added an image from the Oct SOTM. The Oct SOTM is a lot of fun to play with. It's great for placing journaling in or just cute saying or phrases. The paper I used for this card is from the Perfect Day paper pack. Everything is CTMH including the little corner frame embellies. They are so super cute and fun to play with . TFL. I'm going to post a couple more things later this afternoon, including a card using the Nov SOTM-a snowman......and I plan to post a smaple of all the paper packs featured in the new Fall Winter Idea book. :O)

New Accessories......

Getting bored of the same old brads and eyelets? Close To My Heart has come out with four new sets of accessories packs. The packs (sample show on the top middle) come with four different kinds of embellishments...so super cute and fun. 

They also introduced lots of packs of brads!!! 

Love sparkles? Close To My Heart also has a small pack of square and round white sparkles that have adhesive backs......so super ESSENTIAL!!!

 

Another Sneak Peek.....Stamp of the Month for September.....



Okay here is a sampling of the stamp of the month for September. So versatile and pretty. I also used paper from the new paper package: Evensong. This paper pack is so awesome-a must for Christmas cards and layouts. All the patterned paper sheets are double sided (like always)...LOVE it! TFL.
