This month we have over 60 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!<br />
<br />
I used my stamp set along with the new My Creations Memory Game to create a calendar so that I can keep track of the birthdays and anniversaries that happen throughout the months. This stamp set has a couple of stamps that go along with the new Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. I cut the tag on the top of the box with the Cricut cartridge and then stamped on the cut tag. I also tried my first flower from the cartridge! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb11KhU2_iqniDIoppaA0xOMfvYuJg6tUx0GnGls9QQevOR1aAik5HdYyAuJF0rCXVefWQcDBp_L2CjpdbwVGraL8WHg5Of087kTiCSdIloA8n60Kav9hDybaBtMwBK9QcCin90jdL6av5/s1600/2011_08310083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb11KhU2_iqniDIoppaA0xOMfvYuJg6tUx0GnGls9QQevOR1aAik5HdYyAuJF0rCXVefWQcDBp_L2CjpdbwVGraL8WHg5Of087kTiCSdIloA8n60Kav9hDybaBtMwBK9QcCin90jdL6av5/s320/2011_08310083.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <br />

The Memory Game comes with 24 cards so I used two cards for each month (only one of each is shown here). For the cards, I cut a rectangle with the Art Philosophy cartridge and then stamped the cut image. I stamped a month on each of the cards (I plan to add names/dates for birthdays and anniversaries during the month). On the back of the cards, I added a magnet so that I can hang the current month on my refrigerator (or any other magnetic surface) and I will have a reminder of who I need to send cards to!<br />

The baby shower is this coming weekend and I finally completed the first part of their gift! The mommy-to-be likes to scrapbook so I made her an album for the first year. All she has to do is fill it with photos!<br />
<br />
I used the how-to programs from Close To My Heart for the page layouts. All supplies are Close To My Heart.<br />

If you have come here from <a href="http://momnmescrap.blogspot.com/2011/07/august-stamp-of-month-blog-hop-wicked.html">Shirley's Blog</a>, 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. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants <a href="http://bowlofstamps.blogspot.com/p/sotm-blog-hop-list.html">here</a>. <br />

This month we have over 60 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!<br />
<br />
I used my set to create a one page layout. I used the Bottom Border - Overlap pattern from the Reflections pattern book. Instead of using pattern paper, I used the stamps to create borders along the edges of my cardstock. <br />

<br />
I made a card using the Keep It Level pattern from the Wishes pattern book. I used one of the small stamps to create my own pattern paper. I stamped the large star and cut it out before adding to the card. Of course, no card can be complete without a little sparkle!<br />

This was the kind of wedding that little girls dream about!!! I had told the bride beforehand that her wedding gift was going to be a scrapbook and that it would be a little late. Little did I know, that it was going to be two months!<br />
<br />
I recently got through my creative block and was able to finish the album. Luckily, the bride loved it and I no longer feel bad about it being late!<br />
<br />
When asked what colors she would like, the bride told me cream and gold. Little did I know that it would be so difficult to find a variety of gold paper! I also searched all over for the perfect book to put it all in. I finally decided to make my own cover. I purchased a sturdy scrapbook and then found some fabric to cover it with. I had their initials embroidered on a piece of the fabric in gold. I added a gold ribbon and the book was beautiful! <br />
<br />
Here it is:<br />

<br />
I created a card using Originals pattern Balance It Out. I used one of the chair stamps as a background stamp and did some coloring with markers. For the green chair, I stamped the image on some Mayberry B&T paper and then cut it out. I added some Mocha Adhesive Gems for the buttons on the chair.<br />

<br />
We took my daughter in to have pictures taken with live bunnies and baby chicks last week. What an experience that was! She did great with the first several shots. The last shots were of her sitting on the floor with a bunny in her lap and a baby chick crossing the floor in front of her. We'd ask her to look at the camera, she would say okay, the baby chick would be let go...and...she would watch the chick waddle back to the water and giggle while he walked! I'm not sure how the photographer got a shot of her looking at the camera but he did.<br />
<br />
A few days later, my sister in law decided we should take my daughter and her granddaughter into Walgreen's for the free photos with the Easter Bunny. Teagan was so excited to see the Easter Bunny until he came out from the back. Once she saw him, she decided she did not want to sit on his lap. We ended up convincing her to sit on my lap while I sat next to the Easter Bunny. We all got our picture taken and she got a sucker.<br />
<br />
I decided to get the pictures scrapbooked today:<br />

I took the parts that I liked from the different ones in the stores and combined those parts for what I thought would work for me. It worked out well for 2010 and when everyone at the office was ordering calendars for 2011, I decided to tweak mine. It's a little time consuming but so worth it for me!<br />
<br />
Every couple of months, I make a new cover for it. I have finally gotten around to do something new for this year. I used the Wings Workshop on the Go Stamp Set. I used three of the stamps on White Daisy Cardstock to create my own pattern paper. I used Black Ink for the large stamp and Hydrangea ink for the other two. I cut the pattern paper down and layered it on top of Hydrangea Cardstock that was on top of Black Cardstock. I used purple sparkles to give it a little shine. I put it together with my Bind It All. <br />
<br />
Here it is:<br />

I used one stamp from the set on my card. After stamping in black ink, I stamped over it with VersaMark and then embossed the image with our Clear Detail embossing powder. Before heating the embossing powder, I sprinkled on some prisma glitter. The card looks much more shiny in person! I added some bling after embossing. <br />

My mother-in-law is another one that is super difficult to buy for. All of them like to stop at yard sales and at second hand stores and have houses that are full of "stuff". <br />
<br />
This year I thought I would be a little more creative with the gifts that we give them. About a month ago, I told my husband that I was going to make two albums (one for the grandparents and one for the mother-in-law). The plan was to include photos that I've taken during the last year - starting with last Christmas. I know they will all love it and hopefully it will start a tradition for years to come. <br />
<br />
I've gone through our pictures and selected just the right ones. I've chosen some patterns from the fabulous Close To My Heart How-To books. Now, I need to get busy and get some scrapping done and put the albums together! We're celebrating with my grandparents next Saturday!<br />
<br />
As I am trying to get inspiration for the next pages, I thought I'd share my just completed Easter layout. We have Easter at our house every year and invite both sides of our families. This year, my cousin Heather was visiting from Las Vegas. This layout is for my grandparents book.<br />

Well, believe me, I can do girly! <br />
<br />
These photos were taken of my daughter last year. She loves to put on my shoes and walk around the house. I was shocked that she was able to stay upright in these boots! <br />
<br />
The bling makes it a little difficult to get a good photo - I'll keep trying and repost them if I get a better shot.<br />

Here is the Workshop on the Go kit that I put together. I did two 2-page layouts and six cards. I had plenty of paper left over that I used to cover the <a href="http://papercreationsbywendy.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-product-blog-hop-sneak-peek-at.html">Board Book</a>. The stamp set that comes with the kit has little monsters. They are even more adorable if you do like the instructions say and cover them in glitter! I was covered in glitter for days afterwards but my monsters were adorable when they were finished!<br />
<br />
For the featured layout, I used pictures from the first time my daughter went trick or treating. The first house that we stopped at had another little girl in the same costume! Teagan caught on quickly and even though her candy bucket got heavy, she was determined to carry it herself.<br />

After looking through our How-To books for a layout, I settled on the Balance It Out template from Originals to get me started. I ran Pear and Lagoon cardstock through my Big Shot with an embossing folder. After embossing, I used our sanding kit on the raised dots. For the brad-like look on the corners, I stamped the dot from the Heart to Heart stamp set and then used Liquid Glass to make it shiny.<br />
<br />
The end product looks like this:<br />

I'm not sure where the time has gone! I shouldn't be surprised that it has gone by so fast - after all, my baby boy will be 18 in the summer. They never stop being our "babies", do they?<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, mommy doesn't get to celebrate with her today (I'm off to Michigan for training for Relay for Life). I'll be back Saturday evening (hopefully in time to see her big brother off to the homecoming dance with his girlfriend). On Sunday, the family is going to celebrate by going to the Pumpkin Patch and then next week we'll have her party with the rest of our family and our friends.<br />
<br />
Now for some pictures!<br />
<br />
Here is the invitation to her party:<br />

<br />
I used this stamp set on a Christmas layout. I'm usually not one to spend a lot of time coloring my stamped images but this turned out to be kind of fun! While I was on a roll of coloring, I also blew the dust off of my Blending Pen. I used the blending pen on the areas I colored black on Santa and on used it to color the Christmas tree. I used the layout, On with the Show, from our newest how to book, Magic. I plan to put some hidden journaling behind where the title Santa is stamped. The photos are from my daughter's first time sitting on Santa's lap. The photos are a little hard to see because I wasn't supposed to be taking them at all, but that's a story for another time (and the reason for the HIDDEN journaling)!<br />

I randomly stamped a piece of Cotton Candy cardstock after I scored my paper. I stamped the skull on a piece of white cardstock and then sponged Cotton Candy ink all over. I used some Stardust Glitter Glue on the eye patch to make it stand out some. Finally, I closed the bag with some ribbon. I think I'll be using these as goodie bags for my upcoming crop!<br />
<br />
Supplies Used:<br />
Cardstock: Black, Cotton Candy, White Daisy<br />
Stamp Set: Thriller<br />
Ink: Cotton Candy<br />
Embellishments: Black Ribbon, Stardust Glitter Glue<br />

After Halloween, all I need to do is get my pictures printed and insert them in the book. This would probably make a good gift for Grandma but I have a feeling I'll be keeping it for myself.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtuJicxdzJRqargG7ehI8xr76DhWBRcnLgaToiDfhQF1YYMvMpg_lU6s6-bbMepiL_VHJgIkAH8EFFxz1P6QbxU9v0aSNJKoL6peob-jOBSU6E9m_FTw1oorIb19QNN0aeolX_L1N5eFp/s1600/2010_08260010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtuJicxdzJRqargG7ehI8xr76DhWBRcnLgaToiDfhQF1YYMvMpg_lU6s6-bbMepiL_VHJgIkAH8EFFxz1P6QbxU9v0aSNJKoL6peob-jOBSU6E9m_FTw1oorIb19QNN0aeolX_L1N5eFp/s320/2010_08260010.JPG" /></a></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
