One of my favourite new items in the Seasonal Expressions catalogue is the new Workshops Your Way collections!  The contain EVERYTHING ( and I mean everything!) that you will need to create a minimum of 3 double layouts, a Picture My Life layout, and some cards with each kit!!  If you want to make the project as is, you simply download the instructions and material list, order your products, and you are ready to go!  Or if you want to order the kit and make it "Your Way", that works, too!

Here is just one of the layouts you can make with the instructions provided!

January 2016 - CTMH Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

 Hi and Happy New Year!  Welcome to the first Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for 2016! This month's stamp set "Beloved Bouquet" has 14 great stamps to make your Valentine's sweet - or just to say "I am thinking of you!"

If you have come from  PRISCILLA'S BLOG, you are in the right spot!  The hop is a great big circle, but if you get lost, please go to MELINDA'S BLOG, for the complete list of 33 consultants participating in the hop!

I used the set to create a "Thinking of You" card - I love two step stamps!  I used a very classic colour palette and the matching cardstock:

I used Cranberry and New England Ivy Cardstock for the card base and first mat.  I then used a Picture My Life Card and added the flowers and leaves - stamped and fussy cut. Aside from my not so favourite fussy cutting, this card was quick and easy!

This set is so versatile and I can think of so many colour combinations that to use with this!  I can't wait to see what the other consultants have come up with!  To see what the next consultant has created, please hop on to BRENDA'S BLOG!  This set is available only during the month of January, so check with your local consultant or go HERE for all the details!
