Stamp of the Month Blog hop - Circus Alphabet

We are hopping again thru the blog hop.
If you came from Shirley's blog, keep hopping and you'll do a complete circle
- or start here and continue a circle from here.

The stamp of the month is Circus Alphabet:

When I did this layout last week I knew what I would be doing with the photos!

I used the stamp set to do the words: CARNIVAL FUN

We attended Greek Fest in Milwaukee and my daughter went on every ride a dozen times!

A close up of the letters. I used our old markers (hint hint) to color the letters in.
The paper was a June Special paper pack!

Thanks for looking, please leave a comment.
Now hop over to Katy's blog to see her great artwork with this stamp set!

More art from Chicago

The photo above is a picture of Monica's family on the beach with a rug under the chairs - how cool is that!?

Some of these items won awards - like the picture frame below and others were auctioned off to raise money for Operation Smile

Above is a chalk board with our new fabrics. I think the canvas 6x6 are the bases!

Love the balloon PARTY banner on the left! 

Cupcake cards that the wrapper opens - all on our Cricut Cartridges!

See the pie boxes above too?!

Paper Doll house!

Learned some great techniques with our markers and stamps!  I'll have to do a class!

The cat has sparkles on the pillow, don't know if you click on the photo if they will show!

April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - "You Are . . . "

We are hopping again thru the Stamp of the Month!  

This month it's  YOU ARE . . . Stamp Set!

If you are coming from Kami's blog, you are in the right place, if you are starting here, just keep hopping and you will make a complete circle.  Comments are VERY Welcome - please leave them everywhere you hop.

Here is the stamp set:

You can get this stamp set for $17.95 or for $5 with a qualifying order at my CTMH Site 

(my site got a face lift!)

 I did a two page layout and made some cool splashes for the words using MTC:

 I wanted to make a card and have the diamond patterned stamp as a background on the card 

but the words reminded me of our new paper kit Super Hero! So Super Hero won!

 I put foam tape under the splashes so that when I put pictures on, the pictures will fit under.

 Here's my computer screen when I made the splashes. 

I stretched them so that the centers were long enough to fit the stamped words

 
I sponged the edges of the splashes so they weren't too clean looking.

Thanks for looking - now off to Jen's Blog for some more great ideas for this stamp set!
