January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Everyday Magic

Welcome!

Glad you could join us today!  A blog hop is just one big loop of fun and creative ideas. So if you're joining me here, grab your beverage of choice, and sit back ready to be inspired by creative ideas for using this new Close To My Heart stamp of the month

If you are coming from Lauren's blog , you are on the right path.  At the end of this post you will see a link to Darlys Recker's blog for you to continue following the hop.  If you get disconnected somewhere along the way, you can find a complete list of blog hop participants here.

The stamp of the month, Everyday Magic, is a set of 17 stamps that I personally like most for scrapbooking layouts of my grandchildren.  But as you go through this hop, I'm sure you'll see lots of other creative ideas for using this stamp set.

For a better view of this layout, click on the picture.

I used several of the small stamps from this set on one block and Carolina ink to randomly stamp the background design on White Daisy cardstock.  I used both sides of the Bluebird cardstock to create this layout (#9) from Make It From Your Heart, Volume 3.  There is more random stamping using other images from this set on the lighter Bluebird.  The stitching was accomplished using a white gel pen.  I used the Sapphire shimmer brush and some clear sparkles to add a little bling to the layout.

 Everyday Magic is available only through the month of January.  After seeing all the great ideas in this blog hop, you're going to want to add this to your stamp collection.  

You can purchase this set for $18.95, or get it for only $5 with a qualifying order of $50 (US) through your Close To My Heart consultant or find it here .

You might also be interested to know a new idea book was released today with oodles of fun new products which you can view here.
