Blooming Flourishes: Project Inspiration Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book

Cards Made with May SOTM - Friendship Bouquet

I've been having too much fun with the May SOTM!!!  I'm going to post what I've done so far but I have alot more ideas for this stamp set!!!  Let me know what you think....

I wish I could rotate the cards above... I tried something a little different with these two cards.  I colored the center of the flower before I stamped the flower.  I like the effect.

The flowers above were stamped on colored paper then cut out.  The semi-circle designs on the two cards is from the April SOM - You Are.

so do you like the card that is pure black and white or do you prefer just a touch of color?

 

Again, the card with the pink flower should be rotated... the patterned paper at the top of the card is from the Roxy paperpack.

What's New???

Thought I would update you on a couple of changes...
 - First, my CTMH website has been re-designed
    - it now has a look and feel similiar to the main Close to My Heart website
    - when I have gatherings planned, you will see the gathering notice in the bottom right corner.  You will be able to click on that link to place an order for that gathering.  You will still receive the ez-invite notices - this will just be another way to place your order. 
    - Check out the new and improved site!!!

 - Second, I wanted to give you a heads up that beginning April 1st  you will be receiving a monthly newsletter.  You will be able to opt out if you choose but I think this will be a great way to get you the latest promotion information, stamp of the month ideas and much more!!!  If you have placed an order with me, whether on my website or at a party, and I have your email address you will automatically receive the newsletter.  If you know someone that would like to receive the newsletter, they can simply create an on-line account on my website.
