It's Your Day Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to our National Stamping Month Blog Hop!  
Here at Close to My Heart, we want to celebrate the everyday moments in our lives.  Close to My Heart is doing that by offering an amazing exclusive double-stamp set called “It’s Your Day”.  This is two D-size stamp sets in one!! 
This amazing set has nearly 50 images designed to inspire you to capture your life one day at a time.   There are trendy chevron backgrounds, classic images as well as versatile phrases.  You can get your own stamp set for only $5 with a qualifying order of $35.  This stamp set has a value of $35.90!



We're so excited to be doing this hop and we have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies. There will be lots of fun projects.

If you just happened to come to this blog, you should start at the beginning at Lucy's blog - http://www.love2createitall.com.

 My project is ...

This double page layout using the "It's Your Day" Stamp set and the "Dottie for You" paper pack. I also used the butterfly cutout from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (Z1686), pg. 41 in different sizes. The layout came right out of our new How To Book: Make It From Your Heart- Volume 1 (9035) pg. 4.
