Welcome to the July 1st Blog Hop - the place to be to see some fun creativity! If you have hopped over from Cathy's Blog These Eager Hands you have seen some beautiful work. This is a great big circle of Rose Blossoms sharing their passion for Close to My Heart.

This Hop showcases the adorable July Stamp of The Month Life is Wonderful and here is the WONDERFUL deal....

During the month of July, when you purchase $25 in current, retail priced stamps, you qualify to receive either the July Stamp of the Month, Life Is Wonderful, FREE or any one of the Hostess Rewards stamp sets featured in Annual Inspirations 2014–2015 or Seasonal Expressions 2 for only $5! That is a savings of up to $17.95 USD / $19.75 CAD!

If you have followed along with other Rose Blossom Hops, you will notice that my heart leans a lot towards layouts. In my world, it is so important to preserve your memories on paper and have them for many years to come. This is what I envisioned when I saw this awesome stamp set:

It was so fun to create this 2 page layout. The sentiment on this stamp set will be a great fit for so many layouts or cards. It tells it's own story and I love that about this set. I paired the SOTM with the stamp set Wavy Blooms. Coloring with our ShinHan Markers really added some pop to the flowers. The Archival Black Ink on the white cardstock worked well and also the White Ink on black cardstock gave it a chalkboard look.

My husband and I just celebrated our 36th Year of Marriage this June. We have made some pretty awesome memories over the years and I'm so blessed with our lives together. Family means so very much to me and Close To My Heart makes it so easy to preserve our Family memories.

Close To My Heart is always 'spot on" with all the Latest & Greatest in Paper Crafting. Top of the Line products and accessories at reasonable prices. Can't get any better than that.

Another Awesome Rose Blossom Blog Hop!

Welcome to the 1st of the month's Rose Blossom Blog Hop. This is one big circle of gals on the RB Team who love to papercraft. If you have come from Morgan's Tweet SCRAPS Blog I'm sure you have seen some amazing artwork and talent.

This time we are all featuring our creations with this darling June Stamp of the Month.

Ice Cream Dream

Each month you can purchase a new D-size stamp set, available for one month only, for just $5 — that’s over 70% off retail! When you place an order of $50 or more in Close To My Heart products (excluding purchases made in Studio J^®), you qualify for this special Stamp of the Month pricing.

This stamp set is perfect for many things...birthday invites, place cards for a backyard BBQ party, cards, and in my world...a little mini album using The Kraft 3-Ring Album . This little album is only $5.95 and can hold many, many pages of your important events, recipes, favorite pictures or anything you decide.

The pages are all cut from the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge and hold several of my favorite pictures of our children and their children. They are all precious SCOOPS of Ice Cream that fill our lives with happiness.
