November SOTM Blog Hop - You Warm My Heart

If you have come here from Gina's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. 

If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog

This month we have 22 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. 

I've been playing with some scraps left from my Woodgrain paper pack, mix-in paper pack and the Comfort & Joy paper collection...

We are starting to move along with our home renovation, permits have been approved and our builders are starting full steam ahead now! Upgrading the electric service from the street to the house and we decided to trench and bury the wires instead of overhead...inspection approved so that means I got to back fill the dirt...so much work!

I LOVE all our new wood shapes and of course our Story By Stacy alphabet stickers which work for almost all my projects!

I have only touched on this month's Stamp of the Month, You Warm My Heart S2011, with the coffee cup and Nordic Star. It has such a winter feel to it but it worked even in this layout.

I used our new Stitched Fancy Brackets Z3686 to create the journaling spot from patterned paper.

I've used our Spectrum Noir markers to colour in the flowers from the Positive Thoughts D1951 stamp set which is an exclusive set by Melissa Esplin. I used the Black marker to colour the top of the White Foam Alphabet Stickers, so versatile!

Small detail with these little Nordic stars and the coffee cup in this set but very effective. I was happy with how this layout came together with leftover papers and stamping some great images. 

I am very new at colouring and shading and these markers make if very easy to play with, three shades in one marker! Seriously, how cool is that...and economical too!

Thanks for hopping along with us today, I hope you are inspired by all the creative Makers so far?!! 

Now you need to head on over to Pam’s Blog!
