So, would you like to see the stamp set? 

Take a look!

Oh my! Is your mind RACING with all of the possibilities of this stamp set??  I know mine is! LOL!!

I know this set is PERFECT for your day planner, or even a scrapbook layout - but today I chose to use this on a card....take a look.  

I chose to create a card with no embellishments except one piece of pixie twine. (yikes!)  Just paper, cardstock, inks and stamps ....a little bit of a challenge to myself, because I ADORE the embellishment part! 

Here is a close up...

I got out my Memento ink pad, and stamped this beautiful Hawaiian Hibiscus stamp set.  Then I pulled out my ShinHan alcohol markers to give some color to these images.  

What paper did I use, you might wonder? 
I used 2 different paper packs - Georgie (chevron) and Kaleidoscope paper pack for behind the flowers! 

I hope you are enjoying this blog hop & are getting LOTS of ideas for when you get your own set of this months’ SOTM stamp set.  Happy Crafting to each of you! J

Now – it’s time to head over to Melissa’s blog to see what FABULOUS items she has created using this stamp set! J

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's take a look at this FUN LOVING stamp set - that's ONLY available this month...

Has your mind started churning as you looked at this stamp set???  So many creating possibilities!!!  

Well, I chose to create a card today - and I used NON-TRADITIONAL "love" colors to make it...check it out. 

I LOVE the soft colors of the Georgie paper collection from Close To My Heart, and that is what I chose to use today.  

This paper pack has 6 different designs to chose from, and can be used for SO much MORE than the baby theme! 

In addition to the "Share the Love" stamp set, you may have noticed my splotches of ink. J

I used the "ink blot" stamp set.  I must encourage you to add this stamp set to your collection!! J It's one of those go-to stamp sets that is something you can always pull out to use and it never goes out of style. 

Here's a close up shot....

I used a lot of our 3D foam tape to create dimension, and my handy exacto knife helped me to "fussy cut" the telephone out to mount on top of the Artiste Cricut cut heart. I used two of the flamingo dots as a finishing touch.

Ink colors used: Whisper, Juniper & Pixie

Before you go - PLEASE NOTE:
