Did YOU KNOW???? 
May is National Scrapbooking Month....yes it is!! 

If you know Close To My Heart, you will remember that we LOVE to celebrate...and celebrating is what we are during in May 2018!!!

We have an EXCLUSIVE collection, only available in May, that is called "Postcard Perfect".  

This collection includes the following items...

(you can click on the photo to enlarge it. ;) )

Make SURE to check with your CTMH consultant and learn more about these beautiful items!!

So...back to our card...I used the Postcard Perfect Stamp set for this card. 

As soon as I saw this stamp set, those BEAUTIFUL palm trees captured my attention!! I KNEW I had to create something with this gorgeous image! :) 

This paper pack, is STUNNING as well!! I don't know if you can see it on the card, but the darker strip on the left side of the card, is the "wave" paper...it does have a FUN wave design to it & looks so pretty in person! :)

Here's a photo I took, where you can see that beautiful wave paper.  

If you look closely at the palm trees on this card, I hope you can see the bit of sparkle on the fronds.  I used our clear shimmer brush to add that shine!

Also - take a peek at the flower, I used the Bashful Shimmer brush to add some pink & some sparkle to the flower center!! 

The pink gems/dots...come from the NEW Documented collection.  The pack includes 3 colors - peacock, bashful & eggplant...so pretty!!

And...who noticed the "Stitched Circle"?  Yes - we have NEW Thin Cuts (metal dies)  ....and 3 of these collections are stitched shapes!! Wahoo!! 

Where did the "thank you" wording come from?  That is from a new stamp set - called Shell Sentiments...check it out!!  (and the 2nd stamp set is another favorite called "Aloha Spirit") 

That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to go CREATE something on your own! :)

For today's creation, I used the MAY Postcard Perfect Special . 
This EXCLUSIVE collection is ONLY available in May at CTMH & is a BEAUTY for sure!! 

This is the make n take we created at my National Scrapbooking Day event yesterday ...let's take a look!   

For the base page we used the lighter side of "Toffee" cardstock.  I used Pattern #9 from our MIFYH vol 1 book to create this 1 page spread.  

This "relax & enjoy" stamp, comes from the NEW Fresh Air - Cardmaking collection...and it fit PERFECT with this page.!!

Look at this GORGEOUS stitched circle below!!!!  Are you wondering if this is something new to CTMH??  Why yes....yes it is!!!!!  

We now have stitched metal dies (we call them Thin Cuts)....and they are available in circles, ovals & hearts! :) 

The flower came from the Postcard Perfect Stamp set...take a look!! I used Smoothie & Juniper inks for the flowers....so pretty & tropical looking :)  

This stamp set can ONLY be purchased in May...and is $17.95
OR....would you like it at a 20% discount? 

Silly question....of COURSE - we ALL love DISCOUNTS! :) 

In May, you have the option to purchase the PRODUCT BUNDLE, that includes the Postcard Perfect stamp set, 12 shts cardstock, 16 sheets of designer paper (which INCLUDED 4 sheets of printed vellum) AND the Cut Above kit...it's a GREAT deal!! Make sure you talk to your CTMH consultant about this FABULOUS option!! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you were INSPIRED today!! :) 

Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Miss Carrie's  Blog to see her beautiful creation!
