September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Hi, and welcome to the September stamp of the month blog hop. I'm so happy you have joined us this month. Whether you have come from Dawn's blog or are just starting here, you are in for a journey filled with inspiration. We are featuring "Thriller" a set of 9 stamps. There are almost 70 very talented Close to my Heart consultants ready to show you how "creepy" this stamp set is. Be sure to make the complete circle; you won't want to miss any of it.

 
 
I have to admit, I struggled with this stamp set and I'm not really sure why.  Maybe I just can't wrap my head around the idea that fall is around the corner.  Oh well, it's coming ready or not and so is my crazy card.  Beware it might be scary!!!  LOL!

  
 

 

 
The card is a 6 x 6 format. Patterned paper is from the new "Hooligans" pack. The black cardstock was stamped with versamark and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder mixed with prisma glitter. I stamped trick or treat on the ribbon and added the new Licorice opaques gems. The sentiment and the skull were heat embossed with black EP.  Then I sponged the colors around it.
 
Well, I hope I didn't scare you too much with that one!  Now hop on over to Alison's blog...I'm sure she has something great to show you next! If you get lost along the way, you can see the entire list of blogs on my previous post. And, don't forget this stamp set is only available for the month of September, so order yours here today!

A Little Halloween Fun

I just received some of my new Close to my Heart products and just couldn't wait to use them. One of the stamp sets I got, is a new Halloween set called "Spellbound". For this weeks Unscripted Sketches 19 design, I used the Spellbound set, except for the moon. Even though Spellbound has one, I used the one from October Word Puzzle which is bigger. The tree, (which I love) bats and moon were all embossed. Other products used are: patterned paper, Pinecone Press and embossing powder from Sparkle and Sprinkle.

Well, the summer is over for me. Tomorrow I head back to work, so I won't get to play with the rest of my goodies for awhile. Oh well, that's what weekends are for I guess. : )
