Happy Times (National Scrapbooking Month)

The month of May means National Scrapbooking Month and happy times!  For the special month, Close To My Heart has created a special Happy Times paper kit and a coordinating stamp set.  Follow along with our Blog Hop to see projects created using the both of these, along with other great CTMH products.                 

If you arrived here from Papercrafting Princess, you are hopping through our circle of Close To My Heart consultants sharing their Happy Times projects. 

Two of my favorite papers in the Happy Times kit are the metallic gold and white stripe that I used for the background of this card, and the gold embossed flowers used as an accent.  The shiny gold inspired me to use gold embossing for an image from the Australian Thanks stamp set.  Following sketch #20 in Make It From Your Heart Volume 1, this was a fun and quick card to create.

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

Congrats ~ in Yellow!

Who can resist pretty yellow flowers?  Following the sketch challenge this month on the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog, this card uses papers from the special Happy Times kit which will be available in May for National Scrapbooking Month.  The fun "congrats" is the Festive Congrats stamp, colored using some ShinHan Touch Twin markers.  This stamp which will also be available next month when the new Seasonal Expressions catalog is released.  A bit of Shimmer Trim and some new sequins add a bit of pizzazz.  

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).
