February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

CTMH’s February Stamp of the Month: D1453 Friendship is an fabulous Damask style stamp set.  Damask styles are really HOT right now and you can use these stamps to create your own patterned paper. I can see myself using this stamp set a lot!





Here’s the complete list of all the participants in the CTMH February Blog Hop. If you get lost along the way or want to refer to it over and over again – this is the place to come.

Club Layouts

Here are the 2 layouts we will be creating this weekend for our monthly Stamp Club and crop. I changed the layouts a bit but still used the supplies that came in the WOTG kits. I hope you enjoy them.

The first one showcases my youngest daughter Cassidy. I am constantly telling her to brush her hair and will be so glad when she cares about the way she looks ALL the time, not just every once in a while but at the same time I realize that my "baby" will be growing up and that is bittersweet. These pictures were taken on Thanksgiving Day at my cousin's house. She had asked me to straighten her hair that morning and was more than happy to model for me since she knew she looked good. LOL!

It has become an annual tradition to go to my mother's house sometime before Christmas so all the grandkids and great grandkids can decorate her tree although it is becoming harder and harder to find a time when everyone can come. Uunfortunately this year my nephew and his wife and baby couldn't make it. Still, we had a great time. We start out the evening with dinner and then everyone starts pulling out their favorite ornaments to hang. Mama has several LARGE boxes full of ornaments that she and Daddy have bought through the years. Some are very old and fragile...and get broken. It's so sad! After we have made them finish what they started (why do kids never want to finish decorating the tree?) we always take a picture in front of the tree.  This layout highlights some of my favortie ornaments.
