Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring June's SOTM, which is Tender Tags, a set of 15 stamps. If you have come here from Misty's Blog, you are on the right path! If this is your first stop, you may want to go back to Jena's Blog(www.livelovelaughscrapbook.blogspot.com) and start from the beginning!
***
This month we have 42 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!


Here is my card I created using the June Stamp of the Month for CTMH. I used the Moon Doggie papers. The card is 3X6. I colored my flower using cranberry reinker and our white daisy paper flowers. I embossed the "Thinking of you" to make it stand out a little more. Now hop on over to Anne'sBlog(http://www.anniemuses.blogspot.com) to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the June SOTM is only available until June 30th!

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful weekend. Trent and Lori started off by giving me an assortment of perennials to plant in my flower garden by my front door. I had my Open House for CTMH in the afternoon for the new Idea Book. We made fun cards and 2 page layouts using the new Bella papers. While I was having my Open House, Ralph planted my flowers for me.

On Sunday morning, I went to church with the beautiful 2 gardenia corsage that Ralph gave me. I think I was the only mom at church that had a corsage, so I felt really special. That afternoon, Lori made cubes steak for dinner, Trent made mashed potatoes, Heidi cut up fresh strawberries and cooked fresh green beans and Quinci brought some wonderful rosemary bread for the dinner. Heidi gave me some Pampered chef goodies I needed and Shawn gave me a gift card to buy more fun craft things at Michael's.

I am so blessed with my husband, children and their families. I thank the Lord everyday for all that I have. I talked to my Mom on the phone to tell her I love her also. We are all so blessed.

Sad News

I'm sorry to report that my son-in-law, Lucas, lost his mom, Ann, on April 29th. She died suddenly of a heart attack. She was a wonderful grandma. She had a sewing business and made such cute clothes for Sydney. She will be missed by all who knew her.

My Open House that was scheduled for May 2nd was postponed because of the funeral. I will be having it this Saturday, May 9th from noon till 4 pm. Please stop by and make a fun card with us.
