Pull Out Box Card with July Stamp of the Month (Blog Hop too!)

Pin It

This month I am so excited to combine my FIRST EVER video with the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  Here is how the blog hop works:  About 70 fellow Close to My Heart consultants all make a piece of art (scrapbook page, card, specialty item, etc) using the Stamp of the Month.  They all include links to eachother's blogs so that anyone can begin on any blog and hop from blog to blog which eventually becomes a big circle. Easy right?!  It is a great way to view many different ideas using one stamp set which is FOR SALE only for that particular month, so don't miss out!  If you've come here from Brae Montgomery's blog then you are on the right track.  Scroll to the bottom of the post to find the link to the next blog. 

Here is my Pull Out Box card using the July Stamp of the Month:

Introducing a new member of our family....

Here's Kona!

We got her on Father's Day and having a new toddler in the house has kept us pretty busy.  She's a Mini Australian Shepard and she is SO much fun and adorable too.  She is a great playmate for the kids as well as a sweet cuddler when she's tired.

Teacher Thank You Gifts

Pin It I made notecard sets for my children's teachers this year.  You may recognize the cards themselves from an original design by Lisa Stenz.  I posted those notecards several months ago here.  There are 6 cards and 6 envelopes inside - two each in Smoothie (shown), Sweet Leaf, and Twilight.  I put them in a clear box (clearbags.com) and added a fun little card tied with a gingham bow.  I snapped a quick picture before the kids headed out to school this morning for you to see.  Happy Summer Vacation!!  I'm so excited for a fun summer!!  What are your summer plans?
