Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring September's SOTM, which is Fall favorites a set of 11 stamps. If you have come here from Teresa’s Fabulous Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.

This month we have 60 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!

After seeing all the beautiful blue denim scarecrows I decided I needed to change things up a bit. 
Sept SOTM Fall Favorites CTMH with Art Philosophy Flirty and Moonlight

I used a combination of the new Alcohol Markers & the classic watercolor markers CTMH uses!  Both are very fun to blend with!  That blending pen makes all the lines go away like magic! 
It’s an easel card I made on my Gypsy.  I welded two identical label shapes together along the top/short edge to make this card.  After cutting I scored and folded it in the middle of the cover to make the easel.  I love easel cards because a couple of extra folds and you have a 3D card!
