Welcome to July's Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the stamp set
"Storybook Alphabet" - a set of 26 stamps, which makes sense as there are 26 letters in the alphabet! Alphabet stamps are such a great addition to any stampers' library of stamps - they can be used for cards and scrapbook layouts! The bloggers along this blog hop will certainly show you many ways to use this stamp set, so sit back and enjoy the tour.
You should have arrived here from Haley Dyer's blog.
If you get lost, a list of all blogs can be found on Melinda Everitt's blog.
The stamp set looks like this.
I chose to use this stamp on a layout featuring my doggie, Mika. She will turn four years of age on July 14th. How time flies!
I found a layout design that I really liked on Pinterest but it used diamond-shaped photos. The pictures I wanted to use were cropped very close (I wasn't the one who originally took the photos...) I ended up losing much of the original pictures to use these, so they ended up being very CLOSE UP pictures... And yes, I still have the originals for other purposes!
The flowers were all cut from the Flower Market cartridge and the title was coloured using a combination of our ShinHan and Sharpie markers and then brushed with our Clear Shimmer Brush. Mika is a very friendly dog so I wanted the colours to be bold to reflect her personality. She is just 6 pounds but is all love and excitement bundled into a tiny package.
This is a close up of the title.
I hope you enjoyed my project.
