"I Am Mad About" December's SOTM

If you've just come from Lori Brown's blogfor the SOTM Blog Hop, welcome!  I LOVE this stamp set and can't wait to play with it even more when I have more time.   I especially love that this "Mad About You" set includes stamps that coordinate with CTMH's Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge. Super fun and cute!



Here is what I had to come up with super quickly during this busy month, but I am excited because it's the perfect February page for the 2011 12-month calendar I am designing again this year for a two-part class for some of my clients.  I can't wait to get it on the calendar page and work on the coordinating "FEBRUARY" date page that goes with it.   Sorry, I couldn't do it for this picture - think it would look much better shown as it was designed to be used for.

I just had to use the gorgeous Roxie Paper Packet and lots of Cricut images.  The flowers are stamped using the big heart image from this set in Tulip before I rolled them.  I also used the heart stamp for the butterflies.  The bling pin has embroidery floss wrapped around it to give it some added dimension for the butterflies' body.  I used the heart stamp again in black on the Roxie paper (clearly I LOVE this heart stamp from this set). Finally, I used the rock and roll technique to stamp the "Happy Valentine's Day" with both the desert sand and smoothie inks. 

I hope you like it! I would love you to leave me some comments and even become a follower!!

Also, here's a look at last year's 2010 calendar project, if you are interested and also so you can get a better feel for how this page is going to be used:  http://scrapitraci.blogspot.com/2010/10/2011-calendar-project-finished-loving.html).
