 This month we have around 11 Close To My Heart Makers/Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. 

Can you believe that today is the beginning of a new year?  Well with a new year, I have set some creative goals and one of them is to get photos onto my layouts and to get all these photos that I have printed scrapbooked.  So, what started out to be a card turned into a double page layout of my oldest.  This stamp set is perfect for so many things and 1 of those things is recognizing the special people or moments in life.  I will be adding my journaling of these special things to the squares with the flower border.  My almost 15 year old would appreciate not everyone seeing it.  LOL.

I used the new Sweet as Honey paper collection as well as the Sweet as Honey Digital Art collection to create this layout.  I cut the hexagons & the stencil for the inked background with the Digital Art collection.  So, if you have a machine that can cut SVGs you are good to go with this collection.  I love to use our how to books and used pattern 4 from the Make It From Your Heart Vol. 1 book.

I stamped the cute little mouse in Intense Black ink and then used Avocado, Sundance, Mink ink pads and a water brush to colour with.  I stenciled on Mink Cardstock & inked the edges with the Mink ink pad and added doodle lines with the .03 black journaling pen.  The sentiments were stamped in the Sundance ink.  I love the strips of the Black Ore paper.  The title is cut in black cardstock using the New Slim Alphabet Thin cuts.  I also added some bitty sparkles and clear sparkles. 

Here is the Process video for how I created this layout.

I hope you enjoyed this layout and I would love to hear what you think of it.
