October 2012 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the October 2012 CTMH Stamp of the Month Blog Hop featuring Very Merry Christmas, a set of 11 stamps.  If you've just arrived from {Melinda's} blog, you're on the right path.  If this is your starting point, simply click on the link at the end of each post to hop to the next and see what more than 60 Close To My Heart consultants created with this holiday set.

I felt compelled to use some non-traditional colors in my card today.  Rather than the traditional red and green, I used Creme Brulee, Grey Wool, Kraft, Outdoor Denim, and Twilight.  I followed this week's Mojo Monday sketch, and the patterned papers are from the retired CTMH Aspen paper package.  The colors are much more vibrant in person.  Hopefully Santa will bring me a DSLR camera for Christmas.
