S1705 Live, Laugh, Love Australasian Stamp of the Month Blog Hop
Welcome to the May Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop. This is a circular hop. If you arrived from Maz's Blog, you are in the right place. Simply read through this post and click on the link to the next blog at the end of it. Keep reading and ‘hopping’ until you find yourself back where you started from. Each blog will showcase a project featuring the Live, Laugh. Love (S1705) stamp set which is May's Stamp of the Month.
Doesn't this stamp set just make you want to grab some snaps of your smiling family and friends and make a gorgeous page? I sure did! I have a collection of happy snaps we took disembarking at each port on a cruise and when I look at them I laugh at the sweet memories we made together living life and loving being together.
The layout is taken from the Cherish Ideas Book. It's the first one in the book. I chose the layout because it had 3 places for embellishments I knew would suit the 3 words on this stamp set. Looking through the NEW collections launched today in Seasonal Expressions 2, I knew the bright colours of the Prickly Pear collection would be perfect for these photos.
Begin stamping the words as shown. You have 3 word panels and extra words in alternate colours. I used Emerald, Tangerine and Blossom inks. Cut some of the extra letters out and layer on top of the word panels using thin foam tape. The letters are super easy to cut so this doesn't take long.

Once the layout is complete, embellish with the bright Prickly Pear sequins. Double the number of photos on this layout by adding Flip Flaps. The layout remains clean and uncluttered and the Flip Flaps provide a fun interactive element for your album readers.
Before you move off to the next blog in this hop, let me share a little tip if you make a mistake like I did. I cut one of the smaller yellow pieces the wrong size and had it glued down before I realised. Rather than waste the paper, I used the Rub & Remove eraser to take the adhesive off and popped the paper back in my packet.
You will find a list of the products used on the layout at the end of this post.
Live, Laugh, Love (S1705) is only available during May, 2017. Full retail price is $27 but you can have this gorgeous set for just $7.50 when accompanied by a $75 order. Place your order with your Close To My Heart Consultant.

Happy Scrappin’
