July 2014 Stamp of the Month, Skylark Workshop, and Retiring List

The July 2014 Stamp of the Month, Circus Alphabet, is so versatile for all crafting projects.  It is a complete set of whimsical uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation.  The possibilities are endless, and as a My Acrylix stamp set, placement is never easier!





Each month you can purchase a new D-size stamp set, available for one month only, for just $5 — that’s over 70% off retail! When you place an order of $50 or more in Close To My Heart products, you qualify for this special Stamp of the Month pricing.  Otherwise, you can purchase this set outright for $17.95.









Since I am always in need of Thank You cards, I made the following using the Circus Alphabet set and the beautiful Ariana paper packet and coordinating accessories.  I also used the Art Philosophy cartridge to make the floral centerpiece.




Want some other ideas?  Take a look at this video for other fun uses for this set:





Speaking of inspiring art, I knew that I wanted to use the inspirational Skylark paper pack before moving into the next Idea Book cycle.  Therefore, I created my final workshop for this Idea Book using the Skylark paper pack and coordinating embellishments.

Please join me in making three two-page layouts with the nature-based beauty of this paper (details below):




  • Location:  My home
  • Date/Time:  Saturday, July 26 @10:00 am

  • RSVP:  No later than Saturday, July 12 at joycegough7@gmail.com or 703.791.6821

  • Finally, in anticipation of the unveiling of the next Close To My Heart Idea Book, the retiring list has been announced.  The following items will be retired as of July 31, noting that these are available while supplies last.
