July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop: American Celebration

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring July's SOTM, which is American Celebration, a set of 12 stamps.  For those of you in Canada, there is a Canadian Celebration available to you from consultants that sell in Canada.  If you have come here from Tonya's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here.




This month we have 64 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

Let's start with a picture of the Stamp of the Month: American Celebration. 


I decided to use the Heart 2 Heart Challenge for this week, as well as Party Time Tuesday in my project, as well as embossing:

And here is the project that I created:
