The Share the Love stamp set is wonderful,  it is filled with adorable icons and loveable sentiments, this stamp set will be a beautiful addition to your collection. The stamp set is $27.00  but Close To My Heart will  donate $7 USD*  to Operation Smile™, an amazing organization that provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates for children all over the world! 

This card was a joy to make, I took inspiration from a card I found on Pinterest. I combined the Share the Love stamp set with a previous Operation Smile promotion stamp set, "Precious Smiles" W191 which you can buy for just $10.00 from my CTMH online shop, just clink on the link at the side of this post. I stamped the children with Black ink then added just a little colour with the Shin Han markers. To finish off the card I added the "Share the Love" and "Love You" sentiments and a fussy cut camera. 

To help with the placement of the stamps, I first stamped some of the images on copy paper to make a mask. This allowed me to stamp a second image close to the first without stamping on top of the first image.

My second project is a layout of my niece's daughter Xanthe's visit. It's a must that I take lots of photos of the great nieces and nephews whenever I see them. My sister loves baking with her grandchildren and it just so happened that Xanthe's visit coincided with my sister's granddaughters visit with her.  

                                         

                                              My last project is a rather simple hello card.
