July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Shaunna's Passionate About Pages, you are in the right place, if you arrived here by chance glad you stopped by. To continue the hop click on the link at the end of this post.

The July stamp of the month is Storybook Alphabet S1707 and what a great stamp. This alphabet stamp was so much fun to use. You can stamp it in black ink and colour with the Shin Han markers as I did or there are so many other options.


I am still behind on completing my family albums but I am slowly catching up. I decided to use this lovely stamp to make my title page for my 2017 family photo album. I decided to just use two colours for all of the stamping and colouring in. I used various stamps sets for this project, but pride of place is my title which I stamped then coloured with Turquoise Blue Z2465 and Golden Yellow Z2452 Shin Han Markers. I also stamped and coloured the first letters of the two sayings. The other images were stamped using Lagoon and Canary Ink.
