365 Cherish the Day with CTMH November Stamp of the Month "Cherish the Day"

Welcome to the CTMH November Stamp of the Month blog hop featuring the set Cherish the Day! If you have come here from Angela's Blog, you are on the right path! We have over 50 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. To hop through the whole list simply click on the link at the end of each post in the hop. 

This layout is different from my usual style but I love the clean graphic feel created by evenly spacing the stamped tags across the page.  I wanted to create a layout that celebrates not just one day but all 365 days of the year that I cherish my family.

Here is a close up of the Cricut cut and layered numbers - I've layered a decorative Buttercup cut directly over an Indian Corn Blue cut of the same size and then lay them both off-set on a slightly larger black cut.

And here is a close up of the tags (cut with Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge) and stamped in Indian Corn Blue.  Each tag is numbered with the month in Buttercup - not high contrast but it helps tie in the buttercup buttons, ribbon and top number layer. 

If you'd like to make this project, get these supplies:Paper: Black CS, White Daisy CS, Buttercup CS, Indian Corn Blue CS
Stamps:  Cherish the Day - November SOTM
Ink:  Indian Corn Blue, Buttercup, Archival Black Ink
Other:  Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, Buttercup Buttons (retired), Buttercup Ribbon Round (retired)

Now "Hop" on over to Beth's Blog to see her work!
