Here is a card I created using the February Stamp of the Month and the new Topstitch paper pack. This card is a good excample of how nice the stamped image looks without any color.

Now here is a scrapbook layout I created and it shows how nice the stamped images look colored in. I've also added some glitter and liquid glass to the cupcakes. I will be posting more cards created with this special stamp set tomorrow so be sure to visit again!

I am also very proud to announce to you a fabulous campaign that Close to my Heart is hosting all month long in honor of Haiti.

It is called "GIVE AND GET BACK."

From February 1-28, 2010, our 12" x 12" textured cardstock combo packs are buy one, get one FREE-and with every offer purchased, Close To My Heart will donate $2 to Operation Smile's Haiti relief efforts. Operation Smile is always a fantastic charitable partner-offering free facial reconstruction surgeries to needy children throughout the world. They've currently marshaled their medical teams and resources to provide emergency relief in Haiti, and the donations given as part of Hearts for Haiti will be used exclusively for Operation Smile's efforts in Haiti. For more information on their on-the-ground response, you can visit www.operationsmile.org/haiti.
