March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

It's blog hop time again!  If you arrived here from Georgia Hauglid's blog, you are on the right path.  When you are ready to continue to the next blogger, you will find the link at the bottom of this post.

This month our Close To My Heart set is packed with 26 Sentiment stamps for Holidays and Special Occasions.  It also includes a scallop border and a set of brackets to frame those sentiments.  I am currently working on a baby album for my grandson who is due the end of March and this set worked great for the 1st Birthday layout in the album.  My plan is to do the entire album using the Caboodle paper packet ... love those papers!  Here's the layout ... I wish I had pictures to show off ... I mean share :).
