Aug SOTM Blog Hop - Baroque Borders

Welcome to the first Stamp of the Month for the Autumn Winter 2012 Idea Book Blog Hop !
If you've come from Gina's Blog , you're still on the right track -- and THANKS for your endurance!  There are 59 blogs in the hop and you're still going strong!  YAY!

Here's my project for this month - a Memorial Layout for a wonderful actor (who I just LOVED on the screen and off of it) - Andy Whitfield (Spartacus) who recently passed away after a long battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.  I used our chocolate embroidery floss, durable studs (round and square), Mocha gems,  Sanding Kit, Liquid Glass, CTMH Metallic markers,  Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge, and Color Ready Alphas. The paper pack is Heart of Winter, retired by CTMH -- but it matched his dazzling blue eyes..LOL!

  I stamped the baroque border stamps on LOTS of the embellishments -- Can you find all of them??  Leave your guess in the comments below, along with your *LUV* before you go :)

Your next stop is Melinda's Blog 


 Hope you enjoyed the layout and I'll see you again soon!
