CTMH-- May SOTM Blog Hop

Hello, welcome to the May SOTM Blog Hop!  If you've come here from Lela's Blog, then you are on the right track.  The hop is one big circle.  Should you get lost along the way, please click HERE.

The May SOTM consists of 17 stamps. It's a darling stamp that can be used for both layouts and cards.  With my daughter going to college in the Fall, I find myself scrapbooking her lately.  I chose to use this stamp to help document her 16th b-day bash.

We went all out for her 16th b-day-- balloons, candy station, floral bouquets, and a 'Cake Boss' inspired cake.  My daughter Shaelin just loved the Cake Boss.  We all spent many hours watching Buddy create beautiful cakes amid all the drama!  Buddy does not live in Boston, so we went to a local bakery, Montillo's.  Although local, Montillo's is well known.  They made JFK cake's wedding cake.

Below is the cake that Shaelin designed.  It tasted yummy!  Shaelin is now 18, but I will never forget that cake and the smile on her face:)

To help create a festive layout, I used CTMH's new paper line called Calypso.  Calypso is  full of fun!

Next up is Helen.  Please be sure to visit Helen's Blog and all the consultants' blogs.
