"It's the most wonderful time of the year." Is that song suck in your head now? Are you thinking about the holidays or are you thinking about the allergy medication commercial that has been airing on television and streaming services lately? To be honest I was very disappointed the song was used this time of year for medication, but now hearing it makes me smile. I just wish the heat and humidity would stay away. We could have average temperatures for the rest of summer and I think that would be a huge win. I hope you are happy with the weather wherever you are reading this.
So, why did I say "It's the most wonderful time of the year"? It is Stamptacular at Close To My Heart. More on Stamptacular below, let me tell you about the Stamp Of The Month first.
June 2022 Stamp Of The Month I Heart Summer
 |
| I Heart Summer—June Stamp of the Month (S2206) |
I Heart Summer (S2206) is an exclusive D-size set of 7 stamps. I Heart Summer is available only during the month of June 2022. The stamp set can be free for CTMH VIP Customers who place a qualifying order during June. Those who are not CTMH VIP Customers can place a qualifying order then purchase the stamp set for only $5. Everyone qualifies for additional sets at $5 for each additional $50 spent on the same order. I Heart Summer is also available for $18.95 with no other purchase required. The recommended CTMH My Acrylix® Blocks for this stamp set are: 1" × 6½" (Y1005), and 2" × 6½" (Y1010).
The CTMH artists created this two-page layout with the SOTM I Heart Summer:

This is where I tell you that I have been lucky enough to see the July–September 2022 catalog (yes, the next catalog is valid for three months). If you love to scrapbook your time at the beach or at the pool (or summer vacations in general), you will want I Heart Summer to use with the Beach Party collection in the next catalog. I think they will work together beautifully.
Please join the CTMH Artwork Showcase Facebook group (this replaces the SOTM Blog Hop) to see what CTMH Makers created with I Heart Summer.
