Family Layout with Roxi Papers




Yes, it's true.  3 posts in 4 days. Pick yourself up off the floor and dust yourself off. 

Yesterday, I put this layout together for a layout swap we are doing on my Close To My Heart team.  There is nothing that brings me more joy than my family. It is so much fun to watch my beautiful daughter, Kori and her handsome husband, Rick be parents and real 'grown ups.'  Their three children (Daci-3 and the twins, Street and Livvi-3 months) have stolen my heart and I have a feeling it will never be mine again. Every grandchild that comes along will get a piece of it.  Grandmotherhood ROCKS!  I know I've said that before, but it bears repeating!

Here are a couple of detail photos:

"Amazing" Card and Stamp Set and Paper Pack....Oh My!




Today I wanted to share another card (supply list at the end of this post) made with this month's dynamite Stamp of the Month (You are...).  I had lots of fun creating with this set and think it's such a great set for not only cards, but layouts as well. I love it when I find a set that is dual duty like this!

April Stamp of the Month Set (You Are...)

This stamp set is only $5 ($17.95 value) with each $50 ordered this month, before shipping and tax.  And, when you add that to the OTHER wonderful special this month, the Dotty For You paper pack (yours for $5 with each $35 you spend and worth $19.95 per pack), you can get some GRRRRRR-eat shopping done.
As you can see I used 3D foam tape to lift my circle focal point piece and also the star. I love the look of a little dimension! You may have also noticed that I had fun layering the pattern stamps to create my own pattern.

Here's a quick little reminder about the Dotty For You special:
From April 17 through May 31, you can get this BEAUTIFUL "Dotty for You" pack of 24 cardstock weight patterned paper (different prints on both sides). This pack is valued at $19.95 and can be yours FREE, or for only $5.   

There are three ways to get this pack:

  • Place an order of $35 or more (before shipping and tax) from the Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book and add the Dotty for You paper pack for only $5.
  • Host a gathering (in your home or just collect orders) with sales of $400 or more (before shipping and tax) and in addition to your already wonderful hostess rewards (at least $60 in free products plus at least one half-off item) you will also receive the Dotty for You paper pack FREE!
  • Join Close To My Heart as a new Consultant and receive a Dotty for You paper pack FREE!

Here is a photo of the papers. Remember, there are TWO of each pattern you see. The front sides of these papers are full of fun, colorful designs. The backs are all polka dots in coordinating colors.  STINKIN' CUTE!


Let's do a little math (don't worry, no thinking involved. I already did all of the addin', subtractin', and percentage figurin' for you!)
  • If you spend $50, then get the "You are..." stamp set for $5 and the "Dotty for You" paper pack for $5, you are getting $87.90 in products for only $60Not too shabby.  
  • If you purchase $70 in product, then you can get one stamp of the month for $5 ($17.95 value) and TWO (one for each $35 you spent) Dotty For You paper packs ($39.90 value) for $5 each. That's $127.85 in products for only $85.  Even less shabby!
  • If you purchase $90 in product, then you can get 2 Dotty For You paper packs ($39.90) for $5 each and that will put you at $100 in product, which qualifies you for 2 Stamp of the Months (one for each $50 spent) for only $5 each. That's $165.80 in product for $110. No shabby there at all!

"Dotty For You" Workshop

Did you see my last post about the amazing Dotty For You paper pack that you can get from now until May 31 FREE or for only $5 ($19.95 value)?  Well, be sure to check it out! It's dottarific!

ANYONE who buys or gets a pack free is invited to participate in this workshop (Two 2-page 12" x 12" layouts and 10 cards and envelopes), either in person or long distance.  And, it's VERY reasonably priced! Here's the scoop: to participate you need to have a Dotty For You paper pack (which you can get between now and May 31 for FREE or for only $5 {see this post for details}).  In addition, you must purchase at least the Basic Kit.  After that, anything you choose to purchase is up to you. Keep reading for details and close-ups of all of the projects...

In designing this workshop, I took a look at some of the projects that Close To My Heart designed with the paper pack, and the went from there. Both of the two page layouts include one of the pages that CTMH designed as well as a companion page designed by me. I did make a few little changes to the CTMH pages to keep costs down.  A couple of the card designs also came from Close To My Heart and I just worked them a little bit to keep costs down a bit.

You can click on any photo in this post to see it larger and in more detail.

May "Play Group" Scrappin' Class Layouts (Footloose)



May Play Group classes will be here before you know it (May 10 and 11), so NOW is the time to sign up. I'd LOVE to have you come to one of them, host one in your home with your friends, or even participate long distance. I'm confident you would enjoy what we do and be very happy with the projects you make!  Keep reading...

I need to hear from you no later than this Saturday, May 5 if you want to participate.  We will be making three 2-page 12" x 12" layouts using the "Footloose" kit that are so much fun. I have used them for photos of the recent Hawaiian Cruise that Dawson and I took together.  They'd also be great for swimming photos, vacation, poolside, beach, summer hikes.  The list is endless.  Just call or email me to sign up (801.360.98896, pedermom@aol.com).

Here are the layouts (click on any photo to see it larger and in more detail). I've shared the details of the class, the kits, and how to participate after the photos. If you are not familiar with my Play Group classes, scroll down the left side of my blog until you find the section called "Play Group Information" and read away!  Enjoy!

Layout 1: "Splash Zone" 


 --------------------------

Layout #2: "Here Comes The Sun"
------------------------

Layout #3:  "Paradise Found"

Class Dates and Times to choose from:
Thursday, May 10, 7-10 pm (this class is in Pleasant Grove, UT)
Friday, May 11, 10 am - 1 pm (this class is in American Fork, UT)

You can also host this workshop in your home (in Utah) with your friends during the month of February and earn FREE hostess rewards (free CTMH shopping spree!) while you do it. If you are interested in doing that, please contact me (801.360,9896, pedermom@aol.com) and I'll give you all the details.

You can also participate in this workshop long-distance. If you choose to do so, just add $5 to the cost of whichever kit you choose for the extra shipping.  I suggest if you are participating long-distance that you at least order the "Better Kit", and any stamp pads we are using that you don't already have.  If you participate long distance, I am happy to stamp the items using stamp sets that aren't in the kit for you since you probably won't have the stamp pads and alphabet stamp (unless you order the "Best Kit"). That is my little gift to you if you participate long-distance.

Remember, in order to attend, you only need to purchase the Basic Kit. Anything above and beyond that is totally up to you. This month, I suggest you consider the Better Kit. The few items I've added there make a huge difference to your pages. If you already have any of the items in the Better or Best kits, just bring them with you to class.

May Play Group Shopping List (for your convenience, I have linked each product to it's page on my website so you can see them). You are only required to purchase the "Basic Kit" to participate. Anything above and beyond that is totally up to you. I personally recommend the "Better Kit".

Basic Kit
  • Footloose Workshop on the Go Packet (includes Workshop Stamp Set, Footloose Paper Packet, 2 extra sheets of White Daisy Cardstock, Wooden Badge Buttons, Instructional Brochure)
  • Karen's Cutting Guide
  • 1 extra sheet of White Daisy Cardstock
  • 1 extra sheet of Sweet Leaf Cardstock
Total:  $34.50 (add $5 to participate long-distance)

Total: $57.07 (add $5 to participate long-distance)


Best Kit + Basic Kit + Better Kit + the following products
Total: $115.51* (add $5 to participate long-distance)
