Be Yourself Card and Mojo Monday

I decided to play along again this week with Mojo Monday.  I, of course used some papers from the Free To Be Me Paper Pack (only $5 {$17.95 value} this month with each $50 order you place). Who wouldn't use this paper? It's just too yummy to resist!  This 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card was so much fun to create!

Can you see the shading on the feather? I first stamped it in Lagoon ink, then colored right over the top of the ink with a blue watercolor pencil to create a little shading and depth. I finished it off by outlining it in black with a black scrapbooking pen.

Don't forget that this month is National Scrapbooking Month. When you place a $50 order, you not only get the Free To Be Me Paper Pack for only $5, you also get the May Stamp of the Month for only $5 ($17.95 value).  Just head on over to place your order on my website. You'll be prompted to add your Stamp(s) of the Month and Paper Pack(s) before you check out.

May Stamp of the Month

The products I used on this card are listed (with links) at the end of this post for your convenience.

I thought it was the perfect card for this girl who graduated from pre-school this week. How did our little granddaughter, Daci get old enough to graduate from pre-school?

It seems like just yesterday she was this size.

Speaking of graduations, we also went down the first part of the month to Cedar City to see our son, Easton graduate Magna Cum Laude from Southern Utah University with his Bachelors in Hotel, Resort and Hospitality Management.  He has already begun work on his Masters.  He still has one year of football left to play, and should have most of his Masters of Public Administration done when he is done playing football next year. We are so proud of him.  He not only graduated with honors, but during his college career he has been a starting receiver on the football team, got married in his Sophomore year (2010) and he and his wife Daysha had their little Sage last August (2013).

June Play Group Scrappin' Class Layouts (Ariana)

It's time to unveil the lovely layouts we will be making in my June Play Group Scrappin' Classes using the soft and feminine Ariana papers from Close To My Heart. You can participate in person or long-distance.  If you want to attend a class and participate in person, I need your order no later than June 1. If you are participating long-distance, you have until June 10 to get your orders to me.   (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com) 
  The Ariana papers may seem only feminine, but the back sides to many of the papers are very versatile, so much so  that you really could use them for just about anything.    Although I chose to use these papers for faminine layouts, you could certainly change them up for something a little more masculine just by flipping papers over.
Dates and Times in April to choose from to attend in person:
Wednesday morning, June 11 from 10 am - 1 pm in American Fork, UT
Thursday evening, June 12 from 7-10 pm in Pleasant Grove, UT 

After the layout photos, you'll find the shopping list. In order to participate you are only required to purchase the Basic Kit, but you are more than welcome to purchase the Better or Best, or add a few of those items to your Basic Kit.  You'll see kit totals along with the shopping list.

Feel free to click on any image to see it larger and in more detail.  For each layout I have included the layout with photos, without photos, and some detail shots. You might also notice that on the layouts without the photos I have listed the size of each mat for your convenience in choosing and cropping your photos.
