April Play Group Scrappin' and/or Card Class Layouts and Cards (Penelope)



The deadline to order your long-distance kits or sign up to attend April classes in person is Saturday, March 12 by 10 pm MT.  Just call or email me to sign up (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com).

We'll be making four 2-page 12" x 12"  layouts using our bright, happy, Springy Penelope papers, as well as adding a 8 card option to the layouts this month.  
  • To create all four layouts, all you need is the Basic Kit. 
  • If you want to add the 9 cards, you'll need to get all or part of the Better Kit  (just order the items from this kit you don't already have).
  • If you just want to make the cards, I've added that option as well.
  • If you are participating long-distance and want to do both the layouts and the cards, you'll want to order all or part of the Best Kit (just order any items you don't already own).  
Hopefully that's clearer than mud (*wink*).  Please call or email me if you have any questions and I'm happy to answer them for you (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com).

April Dates and Times to Choose From:

  • Thursday evening, April 7 from 7-10 pm in Pleasant Grove, UT
  • Friday morning, April 8 from 10 am - 1 pm in American Fork, UT
After the layout and card photos, you'll find the shopping list.  In order to participate, you are only required to purchase the Basic Kit or the Cards Only kit, but you are more than welcome to buy the Better or Best Kits, or to pick and choose from some of those items to add to your Basic Kit.  You'll see the kit totals in the shopping list below. I've also included a products list, complete with photos and links, at the end of this post for your convenience.  Also, please go back and read the bolded paragraph above to be sure you understand which kits get you just the layouts, which kits get you just the cards, and which kits give you both.

Card Buffet Classes in October



What do you think about these cards? You likey?  Well, these are just some of the card kits that are available to make at my October Card Buffets.  I'd love for you to come! These buffets will be held at my home in Springville, UT.  Dates and times to choose from are listed below. I will allow a maximum of 8 attendees at each class so there will be plenty of space for you to work.  When you call or email me to sign up (pedermom@aol.com, 801.360.9896), I'll give you the exact address. 

Dates and Times to Choose From:
  • Tuesday, October 20 from 10 am - Noon
  • Tuesday, October 20 from 7 - 9 pm (THIS CLASS IS FULL)
  • Wednesday, October 21 from 7 -  9 pm
  • Thursday, October 29 from 10 am - noon
Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions:

How does a card buffet work?  Easy!  You come, you eat as much as you want (make as many cards as you want) in the time period of the buffet, and then you go home.

What do I need to bring to the buffet?  Adhesive. That's it. I supply the rest.  I suggest a regular paper adhesive of your choice, glue dots, and 3D foam tape or sqares. Bring plenty of each so you don't run out!

How many cards can I make?  As many as you want in the time period. The only rule is you have to finish each card completely before you move to the next card.

How much does it cost?  You pay by the card. $2 per card, which includes envelopes

How much time will it take to make each card?  That depends on you and how quick you are. It also depends on which cards you choose.  Some cards are a little more complicated, some are simple, and there are some in between.

How many kits are there for each card?  That varies but there are plenty of cards and kits to keep everyone happy!

What does a kit consist of?  All pre-cut pieces for the card, the card base and envelope, all embellishments, and the use of any tools and supplies (other than your adhesives) that are required to put the card together.

What kinds of cards will be available?  A good variety of all-occasion cards, Christmas cards, Thank you cards, birthday cards, etc.

What if I love one card and want to make several of that card?  No problem! I just ask that you take one kit of that card at a time and finish that card before you get out another one.

Is there any way to get my cards at a discount?  Yes!  There are 3 ways. 
  • When you call to reserve your spot, reserve a spot for a friend that has never attended one of my classes or workshops before and I will take .25 off your $2 per card price, which will get you your cards at $1.75 each.  Bring 2 friends, get your cards for $1.50 each, and so on.
  • The other way is to order at the buffet. For every $25 you order (before shipping and tax), you get .25 off the card prices.  Spend $25, get your cards at $1.75 each. Spend, $50, they'll be $1.50...and so on.
  • Sign up for my November Play Group Scrappin' Classes at the workshop, and your cards will be $1.50 each.

Card Buffet = YUMMY


Are you like me? Do you LOVE going to all-you-can-eat buffets?  Am I ashamed to admit that I love them? Definitely not...even if I do fill up my whole plate with scones, again and again. *wink*


Well, if you love all-you-can-eat food buffets, you'll LOVE my card buffets even more!  Yep, it's kind of the same principle. You come and make as many cards as you can eat (create) in the 2 hour time limit. It's $2 per card and all of the cards are designed and pre-cut. You just put them together. There are lots to choose from. You'll get to choose cards like this one, and many more:



When you come to a food buffet, you bring a hearty appetite, when you come to a card buffet, you bring adhesive.  That's it.  I provide the rest.  I suggest a regular paper adhesive, glue dots, and 3D foam tape or squares.

There will be several cards to choose from and you can make as many of each as you'd like during your 2 hour time limit. The cards are $2 each, or $1.50 each if you place an order of $25 or more (before shipping and tax).

I am offering 4 sessions in October, but when they fill up, they are full. I can take 8 participants per buffet.  Call or email me to sign up (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com). You are more than welcome to reserve a spot for a friend, too. Remember that you are taking up a coveted spot, and space is limited, so please be committed to attending if you sign up. Thanks!  All classes will be held at my home in Springville, UT (I will email you the address after you sign up).
  • Tuesday, October 20 from 10 am - noon
  • Tuesday, October 20 from 7-9 pm
  • Wednesday, October 21 from 7-9 pm
  • Thursday, October 29 from 10 am - noon
 Ready, set go!

All Occasion Yummy Card + Great Card Pattern For Using Scraps


I love this card!  Do you know why?  Yes, because I think it turned out cute, but also because it's a perfect card design to use up scraps. Admit it! You have them.  Throwing away even the tiniest piece of paper is like losing one of your children. Right? Okay, maybe not that traumatic, but traumatic all the same. *wink*

This is a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card. Each of the little rectangles that make up the "tic tac toe" board are 1 1/4" x 1".  Grab a blank card, choose a few scrap papers that coordinate, cut them down, draw some lines, and find a fun focal point to add to the corner.  Voila!

I made this card using the National Scrapbooking Month papers and stamps that Close To My Heart is making available during May only. You can purchase one, or both of them on my website, or you can purchase them in the kit that I created (which makes 3 - 2 page 12" x 12" layouts and 8 cards...including 2 of this one).  But, hurry quickly!  They are only availble through the end of May (or while supplies last...whichever comes first).

Sour Faces Layout and Pucker Up Card with Taste of Summer



We at Close To My Heart are celebrating National Scrapbooking Month (May) with a beautiful  matching paper packet and stamp set called Taste of Summer that is only available this month (while supplies last).  Today I am sharing some lemony projects.  The products I used to create them are listed, with photos and links for your convenience, at the end of this post.


Both of these projects are part of a mega-workshop kit that I created with these papers and stamps that you can purchase here (the workshop makes three 2-page 12" x 12" layouts and 8 cards, with lots of paper left over to play with).  Or you can just purchase the paper packet and/or stamp set on their own on my website.
