Convention, Here I Come!

I am headed out today for the annual Close To My Heart Convention! This year it's in Anaheim, CA (DISNEYLAND!).  Yipeee!  You won't be hearing from me for at least a week, so don't think I have dropped off the face of the earth...instead I am at the happiest place on earth. Combine Disney and CTMH and it's off the charts, people! This year's Convention theme is "The Artistic Adventure" and I'm seriously ready for an adventure!  Eeeeeeek! I'm so excited!  (Note: This post may have just set the record for the most exclamation points in one paragraph).

Here are a few pics from last year's Convention:

The 3 Amigos with the 3 Amigos

It's become tradition that I take this same photo every year with these 3 peeps with our brand new catalogs.  I'll be sure to post this year's when I get home.

It's nice to be a Director...Senior Executive Director at that. I am pretty proud of what I have achieved with CTMH!

With my Minnie lovin' pals

I'll tell you all about this year's party when I get back!  Don't forget to check out this post for all of the June specials while I'm gone.

Wedding Sign In Album for Heather and Xavier

Title Page

Daysha's sister, Heather and her fiance, X are getting married in about a week and a half. Aren't they a beautiful couple?  They asked me to do the sign in book and I knew I had to get busy. Like seriously busy. Like get jiggy wit' it! I leave for Anaheim, CA (Disneyland) for the Close To My Heart annual convention on Monday morning and get back 2 days before the wedding. I had about  24 hour period of time to get this little puppy put together. Operation HURRY!  Well, thanks to Kori's help, I did it! Thanks, Bug!  YAY!  Done!  And, I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I hope they will be too.

For those of you who are wondering what the heck this is for, this is in the place of a traditional guest book. Instead of signing on a little line in a boring old guest book, everyone signs on the pages of this book. It really turns into a beautiful keepsake! As you can see there is a lot of white space. That's where everyone signs.

July Play Group Scrappin' Class Layouts (Jubilee)

It's time to unveil the lovely layouts we will be making in my July Play Group Scrappin' Classes using the Jubilee 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 July 1. If you are participating long-distance, you have until July 10 to get your orders to me.   (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com) 
 
 The Jubilee papers are bright and happy and have a hint of County Fair flavor.  They are great for picnics, camping, pioneer activities, or any photos that compliment the bright, cheery colors of the collection.   I chose to use them for a bit of everything!  Daci had a pioneer field trip for her pre-school that was perfect on these papers. So were the bright, bold photos of Daci taken on her 5th birthday and the cute 6 month photos of Sage in her denim dress. 
 
Dates and Times in April to choose from to attend in person:
Thursday evening, July 10 from 7-10 pm in Pleasant Grove, UT 
Friday morning, July 12 from 10 am - 1 pm in American Fork, 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.
