Life Is Wonderful Layout + 2015 Close To My Heart Convention


Life truly is wonderful.  Isn't it cool that Close To My Heart created the July Stamp of the Month to proclaim that?  I created this layout of Daci at the beach by embossing the frame, words, and arrows in white on black cardstock to create my title.



You can see a supply list, complete with photos and links for your convenience, at the end of this post.

As always, the Stamp of the Month is only available for a month and is only $5 ($12.95 savings) with a $50 (before shipping and tax) purchase.  You can also get it FREE this month. Check out this post for details.

If you look just below the title, you'll see that I selected one of the swirls and stamped it directly onto patterned paper. I loved how that turned out.  I did the same thing on the patterned paper block on the upper right hand corner with the arrow stamp.




I am leaving this afternoon for a week to attend the 2015 Close To My Heart annual convention.  Every year I think they can't top the amazing convention I'm attending, and every year I return for a new convention, and they DO TOP the last one. I can hardly wait to see what is in store for us this week.  I'll be in Anaheim, CA at Mickey and Minnie's house doing CTMH Convention, Disney style.   I'm excited that I will also be presenting a class there again this year using brand new products. I can't wait to tell you all about it when I return next week.

Easter Layout with the May Stamp of the Month

May Stamp of the Month 1-page layout by Karen Pedersen

I hope all of you mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. Mine was just about perfect.  The only thing missing was our Minnesota kids.  Our son, Easton, his wife, Daysha, and their little girl, Sage got into the action on Facetime though and I can't complain.  We got to skype with our missionary, Dawson (who we haven't seen in 2 years, and who will be home in less than a month) and that was heavenly.  Kori, Rick and their kidlets (Daci, Livvi and Street) were here all day and Tannon and his wife, Brookley were here for quite a while too.  For me, the best part of Mother's Day is spending it with the kids that made me a mommy.

Now, let's talk about the wonderful little May Stamp of the Month ("Just Sayin'").




The Just Sayin' set is available in May only, and is $5 ($12.95 savings) when you spend $50 (before shipping and tax).  Spend $100, get two...and so on.  When ordering on my website, you'll be prompted to add your set(s) before you check out.

I shared cards I made with the Just Sayin' set here and here.  Today I'm sharing a one-page layout.  I love the story behind this layout.  I made sure to journal it right on the page.  I am a BIG believer that the memory behind the photos is just as important as the photos themselves.
