August Play Group Scrappin' Class Layouts (Skylark)


 It's time to unveil the lovely layouts we will be making in my August  Play Group Scrappin' Classes using the Skylark 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 30. If you are participating long-distance, you have until July 10 to get your orders to me.   (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com) 
 
The Skylark papers are classy and gorgeous with a hint of fun flavor.  I love that they can be for beautiful, classic photos, or even swimming photos, depending on what you have. They are so versatile.  I've used them for a little of everything. 
 
Dates and Times in August to choose from to attend in person:

Thursday evening, August 7 from 7-10 pm in Pleasant Grove, UT    
Friday morning, August 8 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 (except the green one on the right side of layout 1. I forgot to label that one. It's 6 1/4" x 4 1/4").

Love You Card with the July Stamp of the Month




Hello! I created this fun little card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") with the cuter than cutey cute cute July Stamp of the Month (Circus Alphabet).  It was quick and easy.  The supplies I used are at the bottom of the post with links to my site.

I used colored pencils to color in the "LOVE" letters. I colored the entire letter with a lighter green and then shaded the top of each letter with a darker green. I love Close To My Heart's watercolor pencils. You can use them with water, or just as a regular pencil (as I did on this card).  

One other little tip. You may notice that the wooden arrows are the bottom of the card are a dark brown (to match the chocolate ink I used as well as the woodgrain washi tape). To get this look I just colored the natural wood trinkets with a brown sharpie. Nifty!

This darling set of 68 stamps (uppercase alpha, lowercase alpha, punctuation and numbers!) is only $5 ($17.95 value) with a $50 purchase (before shipping and tax), and is available during July only.  You can place your order on my website 24/7 and you'll be prompted to add your Circus Alphabet before you check out.  Easy Peasy!

July Stamp of the Month: Circus Alphabet ($5 with a $50 order). Carrier sheet actual size is 6" x 6"

Simply Inspired Blog Hop: Skylark 6" x 6" Card


Welcome to another Simply Inspired Blog Hop!  I love being part of this group of talented Close To My Heart women and that periodically we can all combine our talents to give you a hop that is sure to inspire. This time we've chosen to focus on the gorgeous Close To My Heart Skylark products. Did you know that the Skylark Paper Pack, Skylark Complements Dimensional Elements, and the Skylark Assortment are just a few of the products that are included in the New Consultant Kit?

If you have come here from the kind-hearted, artistically endowed Bren Yule's blog you are on the right path. This blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultants here.




I chose to create a 6" x 6" card.  I used the Skylark Paper Pack and the Skylark Assortment, and mixed and matched in a few other fun Close To My Heart products that I thought complemented the Skylark line beautifully.  At the end of this post, you can find photos and links to these products on my website.

I especially had fun mixing in  the two My Crush Bluebird Memories Assortment.  These little packs are great for your My Crush books, but are great for cards and scrapbook pages as well. I find myself pulling them out whenever I need a fun accent somewhere on a project.  The fleur de lis background, hello square, purple flower (which I fussy cut from one of the little cards int he pack), and the someday strip all came from this packet. And, at only $4.95 for 26 journal spots, alphabets, stickers and mini-envelopes, this little ditty is a STEAL!


You may have also noticed that the bird, the tag, and the striped banner strip are all part of one of the background and texture papers in the Skylark Paper Pack. I just cut those little puppies out and used them as  I would a stamped image.  Voila!


I also brought in the new Chevron Embossing Folder to add some texture to my White Daisy Cardstock side strip.  In fact, our last Simply Inspired Blog Hop featured the new assortment of folders if you want to go back and take a peek.  There are several other products I've chosen to mix in and you can see them all at the bottom of this post. One of the things I love about Close To My Heart is that they create collections that have products that coordinate beautifully (like the Skylark collection) but also create stand alone products that are perfect for mixing.



Don't you love how the Memories My Crush Assortment brings the colors of Skylark together with a vibrant purple? I do!

As always, I've used lots of 3D Foam Tape to create texture and interest to my project. I love how much visual interest that adds to my cards!

Now hop on over to the beautiful Blythe Shupe's Blog to see her work!  Be sure to visit all of the Close To My Heart Consultants in the hop to get some great crafting ideas.  There are 15 of us hoppin' this time and you won't want to miss a single project.
