September Play Group Layouts and Cards (Florence)

One of the 4 two-page 12" x 12" layouts we will be making in September (plus an option of 8 cards too!)


The deadline to order your long-distance kits or sign up to attend September classes in person is Friday, August 12 by 10 pm MDT.  Just call or email me to sign up (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com).  Long distance kits will be shipped the first week of September.

We'll be making four 2-page 12" x 12"  layouts using our elegant Florence papers and matching accessories, 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 8 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 attending the class in person, just order the Cards Only option. If you will be making them long-distance, order the Cards Only Option plus the stamp set in the Best Kit.
  • 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).  
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).

  September Dates and Times to Choose From:
  • Thursday evening, September 8 from 7-10 pm in Pleasant Grove, 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.

Fear the Beard Layout


Have you noticed the awesome August special with Close To My Heart?  It's called 'Basically the Best,' well, because it IS!  Let's talk about how it works. We have LOTS of new paper packs (with matching accessories) called FUNDAMENTALS.  They're called that because they are basic and FUN!

In August, when you purchase one each of the Whimsy, Adventure and Enchantment Fundamentals paper packs, you get your choice of either the Rustic Home or Uptown Fundamentals paper pack for FREE! Yep, for realsies...FREE!  Let me show you the papers, then I'll tell you some details about the layout of our son, Tannon above.  This layout actually features 4 of these fundamentals paper packs. I've used papers from Adventure (the purple and turquoise banner strips), Enchantment (the Goldrush grid paper, and the green and maroon banner strips), Rustic Home (the weathered wood paper and the polka dotted kraft binner strip) and Uptown (the black and white polka dot banner strip).  How's that for being versatile paper that's fun to mix and match?  The only pack that's part of the special that I didn't use something from on this layout is the Whimsy collection. Never fear...you'll see some using that as the month progresses! 

Here are images of the Whimsy, Adventure and Enchantment paper packets, as well as the Rustic Home and Uptown paper packets that you can choose for FREE this month!  Just click here for easy, one click shopping for this special.

Now, let's get back to that fun layout.  Not only did I enjoy creating by mixing my FUNdamentals (see what I did there?), but I created a hidden pocket for journaling. See that big Goldrush Grid Paper square that is the focal point of the layout? Well, beneath it I adhered an envelope with the opening flush with the left side of that square. It's just the right size for my journaling on this layout.

Lastly, don't be afraid to have fun with clustering small embellishments.  I added a small cluster in the bottom right corner of the focal point square. It's fun to combine different colors, shapes and types of embellishments. Don't forget to overlap so they "feel" like one big piece!  I've also included a list of all the products I used on this layout at the very end of this post, complete with links and photos for your convenience.  Enjoy!

August Close To My Heart Specials, a New Catalog, and a Crazy Cat Card


Card I created with the August Stamp of the Month (Purr-fect Halloween)


Whew! I think I am hyperventilating with excitement before I even start writing this post. There are SOOOOOOOOOO many exciting things debuting today with Close To My Heart that I'm not sure my heart can take it.  I suggest you sit down to read this, and maybe even put your feet up.  It might be the best way to keep YOUR heart from racing too much!

Maybe the best way to keep this post organized is to list a what I'll be sharing:
1.  NEW CATALOG AND PRODUCTS!!!! (yep, I'm screaming!)
2.  Basically the Best Special (GET FREE NEW PAPER)
3.  August Stamp of the Month

--------------------
1.  NEW CATALOG AND PRODUCTS:   The 2016-17 Annual Inspirations Idea Book is HERE!  It's GORGEOUS!  There are a few things you'll want to know....


*This book debuts TODAY (August 1) and goes through July 31 of next year. It is full of stuff you'll use ALL year long, including TONS of new papers, stamps, embellishments, albums, supplies and MORE! We will also have 3 seasonal supplements that will complement this one that come out in September, January and May.  They will be filled with all of the themed seasonal paper kits and matching embellishments and stamp sets that you need for each season of the year. You can view it page by delicious page here.

*Want one of these publications sent to you? There are a two ways you can get one:  a.  Order $50 or more on my website during August and I'll mail one to you FREE! b. Order one of your own on my website for $6.

*Some items to make note of are:

They are the our new albums (page 10-11), new style of stamp pads (on pages 95-99) and our new Workshop Space Wonder line (pages 88-89).  Everything else is fair game NOW! And, don't worry. I will FOR SURE let you know as soon as all of these little gems are in stock and ready to order.

2.  Basically the Best August Special: During the month of August, when you order one each of our Whimsy, Adventure, and Enchantment Fundamental papers, you can choose to get either the Rustic Home or Uptown Fundamentals for FREE! Both of these Basics packs feature foil designs and specialty materials for making your artwork unique. Yep, this deal is basically the best!



3. August Stamp of the Month (Purr-fect Halloween):  The card at the very top of this post is one I created with this fun stamp set. I'll also be sharing another piece of art I've created each week this month here on my blog. Be sure to keep stoppin' by! I've included a list of supplies I used for this card, complete with photos and links for your convenience, at the end of this post.

You might want to note that I used 2 of our new Fundamentals paper packets (see #2 above for the special this month to get one of these paper packets FREE):  Rustic Home and Adventure.  These fun colors and patterns are so versatile that they can be used with almost anything!



This set is yours for $5 ($12.95 savings) with every $50 you order (before shipping and tax).  Order $100 (so easy to do in this brand new catalog!), get 2...and so on! When ordering on my website, you'll be prompted to add your set(s) before checking out.
