 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 This stamp set is oh SO CUTE!!! J

I chose to use the stamp image with the single fox holding a flower.  My next step was to chose a card design…so I started to look for a design in the WISHES how-to-book…my go to book lately.

Here is the card I created!! 

This card design I found on page 72 of Wishes…and is a part of a workshop collection. 

As I thought of February, and Valentine’s Day…that led me to create with one of our NEW papers….the Ivy Lane Paper pack!  I LOVE the beautiful designs in this kit!!

Did you notice the adorable “border” in the middle of the card???  Can you guess where that came from?? 

It is a ZIP STRIP from the top of one of the papers in this pack!!  I LOVE zip strips! J

For the bracket shape that I placed the fox on, I used a stamp set from the Ivy Lane Cardmaking kit.  This shape is cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, and so I cut a Smokey Plum frame to mat this image on.

You will want to make sure to check out the rest of the contents in this kit!!  There are exclusive embellishments in this kit - gold shimmer adhesive backed tape INCLUDED!! 

One last NEW item I had to include on this card..PINK Glitter paper!! Yay!! 

I LOVE our collection of the 12x12 glitter sheets!!  They cut BEAUTIFULLY with our Cricut cartridges, which is how I created the accent heart on this card.

Here is a list of items used on this card…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The product I chose to share with you today is the NEWEST Scrapbooking Program at CTMH - Picture My Life!!

This program is AMAZING and makes putting your photos together in a snap!!  Take a look!!! 

I created a 20 page album in a matter of 4 hours with these cards!! 

The Picture My Life collection includes…

(44)-4”x6” Cards (2 ea. of 22 designs)

(78)-3”x4” cards (3 ea. of 26 designs)

(1)-12x12 Designed Cover Sheet

(10)-12x12 Memory Protectors (various designs)

All for ONLY $24.95!!!

Here is a sample page of the album I created using this new program.  These pictures are from our trip to see my in-laws this past summer in Florida.

How QUICK & EASY to add pictures into these wonderful sleeves!!  I do want to add journaling to these pictures,... however I’d like to get my children to help with the journaling and get their perspective on this trip. (there were lots of memories created, even though we only had two days of the vacation with no rain! LOL!)

I LOVE the beautiful, CTMH Style, journaling cards that accompany these kits…122 TOTAL cards!!!

After I was finished creating this album…I still had journaling cards left!!!

Take a look!

I LOVE the new My Creations Journaling Cards Box that CTMH created.  This box can hold standard size cards OR this box will hold an ENTIRE pack of Picture My Life journaling cards!! (an entire pack =122 cards…in the picture above  are the leftover cards)

With these leftover cards I plan to use them as gift tags, place on a card front, use them in my traditional scrapbooking and I used a few like this J…
Attach a picture to them and create a quick, simple, beautiful frame! 

I hope you enjoyed this brief peek at the FABULOUS NEW product, Picture My Life!!  Make sure to come back to my blog in the near future to see more details regarding these items!!!
