Today I wanted to share the 1st post of a mini album created with Picture My Life (PML) cards!  

This book was a gift that was created by the FABULOUS Close To My Heart art department!!  

These people AMAZE me with their talents and I was so EXCITED to receive a bunch of gifts to be handed out last fall at my team’s Thriving/Striving 30 contest that we WON as a team!!!

(CLICK HERE to read all about this MAJOR celebration!) J

This book is bound together by a piece of cardstock for the spine, and for attaching each individual PML card to the spine.

If you haven’t tried our PML line yet – here is just ANOTHER great way to use this BEAUTIFUL product!! J There are MANY different kits to choose from!!  The album today uses cards from the Wanderful & Seaside PML.

This is in an adorable mini-album, that includes 20 pages!!  I will be sharing them here today, but if in case you are short on time, feel free to move forward to JOYCE HOUCK’s Blog to see her fabulous creation!!

This album is a 4x6 album – the size of our largest PML card. 

Take a look at the 1^st & 2^nd page…

Do you see the spot labeled 2x3?  That is a page that SWINGS itself!!!  That is a 3x4 PML card, attached to the binding.  Love this added dimension throughout this book. 

Take a look….the fish card is the other side of the 2x3 photo area.  

Here is a close up view of the AMAZING detail in this album... 

Pages 3 & 4

The word “Adventure” is from the Wildwood Sticky Tabs.

The “You are my Happy” is one of our mini-stamp sets!!! J 

Pages 5 & 6

The Wildwood plastic clips, some Chalk-it-Up Assortment pieces, and a few stamps, make this a BEAUTIFUL set of pages!! 

Pages 7 & 8

Please come back and join me again NEXT WEEK, as I share the rest of the pages of this beautiful album in Post #2! J
