If you have arrived from Nancy's blog you are right on track.

Today I wanted to share a way for you to use our NEW (and exclusive to Jan 2016) Picture My Life (PML) pocket cards!!J

I've been ENJOYING decorating my Close To My Heart 2016 planner, and I still have a lot to-do to complete this task....HOWEVER, when I saw these PML cards, I KNEW I wanted to incorporate them into my planner.

So - let's check out what I've added to my CTMH planner....

My 1st page of my planner...   

I often like to "try new things" so made a fitting caption to the beginning of my 2016 planner!! 

The "2016" came from our retired Nov stamp of the month stamp set. 

Also - you'll want to note the FUN arrow washi tape that I've used on these pages.  I didn't use any other adhesive...just washi to attach my PML cards!

Next - I created some ADDITIONAL pocket pages using CTMH's Artbooking Cricut collection.  Yay - for our EXCLUSIVE Cricut cartridges!!!  

I cut this pocket in white daisy cardstock, and then wrapped some of our Charlotte paper around the front of the pocket.

You will see in the following pictures, that I used some other NEW products that were just released on January 1, 2016....

>>>>NEW Springtime Wishes stamp set

>>>>>NEW Springtime Wishes thin cuts

>>>>NEW Charlotte paper pack

Take a look at the left side of this picture below...

this is the back side of another pocket folder I created.  In this case, I chose to background stamp this, so that it would "blend in" with the 2016 Planner design.  

Ink colors I used throughout these photos are....

>>Pixie
>>Sorbet
>>Juniper
>>Thistle
>>Champagne
>>Whisper

and Black (Memento - tuxedo black) 

When attaching the PML cards to the pages, I tried to use the washi tape as a "hinge"....so that the top card would "swing open" and I could write down some journaling on the inside of the large PML card. 

And last....I REALLY wanted to have a way to look at upcoming dates for birthdays, at a glance.  So...with the INCLUDED "months" PML cards, I created these birthday page reminders that I will be able to use YEAR after YEAR!! 

I wanted to use both the NEW 4x3 photo protectors & the 4x6 ones too - SO....this is what I came up with. 

Again - by SIMPLE embellishing - just stamps, thin cuts & inks... I was excited how these turned out. J

So - now that you saw this PML cards in use....what does the January Close To My Heart special all include??? J

This collection includes 56 different cards & they can be used in a planner, OR in any way you'd like!!  

They are ONLY $8.95 and are available until Jan 31st OR While Supplies Last.  

Here is the collection of cards....

Keep in mind - --- each card has the SAME images on both sides!!  

The one side the wording/pictures are horizontal, and the other side is vertical.  I LOVE that CTMH creates our pocket cards this way!!

Make sure to contact your CTMH consultant to get a pack of the "Live Your Life" pocket cards today!! J
