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

For today's creation, I chose to use  the PML cards called Picture My Life Cards - Be-YOU-tiful.  

Here is my set of 3 cards I created.

What a FUN collection of PML cards turned into cards! :)  I created a workshop of 10 cards for my upcoming class & today shared 3 of those cards that used the same stamp set.  

*****PLEASE TAKE NOTE*****

These BEAUTIFUL, PML cards will be retiring at the END of this month!! Please make sure you talk to your CTMH consultant if you haven't had a chance to get these yet! 

The stamp set I used on these 3 cards is the Notes of Inspiration stamp set.  Isn't this a GREAT stamp set?? 



To create these cards, I added the following items to the pack of Be-You-tiful PML cards: 
Juniper Cardstock
Bashful Glitter paper
Peacock Stitched Ribbon
Sparkles
Bitty Sparkles




I also used the Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 CARDMAKING How-To-Book for 2 of these cards.  Take a look at pattern 16 & 22...I love how easy it is to use our sketch book to create quick cards. :)  









Here are a few close up images of the 3 cards above.  
I used Peacock & Pewter inks to stamp the sentiments...so fun!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you were INSPIRED today!! :) 

Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Vickie's  Blog to see her beautiful creation!

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

Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in January 2018.

This stamp set makes me think of SPRING...and I chose to pair it up with a BEAUTIFUL, new paper collection that was just released today - "Chelsea Gardens".  

Here is the card I created for today. 

Look at those pretty blues & greens...our green "Sweet Leaf" has been my favorite green for so long!! 

 I also chose to pair up these papers with our "Color of the Year" - Bashful!  I used some Bashful glitter paper, pearls AND the NEWEST addition of a Bashful item - Bashful Glitter Brush!!! 

We also have some beautiful NEW ribbons in the Seasonal Expression 1 mini catalog that was just released. You'll see here that we have a grosgrain gray ribbon - Hooray!! I love adding a touch of ribbon to all of my papercrafting creations. 

  

I took this picture in the sunlight to try and show you the shimmer & sparkle the Bashful Shimmer Brush created...here's hoping you can see it! :) A piece of the Bashful Glitter paper is to the left, and each of the leaves on the seed packet, were colored in with the Bashful Shimmer Brush.  

Lastly, the heart was stamped in Bashful ink, onto the lighter side of our Bashful cardstock.  The heart was then colored with the Bashful Shimmer Brush....that's a LOT of Bashful going on! :)
