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

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!

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

If you have arrived from the talented Nancy Brown’s blog you are right on track. 

This month I wanted to share a mini album we created at Convention this year.

Take a peek at the cover of this album…

now, check out the inside page…

Did you look closely?  Can you see what’s this album is created from? J 

This ENTIRE album is created from leftover Picture My Life (PML) cards!! 

While you won’t find a PML card like the cover (that was created especially for all CTMH attendees J), the rest of the cards WILL be found in the Chalk It UP PML collection!!

A complete PML kit includes…

44 – 4" × 6" Cards (2 each of 22 designs)
78 – 3" × 4" Cards (3 each of 26 designs)
1 – 12" × 12" Designed Cover Sheet
10 – 12" × 12" Memory Protectors™(various designs)
These products are acid-free, lignin-free, and buffered.

 

While using the Picture My Life program is a GREAT, FAST way to scrapbook…the kit itself has MANY uses!!  Use these adorable cards as gift tags, card fronts, on traditional scrapbook pages...the list goes on & on. J

To create this mini-album, we added a few 4x6 cards of kraft cardstock- as extra pages…and we used the stamp set HERE WE GO for some added designs. 

The Chalk It UP assortment pack was the PERFECT addition to add a bit of color here & there.

Take a look at a few more of the pages.  J 

On these pages, we stamped the airplane image from the stamp set.

The inside back cover of the book…we added a square of black cardstock & a Chalk It Up “hello” bubble. 

While these are not all the pages, this is a GREAT sample to see how little you need to add to create a WONDERFUL mini-album!!

This month at CTMH, they have a GREAT special with PML kits!! 

When you purchase a PML kit, you are eligible to receive a 10 pack page protectors for ONLY $3!! (retail value is $9.95) 

Please talk to your own CTMH Consultant
