Picture My Life Layout

I have been creating more layouts using some of our unconventional products- this one using our Picture My Life pocket scrapbooking cards in my layout.  These are cards from our Later Sk8r set (and even though they paper is retired I had just enough left to use as part of this layout).

The quotes and images on these cards can add the perfect accent touch to your layout- like mine do here for our 4 wheel fun photos.  I also added some pieces and stickers from one of our My Crush Assortments (they are perfect for so many things!).  I finished the layout off with some epoxy bubbles, slate twist ties and a title cut from the CTMH cricut Artbooking.

Here is a close up of one of the cards and you can see some of the My Crush Assortments used as a flag under the card and for the name on the top of the photo.

Scrapbooking with Picture my Life

My daughter turns 3 in a  few months (a fact she never lets us forget as she reminds us every time someone else celebrates a birthday).  First of all I cannot believe how quickly she is growing and changing- everyday she seems a LOT more grown up than the day before.  I decided to chronicle what she is like at 2 in this layout- just to make sure I remember the funny and sweet parts!

  • She is a HUGE girly-girl- loves her dresses, tries to wear makeup (thanks to my Dad for this gift) and is a fan of all things purple, pink and princess (and is pretty obsessed with Minnie Mouse).
  • She has a smile that can melt your heart but also has her serious look- like she can see right into your heart and soul.

To create my layout I used some of our Picture my Life cards (these are part of our pocket scrapbooking system and they have SO MANY great uses!)  They were perfect in this layout for my journaling and to add some nice images and quotes to the overall layout.

In the bottom photo I cut the three hearts out of one of the PML cards and used foam tape to pop them up and add some dimension.

Spring/Summer CTMH Idea Book Reveal: Day 14

Only one day left! WOW! I cannot wait to pick and announce the winner of the hostess rewards for our CTMH Idea Book reveal- you will have till midnight (MST) on the 15th to submit your orders to the party on my SHOP (be sure you ‘join’ the Idea Book reveal party)- the winner will be announced here on the 16th!

Today’s project is a simple one but it focuses on an item that I actually intro ducted in an earlier post as a teaser- our Picture my Life system.  (If you are familiar with Project Life or Pocket scrapbooking then you will be familiar with this style of scrapbooking).

We have come out with 8 different PML kits- each kit features 44 4×6 cards, 78 3×4 cards, a 12×12 designed cover page and 10 memory protectors of various designs.  This allows you to add an album (did I mention we have two new patterns of albums) and you will have a completed book in an afternoon!  This is the answer for those who like the look of a scrapbook but don’t have the time or don’t want the fuss.  You can keep your PML book simple or you can dress it up with some simple accessories like washi tape!

Here are pics I took of 6 of the kits- I have even organized mine in our medium organizer for storage.  This picture shows only the left side of the organizer but all the cards fit very nicely – even with all 8 kits I still have room in the back for another 8 or other pieces (like accessories or pictures) that I might want to take with me when completing one of these albums.
