Picture My Life Blog Hop - Put Your PML Cards to Good Use!



Today we have a fun blog hop for you - and it's one of my favorite things!  Using those Picture My Life Cards!!  If you came here from Brandi Robinson's Blog, you are on the right track!  This hop is big circle so when you get back to me, you will have completed the hop!  Look for the next blog to hop to at the bottom of my post.

Originally, the Picture My Life cards were created to make scrapbooking easier for those that didn't want to 'scrapbook'.  It was a quick and easy way to make your albums look great just by adding the beautiful cards along with your photographs into pocket pages.   Many people still use them that way today.  But leave it to CTMH Consultants to find OTHER ways to use these cards!  When these cards were introduced, consultants began creating cards with them because they were a QUICK way to make some beautiful cards!  I, for one, LOVE using them this way. 

Close To My Heart's paper packs include 2 sheets of paper that are cut apart PML cards.  The great thing about these cards is that one side can be used vertically and the other side can be used horizontally.  Awesome, Right??   After I've created my layouts using the papers I always have leftover scraps and PML cards.  So, it only make sense to use everything I can!  Today I'm sharing a card I created from my leftovers of the Gimme Some Sugar paper pack!  Can you tell which THREE PML cards I used??


Two were probably easy to pick out.... but the third one?   I cut out "LIFE IS SHORT" from the 4x6 card (see below) to use as part of my sentiment!  



Here are all the supplies I used to create this card:
White Daisy Cards & Envelopes Value Pack - X254*
White Daisy Cardstock - 1385
Gimme Some Sugar Paper Pack -X7228B*
Gimme Some Sugar Cork Shapes - Z4153*
Gimme Some Sugar Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts - Z4156*

I hope you enjoyed my card!  Let's see what other creative PML things are in store! Hop over to Michelle Loncar's Blog and see what she has created!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
