Picture My Life for Cardmaking

Earlier this week I posted my part of the Joyful Stars Blog Hop about using the Picture My Life scrapbooking program for cardmaking. This is another card I made but didn't want to post then, because it was for a fellow CTMH consultant who visits my blog! Her birthday is today and she should have received it in the mail by now.

Materials:
Picture My Life™ Skylark Scrapbooking Program (Close To My Heart)
Base & Bling Teal Jewels (Close To My Heart)
Just Blooms Paper Flower and Leaf (Retired Close To My Heart)
Large Green Gem (unknown)
Gelly Roll Stardust Pen (Sakura)

Joyful Stars March Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars March Blog Hop. This hop is a circle, so it doesn't matter if you are coming from Cindy's blog or if you start here on my blog. Just continue around until you're back to the blog that you started on to make sure you see all the fabulous projects. 

My project this month features the Picture My Life Scrapbooking Program.

That's right I said scrapbooking program, but I'm showing a card! I need a couple of birthday cards for this week and didn't have a lot of time for creating. The cards from the Picture My Life program are perfect for that. Of course I am looking forward to using this system to scrap pictures too! This card uses the Picture My Life™ Avonlea Scrapbooking Program.

Here's an organization tip for anyone using pocket scrapbooking, like Picture My Life or Project Life. Our Medium Organizer work perfectly for storing all of your 4 x 6 and 3 x 4 cards!

I have three Picture My Life kits so far and a set of cards from Big Picture Classes for a class I am currently taking. Plenty of room for more kits or if I'm travelling to a crop I can put my pictures in here.

I found the card dividers on Amazon.

Thanks for stopping by! Now it's time to hop to Nickie's blog for more inspiration. For a full list of bloggers on this hop or in case you get lost on the way look here.

A Special Birthday Card

Recently a coworker commissioned a handmade card from me for her aunt's 90th birthday. I just received some of the new paper from our Spring / Summer 2014 Idea Book and thought Ariana was a great paper for this occasion. I think it is my favorite from this Idea Book.

Pixel Scrapper's March Blog Train

The theme for this month's blog hop is Country Wedding. I love the color palette of purple, blue and green! I took some family photos and used them with my kit to create the layout above. Whether you have wedding or other photos to scrap I hope you can find this kit useful. Also, I love making cards so here is another example with my kit.

I might play around with the design of this card. I mostly wanted to test how the lilacs look when printed! There are two previews but just one download you can get here. If you're just stopping by my blog you'll want to check out all the designers contributing to this month's hop. They're listed here.
