CTMH White Pines Picture My Life Cards

Picture My Life (PML) cards are not just for pocket scrapbooking...

The PML cards make documenting any event so quick and easy, 

but they're not just for scrapbooking. 

It's okay to chop 'em up - yep, I said chop 'em up - and apply them to 
traditional scrapbook layouts or on greeting cards, as I've done here.


Each PML kit comes with 20 - 4" x 6" cards and 36 - 3" x 4" cards for only $8.95.  



I added gold Shimmer Trim (Z1985) and matching bow from the
gold Fundamental Assortments (Z3105)

I added a splash of color by splattering some watercolor paint (Z3132)

I applied Fern Thick Twine (Z3093) with a couple of mini staples (Z2027)

Did you notice the scalloped shimmer trim on the "joy to the world" card? You can get that scallop punch at a 25% discount this week only!  You can also stock up on envelopes during the CYBER WEEK SALE. I'm adding those to my list!

Have a memorable day,
Sheila

Coffee Gift Card

I don't drink coffee, but this 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" gift card was the perfect presentation for my Starbucks gift cards. Isn't the little cup and cozy so cute? I think this would be great to present your a gift card to teachers, the school bus driver, hair stylist, whomever you want to surprise. You can find the tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers. The Close To My Heart Chevron Embossing Folder (Z1925) and Kraft paper (Z1375) helped me create the perfect cozy.




Have a memorable day,
Sheila

CTMH Friendship Card

I made this 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" card for a sweet friend of mine today using products from Close To My Heart. The card pattern is called Curtain Call from the Wishes how-to book. I used up some scraps from a retired paper kit called Blossom. The sentiment in the stamp set was perfect, but I've misplaced the set since making this card earlier today - LOL - so I can't tell you the name of it. The Cricut cuts are from the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.  I also custom- made my own envelope for this size card using my Cricut cartridge.

I'm sure my friend will love it. I challenge you to send a handmade card to someone this week.




Have a memorable day,

Sheila
