Welcome to the Picture My Life (PML) blog hop. This post is actually "Take 2" since I closed the site instead of posting it, I lost it and am now doing it over! Ah, such is life.
Anyhow, PML cards by Close To My Heart, are the answer to all your paper crafting needs! This blog hop will only touch the surface of the versatility these 2-sided, sturdy cards offer. So, whether you've come from the talented Martha's blog, or are starting here...enjoy!
Inspired by Amy's beautiful kraft book, I created a smaller version for my daughter to use for one of her little getaways. The Close To My Heart products used were Wanderful and For Always PML cards as well as small amounts of Wanderful paper, arrow washi tape and gold sequins. For right now twine holds it together, but that will be replaced with rings and ribbon.
Another way to use PML cards is in a photo album. You don't even need to scrapbook them, (although you could.) Just slide them into pockets for pizzazz, or add an antidote to remember a story. How about "love notes" in children's lunchboxes or a special person's laptop/purse? What if you framed an arrangement of cards for a wall or shelf? Oh the possibilities...
Thank you for visiting and please continue on to Cheryl's blog. She had crazy fun designing her project!
Stay warm -

Happy Easter!
Here comes Peter Cottontail...
When I first saw this box card pattern 2 months ago, I knew immediately that it would be just the thing for Easter cards. The LollyDoodle paper pack from Close To My Heart screamed spring to me. The little eggs are actually a balloon mini stamp, I just cut off the tie and string. I will admit making 8 did take me some time, but I'm not the fastest worker and the results were worth it!
Happy Easter!

APRIL Pineapple Paper Artist Blog Hop
Hello All and welcome back to another wonderful blog hop brought to you by the Pineapple Paper Artists! We're a fun group of ladies who share laughs and a love for paper crafting. You may be coming here from Amy's Pineapple Paper Artist blog or starting out here. Either way, enjoy taking in the talents and ideas of the group.
I've created several cards for you. The paper is CTMH's Lollydoodle. A handful of scraps were in front of me and I wanted to see what I could come up with. The stamps are CTMH minis, priced at only $2.95. A little shimmer tape, bling and watercolor pencils, pulled them all together.
Please continue on to Cheryl's Creations With Style and enjoy the artistry of my fellow Close To My Heart consultants.

Happy Halloween!
If you're like me, you still have candy in the house, so the way I see it, I can still say Happy Halloween. Besides, if it's still Halloween, then maybe time will slow down a little. Haha, I'm not even fooling myself. I am well aware that in a blink of an eye, it'll be Christmas. Regardless, I would like to share with you the Halloween card I sent out to family and a couple friends. I figured that if I spent the time to put so many steps into creating the card front, I needed to make the inside more than basic. I liked the result.

Challenge Accepted
I so enjoy the women I'm with at CTMH Team Meetings held by my second upline. We played abit with the October Stamp of the Month - Scandinavian Wishes. I will admit, this stamp set wasn't "my cup of tea." Amazing how opinions change when you give something a try. This simple little gift tag was made by stamping the sentiment and and the border stamp as stripes on an ornament shape cut from a CTMH Cricut cartridge. A little foam tape to adhere it to kraft paper, a little baker's twine, and call it done. Making many would be quick and easy to do, while adding a special touch to gift-giving.
Enjoy and THANKS for visiting!
