CTMH January Special - Live Your Day

Thank you for joining us for my Team Blog Hop where we are featuring this month's Constant Campaign, Live Your Day.  We are not done celebrating National Papercrafting Month and are doing so with the Picture My Life Live Your Day scrapbooking program, only available for 11 more days (through midnight MST on January 31, 2016).  

These fun cards are great for inserting into your Everyday Life Planner or can be translated into cards, scrapbook layouts and truly, whatever else you desire.  If you are coming from Sheila's Blog you are on the right track.  You can find a list of hoppers by referencing the list at the bottom of this post.  So...let's get started!

The base of this artwork was created on one of the fabulous pages of the My Crush Everyday Life line that coordinates perfectly with the Live Your Day cards.  The sentiment was cut out of our Cricut Cartridge and then backed with Purple Glitter Paper.  Believe it or not, and you will see below, the ribbon "flags" were cut from the bottom of one of the other cards and the little journaling spot was trimmed down to highlight a special moment from a happy day.  I think I am ready to add my thoughts to it now.

Here is a photo showcasing the card where the "flag" was cut and the letters cut from the card that can be used on another project.

Thank you so much for stopping by and now head on over to Scrappin Katy to see what she has in store for you!

National Papercrafting Month Blog Hop - Live Your Day

Did you know it is National Papercrafting Month?!  Well, it is and Close To My Heart has released these exclusive pocket scrapbooking cards to help you celebrate!  It coordinates perfectly with our new Everyday Life Planner that was recently released.  The cards are 4" x 6" and 4" x 3" and the images are the same on both the front and the back, allowing you options as you create with them.  You will see how I incorporated them below.  Aren't they fun AND gorgeous?!

If you are coming from Kirsten's Blog you are on the right track.  You can find a list of participants by clicking here should you get lost along the way.

I used two of the 4 x 6 cards, "Follow Your Heart" and "Don't Quit Your Day Dream" to make the focal points for these two pages in my new planner.  It is a goal-setting layout while reflecting on some fun and success I experienced towards the end of 2015.  The layout was created on the My Crush Everyday Life Pages that were designed to fit in the Everyday Life Album.

Gold Sequins, Aqua Shimmer Trim, and Purple Gem Hearts were added to the left page for some dimension and bling.  A gold sticker - the heart inside the scalloped circle, from our Fundamentals Sticker Sheet, was added to the corner.

All of the same products were used on the second page.  I love the Fundamentals Basic Gold stickers and you can see I have used them throughout the spread. The "tabs" were especially fun to use and the one on the right, that says 2016, is on a PML card.  It is interactive and contains my journaling for the layout.  The light purple matte, behind the Don't Quit Your Day Dream" PML card is layered on another PML card from the Live Your Day pack.  I added some white "Glitter Paper", from our beautiful and great Glitter Paper Packs just for some added bling.  (We offer it in a variety of colors and it is top-quality!  No shedding on your projects nor tabletops!)

I hope you love this as much as I do and again, the photo does not do it justice (no matter how hard I tried).  I love looking at it and I think it will be the continued inspiration I need all year to achieve my business goals through Close To My Heart!
