Later Sk8r PML

 Today I’m going to show you how I used the Later Sk8r Picture My Life™ {PML} kit!! My son’s first year of T-ball was a 3 years ago, and between my mom and myself we have way too many photos!!!! After printing the hundreds {yes, I said hundreds} of photos I had no idea on how I was going to scrapbook these pictures!! They all have been sitting in my photo box since they were printed waiting for me to come up with a creative way to use them!! I knew when I saw the PML kits that was how I would scrapbook all {or at least a large majority} of the photos! The photos below only display a few of the pages that were made just to give you an idea on how I used the kit.

I want to give you specifics on what you get when you purchase a kit. There are 8 different PML Kits available and each kit consists of: 44 – 4″ × 6″ Cards (2 each of 22 designs);  78 – 3″ × 4″ Cards (3 each of 26 designs); 1 – 12″ × 12″ Designed Cover Sheet; 10 – 12″ × 12″ Memory Protectors™ (various designs). There are a few items that you will need to put the kits together, including a paper trimmer, corner rounder, and journaling pen.

Now I did use some additional products {stamp sets, inks, Cricut® cartridge, etc on a few of these pages} to enhance the PML kit, but one of the great benefits of these kits is that you don’t have to use anything other than the kit itself! They look awesome just as they are! Many of the pages above do not have any additional embellishments! Not needing to add extra flair to the pages is a great way to scrapbook a large amount of photos quickly!!

High 5 with Picture My Life

When I saw the most current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, I immediately thought about Close To My Heart’s Picture My Life™ Kits. The kits come with  122 cards in 2 different sizes and you get multiples of the each design.  Because I get multiples I feel I have a little more freedom to use them on multiple projects.

Take a look at the sketch…

…and now take a look at my card.

CTMH: PML Later Sk8r

Starting with a white card base I rounded the corner of a layer of Outdoor Denim Cardstock. Next I grabbed a 3″x4″ card from the Later Sk8r Picture My Life™ Kit. I love the saying on this card….it’s perfect to use for multiple celebratory occasions {including my son’s preschool graduation next week}!! I didn’t have any ribbon that I particularly liked for this card, so I went to my favorite obsession, WASHI TAPE!!! I placed the Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape on White Daisy Cardstock before attaching it to my card. By doing it this way the tape will not stick to itself when I loop it around the PML card. My card has a masculine theme and I thought a button may be a little to feminine, so I added a couple of staples at the base of the washi.

Did you notice that I didn’t do any stamping on this card?!? Another perfect example that you don’t have to be a stamper to use CTMH’s products!!
