 If you arrived here from Lauren's Blog, then you are in the right spot.  The blog hop is a big circle, so you can start here and work your way around.  If you get lost along the way, Melinda's Blog has a complete list of all the participating consultants.  

 There are about 11 Close To My Heart Makers/Consultants sharing their creations using Pocket Cards/PML/Picture My Life Cards and other great CTMH products on their blogs. 

I did a Facebook Live this morning showing both sides of all the cards in the Pocket Card Perfection special (Party Time & Lovely) if you want to see it go HERE.

I decided to create a layout using the Party Time PML cards and a few photos from almost 11 years ago of my son's Birthday.    I used Pattern 4 from the Make it from you Heart Vol. 3 book to create this layout. 

Right now we have the Cardstock Carnival also happening so I decided to mostly pair the Party Time PML cards with some of our cardstock and show off the white core of our cardstock.  If you want to see a video of how I did this you can go HERE.  I used Nectarine cardstock with an older CTMH embossing folder that is almost like the Cascading Dots embossing folder.  The 1/2" strip is Charcoal cardstock and I used scissors to edge distress the edges. I used Green Apple for the base, Sapphire for the mat and used a scoring tool on them for the lines.  I brought out the white core by sanding them.

I had to run the paper through 2 times in the embossing folder to do the full 12" strip.  I love that our embossing folders have a slit at the top so you can just slid it through.  Here you can see what it looked like before & after sanding it.  Which effect do you like better sanded or not sanded?

I just got some of the Copper Ore paper and WOW.  I love it, just an 1/8" strip has such impact.  I will be using this lots.

I love the scored journaling lines, such a fun look. If I need more I can add a few more.

I fussy cut along the scallop of this card to create this part of the title element.  I did the stamping on White Daisy cardstock with Nectarine ink and inked the edges with Sapphire ink. The stamp set I used was the Pennant Banner Alphabet.  I added the nd with a Black 0.05 Journaling Pen.  The striped paper is from the Party Time Paper Package.

 

I just love how this turned out, I was able to personalize this PML card.
