Winter simply refuses to leave us here in Ontario, but that doesn't mean we cannot dream of sunshine and warm breezes. Some days, that's the only thing that helps me cope with the cold! :) So this hop is featuring some wonderful projects that have a touch of summer and warmer weather, created by talented members of the Brae'ers CTMH team.

MY PROJECT:
Feeling the sunshine with Picture My Life "Surf's Up"
 |
| Every PML kit comes with a cover page to start you off! I added some stamps and embellishments too! |
Almost three years ago, we started a huge project in our backyard -- the installation of an inground pool for our family. Dubbed "The Great Big Hole Project", this adventure lasted most of the summer, from the installation of the pool itself,to the landscaping, to enjoying, at last, the oasis we created.
Naturally, I took TONS of photos of this project. And I wanted to document the adventure in scrapbook form, but it was overwhelming -- so many pictures, so many stages. So when Picture My Life was introduced, I knew it was the answer I was looking for. This album took mere HOURS to complete and I'm so happy with how it turned out.

| The back of the cover page looks just like it was made up of cards! Washi tape, stamped images and more add some pizzazz! |

| Cards and photos combine to tell your story. I rounded the corners of my photos to mirror the shape of the cards. |
 |
| It's amazing just how many photos you can use and showcase with a PML kit. It's really so much fun! |
 |
| Don't forget to TELL your story. Journaling cards are an important part of PML kits and are so easy to use! |
It's not finished yet -- I still have a few more photos to add, and I plan to intermingle some traditional scrapbooking layouts in with the PML pages to make this into a real keepsake for my family. Long live the Great Big Hole -- I can't wait to get into it again this summer!

ReplyDeleteI started working with my PML kits a few weeks back and am thrilled how quickly the pages come together. Great way to document a important part of your families story.
ReplyDeleteIf this doesn't say "summer", I don't know what does! A swimming hole on a hot day... Great choice and a super job using the PML program. I am anxious to get my hands on one of these kits now :)
