Yesterday, I shared with you CTMH's White Pines Workshop on the Go which is an easy way to create your Christmas cards. This week, I want to continue to share cards that can easily be made with the White Pines collection, but that focus on the Picture My Life cards. If you are unfamiliar with Picture My Life cards, these are cards that were originally designed for Pocket scrapbooking at it's very best - each card is either 3" x 4" or 4" x 6" with rounded corners and easily slides into pocket page protectors along with your photos that are also cut to 3" x 4" or 4" x 6". That being explained, I have found that I love to use these cards in traditional layouts, for little lunch box notes, and to create handmade greeting cards with! This is what I want to feature on my blog and show you this week. I have taken the White Pines Picture My Life cards and created Christmas cards that you can easily reproduce or tweak to make your own.
