44 4x6 cards (2 each of 22 designs)
78 3x4 cards (3 each of 26 designs)

All this for just $24.95!  What a great bargain!!! 

What makes this program so easy and quick?  The page protectors are divided into 6x4 and 4x3 pockets so it's easy put a photo or a card in each of the pockets and then .. TA DA!!  it's done!

It's also easy to create your own cards with leftover bits and stickers.  Jessy is working on her new kit today (baby cakes) and shared some tips.

The pocket sizes are great... you can get six 4x6's or twelve 3x4's out of a 12x12 piece of cardstock (and it's easy to make many combinations) and scraps go a long way with Picture My Life kit.  (thanks to Dulce and Mom)!!  Another tip is to sort the cards by vertical and horizontal orientation.  Also, the corner rounder (Z1912)  was her favorite tool. 

Here's what Jessy did...  

 One 12x12 page protector the back of the 12x12 has the look of pockets... 

 This page protector is design 4 (4 horizontal 4x6s and 4 vertical 4x3s)

 This Page Protector is design 5 (3 vertical 6x4s and 6 horizontal 3x4s)

 Look this is design 5 but turned upside down... cool huh... 

 This page protector is design 3 (4 vertical 6x4s and 4 horizontal 3x4s)

 Jessy designed a 3x4 card on this page using scraps. (see below for a bigger photo of it)

 And she created an 6x4 card on this page. Check below for a bigger photo.

She did this whole thing in about an hour or so... still needs photos but it's ready to go after the little one is born. 

Here's the closeups...
