Hello 😀

Yay!  It’s Friday!!  We have big plans to relax and get caught up on rest this weekend.  This week has been exhausting.

Are you enjoying the NEW release at MTME?  Today I’m showing you an old template, Round and Round, with new stamps and paper.  I love mixing and matching products.  Possibilities are endless!

I love this cute little puppy face.  You can find her in our Paws-itively Sweet set.

This paper is in the Pampered Pet pack.  You will see my colors are different than the originals.  I changed them using Photoshop Elements before printing.  This is one thing I LOVE about digital paper!

Now the card…

Both the sentiment and image are in Paws-itively Sweet.  This set is perfect for pet lovers!

Happy November 1!  😀

It’s RELEASE DAY at MTME!  I have a fun candy dish to show you…

Isn’t it CUTE?!!  I used our NEW Crazy for Candy template.  This template contains both a cat and dog option.  I used the dog template and made it longer to have a reindeer face (and trimmed the ears!)  Easy.

The antlers were made using Holly-Day Accents.  I crumpled them up and edged them in white glitter.  The berries are coated with Crystal Effects to make them shiny.

I also added glitter to the lashes and nose.

It’s such a fun gift package!

To make the nose, I colored a wooden knob with Copics then sprayed it with a gloss sealant.

I used Fun Fur for the hair.

A complementing card…

You can find the sentiment in Dashing Through the Snow, and the paper in Candy Claus.

Happy Halloween!  😀

I have a NEW template to show you today!  It’s for all you pet lovers 😉  Here is No Bones About It…

A bone!  Lauren never ceases to AMAZE me with her designs!  They are always unique, and a snap to put together whether you are experienced or a beginner.  LoVe It!!  😀

The pawprint paper is part of the Sweet and Sour Sweetheart’s Bag collection.  The paw print and circle tag are in a NEW stamp set this month called Paws-itively Sweet.  It has everything cat and dog you will need for that special pet lover!  I chose to cut out the stamps using my Silhouette instead of printing them.

This sentiment is one of many in our new stamp set Paws-itively Sweet.  You’re going to like it 😉

Hello!

The best way to start the work week is with an October release at My Time Made Easy!  Check out all the NEW products.  It will get you in the Holiday spirit!  😀

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  MTME has a NEW template, stamp, and cut file created just for this!  Did you know that many groups have adopted ribbons as symbols of support or awareness, and their meaning depends on their color or colors?  I had NO idea!  HERE is a list of many awareness ribbons.

My grandma (my mom’s mom) passed away a few weeks ago.  She suffered horribly from Rheumatoid Arthritis.  In honor of her, I chose to make a dark blue ribbon to give to my mom.

Most the elements in this project reflect my grandma.  She always wore jeans and looked beautiful in red.   She also wore red lipstick every day.  Not just any red, it had to be a true red.  My sisters and I were always on the hunt for the perfect red lipstick for her

Grandma was a fabulous gardener.  She grew everything from veggies to flowers.  It’s hard to see in this picture, but I embossed the red layer with a Plants embossing folder.

This sentiment is perfect for my mom.  It says “Praying for Faith to uphold you & that loving Memories heal your heart.”  You can find it in our NEW set, Be Supportive. I cut it out using a NEW cut file, Homemade Holiday Labels.

I can’t wait to give this to my mom.  I feel like I created a paper {{hug}} for her. <3

This template, I Support You, is really awesome.  It is easy to assemble too.  It makes whipping up a quick gift for someone a snap!

Our entire Design Team has created awareness ribbons that represent things close to their heart.  Be sure to stop by them all!

Happy Sunday!

Yesterday was such a busy, great day!  My oldest daughter turned 10!  We decorated her 4-tier birthday cake with fondant (per her request ;-)…our mini Cake Boss), went through a corn maze and partied.  We’re tired!  😀

Today is Preview Day 2 at My Time Made Easy!  We have some fun products releasing this month, so stay tuned!  I’m showing you a new template, Gifted.

This new template is amazing!  I used it to make a gift for my sister who recently got engaged.  Her wedding colors will be dark gray and pink, so I couldn’t resist.  I used Amour digi paper, just changed the black to a dark gray before printing.

The flower on top is one of our NEW cut files for October, Point of View.  I used it here to make a flower, but it also makes a beautiful bow.  Take a look at Lauren’s HERE.  I also made a gift tag and tucked it under the lid.

I had to make a ring for the bride-to-be!  This ring is in our Well Rounded stamp set.  I covered it in glitter and crystal effects for extra sparkle!

I am loving this set!  I made the matching tag using our Well Rounded stamp set and Well Rounded Tag cut file.  The sentiment was added using Adobe Photoshop Elements.

This cupcake is large.  It is a tshirt I ordered for her that I rolled and shaped into a cupcake.  I punched out cardstock confetti and adhered it to the cupcake, along with glitter, using hairspray.  It’s only a temporary hold and will easily wash out.  The front of the shirt is almost exactly like the sentiment on my gift tag (that’s where I got the idea!)!  I didn’t take a picture of it before rolling it, but can see it HERE if you are interested.

I will see my sister next weekend and can’t wait to give it to her!  I love creating things for someone special.  It is so rewarding.

Hi

Happy September 1!  This is one of my favorite days of the year!! ;D  I hope you all have fun plans for your three day weekend!

Today is finally Release Day at My Time Made Easy!  I’m showing you one of the new templates, Mushroom House.  One thing though…I didn’t make a house.

It’s a basket!  I made the mushroom cap, turned it upside down and made it into this CuTe basket.  I love baskets

I filled it with a healthy snack…fresh blueberries.  Yummm.  The digi paper I used is Bold Boys.  I changed around the some colors on the paper so the large dots were vanilla instead of yellow and purple.  I really like the blue/vanilla combo.

I am loving the newly released Apothecary Labels stamp set.  I thought this label worked perfect for my gift set.  I colored it to coordinate with Bold Boys in Photoshop Elements, then used Fabulous Frames to cut it out with my Silhouette.  Aren’t coordinating sets awesome?!

Thanks for stopping by!  Our entire DT have posted goodies for you to see.  Check them out!…

Happy Thursday!!  😀

I hope you’re ready for an awesome MTME September release!  We have some amazing templates, along with stamps, cut files and digi paper for you!  Today I’m showing you one of our new templates, Apothecary Jar.

I love how they turned out!  The Trendy Forest digi paper is one of my fav’s.  I HAD to use it 😉

I am giving these two apothecary jars as teacher gifts.  The teachers work so hard preparing for the new school year, making sure
the kids get off to a great start.  Instead of giving them traditional
back to school gifts, I thought a gift promoting relaxation and
pampering was in order.

I filled them with an exfoliating cloth, cucumber mask, and a fizzy bath ball.

Isn’t this sentiment perfect?!  You can get it in our new stamp set, Apothecary Labels.  I cut out the sentiment and layered it on colored cardstsock using a new cut file, Fabulous Frames.

I made a quick 3×3-inch card that fits inside.

Isn’t it a great gift set?!  I hope the teachers like it!
