Afternoon's Delight

A Little Bit S'more...Release Day!

Hi!

It's here!  Today is RELEASE DAY at My Time Made Easy!  Check out what's NEW!

One of the new templates is Happy Camper.  It is a camper, and it comes with all the accessory layers you would every need to design your perfect camper.  However, I made something completely different using the Happy Camper template...a Faux Alligator purse!

I think it is so pretty.  Sometimes less is more (I usually have a hard time with the less part!), and I think this is one of those times.  I love the simple elegance of this purse.  I created a simple monogramed "J" tag using Simple Tags Round to accessorize it.

To make Faux Alligator...
Press your Versamark pad on your cardstock until it's all covered with ink.  Sprinkle Clear Embossing Powder over it.  Shake off excess powder.  Run your Bone Folder through the Embossing Powder making a Faux Alligator print. Shake off the excess powder again.  Heat with a heat tool until shiny and clear.

Make sure you check out all the Design Team's blogs...LOTS of fun stuff!!

Preview Day 1: Trendy Turtle

Hi!

It's time for another My Time Made Easy release!  Super exciting!!  The goodies at MTME are my answer to EVERY gift giving need.  SO many possibilities :D

My first preview for you showcases a NEW template, Trendy Turtle...

Isn't she C-U-T-E?!!  I have named her Pansy ;-)  Her shell does not come with holes in the template.  I had this crazy idea to put pansies under her shell, so I tweaked my template to cut windows for the flowers to poke out.  I have to tell you, this tempate is GeNiOuS!  It comes together so easilly, along with the instructions (INCLUDES PICTURES!) you get with the file.

I absolutely love coordinating gift sets.  The Perfect Pansy and the Gardeners Apron cut files, along with Garden Greats Plum's Silent Night digi paper, were perfect companions for my Trendy Turtle gift set!!

You can see how the pansies come out of the top.

See my windows?  I love them ;-)

There she is...Pansy  ;-)

A Year in Review

Happy Friday!

Ahhh, pink and brown, one of my favorite color combos :-)

This beautiful paper is called Serenity.  Sensational Stems & Sentiments contains many great sentiments, including this one.  I love the font!

Post Release Day...Blue Collar

Hi!

I hope you are enjoying the May release at My Time Made Easy.  Such fun products!!  Today I'm showing you a feminine take on the Blue Collar template.  My cousin is having a baby girl, and she loves red and black.  So, I made this for her...

I used Vintage Flourishes Leafy Bubbles Digi Paper. 

I love scallops :D

I made this baby rattle using Lollipop Love.

Release Day: Blooming Wonderful Ideas!

Hi!

It's release day at My Time Made Easy!  You will want to stop by all the Design Team blogs to see some BeAuTiFuL creations!  I have links to each of them at the end of this post ;-)

I have a Bloomin Wonderful creation to show you today!  My hubby LOVES to golf, so I made this for him for Father's Day...

A closer look...

Isn't that template GENIOUS?!!  It includes flower layers for the top, but I used a golf ball instead...a manly touch on a flower?  ;-)  I cut grass using my Silhouette.

From the top.

I filled it with tees.

Card...

This stamp is part of a NEW set called Dad's Day to Relax.  It contains every sentiment &image you would ever need for that special guy!

Seas the Day...MTME Preview Day 2

Happy Monday!

What a great way to start the week, with My TIme Made Easy previews!!  I can't believe our May release is already here TOMORROW!  There are some amazing products this month (as usual). :-)

Today I'm showing my favorite new template, Treasured.  It is perfect for packaging up some thank you gifts I want to give this week. 

I just LOVE this box!  The dedorative base really sets it off.  The digi paper is also NEW, releasing tomorrow, called Vintage Flourishes Bright.  This is Checkerboard. 

I created this tag to go with my box, using Round Up and Keep Strong stamp sets.  I replaced the star in "Rock" with a flower, to match the flower on my box.

Here they are together, ready to give to my friend ;-)

Easter Fun!

I can't believe it's almost Easter!  I love Easter.  I love what it stands for, the colors, egg dying, egg hunting, baskets, etc...I love it all!  :D  I had so much fun playing with the Round and Round template...

The chick is peeking out of a hole in her cracked shell.  Isn't she cute?!  The DSP is from the Bring Home Baby Girl digital paper pack.  I had to give her a buddy to hang with, hence the bunny :D

I made the flower using the Fanciful Flowers cut file.

Full of Easter goodies :-)

What a cutie!  I enlarged and printed this bunny out of Spring is Here and made her into a card. :D

Happy Birthday! MTME Post Release Day

Happy Tuesday :-)

I have another awesome gift idea for you today!  How about a birthday cake in a box?!  MTME's new template, Com-pleately, is PeRfEcT for this!  Check it out...

This paper just makes me happy!  You can find it in the Fun Flowers digital paper pack.

So neat and tidy, typical of all Lauren's templates!  That's why I {heart} them!!

I used two small and one large box (the way the template is designed, you can mix and match box size combinations).

The large box contains the makins for a Chocolate Molten Lava Cake, along with instructions.

Mmmm...chocolate chunks needed for the goey center of the Molten Lava Cake.

Every birthday cake needs candles!  :D

The sentiments were colored and printed with my computer.  The stamp set, Just for You, contains sentiments for almost every occasion...so many options!

The cupcakes from Just for You were printed, then cut by hand.  I love how they "pop" on the white embossed background.

MTME Release Day...The Complete Package

Happy April Fool's Day!!  :-)

It's release day at My Time Made Easy!  I absolutely love the templates this month.  So many gift-giving possibilities!  They are sized perfectly for giving sets of cards too...

This is the NEW Com-pleatly Versatile Template.  I also used the NEW Berry Burst DSP, Fine Finish Stamp Set, Fine Finish Cut File, and Spring Bloom Stamp Set.  Aren't they awesome?!

I used two small and one large box.  You can also use two large boxes, or four small boxes.  LoVe that!

Cards fit perfectly in the large box.  I was going to make a set of cards to give as a gift, but changed my mind.  I have friends who really enjoy making/giving handmade cards, but don't have the supplies to make them.  I thought it would be to give a "card kit."  :-)

This large box contains the base layers.

In one small box I have sentiments (a variety to choose from) and adhesive pearls.  In the second there are butterflies and embossed squares.

This kit contains supplies to make eight cards like the one above.  The gift that keeps giving ;-)

Make sure you stop by the rest of MTME's Design Team's blogs.  We all have projects to share!
