Afternoon’s Delight: Lauren Meader

Baby Blues

Happy Thursday! :D

Today is my last project to share for our April release. I'm using our Shoe Box template. One of my friends just had a baby boy, so I knew exactly what I wanted to use this box for!

Anything baby is just plain cute!

Like the dots? You can find it in our Blue Skies digital paper pack. I changed the colors to fit my project before printing. This bow is made using Abra-Bow-Dabra; easy and amazing cut file!

This box measures 4 inches tall, 5 1/2 inches wide, and 9 inches long! I have wrapped up two, three-piece outfits inside. Nice and roomy!

Love, love, love this Lil' One-sie cut file. I colored and printed the giraffe (from BFF Valentine) to match the dots on my box. CuTe!

Stop and visit the DT for more goodies!!

Sexy Soles

Hello :-)

Have you checked out all our NEW products at My Time Made Easy? Today I'm showing you a new, fun way to use our Sexy Soles template. I love thinking "out of the box." Possibilities are endless!

Flip flops anyone? I love them! I only used the sole layers in the template.

I embossed the soles using a flower embossing folder.

The straps are made out of hemp twine. I love the beachy feel the flowers give them.

You can find this sentiment in our NEW Sole-Mates stamp set, along with more fun sentiments and images. I used a digital paper from Under the Cabana for the background.

Check out more fun stuff here:

Have a great day!

Retail Therapy

Hi!

I hope you all had a Happy Easter! We had a great day. Family time is the best <3

It's RELEASE DAY at My Time Made Easy! If you like shoes and shopping, this release was meant for you. Today I'm showing you a NEW template, Handbag.

Amazing, right?! This digi paper is called Chic Cheetah, and is part of our NEW Purse Patterns paper pack.

The pockets are emobssed using a bubble embossing folder. They are attached with dimensionals in the center and tape on the sides so they stick out a little.

This template is amazing. It comes with all these decorative layers and more, along with step-by-step, photographed instructions! It makes it is easy for every crafter.

For the card, I used our NEW stamp set Shop Til You Drop. This set is a collection images that include a boutique sign, two handbag images, a shopping bag, some shoes and sandals, as well as sentiments, that are perfect for that shopper in all of us!

Woven Bag-sket

Hi :D

Today is the final day of our March release! It's our Year in Review. We get to choose ANY template/cut files/stamps/paper and create something fun! I chose to use one of our NEW cut files. I made a Bag-sket for Easter...

I ran my decorative pieces through my Big Shot and a basket weave embossing folder to give the handle and trim texture. For the body of the basket, I weaved several colors of 1/4-inch ribbon, then trimmed them to fit the basket. I did this on the front and back. The egg tag is in our Spring is Here stamp set.

This is the back. I love the texture the woven ribbon gives.

Be sure to check out our entire team's creations!

Bunny Bum!

Hello :D

What do you think about the March release at My Time Made Easy? We have some great NEW products! I have been having so much fun playing with them. Today I used our Display template to make a cute Easter gift set.

I love bunny bum punch art! It's super cute :D

This template is a great size! Completed it measures 6 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 5 inches long.

Isn't that a cute tail? My girls made pom-pom warm fuzzies for their friends for Valentine's Day. I thought I'd use their supplies to make myself a fuzzy bunny tail. It took me back to my elementary school years! :D

The grass was cut using my Silhouette.

I L-O-V-E this stamp! Our new singles are so cute. This one is called Easter is Here. The digital stamps are so versatile. You can size and color them however you desire. <3

See more amazing projects here...

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Friday!

It's RELEASE DAY at My Time Made Easy! :D We are going to give away the ENTIRE release to one lucky customer!

We all have so much to share, so I hope you will take a moment to visit our talented designers, because if you do you could have a chance to win an amazing prize package!!

Today we'd like you to leave a comment HERE telling us WHO had your favorite project so far and what you liked about it.

I have an Egg-stra Special project to show you today. You like Easter eggs, don't you ;-)

I LOVE this Egg-stra Special Template! It goes together so easy and is super fun! I embossed each decorative layer with a dotted embossing folder before attaching them to my egg.

I embossed the colored layers on my card to match the egg. This adorable image is NEW (Egg Decorating Stamp Set). Color it any way you want to match your project! :-) This "Hoppy Easter" sentiment is found in our Some Punny Easter Stamp Set.

Isn't it bright and springy?!

I found this ribbon in the Easter section at Costco! It comes in a huge roll and is wire edged. Love it!

Isnt' this huge bow fun?! I learned to make it by watching this video. I love making big beautiful bows ;-)

Check out all the new products here:

Have a great day!

Berry Sweet Valentine Basket

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I wanted to bring the Berry Sweet Basket back to life :-)

I love red and white! Ahhh. This basket is a great size! It's perfect for a larger gift. It measures 6 1/4 inches wide, 6 1/4 inches deep, and 8 1/2 inches tall. I filled it with a Valentine treat for my hubby and kids.

I dipped Oreo's in white and milk chocolate then piped an "X" or "O" on each one.

I wanted my card to coordinate with the basket, yet stand alone also. I dry embossed the middle white layer with an argyle embossing folder. It reminds me of the diamond pattern in the basket. The heart lock on my card is part of MTME's Lock and Key cut file. I didn't have a scallop rectangle, so I used the Border Builders cut file to make one. Gotta love digi files! ;-)

Check out my fellow DT blogs for more inspiration:

Have a wonderful day!

Party Time!

Hello :-)

I'm so excited for this post today. I'm not only showing you one of my favorite projects this month, but also my princess ensemble! Let me show you the party hat for our little princess, Kaelyn...

You should definitely put a party hat on your TO-DO list for your next birthday celebration! It's so fun! I created this hat using our NEW Party Like a Princess cut file. The giant "1" was easily made using our Magical Birthday Numbers cut file and some glitter. My patterned paper is All Steamed Up.

This completes my princess ensemble. So...here it is!

This will definitely make any princess's party extra special!

Be sure to stop by my fellow DT's blogs for more princess goodies...

Thanks for looking :D

Fit for a Princess--Release Day!

Happy Release Day!

Have you checked out all our NEW products this month? I have to say, the Castle in the Clouds I'm showing you today was a little intimidating at first. However, once I started assembling it I realized how easy it was. Along with the template, you get step by step directions WITH PHOTOS! You should try it!

I dry embossed the white cardstock to resemble bricks.

Amazing, right?! The entire top comes off in one piece, and is the lid to this castle gift box. Any little princess (or princess' mother) would LOVE this!

Above the door is a sign that reads "For the Sweetest Princess." You can get this sentiment in our NEW stamp set, Simply Enchanting. I cut out the sentiment using Fine Finish.

Once again, the pink and white patterned paper is part of our All Steamed Up digi paper pack.

Check out all the new products here:

Thanks for looking! :D

Riding in Coach

Hi!

It's time for another release at My Time Made Easy! All our new products this month are princess themed. They are absolutely enchanting! ;-)

My first sneak peek features a NEW template, Riding in Coach.

This coach is amazing. It goes together so slick. It's hard to see, but all the white is embossed with a Divine Swirl embossing folder. It really adds a lot of "fancy" to the carriage.

Isn't she pretty? This princess is part of our NEW stamp set, Something Magical. I enlarged her before printing to made her into a card. Love those digital stamps!

You can find the pink and white patterned paper I used in the All Steamed Up paper pack.

For this release, I decided to make an esmeble for one of my best friend's baby girl. She turns one in February. This project is only one part of my three-piece ensemble. I can't wait to show you it all together! It turned out AmAzInG :D

Stop and see more enchanting projects here:

Have a great day! :D
