My Time Made Easy: A Year in Review

>> Tuesday, October 4, 2011

So it's the last of our scheduling posting this month for My Time Made Easy, and on the last day each month, we all use templates from the past to remind you of what fun they are!

We are all really focusing on the holidays and gift giving (well, after all most of these template ARE for gift giving!) but as I mentioned in my post the other day, I cant even wrap my head around Halloween yet, so thats about as far as my holidays get at the moment! Haha!!

For those who know me well, know I have a complete obsession with anything pumpkin. And that would definitely include the pumpkin spice latte's from Starbucks!!! They are available now and oh so yummy!!! I remember when Lauren first released her coffee set stamps and templates, the first thing I thought of was the pumpkin spice latte, but alas, somehow there were no pumpkin themed stamps yet from My Time Made Easy (it was the first year and we hadnt made it to the holidays yet!!!)

So NOW, now i can finally make my Pumpkin Spice Latte themed giftie! I used the To Go cup!

To create the large pumpkin, I used the the digi set, A Spooky Surprise. For the smaller pumpkins along the bottom of the template, i used the acrylic version! See, it really is good to have both! And often Lauren sells them in bundles! *wink wink*

I used one of the sentiments from the Grab a Cup sentiments set to stamp along the coffee lid using Staz On ink. So it wont rub off!

So now you think... well this is very cute... but what is a good gift for inside?

What about a starbucks gift card?!

You could of course put all kinds of goodies in there. But seeing all that pumpkin-ie goodness on a coffee cup just makes me want a pumpkin spice latte! I'm gonna guess the gift recipient may feel the say way... and so now... they can! :D

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team today and see what they also have to share!

My Time Made Easy October Release day 2

>> Sunday, October 2, 2011

I have another project to share today from My Time Made Easy!

For the next couple of days, the design team will be showing you ways to mix the new release with something from the past from My Time Made Easy.

I decided to use one of the new super cute digi stamps, and pair it with an old template.

Here's Santa and his workshop!

I realized as I was posting that I completely forgot to take a picture of the cookies inside! DOH! And I opened a new pack and everything! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I am entirely oo exhausted to pull the camera back out again (if you remember my post yesterday, I had 3 weddings to do makeup and hair on today!) SO, you can dream about the yummy cookies. And I will probably finish eating them all while i'm typing this up. :D

In any case, the cookies arent what you want to know about, it's this template, right?!

This is part of the Mega Shop template. I'm so sorry I dont have links for you at the moment. I cant seem to get onto the store site. I also used acrylic stamps from the Sugar and Spice stamp set.

Here is a close up of the santa (which is the new digi stamp available in the store!

Be sure to check out Lauren, Tangii and Lisa for more inspiration today!

My Time Made Easy Group Card Share

>> Sunday, August 1, 2010

Hello!!!!! I on my way home today from CHA! Oh it was SOOOOOO much fun! I will have LOTS of photos and such to share, but that will have to be posted tomorrow because today I have 2 posts to share!!!! (my next post wont go live for another 5 hours though, teehee)

Today is the 1st which means all the new goodies from My Time Made Easy is live on the site and ready for you to purchase! This month's release is full of some stamps that are scarce in the stamp market - tooth fairy images and ones to make cards for men! But also fun shopping stuff, which you can never have enough of! You can get a great run down of all the new products on Lauren's blog!

Today all the design team members are doing a card share that work well for GIFT CARDS!

Giving a gift card sometimes is the best option... especially when it comes to giving gifts for men. At least it is when it comes to my hubby! He always goes out and buys his own things so i never know what to get him! When i saw the new Money Well Spent stamp set... i knew precisely what i wanted to do with it!

Now in order for me to feel like i havent gone a generic route by purchasing a gift card, i need to make a special card just for it. This card is to tuck a Home Depot card inside (sorry, with all the latest hullaballoo - i havent had time to purchase said card yet, so it isnt in the photo).

I also used one of my neeeeeeew fun purchases from CHA, this funtastic (yep, it's a word... at least in my head) fabric tape from Love My Tape. It's AWESOME! Expect it see it everywhere soon! I plan on stocking it in the PMS store as well because it's just toooooo cool!

Fun huh?

I kept the rest of the card pretty simple... my hubby doesnt like too much "shtuff" on his cards, but he loves the clean and layered look, so thats what i went with!

I used the set Argyle Amazement to create my background and then a sentiment from Money Well Spent on top.

Be sure to check out the rest of the team for more fabulous Gift Card cards!!!! And then go straight over to the My TIme Made Easy site for more samples of all the new goods!!!!
