My Time Made Easy -- May Release Day Great Grillin'

You guys are so clever! Wow, you impressed me...and here it is!

You guessed it, it's a barbie grill! Isn't Lauren the most clever girl in the land?!

I loved making this template. It was super fun...and, yes, easy! This template is called "Great Grillin'" and I can't wait to give this to my dad.

Look at the burners on the side...so stinkin cute! So if you want to see how to make it, yes, I did make a video tutorial for you. I have to say it was very easy to put together, and it has so many possibilities.

Please stop by the other teamies to check out what they came up with. It is sure to wow you!

New Stampin Up Demonstrator

Hey, everyone! I am so excited. I just joined Stampin Up as a demonstrator. I have always loved their products and thought this would be a really fun way to both get new product and be able to share what I learn with others. I joined just in time...there's a brand new catalog coming out June 1st...yay! I get to preorder some of the new stuff from the catalog tomorrow, and when it comes in, I will show you all my new goodies! I have a video link down below that shows what came in my demonstrator kit!

I just need to work out a couple of the kinks, like how to post the links onto my site for orders and all the new information, etc. So please join me in this fun new endeavor. If you have any questions, just let me know, and I will answer them the best I can!

Thanks for stopping by!!

MTME -- Handbag Template

So this is the last post for the April release...so sad, because it was such a fun release...but never fear, My Time Made Easy has released so many wonderful things this month, I just couldn't help myself. I made a couple of extra projects that I will post throughout the next couple of weeks! Yay!

Isn't this the sweetest package to give to a girlfriend who loves shopping? You know who I mean, Gloria! I love the size of this. It is approximately 10 1/2 inches tall, which is perfect for Bath & Body Works and a whole host of other gifts!

I used the Handbag template with the Romance digital paper pack and the brand new Purse Patterns paper...a must have, don't you think? I added a couple of flowers and lace to the pockets and some Stickles to the buckle.

And just to give it the purse flavor, I added a silver twine ribbon with a key and lock charm...love! I was also very lucky to have a couple of Basic Gray brads that matched perfectly with the paper...lucky!

And for those of you who want to make this bag along with me, I have made a video tutorial showing you how to put this together...it's a piece of cake, I tell you!

It is downloading now, so it won't be up until later this afternoon.

I hope you enjoyed this, and please don't forget to give some love and get some inspiration from the other girls!
