MTME Handbag Video Tutorial

Can you believe it?  My video finally uploaded!  Now, I know it's a little long, but really?!  It took me almost two full days for this little puppy to upload to YouTube.  Whew!

So enough rambling.  This is the video tutorial that shows you how to put together the Handbag template from My Time Made Easy. 

I hope you enjoy it, and if you have any questions, just leave me a comment and I will try to answer it.

Thanks so much 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!

MTME Sexy Soles

I just love the name of my project I have for you today...Sexy Soles!  Isn't that a great name?!
I have a special post today.  Not only did I take pictures to post of this fantastic template, but I have include a video tutorial for you!  Yay!

How cute is this design?  I mean really...I have a severe shoe fetish and this was right up my alley!

The template, of course, is Sexy Soles, and the paper for the soles is called Grammy's Pretty Patterns digital paper pack.

Don't you love that buckle and lace.  I love everything frilly...as you know, so you can imagine how much fun I had in decorating this pattern!

So here you have it.  And as I said, I made a two-part video tutorial on how to put this shoe together.  This is my very first video tutorial, so let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy it!

You aren't finished yet...oh, yeah, more goodies to come if you stop by the other teamies blogs to see what they have done!

Preview Day 1: CARD COVER UP

My Time Made Easy Design Team Preview Day 1
How absolutely exciting is this?!

I have been so excited to share with you starting this month I am a member of the My Time Made Easy Design Team!!

Hooray!

I haven't posted for the last week or so because I have been very busy coming up with my projects to show you for the April release.  Boy the pressure!

You all know how much I love Lauren's products at MTME, so you can just imagine the fun I have been having with her new release templates, paper and stamp sets -- gosh, I am in love.  So grab your cup of coffee (or tea) and relax and enjoy...

Ta-da!  Can you believe this template?!  This is called the Card Cover Up Template.   We were asked to come up with something different other than using the template for cards.  This is what I came up with.

I put two templates back to back so that I could put more things in it.  I decorated this glassine bag with some crepe paper and ribbon and used the Fine Finish Tags cut file and Spring in Bloom stamp set (new) and the Fine Finish stamp set (new) for the label.

This is the back side of the set, which contains some body product.  The bow on top is the Abra-Bow-Dabra cut file from MTME.

This is the whole set.  What a perfect little Mother's Day set, and love that paper, don't you?  Of course, I put in my mom's favorite candy in the baggie.

I couldn't let you go without showing you this adorable new flower.  This is called the Rolled Bloom- Modern.  It is a cut file that is so easy to make and looks so cute...

And my last photo is the close up of the card.  Don't you love that paper?!  Well don't you know how excited I was when I saw that the Berry Burst paper (new) was pink...my very favorite color.  Thank you so much for stopping by.

Please visit the other team member sites for more inspiration.  You will love what they have in store for you.  Make sure you stop back by on the 1st for release day...yippee!

Just Us Girl #125 Challenge

Hello everyone.  I am back with another project that I made for the Just Us Girls Challenge #125 this week.  I kind of stepped out of the box for me.  Black is always such a sharp looking color that I rarely use because it is so intimidating to me, but I love to see others use it.  So here is my version of using black in my 3d challenge.

The challenge called for using a 3d project or template with buttons, flowers and ribbon or bows, so I used them all.  I used the I Am Roses flowers.  The small one is sprayed with glitter mist and the large one I embossed with black glitter.  I added a double butterfly that I cut out with my Silhouette machine.

 I used a few of my buttons from my stash, a few rhinestones and pearls and topped it off with a label on the front.  The template is from My Time Made Easy.  You really should stop by there.  They have a new release out starting tomorrow.

 And here is what I put inside.  I wrapped a few tea bags and candy pieces with some matching paper and there you have it, a little gift to make someone feel good.

Thank you so much for stopping by and please come visit me again!

CR84FN Challenge 47

I am just getting back into the challenges again, and when I saw these colors, I couldn't resist. A friend of mine is having a baby, and she is decorating it with Dr. Seuss colors and themes. I made this for her baby shower. I didn't really think about it when I was taking the pictures, but I hadn't filled it yet and then forgot to get photos of it filled -- some day I will get it all together.

Sorry for the shadows, but I didn't have my light box. It is a baby carriage that I made with a MTME template. I filled it with a onesie and some booties with a gift card.

This is a view of the back. I downloaded some clipart from the internet with a Dr. Seuss logo on it. I used this on the back and for the wheels.

I hope you enjoyed this. Thanks for looking!

Desk Organizer

Hello, everyone! I took a little leave of absence from posting. I have had a few personal issues that took time away from crafting, but now I am back and ready to go. I have still been browsing the blogs and loving all the inspiration I get from everyone else.

I just got done entering a flower swap, and if you can believe it, I waited to the last minute to get them done, so I didn't get any pictures. I will try to make a video of the flowers I get back and take some photos and post them when I get them.
So without further delay, here is my first project I am posting for the year!

This is a desk organizer made from My Time Made Easy Keep It Template. I cut this out using my Silhouette machine. Love that machine! I used the PTI Raspberry Fizz cardstock and patterned paper. It has a drawer on the bottom. The center part holds index cards that you can put address cards in. I haven't put labels on it yet. The top section also holds index dividers that you can put cards in it and label it by month or occasion for all your greeting cards.

I used the monogram stamp from MTME for the G on the back. I made this for my friend at work using her initial.

I hope you enjoyed this, and have a wonderful day!

MTMEPPS05 Challenge

This is a card that I put together for the My Time Made Easy Pretty Pallette challenge. I made the card over the weekend, but I almost forgot to post it. Really busy week at work.

I will post all the products I used on the card tomorrow.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

MTME Pretty Pallete 04

I think I am really getting into this challenge thing. I don't know whether I will win anything or not, but just the inspiration it gives me is fun. This is a challenge from My Time Made Easy. If you haven't visited their site, you really need to stop in and see what they have. I spend way too much time there. Their design team is really fantastic. They just added some new members and I am really looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

My card for this challenge is made with the Kraft cardstock from Papertrey Ink. I used the Autumn Leaves 2 digital paper from MTME along with the Tending the Garden stamp set for the trees. The branches have Flower Soft on them to give them dimension. The flowers along the bottom were cut on my Silhouette using the Fanciful Flowers cut file and the label is using Trendy Tags Set 3 cut file from MTME.

I bet you can't tell how much I love their products! Tomorrow I will show you something I made using one of their templates that is soooooo amazing.

Enough for now. Thanks for stopping by!
