MTME Final September Project!!!

Happy Thursday!!!

The entire MTME Team is showing off their last September Release project today. Lauren has asked us to show off the awesome Homemade Card and Envelope © Cut File.

Before I tell you all about it, I decided with a heavy heart to step down from the MTME Team. I know...I can't believe it myself!!! My new boss told me he will need me full-time for awhile and I won't have time to create all the fabulous projects Lauren has designed in the future. After all, she deserves someone that puts their whole heart and soul into it and I just can't do it right now. I hope you'll keep stopping by to see me regardless?!? I also want to *thank* Lauren for allowing me to design for her...Lauren and the MTME ladies are super sweet and I will follow their journey from here on out!!!         

Back to my card....I had to create a quick *thank you* card for a friend of mine and it was the perfect way to show off this sweet house card!!! Since I couldn't decide on any colors I decided to go for my favorite color combo ~ Black, White and Red!!!

Here is my idea..........

My roof was created with one of the Digi Papers from the Custom Construction Materials © Collection. The *Coffee House* image on the front of my card is from the Color Me Pretty Collection called Simply Sensational Shoppes ©.....it was simply printed out and attached...no stampin' involved!!! Lauren has a video tutorial on her blog on how to use this Digi Paper ......you can see it here!!!

For the inside, I quickly created a little pocket for a Gift Card. I inked up the label with the sentiment from the Sign It © Set and decorated it with some Silver Pearls.....voila!!!

Now it's time to check out all the sweet MTME friends ~  Lauren, Katie, Kristin,Lesa, Pam,
Stephanie, Tracey, Dawn, Tammy and Lisa!!!

Thank you all for stopping by today...I'll be back on Saturday with my C4C card!!! Hugs ~S~

MTME Sign it

Happy TGIF!!!

I'm soooooooo glad it's finally Friday!!! The weather has finally cooled off a bit down here and I'm looking forward doing some yard work!!! What are your plans???

Today I have a quick MTME card for you. I'm glad I made this card, because we just had a new family move into the neighborhood....I think I will hand them this card with some homemade cookies as a welcome present :) !!!

I used the house image from the Sign It © Stamp Set. The layout was inspired from last weeks OCCSC30.

The house was inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers ~ C0, C1, C3, E49, Y21, R17, G19 and Colorless Blender. I decided to pierce around the edges on the second panel. According to the Sketch I added some Buttons and I dressed it up with some Cotton Lace Ribbon.....voila!!!

Please make sure to stop by Lauren's blog...she will announce the winners from the blog hop and of course she'll have another fun project for you as well!!!

Have a fabulous weekend...I'll be back tomorrow with a C4C post!!! Hugs ~S~

I combined my MTME project with today's CTD108. Here is my take on it and make sure to read all the way to the end :) .......!!!

Before I tell you about my project...I would like to tell you all about today's MTME September Release!!! Lauren decided to celebrate this event with a BLOG HOP including some hidden treasures!!!

Each design team member is featuring a different themed house/Shoppe! You won't want to miss anyone!!!
Be sure to leave a comment on each design team member's blog today, because TWO of the design team members are going to be picked to have someone from their blog comments WIN a $50 Gift Certificate to My Time Made Easy ™ LLC !!! NO ONE knows which two designers are hiding the treasure, so don't forget to stop by each design team members blog and leave a little love there. Include your email address-so you can be contacted if YOU are one of the lucky winners!!! Winners will be announced on Lauren's blog on September 3rd!!!

Before you start hopping....here is some info about my house ~ I used the Mega Shop Around template. The chimney and stairs are from the Shop Around Accessories template. The stamps I used are from the Home Improvement and On Display 1 Sets. The door, windows, flowers, chimney and stairs were inked in Memento Rich Cocoa. The windows and flowers were colored with Copic Markers ~ Y21, R17, R27 and Colorless Blender. The roof was created with some MTME Digi Construction Materials Paper and I finished it off with some Satin Brown Ribbon. I also added two little brown fences on each side of the house. I used my cricut and the digi version of the Home Improvement and made the fence just a touch bigger.

Lauren requested that we make a matching card with the house. Here it is mine......

I basically used the same idea from the front of my house and created a *Sweet Treat & Coffee* invite!!! I used the Homemade Card and Envelope cut file and the Sign it Stamp Set.

Hope you like this idea???

Thank you for stopping by today!!!  Now it's time to hop around for all the fun projects the MTME Team has created ~ Lauren, Katie, Kristin, Lesa, Pam, Stephanie, Tracey, Dawn, Tammy and Lisa !!!

See you again on Friday with another sweet MTME card!!! Hugs ~S~

MTME Final August Release Project!!!

Happy weekend everyone!!!

ETA: May I just say I'm a goofball...LOL!!! This project is due today August, 8th...got my dates mixed up, but at least I'm early and not late right???? Sorry for the confusion :) !!!

Thank you for all the sweet *Get Well Wishes* you guys have sent me!!! I was so touched and I'm happy to tell you that I'm almost back to normal!!!

My visit to the Chiropractor was the right move as a huge knot was pushing onto my nerve system and with the help of my fab doc I'm back in sync!!! I had no idea that this*stupid* knot could cause so much trouble!!! I had blurry vision, I was light headache, fatigue, I had terrible heartburn (which I never have) and of course these major headaches....anyway he did his magic and it worked!!!

Anyway, thank goodness I was able to finish up my last MTME project!!! The entire Design Team is showing off their projects...please make sure you hop around to check them out ~ Lauren, Geny, Katie, Kristin, Lesa, Pam, Stephanie and Tracey!!!

I decided to show off the super cute Tuck-ered Out © Template. I used some Pink Textured CS and matched it up with some Shopping Shirley's © Sweetheart's Paper Bag Digi Paper. The *Happy Birthday* sentiment is from the Just For You © Set. The card and box were embellished with Prima Flowers, some White Lace and an Antique SU Brad.

MTME is ready for the Tooth Fairy!!!

Hello everyone!!!

Today I have a fun little project with the new Lost My Tooth © Set. I had to giggle when I saw this new Set, because it made me think of the movie the *Tooth Fairy*. If you haven't seen it yet, you have to it is soooo fun!!!

Matter of fact, my oldest daughter Sarah will be losing her baby molder in the next couple of days and I decided to let her help me with this design!!! Sarah also shares my passion for Red, Black and White and that's the color combo she chose for this project.

This is the layout she came up with.....

Isn't it cute...I think she did a fabulous job!!! Of course she can't wait to see what the *Tooth Fairy* will put inside of the card......*wink*?!?    

The sweet little metal tin Lauren mailed me can be found right here.  Sarah & I decorated the card and the tin with some scoring, some cute little SU Buttons, Black Scrapper's Floss and the Red/White Gingham Ribbon.

Hope you like it?!? Please make sure to stop by Lauren's blog...she'll have another fun project waiting for you too!!!

MTME Birthday Gift Ideas!!!

Aloha and happy TGIF!!!

As promised I have another MTME project!!! Katie and Lauren are showing off some projects as well...please make sure to stop to check them out!!!

I always need some fun birthday ideas and with this new Simple Seedling © Cut File I have another winner!!!

I used some Kraft CS as my base and added the fun new Gardening Greats Candied Apple Jack Digi Paper - which was created by the super talented Sara Williams - to my envelope. I added some piercing around the edges and topped it off with some Red/White Checker Ribbon with a matching.

With the matching notecard file I created a *Gift Card Pocket*. I adhered some White CS and stamped the cute images from the Tending The Garden © Set to the front. I finished the pocket card off with a Large Silver Eyelet, some Red/White Checker Ribbon and of course my fabbo Silver Pearls :) !!!

********************************************

Since I had so much fun I created another fun and quick gift idea.....!!!

I bought this fun Burlap Flower Seed Package at the $-section at Target awhile back and figured it would look really pretty with the notecard from Simple Seedling © Cut File.

My card base is once again Kraft. I used two different Stamp Sets...first are the flowers from the brand spankin' new Tending The Garden © Set. They were inked in Memento Black and colored with these Copic Markers ~ R17, R22, R27 and G07. The beautiful frame and the birthday sentiment are from the So Sentimental © Set. I added some more Checker Ribbon, a matching Button, some Brown Scrapper's Floss and the small Silver Pearls.....voila!!!

Hope you like all my gift ideas???  Have a fabulous weekend!!!  I'll be back on Sunday with another post!!!

Hugs ~S~

Next I added the fun Yellow Picket Fence © Digi Paper. I decided to add some piercing around the edges and the matching pocket in front!!!

What do you think of these super stinkin' cute BBQ tools??? Are they stinkin' cute or what...LOL??? I have seen them on Andrea's (JUGS girl) fun apron the other day and thought they would look really cute on my card too :) !!!  I must admit this is my first apron ever and I had no idea what to do...so *thank you* Andrea for inspiring me!!! BTW these BBQ tools are a svg.freebie on the SCAL site!!!!

The *Let's Do Lunch* sentiment on my front pocket is from the Lunch Box Love Notes Additions © Set. I finished the apron off with some Wild Wasabi Ribbon, a little punched out flower and a Silver Pearl.

MTME July Sneak Peeks started!!!

Hello again and happy Tuesday!!!

I have two post today....if you are looking for my Flourishes card please click HERE!!!

WOW can you believe June is almost over....but the good news is we are starting the new MTME July Sneak Peeks!!! Lauren has created some fabulous new ideas and I hope you'll follow along the next few days!!! All templates, stamp sets and digi papers will be available for purchase on July 1st over at the MTME Store!!!

Lauren, Katie, Tracey and I are showing off the new the Flapper © Pretty Packaging Template and the new Killer Curves © Stamp Set. I love this new gift box...I know I will use it over and over again!!! I actually made todays project for my sweet friend who's birthday is coming up in a few days!!!

The base of my card was created with the Scallop Bottom from the Flapper © Pretty Packaging Template. Before I added the Yellow CS I inked the Silhouette Flowers along the bottom using Memento Black Ink. This flower image and 3 more are included in the new Killer Curves © Stamp Set !!!  I inked the Killer Curve image in Memento Black and layered it onto Black CS that I cut out with the Killer Curves © Accent File. The birthday sentiment I added is from the So Sentimental © Set. I finished the card off with some Silver Pearls and the Black Satin Ribbon.

Of course I wanted the box to match... and before I adhered it all together I again inked the sweet Silhouette Flowers around the bottom of the entire box. The lid was scored and I added another image from the new Killer Curves © Stamp Set. The sentiment inside is from the Just For You © Set. Again, I embellished the box with some Silver Pearls and the Black Satin Ribbon!!!

Hope you like this little sneak peek???

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!!! Hugs ~S~
