Creative Cards

Hi Everybody..Hope you are having fun with the sneak peeks... Today is Release Day and we are having a group post... We are all making 4 cards... I have made 2 cards and 2 gift tags ...
~~~~
 ~~~~
Lets start with my cards...The tags on my card were created using Just Retail cut file. The sentiments on my tags are from the new Stamp Set Timed write... Happy Birthday is from the set called Sentimental occasions.... The coordinating paper is from the paper pack A loving Heart . To finished it off I have added a butterfly using the cut file Flutters and Flowers.

For my tags I have used digital images and digital coloring... This is a first for me...I have used Just Retail tag cut file along with Timed write Stamp set.. The flowers were both stamped on using Killer Curves stamp set. I printed off my sentiments separately and used dimensional to give it a little pop!!
~~~~
I hope you have enjoyed my samples for today... Don't forget that you can buy everything on your wish list today at My Time Made Easy... Need more inspiration check out the MTME DT Gallery... and be sure to check out the samples from the rest of the team today :)..Monique

Okay lets get on to today's project.

 This template is called Disc-Covered.. Who doesn't love to receive movies or DS games.. This is the perfect packing for it.  With this template you receive 2 templates for the price of one... One that will fit CD's and games and one that would fit DVD movies... Of course there are many other things you could package.. Candies, gift cards, stamp sets just to name a few... For my project I  have used it for a Boys DS Birthday packaging...

 I have used the smaller template to fit the game just perfect.... My paper is from the set Shopping Shirley's Ganache Sprinkles paper pack. The sentiment is from the New Stamp set called Night at the Movies Sentiments...

Barrow of Blooms

Hi Everybody I hope you have all enjoyed the latest release projects for My Time Made Easy. Today I will be sharing a project using the second template that was released this month called Barrow of Blooms.
~~~~
 ~~~~
 Here is my gift set... I had such a hard time deciding what I was going to put in my Barrow of Blooms Template. Originally I was going to fill it with seeds and give as a Mothers day gift...Then I was going to make a little bouquet of butterfly candles that I had... Then I was going to add some suckers shaped as flowers in .. Finally I decided to use the An Apple A Day cut file from last months release... So as you can see it has so many possibilities...
~~~~
~~~~
Here is a close up of my Wheel barrow...I used Fresh Flowers paper to decorate . My apples are sized down to 75% percent of the original file.
~~~~
~~~~
Look at me go. My version of CAS..I just love this tulip. The label is cut using Lovely Labels cut file using Fresh Flowers Digital paper to match the Wheel barrow... 
~~~~
 ~~~~
Here is a close up of my tulip.... And that is my gift set today.. I hope you like it:) We will all be back tomorrow for a group Post titled A Year in Review.....Need more inspiration check out the MTME Gallery... Monique
