Keep Dazzling Them

Today is release Day at My time Made Easy!! And we are having another group post!! Today Lauren wanted each of use to make 4 mini cards to fit into the For Keeps template :)
~~~~ 
 ~~~~
Here is my complete set..I am so happy with the way these turned out!!
~~~~
Lets start with my template..This the second design for the For Keeps Template... I made the template with white for my base and Crawling Vine Silhouettes paper for the top. The butterfly's are from the Stamp Set Be Dazzled and were put on there digitally as well as the inside frame. I used the Lauren's New tutorial to cut it out and then stamped the sentiment on with black ink. The sentiment is from the Stamp set Just For You.
~~~~
~~~~
A little peak of the inside!
~~~~
~~~~
My cards all coordinate with just a little something different on each of them. Papers used are Dainty Damask and Blooming with Elegance paper. I put my image on the Be Dazzled Frame Digitally and then cut using the Be Dazzled cut file. The frame on my sentiment was stamped using Paper Patterns stamp set. All the sentiment are from Sensational Sentiments Stamp set. I used a lot of dimensionals on my cards to really make the frame POP...

Card #2

Card #3
~~~~
~~~~
 I did a little something different with the image on this frame.. This is actually taken from a piece of paper from the Blooming with Elegance pack. I just sized it down and used it as a image... Isn't digital fabulous..lol... I am just learning how to use digital...Well that is it for me today ..Need some more inspiration check out the MTME Gallery... Be sure to hope around and see what all the other girlies have for you today :)

Dazzling Ideas

Hi Everybody.. Boy I hope Blogger is cooperating with me tonight..I have scheduled this post ... It is already time for My Time Made Easy July Release!!! Today I am sharing a fabulous little template that my daughters just fell in love with....Lets get started!!
~~~~

 ~~~~
 Would you look at this Gem of a gift set.....
~~~~
 ~~~~
The template called Be Dazzled comes with not just one but two base options...Today I have used the option to package a necklace, earnings, bracelet or even a ring.  I love the window display!!. The Stamps that are being release this month  are perfect to coordinate with this template... Be Dazzled Stamp set... I have also used the Be Dazzled cut file using Lauren's newest video..Check it out here... My paper choice is called Crawling Vine Silhouettes paper.
~~~~
 ~~~~
Now for my coordinating card I used the same paper and cut out those cute little flowers using the new cut file called Blossoming into Spring... The sentiment comes from the new stamp set Be Dazzled...That is it for me today but be sure to check out the other DT members for some more samples of this template...
