I have used Fall Foliage paper for my decorative layers. The sentiment is from the stamp set Framed Elegance.

 And last but not least my  coordinating card. Again I have used Fall Foliage paper to match my pretty template. The background paper was stamped using the stamp set Thankful and I topped it off with a Roster from the new set Well Rounded.

MTME October Preview

Hi Everybody...Yup it is that time again, time for another fabulous MTME release. If you are starting to think of the holidays your not going to want to miss anything this month. Its all about easy, affordable gift giving and with MTME the possibilities are endless.

~~~~

 ~~~~

The first new template is called Topped off. This is a must get. This simple little box has 4 tops to use all year long. 4 layered pointed petal flower, 3 layered star , a dual layered Square for a graduation hat, and this adorable snowman.

~~~~

~~~~

Every Year I love to give away Christmas Tree Ornaments and this template is the perfect size. I put my name on the hat to show how easy it is to label. This would even be perfect for a place setting at your Christmas Dinner table and fill the box with some mints, jokes or small toys. 

~~~~

~~~~

My matching card was cut out using Creative Card Cut file. The cute little snowman is a new image being released this month called Frost bitten. The sentiment is from the new stamp set called Beautiful Baubles. Well that is it for me today. Need more inspiration be sure to check out the MTME DT Gallery. Today is a group post so make sure to hop around and see what the other DT members have to share today :)...Monique

Hi Everybody. I want the thank the Jugs DT so much for having me this month. It was a ton of fun designing with you ladies. The last challenge I have with the Jugs is a 3D challenge. Alter a box (tissue box, pop tart box etc) with a FALL theme of some sort. I have altered a tissue box into a fall vase. I cut the top off of the box cover it with rich red material topped with a bow and this cute little tag. The sentiment is from the stamp set from MTME Keep strong. Well that is it for me, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Be sure to stop by the rest of the team to see what inspiration they have for you :)...Monique

With Halloween closer than we think I thought it would be a good time to get started on some spooky packaging. 

~~~~

~~~~

I have cut out the coffin using SK8 board box template out on black card stock. Using A spooky surprise stamp set I decorated with white ink. Wrapped it with twine and added a tag. Easy peasy!!! My tag is Lovely labels cut file and stamped with matching Lovely labels stamp set... And the sentiment from A Spooky surprise... 

And that wraps up another full and exciting release with My Time Made Easy... Thank you for joining me today.

Thankful

Hi Everybody. I hope you have been enjoying all the eye candy from this months release at My Time Made Easy. Today is my assigned day and I have made some Thanksgiving place setting crackers.

~~~~

~~~~

What do you think of these wonderful warm colors... The second template to be release this month is called Tying up loose ends.. I thought this would be a great addition to my Thanksgiving Table.

~~~~

~~~~

 I have decided to make some Cracker name placements for my table. For each cracker I have decorated the ends of the template with Framed Elegance stamp. The decorated layer is Autumn leaves collection 1 & 2 paper. Then I made a tag with the new cut file simple tags. This cut file is available in four shapes. Square, rectangle, circle and oval. My leaves are a old cut file called Old oak leaf. I have stamped each initial on each cracker using Monograms defined stamp set.

~~~~

~~~~

Another view of some of the crackers.

~~~~

~~~~

 I decided to make the Berry Sweet Basket template to store them. Place on my table this will make a great center piece of well. I plan on putting in some fresh fall colored flowers. 

~~~~

Well that is it for me today. I will be back tomorrow for the all favorite "A Year in Review"
