Oh Bee Hive MTME Sneak Peek (April 30 MTME)

Hi Everybody.... It that time again for a Brand New release at My Time Made Easy. I would like to give a warm welcome to this months Guest Designer Teresa Kline. Welcome Teresa. Today I am using the New Template Called Oh Bee Hive. Lets get started :)

I have made the template into a cake with Bumble Bee Theme... As soon as I seen this template I started to feel like the "Cake Boss" Do you ever watch that show..It is awesome... Anyway For my Template I have cut it all out in white. I have added circles cut out out Darling Dots Paper, and I also used The Flowers from the Branching Out cut file with with the same paper.  The bumble bees are stamped using the new stamp set called Bee-Loved  and Bee- Loved Sentiments.  Added some twine and finished off with a big bow of raffia!!

A close up 

My cake topper was created using the fantastic Abra-Bow Dabra using 2 different colors of the Darling Dots paper and topped off with a Bumble Bee..The Bumble Bees are  from  a cut file called My Bee-loved for easy cutting and simple stamping.. I Just love this option from My Time Made Easy ,,,No fuss :)

I completely forgot to take pictures and show you have to fill the template but It does come with the instructions  with the template..You have the option of filling from the top or the bottom.... I have added a little something to my gift using the Oh-Bee-Hive cute file . Well that Is it for me I hope I have inspired you :)... Are you looking for more inspiration ? Look no farther and check out the MTME Gallery and be sure to see what the other DT members have for you today :)... I will be back tomorrow with another New Template and It is Release Day Yay!!!

Easter Egg and Twinery Twine

Hi Everybody today is my Exclusive day at The Twinery. I have made a project that we used to make for the farmers market.. We would make it out of Yarn but I have made it with Twine!!!

I have used all bright pretty colors of The Twinery Twine Caribbean, Lilac, Pink Sorbet, Lemon drop, Pea pod, Maraschino, and Mandarin. A balloon, and corn starch mixture.

I covered the Twinery Twine with cornstarch and wrapped it around the balloon. Let the balloon dry for 24 hours. After it is dry poke a small hole at the top so the balloon deflates slowly. 

I cut around a egg shape.. added a bit of lace to have a finished look.. Filled with goodies and topped off with a beautiful pink ribbon... Ta Da..
