My Time Sneak Peek

Hi Everybody...Time for a Sneak peek of this months release for My Time Made Easy... Today we are having a group post using the New template It's in the bag with Back to School stamp set...Perfect for back to school gifts.

~~~~

Here is a look at my gift set :)

~~~~

I have decorated It's in the bag template with Under the Cabana Paper.

~~~~

I love the little handles to give it a back pack look

~~~~

I have filled my template with back to school goodies for a little boy. The ideas are endless fill it with gift cards to a coffee shoppe or book store, school supplies, treats or chocolates.

~~~~

I used Under the Cabana paper again so it coordinates with my template. I just love this little guy with his back pack..The sentiment and image come in the stamp set called Back To school...This set is a must for Back to School gift giving. The set comes with 27 digital images. That is my sneak peek ..Make sure to stop by the other DT members for more ideas. Need more inspiration check out the MTME DT Gallery :)..I will be back tomorrow with another project for release day :)..Thanks for stopping by today ...Monique

For Her " A Year In Review"

I sure hope that Blogger is cooperating with me as this post is scheduled :)... I just love this part of the My Time Made Easy release each month.. Inspiration to use those products you already have !!!

As you know my oldest daughter just graduated and she was the inspiration for my project today. I have given it to her as a keepsake box... She loved it :)

~~~

~~~~

Squeal!! I seriously just love the way this turned out... I have use the What's your angle template and added a hat!!! I wanted the hat to be the vocal point on my template so I decided use no pattern paper just to add a few swirls using Fanciful Flourishes stamp set. My frame is cut out using the Framed Elegance cut file and stamped using the coordinating stamp set... The sentiment is from the stamp set Chase your Dreams... The 2011 was added using Keep it organized stamp set... I sure hope you liked this project as much as I do....

~~~~

Well that is it for My Time Made Easy release this month..I hope you had as much fun as I did :)... Need more inspiration be sure to check out the MTME Gallery . Today is a group post so make sure to hope around so you don't miss out on anything :)...Monique

True Friend

Hi Everybody.. I hope you are enjoying the latest templates, stamps, paper and cut files release by My Time Made Easy.. Today I am sharing another way to use the For Keeps Template.:)

~~~~

Oh boy don't those M&M's look good.. They are my favorite :)..

~~~~

So today I am using the For Keeps template again... I have used the full box option that I used the other day to put my greeting cards in... But this time using the Be Dazzled cut file.. I cut the frame out and lined it with acetate so you could see my goodies inside the box. The pretty paper is from the Spring is here paper pack. I cut my butterfly with Flutters and Flowers cut file finished with some pearls and wrapped in ribbon.. and now I have a yummy gift for somebody special :)

~~~~

I seriously recommend this paper pack Spring is here...It is so fun bright and playful... My image and sentiment are from the Stamp Set My little Friend. That is it for me today... Make sure to stop by tomorrow as I have a awesome project for "A year in Review" Toot toot... I love because of what it means to me :)... Need more inspiration check out the MTME gallery and be sure to visit the other girlies today :)
