Open if you DARE!! A year in review.

Today is a"A Year in Review" at My time Made Easy. I hope you have many ideas rolling around in your craft room on how to use all the new products released this month.

~~~~

~~~~

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.

Don't for get about the MTME DT Gallery for more inspiration and Today is a group post so get hopping :)

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"
