Gardener Apron MTME

Hey all!
Thanks for stopping by to see another My Time Made Easy project!
Today you can shop! Fun, eh?!
Lauren has a couple really CUTE cut files available this month and I'm going to share the Gardener's Apron with you.
This card was super easy to make and I could see it being made into a BBQ apron too! What fun sending out a BBQ invitation with this. So many possibilities :)
I stamped the floral image from Sensational Stems right onto my green prism paper and paper pierced around the edges. I added a little grass coming out of the pocket and popped it up. Viola...complete!

The My Time Made Easy team all have some wonderful projects to share with you today so please stop by to check them all out!

Tending the Garden MTME

Hello!
I've got more sneak peeks to share with you from My Time Made Easy!
Remember that everything will be available on July 1st.
My package unfortunately seems lost in the mail but luckily this Tending the Garden set will be available in digi as well!
That's what I used on my cards today ;)
I'm still a stamp fan but digital images work nicely, especially in a pinch.
Look at this cute bee image! I resized the bee and moved the sentiment to where I wanted it before printing it out on cardstock. Every bee needs a little trail, don't you think?

Stamps: Digital Tending the Garden; Cardstock: White, Prism, Echo Park DP; Accessories: copics, ribbon, scallops, cloud dies, ribbon, paper piercer, dimensionals, stickles
My second card uses the sweet watering can image. I chose the size I wanted for my watering can and then adjusted the label, flowers and sentiment to fit inside. Easy peasy! Notice I used a little more of that Lattice Sprinkle digi paper again. LOVE the colour!

Stamps: Digital Tending the Garden; Cardstock: White, Yellow, Echo Park DP; Accessories: Copics, nesties, Scallops, Cork, Primas, Dimensionals
Sharing some fabulous creations today will be Lauren, Lesa, Pam, Stephanie and Geny.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

My card started out using some new digi paper that will be released on July 1st along with everything else ;)
This paper is called Lattice Sprinkle. I just ♥ this colour!! It matches Baja Breeze ink from SU! so well :)
The stamp set I am sneakin' today is called Lovely Labels and it co-ordinates with the Labels 1 cut file that will be available soon too. The sentiment comes from an older set called Sensational Sentiments. So many wonderful sayings in this set! I love how the digi paper and Lovely Labels look together.

Moments That Made Us Laugh

First thing...I want to wish my super duper fabulous friend, Denise and her husband a very happy 12th Anniversary! Congrats girl!
I don't know why but I'm always drawn to use bright colours with the JustRite Sentiment stamps from Stampers Dream. Maybe it's because most people use muted colours? I love when I see romantic, rustic, shabby or elegant cards using the JR stamps but I don't do those very well. Not my style I guess :) I'll just admire those that can pull it off!
When I saw Debbie's card here for the Featured Stamper Challenge I knew I'd be able to make another fun, bright, happy card with a new JustRite set called Cherish The Memories Nested Centers & Verse. I pulled out some fun new designer paper I picked up by Echo Park. It's so summery!

Stamps: Cherish The Memories; Cardstock: White, Real Red and Echo Park DP; Inks: Real Red, Summer Sun, Temp. Turq.; Accessories: Nesties, Ribbon, Martha Border Punch, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Life Is Good

Happy Sunday!
We are having beautiful weather here and it looks to continue for several more days! Yeah!
I decided to make a fun card using Jen's SFYTT on her blog. The drink image comes from a Taylored Expressions set and the sentiment from a Verve set. It's not often that I mix and match stamp companies but I think these two work well together :)

Stamps: Chillax from TE, Relax from Verve; Cardstock: White, Aqua Mist, Echo Park DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Ribbon, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today! I'm off to watch a bit of the Nascar race!

Bring on the Blue

Good Morning!
Last weekend I worked on a diaper cake for a co-worker and I had wanted to show you BUT I did not get a good picture of it before giving it away. I was playing with the setting on my rebel camera and buggered it up...lol Tried doing some things to make my pictures brighter but I only made them fuzzy. Brian fixed it but it was too late.
I did get a decent picture of the card I made to go with it.
The bottom of this card is actually an extra piece of the wrap that went around each layer of the diaper cake.
Since she is having a boy I made it all BLUE....fun eh?

Stamps: MFT Baby Bump; Cardstock: White, Bo Bunny DP(both sides); Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, EK Success Wavy Dot Punch, Ribbons, Buttons, Thread, Dimensionals, Nesties
Thanks for stopping by! VERY soon I'll be sharing some My Time Made Easy Sneak Peeks! Keep your fingers crossed that my parcel arrives....darn snail mail!
Have a TERRIFIC weekend!

Video Game Dude

I know this card, well image, looks a lot like the last one and that is because I stamped and coloured them at the same time...lol

Since it was sitting on my desk I decided to use it for the SCS sketch this week and also tied it into the MFT Wednesday Challenge of using felt and or cork. I do not own any thin cork yet so I went with some fun MFT white felt which was cut using the die-namics scalloped die.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a GREAT day!

Who's That Geek Guy

A couple of days ago the mail person dropped off my MFT package in the box! I was tickled pink! There really aren't enough man stamps out there and this one is perfect for so many of the men I know! I just know it'll get a ton of use!!
Of course my first card using the set had to be for my husband. He loves playing is online games which is good for me because he never complains when I spend an entire day stamping ;)
I stamped the image from Who's That Geek Guy onto cream cardstock and coloured with copics. It's a pretty simple card that uses Mercy's sketch this week.

Stamps: Who's That Geek Guy; Cardstock: Kraft, Prism Yellow, Cream, Cosmo Cricket The Boyfriend DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Twill, Clip, Brads, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by! I have Thursday off work and I plan to stamp stamp stamp!

Sending Birthday Wishes

I've got another card to share!
It started out using a sketch from somewhere but then my flower turned out to be a little big and I couldn't add other layers that the sketch called for....lol
The SU! daisy die was a fave and a must have of mine but it sadly was forgotten :(
It's such a fun die!
Last week at one of my LSS I found some of this pretty paper by Echo Park. At least I think that is who makes it. Anyway, I've never heard of them before but I liked what I saw! So I bought 10 sheets! ha!
For the flower center sentiment I used a JustRite set called Birthday Centers Round and you can find it and many more JR stamps at Stampers Dream.

Thanks for stopping by!

Life is Good Mojo144

Happy Tuesday Morning!
I had a great time stamping yesterday! I finished the diaper cake and gave it to my co-worker. I'm hoping she really liked it! I think it turned out cute. I struggled a bit because it was for a boy and if I'm being honest, I don't do boyish very well...lol. Pinks, flowers, butterflies....that's right up my alley but boy stuff...not so much. I'll share it later this week!
After finishing the cake and matching card I decided to check out Julee's Mojo144 sketch.
After doing something boyish all morning I reached for some bright papers! My surf boards were coloured to match the Cosmo Cricket DeLovely DP.
This Relax set from Verve is so FUN! Love it!

Stamps: Relax; Cardstock: PTI white, Hawaiian Shores, Cosmo Cricket DeLovely DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Ribbon, White Candy Dots, EK Success Wavy Dot Punch, Mat pack and Paper piercer, Dimensionals

Mud Buddies CAS72

Good Evening!
I love it when I have Monday's off work! I had hoped to sit out and enjoy the weather but just as I was about to do that....in rolled a thunderstorm....lol
Soooooo I decided to stamp some more!
Here is a card I just made for the CAS72 challenge on SCS using a cute new Pure Innocence Girl called Mud Buddies. You can find her at Stampers Dream along with many other PI girls! Be sure to check them out! I stamped the image and coloured her with Copics. The background was sponged with Tim Holtz distress inks. Here I used Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a GREAT week!

Swinging by to say HI :)

Hi :)
Gosh it's been nearly three days since I last stamped and I was going insane! Working weekends really bites! Especially when it's beautiful outside....lol
Since it's super duper hot in my house I knew I'd be heading to the basement to stamp and one of the first things I reached for were my MFT PI girls. LOVE ♥ them!
I checked out the MFT Blog to see what last Wednesday's challenge was and lucky for me it was a colour challenge! Fun times!
Red, Green and Yellow
So this is what I came up with....

Stamps: Start Your Day with Whee; Cardstock: Kraft, Cream, Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Yellow Prism, Garden Variety DP; Inks; Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Felt, Twill, Button, Thread, Die-namics Grass and Scallops, Dimensionals
I'm off work Monday and I hope to spend a great deal of my time stamping!

Berries And Cherries

It's the weekend!
Are you excited? I'm not....lol
I have to work the whole thing....blech!
I've been busy working on a diaper cake for a co-worker and I'm hoping to finish that up in the next couple of days. So stay tuned for that!
Last night I needed a quick thank you card for one of the produce guys at work and what better thing to give than a fruity card!
This image is from Taylored Expressions Berries & Cherries set.

Stamps: Berries & Cherries; Cardstock: White, Black, Rockabilly DSP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Crystal Effects, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a GREAT Saturday!

MFT cutie

I had big plans yesterday to tackle so many different chores and well it started off good....but then I sat down and I was done! ha!
I managed to get some important things done like go to the vet for Snickers food, the pet store for Fozzy's food, laundry and of course stamp. I still have so many things on my to-do list it isn't funny! Not to worry, I'll get 'em done....I always do!
My thank you card below was made for the WT challenge of ribbon on SCS and it also uses Mercy's MTSC78 sketch.
I stamped the PI girl from Hip to be Square and coloured her with copics. The flower was made using a blossom nestie shape and some fun MFT felt. The petals were created with the small and large oval punches from SU!. I stamped the thank you sentiment from Apple for You. Sort of a different thank you card for one of the teachers.

Stamps: Apple for You, Hip to be Square; Cardstock: White, Lemon Tart, Wasabi, Cosmo Cricket DeLovely DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Oval Punches, White Brad, Die-namics Grass, Felt, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, Ribbon, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!

Congratulations!

This week has been crazy and I haven't had much stamping time but I'm happy that I have a few things to share from last weekend!
This was a card I made for Chloe to give one of her friends at the end of the school year. A little less than 2 weeks to go! Gosh! Where did this school year go?
I inked up one of the adorable Pure Innocence Girls and coloured her with Copics. In my last MFT order I received the cool Die-namics grass...so fun! The jumbo scallops were made with the Die-namic Scallops from MFT too!

Stamps: Make Mine a Double; Cardstock: Kraft, Black, Wasabi, White and DP; Inks: memento black; Accessories: Die-namic scallops and grass, nesties, copics, dimensionals
Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment! I love reading them!

Follow Your Dreams

Last Sunday I played along with the Feature Stamper on SCS. LeAnne had a wonderful card here that had a GREAT layout for using up scraps and a pretty sentiment layer. I decided to use another new JustRite set called All Occasions Nested Centers & Verse which you can find at Stampers Dream. When I first saw the Cosmo Cricket DeLovely DP I had to get it...but I haven't used it much even though it has bright happy colours! I found that Bermuda Bay, Summer Sun and Melon Mambo inks go really well with it ;)

Stamps: JustRite; Cardstock: White, Prism Yellow, Cosmo Cricket DeLovely DP; Inks: Bermuda Bay, Summer Sun, Melon Mambo; Accessories: Nesties, Rhinestones, Bermuda Bay Ribbon, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Life Is Good

Sunday afternoon I played along with Jen's SFYTT and came up with this fairly quick card. The longest part was cutting out the tree top and surf board ;)
The designer paper is from Three Bugs In A Rug and from the Island Collection. I've had this paper for a couple of years now and thought it looked good with the palm tree. I stamped the tree trunk on the backside of the designer paper...love that it looks sort of like water! The sand was created with a piece of creamy caramel cardstock and sponged with the ink.

Stamps: Relax from Verve; Cardstock: White, Really Rust, Creamy Caramel, 3BugsInARug dp; Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa, Creamy Caramel; Accessories: Copics, Primas, Brads, Circle Punches, Sponges, Dimensionals

Stampers Dream JustRite Goodies

Good Morning and welcome to the Stampers Dream JustRite Blog Hop!
Today we are sharing projects made with some of the newest JustRite stamps.
Here I have used the Birthday Centers Round. This set includes nine sentiment stamps that are perfect for anyone. Although this set is called Birthday Centers Round many sentiments can be used for other occasions. For instance this card is one I'm giving to my husband for our wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks :)
There is something about the JustRite stamps that makes me want to go clean and simple.

Well I am the end of the hop and if you made it through all the other blogs I THANK YOU for sticking it out to see my card :)

Thanks - Live Your Dream

I'm so thankful it's the weekend and that my duties as an assistant store manager are coming to an end. It'll be nice to get back to my normal routine at work :)
I was in need of a thank you card for a co-worker who helped me out this week so I checked out Taylor's sketch #117.
It's been a little bit since making a SU! only card and I was ecstatic to find some of this dp in the back of my drawer!!! I loved this paper!
