The silence is over, My Time Made Easy March release is HERE
>> Saturday, February 27, 2010
The silence is over! That means my intermittent posting gets to be filled with some fun crafty ness! In other words... its sneak peek and release time! WOOHOO!
Today i get to share my first peek into the release from My Time Made Easy. Now i know this is only release number 3....but truly, My Time Made Easy is just getting better and better and better! I am LOVING this release and just know that i'll be using these templates and stamps over and over again! To get all the details, as well as see some amazing other creations, be sure to check out Lauren's blog everyday!
My project for you today uses the Card Catch All.
Let me just say, this came at a perfect time, because it's my girl Jenn's birthday today (i'm just praying she does read my blog before i see her today! haha!)
This catch all is truly a catch ALL! I kinda feel like there is nothing this baby cant handle!
There are lots of options too with how to adapt it to your own needs. You can add in the inserts (that come with the file) that act like index cards to create fabulous organization. (this is something i did not do... this time ;) ) You have the option of adding or not adding the divider creating 2 spaces (which i did) and there are lots of other embellishment options.
I decided to create 2 catch alls with the dividers and then adhere them together back to back to create 4 nice sized compartments. Here is an overview...
So the front side you've already seen, filled with cards for just about every occasion! It's the perfect grab and go card caddy so that you always have that last minute card handy.
The opposite side i've filled with card making goodies. There is a pen (because you have to have a good pen!) and a little notepad to keep addresses and other notes in. In the front pocket i've filled with extra embellies and prestamped sentiments, making for more quick cards when you need them!
Ok, back to the front of the catch off for a bit! :)
Here is a view of the card catch all without everything inside. I wanted to be sure that you saw all the scrumptious curved details! I just think it makes it look SO elegant!
And now, a peek into one of my new FAV stamp sets ever!
So Sentimental...
That little quote is just one of many many sentiments in this set. There is 1 4x6 sheet full of sweet quote sentiments for every occasion and then 1 4x6 sheet full of larger sentiments that fit beautifully into a gorgeous image stamp. Oh stay tuned... more pictures of those coming up!
And i just had to show a close up shot of these flowers. I would love to say i made them, but i did not. They are by Martha Stewart. haha.
And now... those lovely large sentiments i was telling you about... well i used them to make very simple yet elegant cards to fill the catch all!
So thats what i have for you today! But there is so much more to see and drool over!
Today the Just Us Girls Challenge blog is showcasing some wonderful things

Oh MY! Katie -- I love this!! the catch all, the cards -- GORGEOUS! I love the detailing on the top of the catch all with the button and circles... the cards are perfect - simple, elegant, and WAY classy. Home run!!
Katie, You really did a wonderful job with the new Card Catch All template & stamps! Thanks for showing us the inside as well!
Wow! Great project Katie! Love it! And the colors you chose are so fabulous! Can't wait to get crafting with this stuff!
what a great project! you did a fabulous job :)
Amazing! What a great gift idea, I can think of so much this can be used for!
Ooooh la la Katie - love this - it's funny how we make all these cool gifts for people and don't have such a great set for ourselves.... It's totally beautiful and I love the color combo. All the small details make it just perfection. I really like how you made two of them back-to-back. :-)
Katie, I LOVE your little, double desk set! What a clever idea and great way to maximize the possibilities with the template! I see we like the same sentiment (among MANY others) in this set :] Oh and your cards are fabulous! You made my paper look soooo elegant :] I'm sure your friend will adore her handmade gift.
Happy birthday to your little guy! Have fun at his party ♥
I love this! I think I may have to make this my first purchase from MTME! Wondering how long it takes you to do all this. So much detail!
