Created by Katie Cotton: My Time Made Easy Group Post: So Berry Sweet

ACK! I'm so sorry this post is going up late for those who may have already visited today expecting to find my My Time Made Easy Project! I honestly didnt realize what day it was! Haha! I need a few extra hours in my day (ones that no one else gets so i can get caught up!!!)

Lauren has done it.... AGAIN! Fabulous template and stamps that will be go to's to use over and over again! Especially if you like making gifts for people... which I DO!!!!!

Here is my little thank you set...

The MTME team is all using the Berry Sweet Basket, and stamps which were designed byKristin! She is so stinkin' talented and she and Lauren really do make a fantastic team! Not to forget Catherine who also designs for Lauren! They are a great team too! haha!

Ok, back to my project... here is this sweet basket all by itself!

I love the sweet weave pattern! The diamonds really make it look so delicate! I did opt to line the inside of my basket (yes there is a cut file for that as well!) with kraft, but you can leave the inside unlined for a true basket feel. If you visit all of the blogs listed at the end of my post, you will see some stellar samples of this!

I must say that this template is so awesome to fit ANYTHING in! ANd it is quite LARGE! THe nice thing is it's super easy to scale down (or up!) into any size you need. You may see inside my basket i've tucked some of the wallflowers from Bath and Body Works in there. I measured them ahead of time and knew my basket might swallow them up, so i scaled down all of the pieces to 80% for the perfect size for the items i wanted to fill it with!

And now the card and then i'll let you in on the new stamp goodness!

Ok, the stamps used were "built"

from the NEW! sentiment building images from the Sentimental Occasions set. You will fall in love with the possibilities of this set

Trust me!

Ok, now you HAVE to see the other samples! They are to die for! I got to peek before i made my post! HAHAHAHAH!

Our guest this month is Amy Sheffer!

Tomorrow is the official April 1st Release at My Time Made Easy ™ LLC, and we will be using the other template being released and you do NOT want to miss it!!!

Who I Am!

I'm a mama to 2 awesome little dudes, Jack (6) and Gabe (3) and a wife to a wonderful man. My life is very full and I am richly blessed! I have been a professional makeup artist for a over a decade (holy crap!) but I just LOVE to stamp and scrapbook! So in February of 2009 I started my own stamp company called, what else but... Paper Makeup Stamps! I truly love everything that I do! In 2010 I started to also do a bit of photography and by the end of 2011 I was so blessed and busy with makeup and photo work, that PMS had to turn into a digi based stamp company and I had to resign from the design teams I felt so lucky to be on but I had to refocus my extra time on family. My postings on my blog may not be as frequent as they once were, but I'm still honored that you've decided to peek in!
