Created by Katie Cotton: My Time Made Easy Group Post: A Year in Review

It's time for another Year in Review post from the My Time Made Easy design team!

Ok... I know i stated yesterday that my post would be short and sweet and then it wasnt... tonight... IT WILL BE! It must be! I'm pooped and have a 12 hour day tomorrow! AHHHH!

But i do love what i do! So i cant complain!

Anyhoo - here is my project for you using an oldie but goodie mixed with a newbie!

The Pick of the Petals Template...

With one of the new stamp releases, Keep Strong available both as acrylic and digital!

I realize my card/tag perhaps isnt as done up as it could be, but i just thought the word out stood out so beautifully with a little airbrush and the addition of the cut out flourish (similar flourishes adorn the template box). The use of he copic airbrush inside the nestie really makes it pop, don't ya think?

Here's a close up view of the template solo...

The paper used on the template is also from My Time Made Easy. It is from the Darling Dots pretty printables paper collection.

And just in case you were dying to see an overhead view...

Be sure to check out the rest of the MTME girls and their projects today in our Year in Review Post!

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!
