Well this finally wraps up all the design team projects from our May release!! Today we celebrate with a blog hop!
Please make sure you visit the entire team today:
They should all help get those creative juices flowing for you, as each one shares a unique project idea!
This was a fabulous release! I really enjoyed all these projects, and I still have MORE ideas that I really want to put into fruition.

I am going to try to keep the ideas rolling this month after I take a little break 😀 I’m exhausted!! I do however have another project idea for you using the Trendy Tool Tote ©
Funky Flowers For You
How cute and fun is this?!
I LOVE the colors : Charcoal, Green, Pink, Yellow & Red! So summer!
I really wanted to use the flowers from Sensational Stems ©, and images from Paper Pattern Pieces © to create some super fun and funky flowers for my tote! I was surprised at how many different looks I was able to actually achieve, and am just over the moon with all the ideas.
So I used the stems then a little imagination to combine and layer all sorts of flowers! I made sure there was a lot of dimension too!
The butterfly is the open line butterfly from All A Flutter. I stamped a layered flower on the right part of the wing. That butterfly ROCKS because you can make it look like you have a MILLION other butterfly stamps, just by stamping other various images inside!
The “grass” was made using the diamond (or as we like to call it at MTME Lattice) pattern, and a row of adhesive black rhinestones! This just ADDS to the funktified awesomeness of this!
In my Trendy Tool Tote © I packed in 6 various trail mix pouches from Target! They are SUPER yummy and relatively healthy to snack on.
As you can see this tote hold a TON of great stuff. Plus as previously stated it is very sturdy 😀
I made mine for a friend who is trying to eat healthier. When they are all gone she can put this somewhere to store whatever else she wants! As we all know there are ENDLESS possibilities for this template!
I may just make one for my own counter, so hold pens and notepads etc! It could even be a great mail sorter, recipe holder, seasoning holder, perfect for bath and body products, maybe even in the living room to sort your remotes, and TV guide 😀 I can always think of a million things.
Seriously look how cool my funky garden is! I love this one! It will be hard to part with.
Supplies:

Pretty Impressions © Stamps- Sensational Stems, Paper Pattern Pieces, Puckered Up Patterns, All A Flutter
Cardstock by Couture Cardstock: OSW White, Informant

Well thank you all for stopping by the past week or so! I have enjoyed sharing with each of you 😀 If I don’t get back here to post for Mother’s Day I hope you all enjoy it!
I want to share a poem with you, that my friend Tanya shared with me last year. I loved it so much, and thought any mother could relate!
I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day, and remember that mother’s shouldn’t be celebrated just ONE day a year! Our kids do something everyday, that makes even the hardest times worth every second. So try to look for your moment, in each day.
Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom –
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do
tests
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to
put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I
couldn’t
stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so
much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom –
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry
baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so
important and happy.
Before I was a Mom –
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10
minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the
heartache,
the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much, before I
was a
Mom.
I will be spending the day with my children, and cherishing each moment I can!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Very cute project! Love it!
Have a gloriously Happy Mother’s Day. Do cherish every moment with your sweet little ones – they grow up so fast. My baby boy is 37 and it seems like only yesterday I held him in my arms, fed him, and rocked him to sleep. What sweet memories!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful project and the POEM!
I totally agree with Mary above, they grow up really fast! I have 3 children…lol. They kind of laugh out loud when i refer to them as my kids considering they could have been parents themselves. 2 of them are now Medical doctors and youngest have one more year to graduate from Uni.. Where’s the time gone!
We already celebrated Mother’s day in the UK…(I think Mothers should be celebrated everyday)
So to all you girls across the pond, wish you all have a wonderful pampering Mothering Sunday!
{HUGS}
Mary…when I read your comment I cried!!! I have four children 20, 18, 8, and one who turned 7 today! My 20 year old is my only daughter and this is her first Mother’s Day. She blessed us with a grandson 5 weeks ago. This is truely a time for reflextion and sweet memories.
Lauren thanks for the poem and the project. I will be putting that poem into my daughters Mother’s Day card.
this is so sweet! Have a wonderful and fantastic mother’s day!!!
