I’m here with Day #2 of the My Time Made Easy ™ LLC September 1st Release peek projects!

So many SWEET sets, and so little time! I feel like I could create about 100 different projects with this release. While I actually won’t be making 100, you all will receive OVER 40 different project ideas between myself and the team using these new release items over the next 10 days! Our Gallery will be LIVE on the 1st, so make sure you keep checking in as the team and I load new projects daily!

Today, some of the team and I have some SUPER SWEET projects for you to drool over 😀 Hop on over to:

For someone sweet!

My kids love candy, and what better way to present it than in a Sweet Treat candy store?!! When I think sweets- I love the color combination pink, red, and green!

Today I chose to create a Sweet Treats themed store using the NEW!  Shop Around & Accessories Mega Template and the On Display 1, Sign it, and the polka dot border from the Home Improvement set.

This is the “front” or side of my themed Sweet Shop!

I stamped my door from the Home Improvement set. I used the Home Improvement Pretty Pieces Cut File for the door, sign and shop window.

I wrapped a fancy brad  (tabs cut off) I had on hand, in cellophane to create a pink peppermint candy! Super fun and simple! You could also use cardstock, buttons, or REAL candy!!

I used the stairs template from the NEW!  Shop Around & Accessories Mega Template. I stamped my stairs using a border image from the Paper Pattern Pieces for some WOW! factor. To complete the scallop design I used the Border Builders Open Scallop for my trim along the bottom.

NOTE: It is very difficult to get a good photo of your shop window, when your awning is casting a shadow! LOL!!! I wanted to get an additional light source to light up under the awning, but all my bulbs were burnt out (I always drop/knock over my photo lights! GRR!).

Our NEW! Pretty Impressions stamp sets (releasing Sept 1st) really allow you so many options for creating some amazing THEMED shops and window displays (hence the name :D)!

From a candy store, ice cream parlor, flower shop, pet shop, coffee or tea house, new home/home improvement, welcome baby and bakery…..the possibilities don’t even end there!

To create my theme sign, I stamped the sign, “sweet treat” sentiment, and mini version of the lollipops from the Sign It set!! The images in the Sign It set coordinate perfectly with the On Display 1 set.

In my window from the Home Improvement set, I stamped one of my FAVORITE images from the On Display 1 set  that takes me back to MY childhood-the Gumball Machine! It has a “gumball” image that allows you to easily stamp a rainbow of gumballs with ease. I also used the CUTE lollipop image too! I LOVE IT!

The think what I LOVE most about On Display 1 is that not only is this set perfect for the Shop Around & Accessories and the Home Improvement set, but it features great images and sentiments that are perfect on their own!

As you can see I stamped the images IN the window, and even added a sentiment to it-just like you’d see on an actual store window.

I used the  Shop Around & Accessories to create my awning! I simply cut the template from both white, and green cardstock. I cut the green awning into strips (using the scallop as my guide) to make my dual colored, realistic, 3 dimensional store awning. I think it looks *just* like an old fashioned shop from back in the early 1900’s! They just don’t typically have these types of stores around anymore like they use to.

Now for the side window

This is part of the Shop Around & Accessories. This is the window, and the window box.

The flower box stamp image from the Home Improvement set stamps perfectly on the Shop Window Box Accessories!! I love the idea of a 3 dimensional window box. Some people don’t actually stamp so I wanted this Mega Template to be as complete, and user friendly as possible! Oh and as I mentioned a million time, and I am certain is blatantly obvious by now-I LOVE 3 dimensional details.

I added some “grass” (aka wool roving) to my flower box, and popped in some petite Prima flowers!

The curtain valance was made using the patterned curtain from the Home Improvement set, stamped horizontally 😀 I HAD to add the butterfly from the Tending the Garden set. It looks like it is enjoying fluttering over the roses in the window box.

It just completed the entire look for me.
