I have 4 amazing announcements! Given the last 2 weeks I’ve had it is wonderful to be able to say that!

1) We are home!!

One thing I can say is my life is ever ANYTHING but BORING or DULL!!

Alexa is home and looks amazing, just in time for her 11th birthday!!

No one really had any idea how bleak the situation was just a week ago. I have to shout it from the roof tops that Alexa was truly healed by God, once again. 

It is truly a miracle by God’s hands, because the doctors told us they didn’t think she’d pull through this. Nor did they anticpate she do so, and so quickly. It was anticipated she’d get worse, before better, and they weren’t giving me anything to hold on to. They were playing this second by second. It was definitely THE scariest time for me because they always TRY to give you a positive statement, and this time they had none. Obviously as her mom, I had to refuse to believe that, and remind myself she has a purpose in this world. Alexa IS a fighter. She is truly the strongest person I know, and has touched many lives.

I prayed like never before, and reminded God of his promise to me years ago (read Alexa’s story), when I know he actually spoke to me. At that time, he promised me Alexa would be taken care of by him. That she was his child and I needed to keep my trust and faith in him. I was told “Do not believe the words of man”, but the promise of him.

He often brings me to knees, and reminds me of his power, and unending love. Alexa has been a walking testiment since before birth, and had the eyes of every person she came in contact with during this time, in disbelief of her recovery. We do have some possible complications that can arrise, but we are being both cautious and hopeful.

MORE happy news!!!

2) Tomorrow Alexa turns 11!! What a celebration of life that will be for me! I can’t even get into it, because I am still quite emotional about everything.

3) Im over the moon to say OUR HOUSE SOLD!!!

We priced it to sell and it did within one month!! With this market that is a true miracle. All our hard work and prayers paid off. The inspection is tomorrow (on Alexa’s birthday) and we fully expect everything to go well! Our house is all newly renovated/updated and everything looks good, so I think it will be OK. The family buying it is expecting thier first baby soon too! Our home is perfect for them 😀 I have a very good feeling about everything.

4) The today we heard back from the bank that they accepted the offer on our DREAM HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we are closing on that house the end of October!! I can’t even wait. We have 4 bedrooms so each child will have their own space! We have an amazing yard, and amazing neighbors. We couldn’t feel more blessed. The house is perfection. Everything I had on my wishlist 😀

So needless to say things are really looking up! I feel so blessed because everything seemed to all fall apart, thenin the same turn suddenly all fall into place, just like it was all in God’s hands!

I will admit it was hard dealing with house negotations while Alexa was in the hospital. I am a control freak about that stuff, and God really showed me what was important, and again to trust in him, and what is meant to be, will be! We just prayed about everything, and handed it over to him.

Well thanks for letting me share all the good. Its nice to be able to return with so many positive things to announce! I hate when things are ALL negative.

LASTLY the October Release peeks begin tomorrow!

I have busted my HINEY to get my projects completed and blog posting/samples done. So please keep that in miund this release! It was/is very difficult for me to swing everything and I’ve done my best to be SUPER WOMAN! LOL!

So I hope you enjoy!

Dear followers of My Time Made Easy,

First and foremost we would like to thank you profusely for your prayer requests. Alexa is a shining example of the magnificent power of prayer. It looks like Alexa is on the road to recovery since entering the Pediatric ICU a few days ago. The day before yesterday, they removed her oxygen mask to allow her to breathe room air (GREAT sign of her progress). The doctors are amazed at how well she is doing and how swiftly she is improving. Yesterday they moved her to the regular Pediatric ward to finish her recovery. She has a puss pocket in one lung that could cause serious complications so they’re observing her closely.

Lauren said that they’re not sure when they will be discharged, but she’s thinking maybe next Tuesday. We hope for their sake that happens because little Miss Alexa has a birthday coming up! She will turn 11 on Wednesday :] How great would it be for her to be able to spend it at home with her family?! Lauren sent a picture of her today in the hospital gift shop holding a gigantic fortune cookie. Doesn’t she look great?

Lauren is also on the road to recovery and starting to feel much better. She’s has been pretty tired from tending to Alexa throughout the night, but seeing her improve is helping her own recovery and also helping her to sleep the past few days :]

We would appreciate you keeping Alexa and Lauren in your prayers until they’re completely out of the woods.

Also, keep an eye out for the October release! Peeks start on Wednesday also. You can get in on one of the new sets now by placing a pre-order or purchasing the digital set. The pre-orders are set to ship on October 1st, but you may notice that if you already placed an order yours might arrive before the 1st. Some of the shipments were already mailed! That’s just a small example of the stellar customer service you can expect from My Time Made Easy.  You can check out Lauren’s blog post about the Spooky Surprise PRE-RELEASE!! <–It can be found here.

Thank you for checking in and continuing your prayers for Alexa and Lauren.

~My Time Made Easy Design Team~

Dear Followers of My Time Made Easy,

This post is coming to you from Lauren’s Design Team, not from Lauren herself. We wanted to let you know what’s going on since Lauren has SO many faithful and devoted followers. Lauren’s daughter, Alexa, was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia a few days ago. Unfortunately, she is progressively getting worse. Right now she is only using 25% of her right lung to breathe…the rest is filled up with “junk”. Her condition is severe enough that she has been transferred to a bigger hospital that can better manage her condition. It took the docs no more than 20 minutes to admit Alexa to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at this hospital. Lauren has limited access to the internet; however, she is a mom first and foremost, and is completely focused on her daughter right now. That being said, the rest of her life is on hold. On top of everything going on with Alexa, Lauren has been diagnosed with pneumonia and a sinus infection. So, she’s not only coping with her daughter’s condition, but her own as well.

We plan to go forward as a team and bring you all the new release posts and peeks starting next week. We hope you will stay tuned for this next exciting release!! Be sure to check out Lauren’s blog post about the Spooky Surprise PRE-RELEASE!! <–It can be found here. You can pre-order this super fun Halloween stamp set to be shipped on the 1st of October OR you can order and download the digital format now!!

While Lauren is tending to Alexa at the hospital, you can contact Kristin [[email protected]] with any questions or concerns about products.

Meanwhile, please keep Lauren, Alexa and the rest of the family in your prayers. Lauren is 100% devoted to her family but she also considers her customers and followers to be part of the My Time family as well. Feel free to leave comments here for Lauren. She’ll enjoy reading them with Alexa when she is well enough to come home. If you would like to send a card (or Dunkin Donuts coffee to Lauren – ha ha 🙂 to raise their spirits, please send them to her home address:

Alexa Kauppila
11 Manchester Street
Pittsfield NH 03263

Huge THANKS to this amazing group of papercrafters! We know your prayers will be appreciated.

Well the kids are in school, and already got nasty colds! SHOCKING! LOL!

How is your September going? Can you believe we are almost MID month?! Goodness gracious.

Wow is this ever a crazy time of year! I know once mid August hits (usually Amber’s birthday week) I go pretty crazy from then until January, and that was before I started my own company, so it will be even more so! Time just FLIES.

Anyway, just wanted to pop in quick with a card I made using the On Display 1 set., and some of the coordinating paper!

The paper was a mix of patterns-something I love doing 😀

I used the Pretty Printables: Cherry on Top and Sweet & Sour Sweethearts Paper bag

I love telephone images. I am a “talker”, not a text-er! LOL! The two sentiments “Let’s Chat!, and Hello are perfect for this.

I have a few friends I don’t talk to nearly as much as I would like these days, so I’m sending a few of these out, to let them know, I AM here, just been crazy busy. As I’ve said juggling things isn’t always easy….and sometimes other things fall to the back-burner, and that has been some of my dear friends.

So I hope this lets them know I’m thinking of them today.

I love these little phones. I added a dew drop to the center of the phone, to make it 3D

I used a blending paper on the chocolate phone, so my ink bled a little :C I won’t use that again unless I am coloring!

You can read more HERE!

She is asking:

 $15 for the $24 sets

 $10 for the $15 sets

and $2 for the $5 set. 

Happy shopping!

What a whirlwind of a release! Is it bad to say I'm wiped?!

I have much more to share and while we *just* came off the September Release, I am kickin it into full gear for October, where we have our holiday releases begining. 

We have a SUPER set designed by Catherine Doucette called A Spooky Surprise! Details to come soon. It will be available pre-order soon, so stay tuned, as supplies on this one will be limited. I'm also excited to share that we have a NEW BLINKIE to match the store.Pick your own up HERE <---

Well today is the last of our “official” September Release projects.

By now you’ve seen well over 32 ideas/possibilities for using the NEW! Shop Around & Accessories Mega Template in coordination with our 4 NEW! Stamp Sets *also available in digital*: Home Improvement, Shoppe Window, On Display 1, and Sign it!

Today we all have MORE ideas using these great stamps so I hope you will HOP around.

 I of course, have a matching set!

This used the NEW! Shop Around & Accessories Mega Template, along with the coordinating Homemade Card & Envelope Cut File

Fashioned after my own home (minus the purple flowers)

My house is white with black shutters.

I made this as a gift to my Realtor. I’m certain I am driving her insane, and I’m praying this will be a replica of the next house she SELLS! HA!HA!HA!HA! A girl can dream right?!

For my house I used the door, windows, curtains, flowers, grass, mailbox,and bush images from the Home Improvement set!  The butterfly you see if from Tending the Garden set.

I used the Custom Construction Materialsfor my “vinyl siding” and my “wood shingles” on my roof. The look like architectural shingles I have on my home now.

I then used the Construction Materials for my 3 D stairs.

It is great when you are in a rush and want a colored in pattern, already done.

My door, and windows were all cut out using the Home Improvement: Coordinating Cuts file

Here is the side with the mailbox. You can see I stamped the grass all around the bottom, and colored my flowers.

TIP: Do all this prior to assembling your house

Now we go around to the back

You may be confused…..you recognize the window, and the curtains (which I stamped the solid curtain in amethyst, and the patterned one over it, in eggplant), but WHERE is that table, and vase from??

Well that is a little peek, that I couldn’t resist sharing. More on this one next month!!

Anyway, I drew in my carpet and wall paper.

Notice the fence along the house….that was made using the fence from the Home Improvement: Coordinating Cuts file! I just welding a bunch of the fence image together! I stamped the wood-grain pattern on the fence, and even used a silver pen to mock the look of “nails” in the fence.

I used the same Home Improvement: Coordinating Cuts file for the little shrub. It can also be a cute cloud.

Now how about that card?

I used the coordinating Homemade Card & Envelope Cut File for this. It really makes the coordination of the card so much more fun and easy!

I decorated this to look *just* like the side of my house (above), because that is the side that faces the street. Our door is facing our driveway, which runs along side of the house. Currently there is a big’ole FOR SALE sign sitting in our yard, and I’m hoping that will soon be replaced with this SOLD sign instead! 

 I used my label maker and the boutique sign from the Shoppe Window set. The key image is from the Sign It set. I loved having that as part of this collection! The Best Wishes with verse is from the ever popular So Sentimental set.

Can’t you see Realtors giving these out to their clients?!

 If my house sells before Christmas I will make my Realtor a bunch of these 😀

Pray for us that happens quickly! I have a house I dream about but we can’t make any moves until someone wants our home.

I am hoping you all get some creative time in today 😀

I’ve been quite busy here.

As promised I have a video tutorial for you today, so I can show you how easy it really is to utilize the Simply Sensational Shoppe Digital Paper. This collection was created specifically to be used with our NEW! Shop Around & Accessories Mega Template. The paper package features 10 different complete Shoppe designs in both a PNG and JPEG format.

You will want to grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and really take the time to view the video I have to share today, and read the post.

Kristin Bueter has a card to share today!

Also your newest design team member: Lisa Kind has her first solo Release project to share today too!

Here is what she says about her peek today

“A teacher I work with just got married in August and our team wanted to get her a gift card, and we needed something to present the gift in. I decided to make a wedding/bakery shoppe using the Shop Around Mega Template in her wedding colors. She wore an ivory gown with a pretty blue sash, so I went with those colors.”

Onto the videos!
This crazy 2 part series took almost 4 days between creating, attempting to download, then having to retake the videos, so I could create 2 separate NEW videos. Anyway, if it helps or inspires you I’d love to know that it was worth the effort. I feel like I never want to do another video again at this point! LOL!

Video Part 1

Video Part 2
 

In this video I will have showed you how to use this amazing Simply Sensational Shoppe Digital Paper, and I will answer some popular questions about the paper pack in my video.

This video will explain:

* the difference between a PNG and JPEG format, and how each is used.

* Why there are dual colors in the paper images, and how to change them.

* How to use your digital image in coordination with your digital stamp images and/or other patterned papers!

* How to cover/remove unwanted pieces

* How to use your favorite patterned papers to add those same colors to your design Simply Sensational Shoppe Digital Paper

There *may* be an additional tip or two I am forgetting to mention, but you will know everything after watching the video.

Now how about sharing my samples?!

There are so many amazing possibilities when you purchase this pack! I will show you just some ideas for how it can be used, so if you

You can mix and match Shoppe elements, digitally color them in, and save for future use, OR use them in black and white, so you can hand color! (a great project for the kids) You can even use our Digital version of our Pretty Impressions images to further add some designs to this paper collection. OR use the Digital versions to make you own.

This template & digital paper combination is sure to allow you to QUICKLY and EASILY make these stunning themed Gift Shoppe for any occasion, all year long!

We are happy to say we are going to offer even more Shoppe themes in the way of stamps and digital papers, as the holidays come around, and may even add a few must have “accessories” to the  NEW! Shop Around & Accessories Mega Template! So stay tuned.

So that lead me to the projects featured in my video!

Aren’t these the CUTEST Pet Shoppe boxes ever?

Amber’s friend got a BAD case of poison ivy, and she bought her this little dog to cheer her up! Of course we had to create a home for it, so we made these. (I had to make two because Amber then got mad her friend was getting one, and she wasn’t :C)

SO this is the lil’ pup that her friend will receive. If I were a child getting this I would have been over the moon!!

As you can see each Shoppe theme comes with 4 decorative panels for all 4 sides of your Shoppe to be designed.

As seen in the video, I customized mine even further! Added a dog house with the dog, on this side.

Paw print on the door here. Flowers in my flower-box!

All around this is simply cute!

Now I took this same design, and layered it over the Custom Construction Materials instead.

On this one I made the top of my awning 3D

This is the back/other side

ALL the same design, just layered onto a different background! It makes it look like a whole NEW! house!

Now I should share the card that inspired my Pet Shoppe themed gift!

Paws-itively the best!

The dog image is from the On Display 1 set, and was stamped in a shimmery beige ink. I then stamped the grass from Home Improvement.  The addition of the heart on the dog bottom is from Bringing Home Baby.

I made my own patterned paper using the paw prints are from the Sign It Set, and the heart/argyle pattern I created using the Argyle Amazement set! SUPER SIMPLE, and SUPER CUTE huh?

I love the little dog in this set. It was actually designed after the lil dog shaped colorful purse my daughter Amber carried around!

I loved the silhouette so much that I drew this one for me to have in stamp format 😀

As you can see I stamped colored and cut the ear, and put it on a dimensional. I added a googlie eye too. The dog nose was stamped using the dot image from the Argyle Amazement set!

I love the little paw prints I stamped at the bottom adding the little heart that is also on the dog 😀 This ribbon actually inspired this entire creation.

Did you have an enjoyable holiday? Feels like summer is officially over once Labor Day comes and goes.

Today I’m feeling sentimental and a bit long winded. So bear with me here!

Today you will want to visit Tracey Cuccia for a super sweet project.

Here is what Tracey has to say.

“Here in NY, it’s back to school time.  In fact, today is my daughter’s first day back.  I started last year, getting her a little ‘something’ to start off the school year.  A treat just for her…now to most it may not be a big deal, but she loves all sorts of yummy smelling goodies, so I got her a thing or two to take to school, and some for use at home…see how I packaged them up to mark this special day…”

Make sure you stop by to visit Tracey

The kids are back at school, ALL full time, and I can’t even believe how much I can accomplish with a 6 hour block of time. My house is spotless and I’m creating up a storm! Next month’s release will be HUMONGOUS, because my mojo is in FULL SPEED AHEAD. I really start gearing up for the holidays once the 2nd week of September comes.

The kids (Noah & Amber) started Soccer season, and Alexa is starting dance class again. She use to dance a log time ago, but once she got Cancer, that came to an end. She is finally feeling better enough to start again.

I haven’t posted photos in a while….so here you go!

Alexa Grade 4

Age: 10 (almost 11)

My miracle. I can never get over how amazing she is, and  her personal growth in all areas, year after year! She is not a baby anymore. It is hard to try and remember that.

Noah 2nd Grade

Age: 7

He looks *just* like his dad. He is becoming quite sweet & charming. SO tall too.

Amber 1st Grade

Age: 6

My baby. Enough said.

Amber also got glasses this summer…..

I think she looks REALLY cute in them, even if she hates them.

How time flies! All 3 of my “babies” off to school. Soon it will be college, then their own apartments. I tear up at the thought.

I took them to the park yesterday, and as I watched them play, I tried to burn that memory into my head. My children, still young enough and full of innocence, yet old enough to be independent in so many ways. I want to remember the images of them running through the park, trying to do the monkey bard, and sliding down the slides. I want to remember their little dirty faces, and thier little voices. I want to remember the energy and excitement they have, the sounds of their laughter. I sat there watching, and remembering when they couldn’t play in the park with out the help of my hand, or a push on the swings. Now every now and again I get a glance over the shoulder, and a smile with a wave! Or a look at me! Oh how I cherish those days.

So as I try to settle back into a routine, which is new to me, with the quiet that come with the week, I am hoping to re-do my special video tutorial. Its been absolutely crazy here this week, as I am sure you can all relate. I have SOOOO much I want to get done, and am hoping I can actually achieve all I have on my to do list this week.

OK, sorry about getting side tracked!

 How about a SWEET project?

Now use your imagination……I used the Shop Around Mega Template, to create a Cupcake Themed Sweet Shoppe.

Now I say use your imagination because this was designed to look just like a CUPCAKE. When I showed my husband he said’ That’s suppose to be a what? Its doesn’t looke LIKE a cupcake, but it IS cute.”. SO he didn’t see the cupcake idea at all. So use your imagination. My kids “got it”. Oh well!

So, while I failed miserable at that, I still think its’ adorable. Here is how I tried to get it to look like a cupcake……

See my base of the Shop Around Mega Template was made from Kraft (to be like a chocolate cupcake-without the overpowering brown of a chocolate cardstock), and then I used the Picket Fence paperto print my pattern on some vellum cardstock to imitate the look of a cupcake wrapper, complete with scalloped border.

For my roof…..again going with the CUPCAKE theme, I printed the polka-dot pattern from the Shopping Shirley’s Candied Thistlestalk collection. onto CANVAS cardstock. Yes it looks and feels like canvas! I wanted some obvious “texture” for my “frosted with sprinkles” look.

I added the bow-with a Button to imitate a cherry on top! You can’t really see it, but I used some embroidery floss to even make a “stem”.

In the Pop Up Window I used the face of the clock image (punched out with a  inch circle punch) from the On Display 1 set so it looked like a real Shoppe with the clock at the top! I think its a super cute option instead of a window!

Anyway……my Shoppe Window is of course 3 D! I stamped the window panes on a acetate layer for the realistic look of an actual Shoppe window.

As you see IN the window I have my Shoppe Counter (made using the wood grain image from Home Improvement), where I stamped 3 cupcakes from the On Display 1  set, and colored them to match.

My Boutique sign has the sentiment “simply sweet” instead of the “boutique. That was done with the digital version of Shoppe Window & the On Display 1 set.

For some more details I stamped colored and cut out the dog from On Display 1 .

Now my lil’ bushel in the corner was created my stamping the smaller bush image from the Home Improvement, multiple times, then using the solid gumball iamge from On Display 1, as my “flower/berry” buds.

The right side of my box had the Shoppe door from Home Improvement.

I made sure I DRAGGED my ink across the door so it appeared to be a woodgrain pattern. I stamped/colored/cut the lantern.

In the “attic” windows I stamped a heart from You’ve Got Mail stamp set. I love that little touch!

On the left side of my Shoppe I used the main image from the You’ve Got Mail stamp set!!

 I just used that same cute cupcake from the On Display 1 set on my mailbox! It personalized it even further, and I think it’s a super cute addition to this template.

Now for the back.

The simplest part, but it may be my favorite! LOL!

I just stamped my Homemade sentiment from the Sign It set, and back to the You’ve Got Mail stamp set, I used the little house image to create my label! I love it. Sometimes its the little details that make a BIG deal.

I love using older sets with newer ones! If there is anything I can tell you it is to ALWAYS go back and try to mix, match and coordinate! It feels great! You really feel like you got your monies worth. I was even thinking that this could be SUPER SWEET as a Jam/Jelly Shoppe using the Well Preserved set, for wrapping your jams and jellies, or fruit flavored/scented/themed gifts! Basically ANY older image set would be a great Shoppe!!!!!!

When I say this Shop Around Mega Template had limitless possibilities I MEAN IT!

If you are tight on time check out our super cute Simply Sensational Shoppes! They are amazing. You can quickly and easily color, print, and cut. Perfect for mass producing gifts too.
