It is everyone’s favorite time of month!
Year in Review
This is when our team gets together to create NEW! samples for you using our old products.
This allows you to see some of our older products you may have missed, and it gives you more ideas and inspiration for NEW ways to use our older products.
So visit the team for some surprising new projects that will get your creativity flowing.
Amongst the MANY things I do, I also design Wedding and Shower favors for VERY special people! LOL! I am generally so busy with running My Time Made Easy ™ LLC that I have very little to no time to do other “jobs”.
One of my best friends got married in June 2nd, and had asked me to design her Wedding invites, RSVP cards and Reception Cards.
Given her unique color scheme of Tiffany Blue and Eggplant, she was having a hard time finding something she LOVED. So working with her colors, and ideas of what she and her new husband wanted, I went to work and this is the fruits of my labor!
In addition to these, I also designed her Card Box for the gift table, and her Wedding favors. Here is the Card Box with the Invites, Reception & RSVP cards
I custom made the Wedding Invites etc. Here is where the “year in review” part comes in….
The Card Box was designed using the A Box is a Box © template, enlarged (sides of lid shortened) to suit the amount of cards the new bride and groom would receive.
I created a “slot” in the lid.
To re-create the “Tiffany” style box I used the Abra-Bow-Dabra © It was a big hit 😀
Now the favors!
We just released a new cut file called Paper Bag.
This is what she had asked for, for her Wedding Favors.
She wanted a personalized trio of simple style gifts bags to send her guests off with some gourment chocolates. After her sketching a simple drawing of what she wanted we had this simply elegant design that looked amazing on the tables, as they were on each table as you see here, alternating colors! I love the one with the whimsical rose, as it tied everything together.
I hope they have a LONG and HAPPY life together!

It is really heartwarming to create and gift your own packaging, gifts and favors! Even the simpliest of gifts become a little something MORE!
When people find out it is NOT store bought their jaw hits the floor, and their hearts swell with joy & love knowing you took the extra time to make something just for them or theie special event. It adds that little something special, and if so much more affordable and of course personal.
I was so honored to be able to do this for my childhood friend. I am sure it will be remembered for years to come and I enjoyed it. It was especailly nice to see the reaction from family and friends of both the bride & groom 😀
Thank you for letting me share what I love, and the continued support so I can continue to keep doing something I love as well!
Happy Crafting
I hope you are ready for some truly inspiring projects from the team!
I am quite excited about my little project today! Another “vision” I had when altering the Happy Camper template, and using the Trendy Turtle template. Combining the best of both….
Do you love it?!
I used the turtle head/tail piece to turn the camper into a snail! Of course I had to use the Spring Abound © collection for my little snail shell 😀 I think it looks uber cute.
Seriously a little imagination and you can make many amazing things 😀 Just think outside the box!
The sign is from the NEW! Let’s Go Camping set. I accented the sign by making my won flowers using the Bloom Builders © in white, and the Rolled Bloom Daisy © in daffodil. I always ensure I decorate all sides of the box. This looks really pretty in person.
What a great way to say goodbye to your class teacher. I plan on packaging up some of my homemade trail mixes for the Teachers at the end of the year, with a gift card to Staples!
This project was really easy peasy!

Tune in again tomorrow because we have our monthly Year in Review projects, when the team get together, and makes new projects with our older products! The ideas just continue and you won’t want to miss it.
See you then!
Welcome back!!!
I hope you are enjoying the newest products from our June Release 😀 The team and I are here to share even more ideas using our latest products! So take a peek here:
I had posted a gender neutral turtle the other day during our June Preview
Here you can see the first turtle I share, as well as two others, designed for that special someone.
We have a girl turtle, boy turtle, and for “any” turtle.
I think you will agree that it doesn’t take much to make each one unique and they each seem to have their own “personality”! We have SO MANY Pretty Printable Paper collections that you have so many fun options that lend you endless possibilities 😀
So let’s do girls first, shall we?!
Meet Trinity
She is of course pink, and fuschia. I love the monochromatic choice of body colors.
She has a sweet smile, and some eyelashes. A little pink in the cheeks and she couldn’t get sweeter!
The colors in her shell are super fun, as they are from the Color Infusion paper collection.
In here I put some “turtle eggs” filled with some Chocolate Turtles. They aren’t pictured because I ate them, and had not yet gone to the store to replenish them for the bit photo shoot! LOL! That being said they DID make it to my friend who is a new mom and LOVES gourmet chocolate turtles from a Chocolatier in Manchester.
Next up we have Trent
What a CUTE boy gift box! I love this one.
This was designed for my brother, as she is expecting his thrid baby in November. He has two girls, and while we welcome the idea of another, we cross our fingers for a boy!
There hasn’t been a boy born into either side of our family since my son Noah, and he is 9!
I used the polka dot pattern from the Bee Mine paper collection. Easy peasy! Polka dots is always a perfect option 😀
I plan on giving them this turtle for the baby with a gift card to their local photo shop with a gift certificate to get the new baby its first photo shoot!

OK super excited about this project! It was the FIRST idea I had upon designing the Happy Camper template, and then the So Much S’more set!
Happy Days and so much S’more
So in case you can’t tell this is the Happy Camper template, transformed into a sweet little chubby S’more marshmallow, layered onto “chocolate” and a “graham cracker!! Don’t you love it?! The pattern on the graham cracker is from the Custom Construction Materials ©. I just printed the pattern on some Kraft cardstock.
I used the face from the images in the So Much S’more set, enlarged and printed it onto my “marshmallow”. I then used Pebbles Pearlescent chalks to make my rosy cheeks.
I then made a super cute tag (using the Simple Tags Round ©) to hang off the ribbon….I love it!
Obviously this is to package up S’more for our annual Summer vacation this year 😀 I will be giving out to the kids.
To complete my “S’more Kit” I took the S’mores Kit Directions and the S’mores content items (from the So Much S’more set) and printed it onto the back of my marshmallow!!
Now S’more’s Kits couldn’t get ANY more fun, functional and EASY!!

Welcome back to my blog!
We are ready with another NEW! Release! Can you believe it?
Seems like time flies between one release and the next! I get so busy before I know it is time to prepare for sneak peeks at another NEW! Release. My family keeps me busy as does all my “work” for My Time Made Easy ™ LLC. I’m not complaining, as I LOVE what I do, but admittedly juggling “work”, “family and play can be tough. I know I don’t post here as often but I am constantly working on FRESH ideas, and spending time with my family. I have not lost sight as to WHY I began this venture in the first place….share what I love by working from home,and doing so I can be there for my children, for everything. My kids will only be little so long, and I refuse to let my ambitions get in the way of my first job-being mom. I am fortunate that I can do that, and thank God daily!!
So all that being said we have an amazing design team, itching to share the first previews at some of what is to come for June 1st!
Check out the Designers Projects today:
We have some AMAZING new items for the warm weather, to celebrate my version of Summer FUN!!
Today the team and myself will be sharing a sample using the CUTEST template ever!!!
I want to introduce you to Trendy Turtle!
Trendy Turtle $5
Available in PDF, SVG, GSD, DXF, WPC
Completed Project Size:
5 1/2 Inches Tall w/Legs
Shell 3 Inches Tall
5 Inches Round
Yes!! This is a three dimensional turtle shaped gift “dome” !!
Now you can make your own turtle gift “box” for any occasion. Super cute table centerpieces, party favors, gift holder for baby, or gifts for the young and the young at heart!
Items can be stored under the large shel, l but no one will care about what’s inside because the turtle itself is beyond amazing!
I chose some yummy scented cupcake shaped bath “balls””. Makes a super sweet gift for any little boy or girl.
Just remove the shell and your gift is splendidly displayed in a trendy new way!
It doesn’t get much cuter or creative does it???
Look at his (or her) cute little face! Who wouldn’t smile at the sight of it?!
I love the scalloped shell detail, the feet, and toes…. and with all the decorative pieces and a little patterned paper (here I used the super cute Cute Critters © collection-recolored :D) you can really make each turtle fun and unique with little effort!! The team and I will share more ideas as we share more samples through the week 😀 So stay tuned!
Every detail makes this turtle so precious, from head to tail!
Thanks for stopping by to see what NEW! stuff we have to share. I could go on and on, so I hope you fall in love with this one, as much as the team and I have.

So check out what everyone has made:
Today I’m going to share a favorite project of mine, and that is a set of personalized cards (for myself)!
This is a boxed set of 6 monogrammed cards. Always a perfect and thoughtful gift idea for everyone!
Since it’s my birthday I thought this would be a nice little gift for myself. Now when I need to send a quick note I have something on hand, and it can be for any occasion.
Last month we released a super fun box called Card Cover-Up ©. While it has MANY possible uses, its primary purpose was to gift and hold cards, so I used it today.
Upon designing that box I fell in love with the angle of the top, and felt that having a coordinating card cut file would be the ultimate package, so I designed the NEW! Cover-Up a Card cut file!
The card is on the right, the box of cards on the left.
Available in PDF, SVG, GSD, DXF, WPC
Completed Project Size:
4 1/4 Inch Wide
5 1/2 Inches Tall
This cut file is a unique way to “cover up” a card! Instead of your traditional envelope you have a elegant slip in style “cover” to dress up the presentation for every occasion. This would make a gorgeous Wedding invitation, or a stunning monogram note card set!
This card/envelope combination was designed to coordinate with the Card Cover-Up Template, but can be presented in any of our amazing Pretty Packaging Templates, or used all on it’s own!
I used the label from the Fine Finish © set, to create and customize some monogram cards for myself! A great birthday gift to me 😀
You can see I digitally colored, and printed the label which I had typed my initials on, then cut the card insert layer. It looks stunning in real life.
Here you can see the detailed bottm, which the white part of the card slips into, much like a fancy edged envelope. I printed out my Dainty Damask © pattern for the bottom of my slip-in envelope. I just added a bow and flower for some more dainty details 😀
So there you have it! A quick, fun and personalized set of cards, presented perfectly for an amazing gift!
The best part about working with the digital images is you design ONCE and can get so many, you can then SAVE your work, and then with a click of a button you can change the color and have a whole new set! AMAZING!!!

Thanks for stopping by all week for our May Release. We each have enjoyed sharing a plethora of new ideas with you. I hope you have received enough encouragement to try some of the ideas you’ve seen from the team, on your own. Whether you are new to papaercrafting or a seasoned pro I think you will fall in love with all the unique ideas you can put into action for giving your own gifts to everyone!
Easy, fun, functional and affordable!
Once again we are back with some more great gift ideas!
You really never can have too many ideas of packaging choices. I am happy to say that My Time Made Easy ™ LLC has OVER 70 Pretty Packaging Templates in store, and MANY, MANY more templates designed and waiting for release.
Stop by and visit some of the team for MORE ideas on what to package up for that someone special:
Today my gift is perfect for the men boys in your life!
I have a son and I have to admit boy stuff is hard for me. That and my 9 year old son can be quite critical as to what “passes” for gifts for his friends! LOL! He is quick to point out something he doesn’t “agree” with. So if and when it meets his approval I know I did good! LOL!
So, now that this is “Noah Approved” let me share an additional version of our NEW! Blue Collar template: Get Air
Once again this went together very quickly! I love stuff that looks hard to make but goes together simply. You end up looking so much more “crafty” than you need to be to actually put this together. My 7 year old daughter assembles many of the templates I make for her own craft projects! I have some serious competition when she grows up! LOL!
The rounded collar from the Blue Collar template makes this go from a mens dress shirt, to a t-shirt.
This was fashioned after one of Noah’s actual shirts, and used some of our products!
The sentiment on the shirt center and the lower right are from the SK8R Boy © set. I just digitally colored it to match my project. My Silhouette Cameo allows me to print digital images onto my template, right where I want them before cutting! I love it. Makes creating stuff and printing digital images onto them easy as pie.
Now the hardest part of giving a gift to a boy doesn’t have to be WHAT you make, it will be WHAT to give!!
Noah suggested XBox Live points, Gift Card, BeyBlades, Trading Cards, Bakugan and of course when in doubt give candy 😀
Here I have some Air Heads candy and underneath are some XBox Live points for Noah 😀 This was a surprise for Noah to let him know I love him on the day of my surgery 😀
Thanks again for stopping by.
Tomorrow we share our Year in Review, so stay tuned.
