Just A Note...More My Time Made Easy 298

Mona Pendleton | Monday, February 8, 2010 @ 9:57 PM | ,

Hi Everyone! Today, Lauren, myself & ALL the MTME DT girls will be sharing a fun project with you showcasing various MTME products!
Just A Note gift set:

One of the many things, I appreciate about Lauren's templates are their versatility & unique design! Not to mention the fact that ALL the MTME templates can not only be cut by hand with a scissors but with your personal electronic cutting machine!

You probably know by now, I love to layer & embellish all my papercrafting projects! From this view, I think it gives you a good look at how much room there is to embellish this awesome template the way you like!

I filled my mailbox with about a dozen or so of Hershey's nuggets. That sort of gives you some perspective on the size of this particular sample! The sturdy base provides extra stability to pack your mailbox with all sorts of sweet treats for that special someone!

Surely, a gift box like the © You've Got Mail will brighten anyone's day! Can you think of a time when a simple heartfelt note & little treat wouldn't cheer someone up? I inked up the © Happy Mail sentiment image from the © You've Got Mail set, then cut it out using the Spellbinders Labels 5 die, layered it then positioned it front & center!

I really wanted to "dress" up this tag so, I randomly stamped several images from the © You've Got Mail set all over my tag that was cut using the Spellbinders Labels 5 die. I inked up the sun image stamp with SU Barely Banana then punched it out with a 1" square punch, then trimmed the corners with a corner punch then layered it with a small scalloped square cut from a scalloped square Spellbinders die.

This little note card was rather simple to make. I cut a piece of the beautiful © Darling Dots DP, distressed the edges a bit with Ranger Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink, layered it, the stitched it on the 3" x 3" note card. Inked up the © Just a note image, punched & adhered it into place then added a flower embellishment. The © You've Got Mail set comes with many images that can be used for any occasion.

I hope you liked this gift set? If you create anything using any of the MTME products, please feel free to email me a photo or a link. I would love to see what you do! Thanks for looking! Now, be sure to head on over to the My Time Made Easy LLC store & see for yourself how incredible this entire collection is! For more inspiration, please be sure to visit Lauren's & ALL the MTME Design Team Members blogs to see what they have created!
