Happy Thursday, Happy Sketch day!! It's time for another MTME Pretty Patterns Sketch! Visit this post for all of the deets on the sketch and how you can win a My TIme Made Easy Template of your choice! If you've followed me for awhile, you may know that I'm not really much of a digi kinda gal (hear me out here, lol), I love layers and texture and dimension. Well until I met Lauren's Digi Paper and then I went kinda crazy with digi paper :) Some of my all time favorite papers have come from My Time and are digi, plus I LOVE the flexibility that comes with digi papers. But when it comes to digi images, I really have a tough time... until tonight! As soon as I looked at this sketch today I knew I wanted to use the Tulip image from the Bee Loved stamp set. I used the digi version of this stamp set and grabbed the Tulip, then I duplicated it and flipped it... I just loved how the flipped version really filled in my focal shape. It was still a little "off balance" because of the single leaf, so I grabbed another Tulip, flipped the image and erased all but the leaf that I wanted and moved it on to the left most Tulip. The finished image... OMG! I couldn't believe I had done it!! I absolutely LOVE this card, mostly because I LOVE what I was able to do with just a single Tulip digital image :) I hope you play along with the MTME Pretty Patterns sketch team, can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Thanks for popping in!

This month's PMS Hop is all about Spring! Bring on the sunshine, the flowers, the birds and the butterflies... we are ready! For this card I used the Build-a-Sentiment set and the Butterfly from Getting Buggy. PMS is still in transition from rubber stamps to digi. New digi stamps are being added to the store everyday (designs previously released as rubber). We still are having our rubber closeout madness sale! Use the code CLOSEOUT75 to get 75% off your rubber order!
If you didn't start this hop at the PMS Blog you'll want to head right over to get the deets on the Hop and sale :) If you're happily hopping along and came here from Britt's blog, I've included the hop list below so you can keep on hoppin'!

So are you totally loving the March release? Today the team is doing "A Year in Review" post, and I've chosen the Insert Card Here template. I used a sentiment from the Sensational Sentiments digi set, so I could adjust the size of it to my tag :) My tag is the Secret Surprise Label cut file, but I adjusted the shape/size to fit my box lid... gotta love digi!!! While I love so many of Lauren's templates I think this is one I am most thankful for. I love getting gift cards and I know my kids love getting them, but I sometimes feel kinda bad giving one as a gift (even if the person asked for one!) because it just seems so "un-exciting" to open... well NOT ANYMORE!
So not only is the package cute and fun, but there's room for some chocolates (or some other little goodie) inside :) I don't have the giftcard yet, so I just threw in my Aveda card, but you get the picture. Sorry for the quick post, but I have a hubby in the other room with a movie all queued up and he's "saving my spot". Be sure to visit the rest of the team to see what goodness they've come up with!

So what do you think of the new goodies from My Time Made Easy? They are live in the store, you can see them here. A couple of days ago when I posted my project using the Well Contained template, I told you that it came with a couple of pieces, today I am using the "Container" piece. I filled the container with some fabulous smelling bath salts :) The top opens by untieing the bow, I wanted to make it easy to reseal the container and keep it looking pretty in the bathroom. I printed a page from the Spreading Spring Cheer paper pack and used it for the template, because I printed it on a sturdy, thick cardstock the container is sturdy.
Here's a close up of the paper. I LOVE the window scallop that comes with the template, it really makes the "window" look finished. Lauren is stinkin' brilliant when it comes to the details!
The label comes from the Fancy a Cuppa? Add On amd then I punched it out with a scalloped circle. I just adore this quick and easy way to package a little giftie for a friend! Be sure to visit my fellow DTers that are also posting today...
Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon. March calendar pages coming soon :)
