BIG ANNOUNCEMENT...My Secret, Behind the Scenes Work ;]

So, today is the day!!  My BIG announcement about all of my work behind the scenes!!  Many of you are aware of Lauren Meader's new venture in starting her own online store called My Time Made Easy ™ LLC.  WELL...today is also the day that Lauren is launching her store!  YAY!!!  Finally ;]  Be sure to grab her blinkie and sign up for the newsletter if you haven't yet!  That's where you will receive the code for a FREE template ;]  If you are signed up for the newsletter, make sure you find it in your email so that you can grab the code and use it before it expires on Christmas!!

Lauren is offering Pretty Packaging© (her AWESOME templates), Pretty Impressions© (her NEW, ADORABLE stamp line), and Pretty Printables© (digital paper packs) designed by yours truly, ME!  OMG!!!  Yes, Lauren asked ME to design her digital paper line for My Time Made Easy ™ LLC!!!!  PINCH me, please ;] 

Speaking of pinching me, one of Lauren's AWESOME templates being offered for sale is "In A Pinch©"!!  She debuted this template last month on her blog and received a HUGE response from her readers...with good reason!  Just LOOK at this adorable, "pinched" box!  Isn't it cute?

 

It looks difficult to put together, but that's the amazing thing about Lauren's templates!  She does all the hard work so that we don't have to!  This went together in a jif!  Oh, and it holds a TON of stuff!  Look at everything (minus the coffee mug) that fits inside of this!  2 bags of Ghiradelli chocolate and caramel flavored coffee, 2 vanilla cookie sticks, and a pouch of Ghiradelli cocoa...AND I had room to spare.  I could have easily added a little bag of chocolate chips or caramels to go with the coffee!  When you untie the ribbon the pinched area expands to the same dimensions as the rest of the box, so it's no trouble adding those things that JUST fit (like two small bags of coffee).

I used eyelash yarn to single-crochet a length that I glued to the curved lines of my striped panel.  I also crocheted a flower using the same yarn in the hopes that it would turn out looking like a big snowflake.  I think it looks more like a snowball than a snowflake, but it's different and cute so I went with it!  LOL

Sooo...check out that striped paper and the snowflake punched from the blue snowflake paper!  Oh, and check out the top of my box, you can see a peek of my blue polka dot paper. Isn't it striking?! I LOVE it!  Yep...that's the paper I made! 

We are releasing three, 12-page sets of Pretty Printables© digital paper packs today:

The 12 Days of Snowflakes©
That Hit the Spot©
Throw Me A Line©

The 12 Days of Snowflakes© is being offered as a permanent FREE download, so be sure to grab it and whip up those last minute projects just in time for Christmas!! All three packs coordinate perfectly with each other. That Hit the Spot© is being offered for only $3! That's a 50% discount!!! Be sure to scoop that up before it reverts back to regular price! Throw Me A Line© is a striking collection of complementary colors that are sooo versatile - especially when coordinating with The 12 Days of Snowflakes© and That Hit the Spot© papers!

Oh and don't forget to check out the amazing templates!!! Cutesy Cover© is a permanent FREE template as well and you can view Lauren's gorgeous sample using the snowflake paper in the store ;] Isn't it pretty?! Let me tell you, it is by far the easiest template I've ever put together! I have so many ideas for this template...you can view one of them in a few days if you keep up with my blog ;]

If you create anything using the paper I designed, please feel free to send me an email so that I can view it!  I'm so excited to see what others do with my Pretty Printables© paper!
