My Time Made Easy September Release and Color Throwdown #108

**UPDATED POST a/o 3:00pm, 1 Sep**

So, I'm back from the original post this morning with all the deets!  Today is the September release for My Time Made Easy as well as the Color Throwdown #108 challenge!

First off...here is the palette for the challenge Laura is hosting on the CTD:

And my card:

When I first saw the stamps that Lauren is releasing today to coordinate with her new MEGA template (Shop Around), I immediately thought of how perfect the images would be for cards!  I know, I know...they're MADE for the template, but seriously, they work beautifully on cards also!  SO easy to use because they're adorable and versatile!  Something that My Time Made Easy prides itself on...  I needed a thank you card for a friend, so I used one of the cupcake images and the "Hope your day is as sweet as you are!" sentiment.  Both are from the "On Display" stamp set.  I stamped the cupcakes in Timber Staz On, paper pieced the cupcake holders with the Nomad Darling Dots (scaled and printed at 2"x3"), colored the icing and cake with Copics...I then used clear embossing powder to give the icing a little shine (I can't find brown embossing powder anywhere around here).  I used flat backed red gems for the cherries.  Everything else is pretty self explanatory.

You've gotta check out what Tammy is doing with the images on her cards also...she's our newest team member and is whipping up cards left and right!  All in the nick of time mind you (since we got the products to her JUST before release time)...this girl works amazingly well under pressure :]  If you missed my previous sneak peeks at our paper, you can view them HERE and HERE.

I will be making a shop very soon!  I have everything printed and cut, I just need to assemble :]  I've also been inspired by both Tammy and Lauren to make a card using the window from the Home Improvement stamp set or Shoppe Window.  Their cards were soooo adorable!  I want to CASE them :O)  The rest of the team has created some very unique cards and templates as well.  You DON'T want to miss their projects!!
