			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">Well we wrap up each release with our monthly Year in Review group post.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">This means NEW! ideas for you using our older products. This allows everyone to go back to older items and give them a fresh new spin. Now when you purchase something you can look forward to fresh ideas in the future. That is always a plus <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  This will help you see older products you may have never noticed, or find new uses for the products you already have!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">So check out what everyone has made:</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Today I&#8217;m going to share a favorite project of mine, and that is a set of personalized cards (for myself)!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/monogram-set.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18812" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/monogram-set.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="584" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This is a boxed set of 6 monogrammed cards. Always a perfect and thoughtful gift idea for everyone!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Since it&#8217;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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Last month we released a super fun box called <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=7_5&amp;products_id=584">Card Cover-Up ©</a>. While it has MANY possible uses, its primary purpose was to gift and hold cards, so I used it today.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/lm-set.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="337" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">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 <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10">NEW! </a><strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10">Cover-Up a Card cut file!</a> </strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center">
<p style="text-align: center">The card is on the right, the box of cards on the left.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Available in PDF, SVG, GSD, DXF, WPC</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Completed Project Size:</p>
<p style="text-align: center">4 1/4 Inch Wide</p>
<p style="text-align: center">5 1/2 Inches Tall</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/monogram-setme.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="444" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This cut file is a unique way to &#8220;cover up&#8221; a card! Instead of your traditional envelope you have a elegant slip in style &#8220;cover&#8221; to dress up the presentation for every occasion. This would make a gorgeous Wedding invitation, or a stunning monogram note card set!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/Card-Cover-Up.jpg"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/lmme.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="565" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This card/envelope combination was designed to coordinate with the <strong>Card Cover-Up Template</strong>, but can be presented in any of our amazing <strong>Pretty Packaging Templates</strong>, or used all on it&#8217;s own!</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/Card-Cover-Up.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="534" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I used the label from the  <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=582">Fine Finish © </a>set, to create and customize some monogram cards for myself! A great birthday gift to me <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/close-up-lm.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18808" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/close-up-lm.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="319" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<p><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/bottom-details-lm.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/bottom-details-lm.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="319" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">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 <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=437">Dainty Damask ©</a> pattern for the bottom of my slip-in envelope. I just added a bow and flower for some more dainty details <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/cardmono.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18807" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/cardmono.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="455" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">So there you have it! A quick, fun and personalized set of cards, presented perfectly for an amazing gift!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">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!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.mytimemadeeasy.com/">Supplies from My Time Made Easy ™ LLC</a></p>

<p style="text-align: center">You really never can have too many ideas of packaging choices. I am happy to say that <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7">My Time Made Easy ™ LLC</a></strong> has OVER 70 <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7">Pretty Packaging Templates </a></strong>in store, and MANY, MANY more templates designed and waiting for release.</p>

<p></strong></p>
<p>Today my gift is perfect for the <del>men </del>boys in your life!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">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 &#8220;passes&#8221; for gifts for his friends! LOL! He is quick to point out something he doesn&#8217;t &#8220;agree&#8221; with. So if and when it meets his approval I know I did good! LOL!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">So, now that this is &#8220;Noah Approved&#8221; let me share an additional version of our <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7">NEW! Blue Collar </a></strong>template: Get Air</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/boyshirt.jpg"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/boyshirt.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="460" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">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 &#8220;crafty&#8221; 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!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/getair.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18828" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/getair.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="441" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"> The rounded collar from the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7_5">Blue Collar</a> </strong>template makes this go from a mens dress shirt, to a t-shirt.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtsk8r.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18832" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtsk8r.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="419" /></a> </p>
<p style="text-align: center">This was fashioned after one of Noah&#8217;s actual shirts, and used some of our products!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtdeets.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The sentiment on the shirt center and the lower right are from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=394">SK8R Boy © </a>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"> Now the hardest part of giving a gift to a boy doesn&#8217;t have to be WHAT you make, it will be WHAT to give!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Noah suggested XBox Live points, Gift Card, BeyBlades, Trading Cards, Bakugan and of course when in doubt give candy <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtsideopen.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="516" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Here I have some Air Heads candy and underneath are some XBox Live points for Noah <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  This was a surprise for Noah to let him know I love him on the day of my surgery <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center"> Thanks again for stopping by.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Tomorrow we share our Year in Review, so stay tuned.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">We aren&#8217;t done sharing NEW! ideas yet, so please take the time to visit:</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Today I&#8217;m sharing a super fun, and quick gift for dad (or anyone really <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p style="text-align: center">If you <del>like</del> love giving gift cards, certificates, or money, or you know someone who loves receiving such gifts (who doesn&#8217;t right?!) then this is the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10">Cut File</a></strong> for you!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10">Wallet of Wishes</a></strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center">Available in PDF, SVG, GSD, DXF, WPC</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Completed Project Size:</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/old-man-label.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18818" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/old-man-label.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="364" /></a><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/wallet-tilt.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Designed for dad&#8230;I created this out of a textured chocolate cardstock and used this amazing image from the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3">NEW! A Vintage Day for Dad</a></strong>to simply complete the look. This took like 6 minutes to make <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Love it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">This is a super fun wallet file that will perfectly wrap up some well wishes for someone special! You can wrap up cash, ccertificates, and/or gift cards as well as add a special photo and message to the receiver! Wonderful wishes of good fortune and happy times couldn&#8217;t be presented in a more fun manner!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">  <a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/oldmanwallet.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18819" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/oldmanwallet.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="578" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The tab fits into a slot to hold all your &#8220;loot&#8221; inside.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/wallet-clasp.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18821" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/wallet-clasp.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="419" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">As you open it you will see it is a tri-fold wallet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/walletin.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18824" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/walletin.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="348" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">It has a optional slot that fits any gift card perfectly (or a card made gift card size)&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/wallet-slot.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18822" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/wallet-slot.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="393" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">and it has a pocket to hold money, OR you can place your message in their as well!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/wallet-tilt.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="505" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">It&#8217;s just that easy!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">It only costs you one piece of cardstock, which generally ranges at about 0.09 cents! Now what kind of gift wrap can you buy for that?!</p>

<p style="text-align: center">  I am quite excited about sharing this next template with you! I have a LOVE for flowers, anything girly&#8230;..and just in time for Mother&#8217;s Day too!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Here is the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7">Bloomin Wonderful</a></strong> samples I made:</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/tripfleworft.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="305" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I wanted to do three colors, in different designs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/bloomtrio.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="288" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This is the top view, which really made each one fo these unique <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center">Who wouldn&#8217;t be in awe of these? You&#8217;ll be shocked at how quickly they go together too!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Available in PDF, SVG, GSD, DXF, WPC</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Completed Project Size:</p>
<p style="text-align: center">5 1/2 Inches Tall</p>
<p style="text-align: center">                                                           3 Inches Round                                                          </p>
<p style="text-align: center"> Well as it is named, this package is Bloomin&#8217; with some wonderful possibilities! Designed to allow you to have a flower topped cylindrical shaped box, this lends itself to a plethora or possibilities just waiting to bloom into a reality. This is a far better option to the real life flower bouquet that will just die in a few days. A great package for Spring, Birthday&#8217;s, Thinking of You, Get Well, With Sympathy, or Just Because.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">You will want to check out many of our amazing <strong>Pretty Pieces Cut Files</strong>, as we have many that can really add to your design possibilities!</p>

<p style="text-align: center">My favorite color&#8230;.I was inspired by the digital paper :<a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=390">Fresh Cut Expressions © Collection 1</a> ! It is a favorite of mine these days <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/thoughsc.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18795" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/thoughsc.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="474" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I created my tag using the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=569">Round Off © 34 Images &#8211; Digital</a> set, with my sentiment from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=568">Spring is Here © 31 Images &#8211; Digital</a>. It was cut out using the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=567">Fine Finish ©</a> Cut File.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/purthfg.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="567" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I used the butterfly from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=579">Bloom Builders ©</a> cut file to add to the design. I just cut and sponged on some color. Butterflies are my favorite image in the world and I cannot get enough butterfly images/products!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/thought1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18796" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/thought1.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="441" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I decided to package up a &#8220;scent-staional&#8221; gift-White Citrus Body Spray! I love having these gifts on hand for those last minute gifts I need in a pinch. They are great for friends, family, and teachers! Anyone who likes to smell good <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Even teen/tweens who can be a nightmare to give stuff to! LOL!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Next up&#8230;Honey Blossom</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/yelbee.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="711" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This design is the epitomy of quick and SIMPLE! When time is tight and you need to whip something spectacular up, then this is for you!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/yekow.jpg"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/beeboe.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="425" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I made this from a yellow cardstock, and simply added the little honey bee from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=400">Bee-Loved © </a>set.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/beesoaps.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="523" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Of couse I had to package up some natural honey soap in here too, which really complimented my simple packaging.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">My focus was on the flower, as that really is the WOW factor here <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/yekow.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18800" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/yekow.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="456" /></a><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/yeltops.jpg"></a><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/beeboe.jpg"></a><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/beesoaps.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">It was so easy to make too. In addition to the flower that comes with this template I used the stunning <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=577">Rolled Bloom Daisy ©</a> in the center, and I used my Copic Air Brush system to spray on some additional color! So pretty!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/yeltops.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="675" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now we move onto the pretty pink petal sample&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/wondpink.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18799" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/wondpink.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="575" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This one was the most &#8220;detailed&#8221;. I think sharing with you various samples from super simple to more detailed really shows you how you can dress this up or down but still have a huge impact!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I used the striped tree pattern paper from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=457">Color Infusion ©</a> collection along the bottom, trimmed with pearls and the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=79">Border Builders Open Scallop ©</a> cut file.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/chirptagsets.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="469" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">My tag was designed using a combination of images. The tag itself is from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=447">Round Up © </a>set. It was cut using the coordinating <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=450">Round Up Tag ©</a>. The sentiment, bird image and grass come from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=568">Spring is Here © </a>set! How fun that was, combining these images together!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/pinkfloe.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="435" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">For the top I used my Copic markers to color my petals, and add some dimension. I then cut the smaller flower layers (included in the template) and curled and sponege them. Add a acrylic button for the center! Done!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/pinkont.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18790" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/pinkont.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="458" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This packaged up some SWEET Godiva Truffles <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  YUM!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">So many possibilities.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/sample3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18793" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/sample3.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="294" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Perfect for so many occasions too <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">We have some more peek projects for you today!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Everything you see today will be made available for purchase tomorrow, May 1st on our website <a href="http://www.mytimemadeeasy.com">My Time Made Easy ™ LLC</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Make sure you visit the following team members for some amazing projects using another NEW! Template called <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7_5">Treasured</a></strong>:</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Now it&#8217;s time to share my sample with you!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/chestreausefont.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18777" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/chestreausefont.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="439" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I made this for my son Noah <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  He is 9 and loves putting his &#8220;treasures&#8221; in boxes, and hiding them in his room where no one will find them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Note: My sample is altered to be wider than the initial template. This template was designed to allow you to quickly and easily extend the length. Simply cut the top and bottom panels to be longer and you are good to go!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7_5">Treasured </a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Available in PDF, SVG, GSD, DXF, WPC</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Completed Project Size:</p>
<p style="text-align: center">6 1/4 Inches Tall</p>
<p style="text-align: center">4 X 4 Inches Wide</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/chest-top.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18774" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/chest-top.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="446" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This Pretty Package is a real treasure with all the versatility it can offer! With this template you can create a plethora of gifts for all ages.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I made my box into a treasure chest by creating it in a Kraft cardstock, then cutting strips in a darker Kraft cardstock, that I had printed the woodgrain pattern from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=232">Custom Construction Materials ©</a> paper!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/chestre.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="455" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">It looks amazing and realistic all the way around <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I really love how this turned out.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">My ONLY regret was not having enough brads to make this llok more authentic. I didn&#8217;t have enough to complete the box and time was ticking. Remeber I will have just had surgery and needed to get stuff done ahead of time. Oh well! I don&#8217;t think Noah will care!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/sail-falg.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="319" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The top I chose to use the &#8220;build your own&#8221; sailboat image from the NEW! set called <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3">Seas the Day</a></strong>. I added the customized sentiment &#8220;For my amazing Son&#8221; to the flag from the<strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3"> Seas the Day Sentiments</a></strong> set.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now what to put inside&#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/piratesw.jpg"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/piratesw.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="457" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Here I found some super cute Pirate designed Easter Eggs, so I filled them with various &#8220;treasures&#8221; and put them in here. How cute huh? This would make a great gift box or an excellent party favor, or table centerpiece!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"> The top and bottom panels of this are easily alterable so you can create a longer version of this box with ease, as I did in my sample today.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/treasure-chest2.jpg"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/treasure-chest2.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="567" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The package also comes complete with the lock, hinge and handle pieces to really make this simple box one to treasure for much time to come.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/chestreausefont.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18777" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/chestreausefont.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="439" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Use this package to create a treasure chest (long or stout), a stunning gift box, a mail box, tackle box, lunch box, robot box, jukebox, owl/other animal&#8230;.wherever your creativity takes you!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now how about a feminine version?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/ttres4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18850" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/ttres4.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="606" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now this is the original sample for the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7">Treasured Template</a></strong>, complete with all the bells ans whistles this template comes with, such as the pretty base, handles, hinges and lock details!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/lockandhandle.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18842" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/lockandhandle.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I used the stunning paper from <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=565">Regal Round Up ©</a> for my box design.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/trsuredf.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18849" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/trsuredf.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="587" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The top features flowers from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=579">Bloom Builders ©</a> cut file. I just resized each smaller version to 75%.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/darkdeets.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18841" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/darkdeets.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="403" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The flowers really added that something special to the top and my tag, which was made using the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=582">Fine Finish ©</a>set and cut using the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=567">Fine Finish ©</a> cut file.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/tagstes.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18845" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/tagstes.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="448" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Here I have packaged a large candle and stand!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/candletresgift.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="406" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I love how the paper matches my candle holder <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center">This template just hinges open&#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/boxopening.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18839" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/boxopening.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="630" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">and my candle/stand fits perfectly-with room to spare!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/tresdcandopen.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="522" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The dome top allows you to package up a variety of sizable items too. You can put much taller gifts in here as well <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I love that!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/sweettrewgit.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18844" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/sweettrewgit.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="459" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">See-this can be both masculine AND feminine <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">Welcome back everyone!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">As May approaches I get excited because it&#8217;s my birthday month! Yes, I said month! LOL! Since I was a little girl I always felt the month of May was all mine <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I celebrate all month long. It helps that Mother&#8217;s Day is in there too! LOL!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">We have a release JAM PACKED with some amazing and MASCLINE items this month! All the NEW! items previewed in any of our projects will be made available for purchase May 1st!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"> So if you have a special guy in your life, be it your own father, grandfather, boyfriend, husband and even your son you will want to stay tuned! Even if you struggle with masculine gifts this release will sure inspire you to give it a try. Let&#8217;s also not forget our line of <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7&amp;zenid=fd6fe4c7d89805a0fe9e3e855f283c3b">Pretty Packaging</a></strong> is quite versatile for anyone, all year round!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I&#8217;ve had a lot going on in my family/personal life, one being a very major surgery for myself.  I miss having the time and energy to share everything here on my blog but time has NOT been on my side in the last 2 or 3 years! That being said I did what I could to get ahead and really didn&#8217;t get to do all I wanted for this release, but having the amazing team that I do, they will be able to fill in the &#8220;gaps&#8221; for me when they share their amazing samples!!</p>
<div style="text-align: center">

<p style="text-align: center">Today the team and I are sharing a FUN sample using a NEW! Pretty Packaging Template called <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7">Blue Collar!</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Sadly my sample was done long before we completed all our amazing NEW! Pretty Impressions images or paper, so my sample uses older products. Certainly NOT a bad thing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7&amp;zenid=fd6fe4c7d89805a0fe9e3e855f283c3b">Blue Collar</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/xtrashirt.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18762" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/xtrashirt.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="447" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Available in PDF, SVG, GSD, DXF, WPC</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Completed Project Size:</p>
<p style="text-align: center">7 1/2 Inches Wide</p>
<p style="text-align: center">5 3/4 Inches Tall</p>
<p style="text-align: center">2 Inches Deep</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/dadupv.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18757" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/dadupv.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="463" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Whether you have a blue collar, white collar or t-shirt wearing kind of guy, this shirt shaped box make the perfect &#8220;present&#8221;-ation for a gift for that special guy in your life.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtdad2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18760" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtdad2.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="411" /></a> </p>
<p style="text-align: center">This box can present a variety of guy-themed gifts from snacks, to actual t-shirts whatever you put in here to sure to prove you had him in mind! Simply round the edges of the pointed collar and you have a sweet feminine shirt!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/dadshirt.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18756" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/dadshirt.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="511" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Here I packed up a gift card for my hubby to Chipotle!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now he can treat himself to lunch at work. He is very cheap and won&#8217;t buy himself lunch, ever! He will eat cold spaghetti-o&#8217;s if there are no leftovers to take to work (which seems to be happening more often now that our 9 year old son eats like a grown man, since he is a growing boy!), leaving me feeling bad. Now I don&#8217;t have to! I keep buying him gift cards to food places <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Always a great gift.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtdads.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="430" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirt4e.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This box can also fit standard A2 sized cards ( 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 with envelopes).</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Template comes with additional shirt layer with pointed collar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">A rounded collar and sleeve layer for a t-shirt look</p>
<p style="text-align: center">A neck tie and pocket (not used in my sample today)</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtdads.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Whichever collar you choose this is definitely going to make someone feel special!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtcollar.jpg"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtcollar.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="345" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">My sample here came together in like 20 minutes total! I kid you not <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  It is easy peasy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"> I used Kraft cardstock as the box base. My shirt layer was made using the Argyle pattern from the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=501">Cool Cooking ©</a> </strong>collection. I did some faux stitching in my collar and sleeves. For my inner &#8220;tag&#8221; I used the &#8220;X&#8221; for X*TRAORDINARY from the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=345">Monograms Defined © </a></strong>set. You could use someones initials or any of our <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3">NEW! Pretty Impressions Images</a></strong> for your gift!</p>
<p><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirtcollar.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/shirt4e.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="463" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">Today is generally a favorite time of month for our customers as we share our &#8220;Year in Review&#8221; projects. This is when we all take older products and create NEW! ideas for you all to get inspired and enjoy. I love this part of the release because you all get fresh ideas for our older products, therefor maximizing the use of everything you may already have, or maybe never noticed. I personally enjoy getting to go back and put ideas I may have previously had, but not the time to implement during a particular release.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">So today I want to share a fairly recent template called <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=7_5&amp;products_id=570">Round and Round ©</a>, made something new with it, just in time for Spring!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Pretty Purple Chick</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/birdegg2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18751" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/birdegg2.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="513" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Isn&#8217;t this little bird adorable? I had long wanted to use this in coordination with the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=66">Cute Lil Chick ©</a> Cut File to create a cute lil birdie box! I think that the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=59">Bouncing Bunny ©</a> would be *uber* cute too! I just cut, colored and layered the pieces, using my markers for some accent to the head feathers, and wings. It was SUPER quick and easy, so a great one to mass produce for family, friends, student, or teachers!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/bird-details.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18749" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/bird-details.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="396" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"> I chose to make my box for a purple cardstock, and used the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=49">Darling Dots ©</a> collection for the birds tummy. I tied a floral ribbon around it, because I fell in love with the pattern on it, as it was very Spring to me, and I have a felt flower clothes pin on the wing, for a fun detail <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I have filled this with Reese Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs (the mini foil wrapped ones). I didn&#8217;t have then during my photo shoot, but this will be great for my niece.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/bird-topegg.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18750" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/bird-topegg.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="498" /></a><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/birdegg2.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Check out the feet! SO cute! I just adhered them to the box top before layering on the top cover. It helps her to &#8220;sit&#8221; without rocking one way or the other!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/eggbird.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18752" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/eggbird.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="509" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">What a sweet &#8220;peep&#8221; just in time for Easter! Change out the colors and you could have a BlueJay or Cardinal! Use your imagination and you can make any little round creature you want!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">Welcome back!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I hope you are having a great Spring so far!! Feels so good to get creative again. I really enjoy this time of month when I make the time to share my creations and ideas for making your own gifts easy and affordable. More importantly personal and FUN!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I have really enjoyed creating project for this release, and we aren&#8217;t finished yet! We are still sharing the latest product samples using our <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=products_new">April Release Products</a></strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">So make sure you visit the following design team members:</p>
<li><a href="http://debssimpletreasures.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Debbie Marcinkiewicz</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.lorihairston.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lori Hairston</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.afternoons-delight.com/" target="_blank">Lori Kalus</a></li>
<li><a href="http://loveyourmotherearth.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mara Campbell</a></li>
<li><a href="http://pattie-g.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pattie Goldman</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.tangiink.com/" target="_blank">Tangii Crain</a></li>
<p style="text-align: center">So I thought I would share another variation of how you can utilize the templates that come in the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=7_5&amp;products_id=585">Com-pleatly ©</a> template! I love that you get 2 very fun and functional boxes with the template. The way they come together gives you a professional looking box in minutes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">So here is some use with *just* the boxes!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Tea Time</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/herbal-tea-set.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="288" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Tea-this is a favorite beverage amongst many. What better way to let other share the love and let someone else try some of your favorites or invite someone over to share some tea, and friendly chatter?! I packaged up some tea bags (these fit in either the top or bottom box <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ) in the smaller box and plan on sending a few cards in the larger box (I ran out of time due to family circumstances :C). </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/herbal-tea-box.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18744" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/herbal-tea-box.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="433" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I love the NEW! <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=587">Tapestry Trends ©</a> paper collection! Not only is it bright and cheery, but it coordinated with my tea sampler perfectly! I used the stripe pattern on the box bottom, then the floral pattern for the box top. It made the gift process quick and easy! Look how simply pretty these boxes look all done up!! I did very little work!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/tea-sides.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18746" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/tea-sides.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="387" /></a></p>
<div style="text-align: center">Once I tied the two boxes together I finished it off with my pretty flower blossom that I made using the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=578">Rolled Bloom &#8211; Scalloped ©</a>.</div>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/herbal-tea2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18743" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/herbal-tea2.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="416" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Teapot images comes from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=236">On Display 1 © 27 Images</a>. I stamped the pot in not quite navy ink, and used markers to color my flowers to match my paper, cut it out, then tied it onto my bow. Easy peasy-DONE!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">I hope you are all enjoying the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=products_new&amp;zenid=50195e38258ea224a9e09e9fd2a4cee9">April Release</a></strong> and all the amazing samples from the talented design team we have!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">We&#8217;ve releases a plethora of products this month that is sure to make your creativity bloom!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">For more ideas please be sure you visit the following team members for more inspiring ideas:</p>

<p style="text-align: center">I have many gardening lovers in my family: my 7 year old daughter, my mom, my mother in law, Jason&#8217;s grandmother, and some of the kids teachers, to name a few, so I love contributing to their joy by giving them a few floral additions to add to their garden&#8217;s and hopefully think of us when they see them in bloom.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I am always packaging up these simple seed packets so they look so much more special, and know they are given from the heart.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">This year I decided to use the NEW! <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=7&amp;products_id=584">Card Cover-Up ©</a> for my packaging <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/pantedtile.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="512" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I packaged up 6 different seed packets in here.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">As I said previously, this amazing package isn&#8217;t just for cards! You can use it with the fancy topper at the top, OR as I used it here, at the bottom!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/plantedtag.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18740" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/plantedtag.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="319" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The tie up my flowers I HAD to add the watering can image, all done up to coordinate, from the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=176">Tending The Garden © 50 Images</a>. I curved my sentiment &#8220;Planted With Love&#8221; to curve along the label I stamped and colored. It worked out great with the notch being at the top so my plastic bag could easily fit through the top!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/fowerdets.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="420" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I really wanted to use the NEW! <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=579">Bloom Builders ©</a> (Large Petal Daisy) to match the flowers that I am gifting, and I used the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=576">Rolled Bloom Modern ©</a> for the center because it looked a lot like my seed packets. It was so quick and easy to create this flower! I really am loving these new cut files, and have used them in many future projects to come!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/planted-set-choice.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18739" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/04/planted-set-choice.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="343" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I went with a older favorite paper collection&#8230;.<a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=193">Gardening Greats © Candied Apple Jack</a>! I love it!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">An important detail is layering the inside of the box to coordinate. When the gift is removed the box looks pretty! It can now be reused for seedling info or for someone to re-gift, and THAT is always a great thing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I think these would make cute appreciation gifts for a greenhouse to giveaway on Mother&#8217;s Day. It&#8217;s an  inexpensive way to market themselves by adding their <a href="http://www.plastekcards.com/products/plastic-cards/business-card.html">plastic business cards</a> inside each package. What mother doesn&#8217;t enjoy flowers? When planted the flowers can be enjoyed year-after-year, and the greenhouse&#8217;s business card will be a nice reminder to the customer where they can go to get all their seedlings for summer planting.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Enjoy the plethora of ideas and inspiration for your Spring projects!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">My project today is made using the NEW! <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7_5">Com-pleatly </a></strong>template</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowboxtop.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="396" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Being in LOVE with the fact that all our products are designed to coordniate, designing this made it easy peasy!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Starting with the amazing  <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=6">Spring Abound </a></strong>Digital Paper Collection I was able to quickly and easily create a coordinating get set in no time. </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowsetchoice.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18721" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowsetchoice.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="340" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Look at everything I designed to fit into my  <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=7_5">Com-pleatly </a></strong>template.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I love have a variety of ways to give simple gifts that are afforable and fun. I REALLY believe it&#8217;s all about the presentation and packaging of a gift is what really gives that first and lasting impression. The littlest details are what show you REALLY care <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Taking the time to package up something in a nice way speaks volumes about the feeling behind the gift no matter how large, or small it may be.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Let&#8217;s get into the details of everything shall we?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallow.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="417" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The focus of the box is the paper, but then it becomes teh coordinating label.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowlablebox.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18719" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowlablebox.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="319" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I used a label from the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3">Fine Finish</a></strong> Digital Stamp set, digitally colored to match, then cut using the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=567">Fine Finish ©</a>Tag Cut File. The label was then  layered onto the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=105">All Tied Up! © Oval</a></strong> with the ribbon slots in either end. </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/pleatunwrap.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18715" src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/pleatunwrap.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="292" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I was able to tie through my pretty lemon polka dot ribbon to create a fun band that slides on and off the box.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now to the box contents&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/unwrappedsallow.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="361" /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center">Once again I chose to use the large box and two small box combination, as I love what you can do with it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/minicards.jpg"></a><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/miniboxes.jpg"></a> First the small boxes</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/unwrappedsallow.jpg"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/miniboxes.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="551" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I felt that the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=6">Spring Abound </a></strong>Digital Paper Collection is pretty enough the boxes themselves didn&#8217;t need any extra bells or whistles.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/minicardsinbox.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="422" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Inside one box there is a set of 6 note cards (2 1/2 X 4 1/4) for almost every occasion, complete with 6 envelopes!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I made my set of 6 cards using a label from the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3">Fine Finish</a></strong> Digital Stamp set, changing out the sentiments, and printing/cutting each one. I chose to use a scaled down version of the same pattern in the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=6">Spring Abound </a></strong>Digital Paper Collection for my note cards.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/minicards.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">With digital images it is quick, fun, and easy to get a great assortment of cards made in very little time at all. You can SAVE the projects, and go back later to create MORE gift sets with little time at all since you already designed an amazing project the first time around.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/chocobox.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="385" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now in my other small box I added some Godiva White Chocolate Truffles. Chocolate is always a great option or &#8220;filler&#8221; for any gift set <img src='http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now for the large box contents</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowcardsbox.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="465" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Here is the large box with a set of 6 standard A 2 size cards, and envelopes. They tuck away so nicely in this box, and it makes a great presentation, and later a stunning place to store the cards until they get used.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/pleatboxbig.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="308" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The box in itself is a great gift on its own.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Using the SAME labels I used in my smaller cards above, I just printed and cut more of the same tags for my larger cards.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowsetof6.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="309" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Now I have a large set of card for just about every occasion too!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">I love the simple design of this card.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowsingecard.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="402" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I used the <a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/blog/?p=1283">Pretty Pattern Sketch 16</a> for the inspiration of the card layout. Using a sketch is always a great way to get creative and make it go quicker because most our time is spent in thought and execution of a design/layout. If you get the hardest part out of the way and commit to a layout you feel would work great, that is half the battle!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/files/2012/03/sallowtagdetails.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="381" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I love the label I had created using the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3">Fine Finish</a></strong> Digital Stamp set, and since changing out the sentiments, and printing/cutting each one how I was able to get several cards that are all different with little work. Combining the patterns in the <strong><a href="http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=6">Spring Abound </a></strong>Digital Paper Collection for my note cards was fun and couldn&#8217;t have been made easier.</p>
