Hello friends!  Today begins the previews for the My Time Made Easy June release!  And it's all camping related!  Today we are revealing the new template called Trendy Turtle.  Where is the turtle, you ask?  Well the MTME templates can be used in many different ways, and that's half the fun!  Today, I just made the shell of the turtle (you can see Lauren and some of the other girls' full turtles!).  For the base I used Dusty Durango cardstock and paired it with one of the new digital paper packs being released called Smore Smores.  (I was just eating smores this weekend...yummo!)  I tied up the "shell" with some chocolate satin ribbon.  There are so many things you can put into this.  It's quite roomy! 

For the card, I took one of the hexagons and increased the size, made two of them, then welded them together using the SCAL program and cut it out.  I made a mat with the digital paper by sizing it down.  The sentiment is from a set being released this month called So Much S'more. (Are you seeing the theme here?)  I punched it out with a Marvy punch and added a bling flourish.

Pretty Palette #62 - My Time Made Easy

Are you enjoying your weekend?  We are having fun at our cabin!  Great weather too!

We have new colors for our Pretty Palette challenge and I really think you'll like them! 

 I really like these colors together.  The paper is from DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket.  It had the pink and turquoise in it I needed.  Then I cut the flower out using the My Bee Loved cut file and stamped it with the coordinating stamp.  I used copic markers to color the flower, from Bee Loved stamp set, and added star dust stickles in the center.  The sentiment is from Sentimental Occasions.  That panel was cut with the deckled rectangle nestie.  I added the crystal flourish from Want to Scrap.  Pretty easy card!

Stop by these blogs to see more inspiration using these fun colors.

Just Us Girls #138 - Photo Inspiration Challenge **New**

Happy Saturday and Happy Memorial Day weekend!  I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are changing things up a bit over at Just Us Girls.  We have decided to retire our 3D/Template challenge and replace it with a Photo Inspiration challenge.  We hope you enjoy this type of challenge.  You can go wherever your inspiration takes you!  Vicki has chosen some great pictures to get you crafting.  I love today's...blue and brown are some of my favorite colors!

 I took the colors, the stripes and the teddy bear from the inspiration photo.  The pattern on cake reminded me of this retired SU paper called Parisian Breeze.   I stamped the teddy bear on one of the patterns in chocolate chip ink.  The image is from Baby Button Bits by PTI.  The sentiments are from Bitty Baby Blessings, also from PTI.  The doily is from a Martha Stewart pack.

 The sketch is from Taylored Expressions.  I guess they are discontinuing their sketches.  Bummer, because I've always loved their sketches.  But there are a lot of sketch challenges out there (on of them at JUGs!).

 You can see what the JUGs design team did with this inspiration photo at these blogs:
