Owner and Designer

My name is Lauren Meader and I am the creator of My Time Made Easy™ LLC. I am just like you! Whether you are a business woman, stay at home mom, a working mom, or everyone in between, we all have the same things in common! Our free TIME (and often expendable income) is limited! Our daily lives are busy, and full of responsibilities. I have family to care for, a house to clean, meals to cook and that is just the first of many hats I need to wear daily. It can be hard to find "me" time. Many of us have so little time for ourselves these days, that we need to really maximize the time we do get to use, and make the most of it! That is where My Time Made Easy™ LLC comes in! This entire venture started with a simple goal: Sharing what I love with the world!! I began papercrafting in 2004, while pregnant with my third child. I needed something for "me". Once I inked up that first stamp I fell in LOVE! It has gone from a hobby to a passion. I love spending my time creating products and inspiration for you to benefit from in your time! I have even more to share with you here on my Words from Lauren page.

Administrative Assistant and Product Designer

My full time career is in the Air Force. I've been on active duty for the past 17 years and have enjoyed some amazing assignments! I have a wonderful, loving, teenage daughter who is my heart and soul. I can't imagine a mother being more proud of a child :]

My start with My Time Made Easy actually came about by some prompting from Lauren to start designing patterned paper. I long have loved working with different programs on the computer, but doing any sort of graphic design was completely new to me. Her encouragement was all I needed to really stop and just figure it out. I never looked back and now I'm proud to say that I design My Time Made Easy's digital paper. I also design cut files now that I know what my Cricut can actually do for me! It set me on a new, exciting papercraft path.

I still enjoy creating projects in my craft room whenever I can, but I spend the majority of my spare time designing on the computer :] Just depends on which one of my two mojos is kicking in...

I'm so thankful that Lauren took a giant leap of faith by taking me on as her paper designer! I really love working with her on new products and helping with some of the store administrative tasks. I am so thrilled to be taking this journey with Lauren and working with the amazingly talented DT she selected!

My very first introduction to Lauren and her amazing talent was back in October 2008 when she launched her very first My Timeless Templates … I downloaded and assembled a couple and I was completely hooked! I have a passion for paper crafting, and I especially enjoy creating to inspire others! I love to make unique, made from the heart gifts, and with Lauren’s fabby templates, it makes creating and gift giving easy peesy! It was such a joy and natural progression to see Lauren branch out on her own and start up her My Time Made Easy company in January 2010! What a bonus to not only have these wonderful templates to work with, but now we also have coordinating stamp images and digital papers too – WOW! Then, when I thought things couldn’t get much better than this, I was invited to join Lauren’s esteemed team of designers … oh my shabby goodness! Life is good … enjoy peeking at my gallery!

Hello Everyone, My name is Farida Rone. I live in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Proud mother of two kids, Carlos Miguel and José Armando, married with the best man on earth and the love of my life, Amin. I am the only girl in the house, so I am the queen... Hahaha... For real, this is the nickname that my husband gave me since we met. We have a little dog named Toby. I work as Administrative Assistant from Monday thru Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I am a blessed woman. GOD gave me all that a person can want and more than that… I have been crafting since my first son was born, and scrapbooking and card making, since 2009. Since I discovered this hobby I couldn't stop and now it’s my passion!!! I have been amazed with Lauren’s templates since I first discovered them. I've followed her work for some years. Her history and strength are admirable. I saw that she was making a DT call and I applied, knowing that many talented girls would apply too. When I saw Lauren’s email inviting me to join the DT, I could not believe it. I feel so happy and honored to be a part of a group of such talented girls. I thank God for this wonderful gift!!!

I am the mother of a beautiful 7 year old girl who is the light of my life. When I am not papercrafting, I work as a court reporter in Superior Court. My love for everything paper started about a year and a half ago when a friend of mine was running the Relay for Life. She needed little goodie boxes to sell at the courthouse for Valentine's Day. That is how I found Lauren and My Timeless Templates and then the My Time Made Easy designs. I instantly fell in love with them and so the fun began!

I feel so privileged to have been asked to be a part of Lauren's design team. I have always enjoyed crafts, but I especially love being able to take paper and make it into something beautiful. Lauren's templates are so easy to assemble, but they look like they took hours (every crafter's dream). I love the way every project has accessories (paper, stamps, etc.) to match that make the end result so stunning. I hope you will get some inspiration from the designs I create using the My Time Made Easy Products and that you will try them too. There are certainly a lot of talented designers on this team and I look forward to gaining some inspiration from them too. I also invite you to join in on some of the challenges that MTME has on their blog. They are so fun, and I love seeing what you create using Lauren's products.

Hi I am a married stay at home mum to two great teenagers. I have always been into crafting one way or another; making my own clothes, soft toys, cross stitch. After having my children I started with paper crafting making my own cards. I am very lucky to have a small cottage industry selling my cards in my local village. I was introduced by a friend to blogland a couple of years ago, I have and still do designed for a few challenge's. I stumbled upon Lauren's designs by chance about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. My Time Made Easy templates make such wonderful gifts and the instructions are so easy to follow I am so very giddy to have been asked by the very talented Lauren to join her design team and also to work along side such talent ladies.

Hi there! I got into papercrafts seriously when my daughter, Lauren, left home. As it turned out, papercrafting was a wonderful way to take care of empty-nest syndrome! I do work full time as an office manager, but every spare moment is spent creating. My husband and I live in 103 year old house and I love everything vintage. When I first saw Lauren's templates several years ago, I first thought: "How cute!" and then "How smart!" Lauren's templates added another dimension to my creativity. I watched as she opened her own business and now I'm thrilled to be a part of her design team with such creative women!

Hi Everyone, I'm Mara! I am a molecular biologist for a biotechnology company by day and an avid paper crafter by night. I live in Southern California with my homebrewing husband and my 2 active kids. I have loved scrapbooking and paper crafting for as long as I can remember. I was the unofficial photographer for my group of friends in high school and my love of photography and paper crafts grew from there. I have been a huge fan of Lauren and her templates for quite a few years. Her blog is one of my regular blog circut stops. I really enjoy making gift bags and personalized treats for friends and family. Her templates are so user friendly and I have used quite a few for gifts and altered projects over the years. I love being able to use paper to make a big impact with a gift. I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to be part of this talented design team. I cannot wait to share my creations with you!

I am so thrilled to join Lauren and her team at My Time Made Easy! I have loved her templates, papers and stamps since the first time I created with them! I have enjoyed them even more in the past six months as a member of the Pretty Palette Challenge Team.

My love for all things crafty began in high school where I found myself scrapbooking literally everything! After the birth of my two children, scrapbooking my family memories led me to find a love for creating altered items, gift packaging and eventually brought me to card making. The innovative templates at My Time Made Easy combined with the beautiful papers and stamps make them so versatile! I love crafting my own gift packaging and cards for every occasion. Joining this great team is something I have wanted to do for a long time...and it's finally come true! I hope to inspire you to create beautiful projects with Lauren's amazing products!

I am a full time working Mom of 3 amazing kids, and married to the most wonderful man in the world! When I'm not working, or hanging out with my kiddo's & hubby I LOVE making things myself...baking, cooking, making jams & preserves (my newest obsession), quilting and of course, all things paper crafting! I had scrapbooked for many years, but just started stamping a couple of years ago. I used to do Lauren's challenges on her blog and I loved them because the challenges always changed and they were "out of the box" type challenges. While I LOVE making cards and want to get back in to scrapbooking sometime soon, Lauren's stuff really hits my "sweet spot". Like quilting, I love taking "this piece and putting it here" and then "taking that piece and putting it there" and "adding this element and that element" and after a bit you have this amazing project! Luckily Lauren's templates come together MUCH quicker than a quilt, and are MUCH easier! I have always really liked Lauren's templates, but when she started My Time Made Easy with coordinated stamps & papers with phenomenal templates and cut pieces....oh my goodness, I was just giddy! I look forward to sharing with you my creations using Lauren's amazing goodies!

I have worked with Lauren for quite sometime now. First it was her blog, then her challenges and even Etsy. When she contacted me to work with her on a store what else could I say but "OF COURSE I WILL!!!!!" How could I refuse? Lauren is one of my absolute favorite clients and also one of the nicest people I have ever met! Lauren has given me the opprtunity to grow my horizons in so many different ways. *She just doesn't even know, or maybe she does?! ;D* I have been here for each release and for whatever else Lauren may need. I am still designing added features to the My Time legacy and plan to hang around for a while! Heck, I'm even considering getting myself a Cricut. I just adore working with Lauren, she is a creative genius with ideas flowing from every crevasse of her being and I just love watching her store grow with each release!
