I don’t even want to think how many hours I spent bloggin this week! It took me WAY longer to blog this stuff than it did to make it-I kid you not!!!! I may not even be making any sense by this point.
OK you can now pinch me! I have my very own template line! My Timeless Templates © is REAL!I have my own line, with my own sections! I have a description page, my disclaimer page (for those questions of what is, and isn’t ok), and my templates library page! Im OVER THE MOON right now with excitement!!
I am hoping that MOST of you have or planned to download the FREE template, to give it a try, and see what you are getting for you $5! I’m sure you will happy once you get creating 😀 You have NOTHING to lose!!
In the meantime scroll down because I have 3 challenges today!
I hope you use these challenges as the PUSH you need to give it a go.
Box of snow
OK this template for the For Keep{sake} box was my very first template for the My Timeless Template © collection! Yes you read it right, the very first thing I designed. I totally love this box, and hope you will too. It was my favorite creation using the new release items! The Made from snow man is perfection.
There are so many possibilities that can come from this template, so lets see what YOU can do!
Challenge : What can YOU find to fill your For Keep{sake} box with? Will it be a fun item, or homemade gift? Maybe something edible-YUM!
Rule: *TRY* to incorporate some BLING. Anything that has a little shimmer, or glitter. Now notice I said TRY! I just want you to enjoy this one 😀
Keyword : MyTimelessTemplateFKC03 (For Keep{sake}challenge 03) Use that when uploading to an online gallery so we can all find it. When you are done creating/posting, share a link here, so we can all see your creation with the templates!
Now for my creation- I just loved this one!
This holder is so quick, simple and pretty to hold those YUMMY Lindt chocolate truffles!
I just used glossy cardstock, and the versamark resist technique to stamp my snowflakes, then brayer on some blue ink, only 1/2 way along the template, so you get the look of a snowy sky, with winter snowdrifts. I then cut out my snowman for the front of my window. CUTE!!
My Timeless Templates ©-For Keepsake
Stamps-Snowfall, snowfall additions, made of snow
cardstock-glossy, and white, acetate
ink-pallette black, bashful blue, versamark, copic
other- adhesive rhinestone, circle punches, glitter, liquid applique, polka dot ribbon, MS blue ribbon, rubber brayer
OK now its your turn to create your For Keep{sake} box! I am having so much fun with this, I really hop you are too!
I am always open to ideas and suggestions, so don’t be afraid to email me 😀

Lauren,
I am in love with all your idea’s! I just told everyone about them and gave them a link to come see all your cool samples of the Templates on my Blog.
I can not remember if since MaKenzie did the Sketch this week if we were supposed to give you a link or not? Here is the link since I am not sure.

I can not believe how awesome all of your samples for your Templates are! WoW
Congratulations on your new endeavor (sp???)
Heather
You go, girl! {{smiles}}
Okay, I’m pretty sure I can take on the challenge…. I have a few things bouncing around in this ‘ole noggin of mine!
🙂
Hugs!
Hi Lauren! Love your templates & ideas… I just tried to download the freebie and give it a go, but it is a zip file. Anyway they can be changed to .pdf?
Jennifer
Oh, I’m so excited. I just downloaded the free one and am on my way back to PTI to purchase the other two!!! I can’t wait to play with these templates. The ideas are just going crazy in my mind, now to just get them created with paper!!!
Ok…purchased, down loaded and printing! Can’t wait to play! Sooo excited for you! : )
It certainly is a great all around box which can have many uses.
Love that you’re doing challenges! One suggestion though – you might want to change the keyword to something a little shorter? Like maybe MTTFKC03. With the long one, people are bound to mistype or put spaces in, then we won’t be able to find them all. That would be sad. 🙁
oh YAY!!! I just downloaded my free template and purchased the other two, I can’t wait to play with them! Congratulations and best of luck for lots of success!
I am also going to let all of my blogging buddies know about your templates! I love em 🙂
Of course I downloaded the free one! Thanks, Sweetie, and I purchased the one that you are showing today! Yippee!!! WAY TO GO, LAUREN!!!!
This is gorgeous! I just now downloaded the stocking template. I can’t wait to try it!
Great Holiday gift giving box….the possibilities are endless!
Thanks for sharing. Will go download my stocking template now. Your so sweet to share a freebie with us. Good luck on the rest of the templates in sales. How exciting to be an entrepeneur. You go girl.
Shelby
Love this will have to get these templates!!
Pinch.. 🙂
Congratulations, Lauren. I just downloaded your free template and am in the process of ordering the other 2 (as well as a few items from the new release). Your samples are just awesome!! I just can’t wait to play!!
Dear Lauren a very well deserved congrats to you I am so very excited for you. You never cease to amaze me and others I am sure. I am so happy for you that you have been able to make a dream come true with all your very hard work and determination. You are inspirational. May God bless you as you set out on your new adventure. Thank you for the generous offer of the free template I am sure I will be collecting all of them. Oh and one last thing do not forget to take care of yourself. TFS.

I have all 3 of the first templates!! I can’t wait to get to play. I love making my gifts – stamping and sewing. So this was a great addition.
You WOW me everytime. I don’t know how you really do it with 3 kids. I have 3 and usually my time is late at night.
YOU GO GIRL – I am so happy for you.:)
This is gorgeous! I love the colours – I wish I had time to play along. Congratulations on your success.
I purchased this download last night. I am so happy to see examples of how to use it. The examples are so valuable to stampers who feel creatively challenged. I hope your down load templates will feature a truckload of examples all in a prominent userfriendly place. This blue box is beyond fabulous! Beautiful work. Thank you!!
love it – pretty colors!
This is another great box idea! With so many sizes and shapes to choose from, we will eventually be able to find a box for any use on your template site. I am so glad for you that you have this wonderful opportunity!
Swedie
Your samples are just super cute. I just love the name you picked for you templates. Just keep them coming and before you know it you will be famous! Just remember us in blogland.
I LOVE THE BOX IT´S PRETTY
So awesome Lauren! I am going to check it all out!
Oh my, what else do you have up your sleeve. You have been one busy lady!!! I love all the samples. I hope you sit back and enjoy now.
I love your templates and purchased the box, but am unable to download it?????? I managed to get the free one…after much struggle! As soon as I can successfully download, I’ll buy the other one.
It shouldn’t be this hard….could you please have someone
SIMPLY explain to those of us who are not computer wizards
what we should do?
I always get the pdf files so easily…..maybe like the examples of the recent Christmas card posts…but with a password??? Anyway…please help of you can……I LOVE your work!!!!
Thanks,
Margaret
just thought that i would let you all know that if you use the program Winrar, it will open the zip files and allow you to see the folder with all the pdf’s.
also the newer windows should do this for you automatically.
hope that this helps.
i have a little project to post tomorrow… i need daylight for good pictures.
–cheers
