OH! BOY! Am I ever running late:C
Quick post that I will return to edit.
I DO have a sample, but didn’t get my photos edited. I had last T-Ball game today (in which Noah lost his tooth while running the bases!) and PROMISED Jay I’d take him out to a Chinese Buffet Lunch! So I have to run.
I have been working on a BIG announcement coming (possibly) Monday! Depends on if I get everything done-but its looking good so far :D)
SO trust me my excuses are good and valid 😀 (Oh and I DID get ALL my 23 teacher gifts-Noah added his new teacher to the mix! LOL!) They all got a Pack A Picnic in some version, with home-made strawberry jam OR Orange marmalade jam 😀
So here is the challenge:
Template Challenge: Use any one of the My Timeless Templates ©, and CREATE your OWN patterned paper!
Link your creations HERE
Now my “paper” ended up being MUCH simpler, as I ran out of time, to do my original intended project-so I will try to post that this week.
All in all I LOVE my project 😀
A Strawberry Picnic
OK this totally counts for MAKING my own patterned paper! LOL!
I used Polka Dot Basics and White Craft ink, on Pure Poppy cardstock, to make the polka dot patterned paper. (I know! EASY PEASY! SORRY!) My lid was done usingNew Leaf cardstock, and an EK Slim border punch.
I used my newest template Pack a Picnic ©, to create a large and small Strawberry like basket!!
I know this is UBER simple-but people, I had 23 teacher gifts to make, I’m all about the SIMPLE WOW! This set took about 30 minutes.
It is going up for sale on my Etsy Shop!
I didn’t give the large one away (and kept one small one for the complete set) I love how the mini fits nicely in the larger basket! I have gotten so much feedback on this template! So many surprised at how large it is, and roomy! All GOOD comments!! Only BAD thing (and its totally not bad :D) I heard was “Its so much bigger than I thought, now I have to go get some more stuff to FILL it!” -Jennifer C.
YEAH! That is a great thing to hear!
Strawberry mini close up
I made a bunch of the mini Pack a Picnic“Strawberries” to hold my Strawberry Jams. The minis took about 7 minutes to complete each.
I fell in complete LOVE with JustRite Stampers soon to be released set (yes! I got a sample :D) called Preserves Set. So cute: Grown, Picked & Preserved. Wait till you see the set-LOVE IT!!!
The strawberry is from Lizzie Anne Designs Tutti Fruity
The berry tops are flocked with green.
Isn’t it cute?! I had fun making them and that is all that matters!!
Check out the team:
Thank you for stopping by , and I hope you find time to give it a try at some point in your own busy week.

Sorry guys. I posted the wrong link at first, so the first submission is not right! The second one (#3) is the intended…. Lauren, is making jam hard to do?
Hey Miss Lauren ~ I don’t know if I can ‘validate’ you ignoring your Peeps *wink*, especially leaving your tease about a BIG announcement on Monday!! 😉
Can’t you just give us a little, tiny, small, itty-bitty hint?

Oh I can’t believe how much it looks like a strawberry! So cool! This is probably my fav template to date…and it is HUGE! Love it (and the polka dots definitely count as your own dp!)!
What an adorable project! Definitely looks like a strawberry!
This is fantastic Lauren – I can’t believe you made 23 of these – OMG! I HAVE to get this template – I just think it’s fab!!!
Wow Girl! Twenty-three – yikes, I could never pull that off! Those teachers are going to love you because these are absolutely gorgeous – stunning! you always have something fabulous to show us!!!

You made 23 of those baskets!? Where’s mine? 🙂 I got the challenge done!!! And I challenged Ken to either let me stamp & do his crossword puzzles while his ankle’s broken or he had to pick one of your templates
assemble & stamp it himself.
Sorry for the second post. Blast it laptop post it when I didn’t want it to.

Great basket Lauren!! Patterned paper is patterned paper girl – and these are ADORABLE 🙂 Way to go!
Lauren, what a great idea. I totally love the strawberry theme. You have done some great projects with this template. I look forward to seeing what you do every day!!
Love those strawberry’s! I do love the pack a picinic template and like others I was very surprised with the size. I can’t belive you made som many but I’m sure you have it down to a science putting them together. Great job.
this is just so cute! I love it!
i just LOVE this!!!! This template is fantastic and i’ve loved everything i’ve seen made with it!
I just love your creation and this template that I was inspired to play along for the first time! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is now my favorite!!!! How adorable!!! Love it! This would be fun for a Strawberry Shortcake bd party for a little girl! Imagine filling the little box with lipgloss and girlie things! (I have boys, but this is just way too cute!)
So cute! I made a Pack a Picnic box for my Daddy’s Father’s Day gift. My husband looked at it and said, “This is nice!!! How long did it take to make this? Could you make these for party favors or to put Christmas gifts in?” And then when I put my Daddy’s coffee in it DH said, “Why are you putting that in there?” It’s for Daddy’s gift. DH looked crestfallen and said, “Oh. I thought you made it for me!” Ah! But I have it ready to make again using Basic Grey’s Boxer collection papers – for DH’s birthday gift next week! 🙂 He’ll be thrilled. DH isn’t “all that” about just any old thing – I cannot tell you what a *high* compliment it is that he is totally diggin’ the Pack a Picnic template and box.
Lauren,
Thank you so much for putting together those Timeless Templates. I purchased a whole bunch and used one last tonight for my Stamp Club 8 members and they all loved it! They all want to do more of the lovely picnic basket so I sent them the link to purchase your templates!
I can’t wait to see what you’re gonna come up next!
Thanks for the inspiration,
CeeCee

Lauren, I love your cards! After I saw your blog post this morning I clicked over there and bought a couple of the stamps. I love digital stamps. Anywhoo, I already stamped, excuse me, printed one off and used it to make a card. I will be posting it on my blog tomorrow. I love how they color up. Thanks so much for this wonderful heads up!!!
