OH! Boy!!! Wouldn’t you know it, I have been busy!!
A very good kind of busy 😀 You will learn more about that soon enough (wink!) Sometimes there truly aren’t enough hours in a day. Well despite the hustle and bustle going on at my home, I have a special post for you all! I hope you get as excited as I am over this. If I could find a better term to describe the fact that I am OVER THE MOON, I would!
Today the entire design team from Papertrey Ink took part in a giveaway for Cath Edvalson to celebrate the Moxie Fab Blog-o-versary! Each of us on the team had a stamp set to use, and then had to create a card, sign it, and send it in to Paper Crafts as part of the giveaway! How fun! The focus was to be on a newly released holiday stamp set. I got to use Holiday Button Bits. A set that I’m totally in love with.
Now, I have a hard time following instructions because the idea was to create a card for the giveaway, but I couldn’t help myself! I HAD to use the NEWEST My Timeless Template © for this month’s release called Home Made!!
NOTE: This template will NOT be available for download until November 15th! SORRY!
This is what I came up with for the Giveaway
Gingerbread House
You can get a chance to win this on the Moxie Fab blog today!
How cute is that? I love having a cookie couple.
I took total advantage of the gingerbread men in the Holiday Button Bits stamp set, and used it to create my gift box, complete with “cookie exchange” tag!
I love gingerbread men this time of year, and it really is the perfect cookie (or theme) for a holiday cookie swap! OR as a nice table decoration for the holidays 😀 As kids my mom ALWAYS had a yearly tradition of decorating gingerbread men. I just wanted to eat them warm out of the oven.
I decided I wanted to really fancy it up, so I had to use a NEW! Heart border punch from Martha Stewart to go around the roof . I was thinking Hansel & Gretal!
If you are wondering…yes! It is a 3D house!! The roof topper comes off (you will see that another day) The template is complete with chimney, and dormers! One for the front and 2 for the back! You can of course decorate as you see fit! I will have much of that stuff to share over the next couple of days! So be patient 😀
View from the top
The roof has printed shingles, and there is a complimentary stamp set to add to the design of this template! (again I am purposely being vague-since the focus today is on the giveaway and Holiday Buttons Bits stamp set)
What a FUN teaser though huh?
Side view
Now I always think it is important that ALL sides of something like this be attractive!
You can see I used the bow from the Holiday Button Bits set as well. Makes a cute gift, sitting in the snow.

Supplies:
My Timeless Template © Home Made

Now, last but not least….. we move to the back…..
I used a tree from Merry & Bright to add to the decor!
I also use some more buttons to look like wrapped “candy”. Just another CUTE detail
There is of course some glittery “snow-hills ” along the bottom of the house too.
Just so sweet.
I hope you like what I had to share today. I had FUN making this, so I hope whomever it goes to, gets some use out of it 😀
Now that is all I can share TODAY re: the Home Made© template! I promise MORE details will follow soon, as this release blows the roof off the template world-literally!

Well you’re certainly on to a festive winner here Lauren – can’t wait to get my template and make a few Gingerbread Houses of my own!
You are AMAZING! This is adorable.
Wow, Lauren! I think this is my favorite template you have every done!!!!
Amazing, as always Lauren! I was so excited when I saw your house on the Moxie blog! I was hoping it was the new release!
Hi Lauren,
I’ve been holding off on all crafty spending as my DH has been out of work since last November, but this is too great a temptation. I’m going to splurge when this template is released. I just love it! Thank you for all your hard work.
Wendy
How do you continually come up with such fantastic ideas!? You are just incredible!!
Wow! You rock. This is amazing.
This simply adorable. Love the way you decorated it.
My oh My! Wowzee!!!
This is awesome….. I’m a former preschool teacher and WOW this would be a Fab tie in with the Gingerbread Man books to make as a wintery treat for the children.
How fun is this template!! I wonder, can you add a piece of chipboard to the inside bottom and maybe add the ingred. for a real gingerbread house … is it big enough inside to hold all the different candies used on the real gbhouse, or both?! This will make a really cute gift Lauren, you are so very creative!
Love it! Can’t wait for the release! Love all the beautiful detailing! thanks for sharing!
Lauren, you are AMAZING ! Wow, this is just so cute and adorable – bet your kids loved it.

Oh I love it. Super cute!
absolutely ADORABLE! Love that little house box. This came out great Lauren, can’t wait to see what else is coming this month — have a super day!!
Hey Lauren! Thanks for helping me celebrate the Moxie Fab World’s blogiversary! Your gingerbread house is so cute, I wish I could just gobble it right up!
Cath
Lauren this is beautiful – you’ve put so much work into it. The end result certainly justifies your effort.
I like the littletouches such as the snow drifts!
This is TOO awesome! I can totally see how much fun it will be with the complimentary set – I’m guessing that it includes doors, windows, etc to help decorate the gingerbread house! Is the door and round window new? They look like they’d all go with PTI’s Sneak Peek #4! If so, that’s such a cool idea! From paper dolls to paper houses! How totally fun is that!!!!!!!!!
Too cute!!! I love it, and can’t wait until the 15th to download it! I recently lost ALL of my templates that I had when my computer died ( and I hadn’t gotten around to backing them up- I know I am an idiot!) so I have to re purchase them- think I will just wait now and do them all on the same bill!
can’t wait to see your other samples!
Diane
Well I can certainly see why you’re over the moon on this Lauren. It’s just so creative and fabulous! I love all the details you have added to this. The wrapped candy button is just adorable!
Wow, Lauren again your creative brain amazes me! This house looks sooo cute! I can’t wait to see the rest of the sneak peaks! Gem x
Lauren, this gingerbread house is so sweet!!!!! I love it ♥

I saw this on the Moxie Fab blog this morning and fell in love!! Funny story…I tried to make a dog house for a gift for my sister-in-law to carry dog treats using my new Wags ‘n Whiskers Furry Friends stamp. My SIL was dog sitting for us so I thought it would make a fun gift. Anyway, I tried and got fed up. Ended up making this instead…

Funny thing is… I said to myself…Lauren will eventually make one that I can use as a dog house!! LOL So Thanks!! I can’t wait to make one…I love all of your templates!
