One thing I have learned is that time waits for no one. Do not put your dreams off until tomorrow. Live your life today, to the fullest. Have no regrets. One of the worst things you can do, is to NOT do anything! To say someday “I should have”, when you didn’t. I don’t ever want to be that person, wondering “what if”.
I am always re-evaluating my life, and setting new goals for myself. As the new year approaches, like always, I started to reflect on where I have been, where I am, and where I want to be. With that reflection, it has come time for me to make some major life changes.
Like the caterpillar who morphs into the butterfly, the change isn’t quick, nor is it easy, but it is necessary, because the caterpillar is meant to be a butterfly, and in the end, the result is beautiful.
It is now my time for change. To make my dreams take flight.
That dream was having my own store for all my template creations, with coordinating stamps and digital papers!
I wanted to continue my passion for sharing what I love with the world, and make it easy and affordable!
While the idea of going on my own is scary, it is the next logical step for me. I have been doing this for some time, and I feel very ready to take the next step in my journey.
I am excited to announce that I am now opening my own online store called My Time Made Easy © LLC <—CLICK IT!!!
My Time Made Easy © LLC is going to provide you with the basics for creating your own coordinating handmade cards, tags, and gift packaging in no time. It is fun, affordable, and we made it easier than ever! I have always said that it really is all about the TOTAL package. Now you can afford to create and dress up the simplest of gifts on your own, and make them appear to be that much more special. Nothing says love like something handmade.
I am now able to offer all the things I have always dreamed of as a customer, and share them with the world!
Our goal is coordinating products with some instant gratification! No more drooling for days over projects you have to wait to buy supplies for! You can purchase our products upon first glance, with all the eye candy to follow.
Here is what we will offer:
* Easy to assemble templates for all your gift giving needs!
My ultimate dream come true!
All my NEW! My Time Made Easy © templates will be offered in the following formats:
* PDF – for those of you with home printers! An easy option for everyone!!
* .SVG files– compatible with Provocraft Cricut Personal, Cricut Expression & Cricut Create
*The Cricut series cannot cut 3rd party shapes unless extra software is purchased. To enable the ability to cut 3rd party shapes, you must buy and install Craft Edge’s Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) software. This will allow the Cricut to cut files in the SVG format. This software dramatically changes the utility of the Cricut machines. It should be the first addition to anyone’s Cricut machine!
* .GSD file– compatible with Xyron Wishblade, Quickutz Shilouette, Graphtec CraftROBO (although due to size restrictions of this machine some templates may be smaller than other actual versions)
Graphtec CraftROBO. This machine is also sold as the following: Xyron Wishblade and the Quickutz Silhouette. These machines natively use the GSD format but can easily import the DXF format. No additional software is required.
* .DXF file– Pazzles Creative Cutter Inspiration, Klic N Kut Element , Groove and Maxx
These machines can cut both the PDF and DXF formats. Their native format is a proprietary format called KNK To summarize: Here are the most common home cutting machines and the suggested format to cut My Time Made Easy templates: Cricut machines: (Must buy SCAL software): SVGCraftROBO machines (including Wishblade and Silhouette): GSDKlic N Kut Series: DXF
Pazzles: DXF
These are an instant download, so you can start creating in minutes!
For ONE low price you can make so many gifts for everyone on your list!
Our template files are priced at only $5. You get UNLIMITED use from the template download.
Each file includes step by step, detailed photo instructions.
On the day of our product release, our design team will instantly provide 7 sample ideas using the template with a coordinating card/gift item. You will be able to instantly view these projects in our gallery upon the product release. In the days following our release, more project ideas will follow (about 2 a day for the following week), leading to a minimum of 21 different ideas!
For those of you with personal cutters the My Time Made Easy © templates could NOT be any easier!
* Top quality photopolymer (clear) stamps!
Yes! I finally took the plunge and designed some images I think you will adore! I am always open to suggestions too (wink). The idea is to have images that coordinate with our gift packaging templates, but are also versatile for cards, tags, embellishing gift items, and scrapbook pages!
My ultimate dream has been to offer this option!
I am so proud to announce that we went to the BEST for producing our images! This company is used by all the top companies, and now we are part of that lineup! You can have the best quality images for an affordable price!
Our images are ready to use! They are packaged on 4 X 6 acrylic sheets, with the images/stamp set name printed onto the acetate sheets you store them on.
They arrive in a 4 X 8 clear bag, with a hanger tag. This allows you to store it using the hanger, or you can sort into a box of your choice ( I use pretty shoe-boxes :D), Clip it up! or whatever other option that you prefer. By keeping our cost down we keep your cost down! Plus with the many methods of storing stamps, the choice is all yours. I will have actual photos of our packaging soon!
I will be shipping our stamps all over the world, and for an affordable price! No more high shipping. You pay whatever it costs us to ship to you!
*Coordinating digital papers!
Another instant download!
All our patterned paper is 300 ppi and delivered in a zip file so you can download it and print it right from home.
Each digital page is saved as a jpeg which allows you to easily resize it for your cardstock size!Now printing 6 X 6, 8 X 8, 8 1/2 X 11 or 12 X 12-is NO problem! Now you can have patterns in your favorite sizes for any project.
All our patterned paper is designed to coordinate with our stamp images. This makes creating even easier.
We are also offering a collection with each download called the “Color Me” collection. These are patterns designed with the idea that you can use them as is, or get out those Copics (or other coloring medium of choice) and custom color them to fit your project!
Use our black and white patterns to print on ANY color cardstock you have on hand for instant easy patterned paper in a rainbow of possibilities!
You can make your own double sided patterned paper, and of course use it for our My Time Made Easy © templates!
Now you get and endless supply of pretty patterned paper for ONE low price!
No more running out of a pattern, or feeling like you have to hoard your favorite pieces!
Our pricing will be at only 0.50 cents a sheet! UNLIMITED USE!! That is a fab deal. So our collection costs will range according to the number of designs offered. VERY affordable.
We have worked hard to ensure the colors in our collection of digital papers come close to those you may already have in your ever building collection of cardstock, and ink. That will make matching up easy.
OUR GOAL:
Our goal is not to overwhelm you, or your wallet each month! I really want to keep our focus on affordability, ease, and coordination! So each month we will be releasing an amazing template, one stamp set (sometimes a coordinating sentiment additions set), and of course our coordinating digital paper.
I invite you to check out my new site My Time Made Easy© and look around! Check out our ABOUT (<–click)pages too!!
While we remain “under construction” until our official first release, you are able to sign up for our newsletter! This will allow you to stay up to date on what is happening, and be with us when everything is ready to go! Also sometime in December I will be posting a FREE template (or tow :D). You will definitely want to know when that happens.
The official opening is anticipated for January 1, 2010! A great way to ring in the new year! I also want to ensure everything is PERFECT!!
Many of you have been wondering WHY I have been so consumed by “other” things the last couple of months. Well, as you can see I have had so much going on to get this all started. I did my best to keep up with everything else in my life, but beginning a company is no easy feat. It was far more involved than I even anticipated, but well worth every obstacle.
As you can imagine this is a very exciting time in my life! This is the first step, in a journey to accomplishing my biggest dream! I will continue to give 200% of myself to this venture, and make this company one to be proud of. Thank you for allowing me to share my excitement for such an event. I don’t really think there are words that can truly convey how I feel inside. I want you all to know that the excitement, inspiration and support you have offered me at many points in my life, have meant the world to me, and I hope to offer you the same in return.
Thank you for letting me share yet another piece of my life, and dreams with the world.
Now in order for me to make this dream a reality I have resigned from my position at Papertrey Ink. This is effective today. The very talented Betsy Veldman will be stepping up, in my place. She is an amazing talent and a perfect fit for Senior team! I wish her the very best!
Now you may ask yourself “What does this mean for the My Timeless Templates ©?” . With my resignation also comes the dissolution of the release of any further My Timeless Templates ©. To my knowledge, the current My Timeless Templates © will remain for sale at Papertrey Ink. For any further questions I would direct you to ask the owners of Papertrey Ink.
I have grown and changed so much since my beginning there. As I leave, I am thankful, and proud to have been a part of their growth in this industry.
All those moments, have now lead me to this moment. The moment where it is time for me to do what I have always dreamed of doing!

I am sure I will be among your very first customers 🙂 I loved reading all about it- and the pics of you and your family are beautiful! (I can’t wait to show Caroline how grown up Alexa is looking 🙂 )

Congrats on your new venture. I havfe every confidence that you will do well. Your designs are beautiful and I have been pleased with them. Hate to see you leave Papertrey but growth has its concessions.
Congrats Lauren. All the best on your new adventure!!!
Wow…just wow! Congrats and all the best.
It’s almost midnight so I won’t write a lot this evening. I stopped by Nichole’s blog before heading up to bed and when I read that you were leaving PTI I was heartbroken thinking that you were stepping away from the creative world for a while. It was like I was losing my best friend. I know that some may think that is silly because we have never met but I enjoy your blog so much, am so inspired by you, and I love all the templates that I have purchased. Of course I raced over to your blog and was so relieved to hear that I was so wrong–silly me, how could I have thought for a second that you were leaving? I am very excited for you and wish you a lot of success. Without even seeing what you have in store for us I know that I am going to be a very happy customer. Good for you for taking the next step in your creative career. I’m cheering for you the whole way!!!!!!!
I just got back from checking out your new site…
Everything looks FABULOUS!
I’m just so thrilled for you!
Hugs and love,
Renee
Congratulations, Lauren!!! I am so happy for you. I just signed up for emails so I will know exactly when you are open. I am looking forward to seeing everything. I love you idea of stamps set to go along with the templates. Good Luck with everything you have planned.
Oh, Lauren, this is even better than I had hoped!
I think your idea of offering the templates as cutting files is pure genius, and I don’t even have a machine that would be compatible. 🙂
I don’t do many digital papers right now because of the high cost of colored ink, but I LOVE the idea of the black and white papers that you can print onto any colored cardstock. (I’m very much of an instant gratification person when it comes to my craft goodies.)
You’re a genius, and I hope you do as well as I think you will! I can’t wait to see more!
Lauren,
Congratulations! I know you will be so successful and I couldn’t be happier for you. Best of luck!!
Big hugs,
Gina K.
Congratulations Lauren! I stayed up to read your wonderful news! I know you will be a big success! Best wishes on this new venture!
WOW, Lauren, good for you! You put so much of yourself into your designs … it just stands to reason that you would take this exciting next step and branch out on your own. Being your own boss will be awesome. I can’t wait to see your on-line store and know I’ll continue to support you and your new business venture as I’m addicted to your products and ideas. I wish you much, MUCH success and happiness in your new venture. How exciting for you and all of us too 🙂
Congratulations Lauren!! I’m sure you will have wonderful success and I look forward to seeing what you have in store (no pun intended….but, I guess it works! :>)!!
Wow, Lauren! Congratulations on your decision! Your creations are always so wonderful, I look forward to seeing your new releases in the New Year!
Hi Lauren – Congratulations for pursuing your dream. Wishing you all the best in this new venture.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am not surprised to hear this fantastic

making a matching project has happened to me more than once.
Can’t wait to see your clear stamps:-) You are so talented and
a business of your own is the perfect way to let it unfold into
a wonderful blessing for you and your family along with all of us!!
Wow! What a big adventure! I was worried you were going to say you were resigning from the world blogging world. I love all of your creations and ideas – very inspiring! With the upcoming opening of your store – does that mean you will be looking for DT members as well…….? Can’t wait to see what you have in store … for your new store! lol!

Hi Lauren! Well, I just had to stay up and read your big announcement, lol! I had a gut feeling that you had something like this in store for all of us and I couldn’t be happier for you!

And… I’ll be coming along for the ride. I love what you do, so this is in a way a new adventure for me too 🙂 Congratulations! My hat’s off to ya!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Im so happy for you. I love your work and Im sure this step will be a huge in your life…. Congrats!!!
Congratulations! Looks like you’ve done a very thorough job of getting ready. You must be so excited. I KNOW your new endeavor will be a huge success. Bless you!
I really wish you the best. You are so creative and deserve to enjoy your own success. I just this evening made one of your templates and can’t wait to see what new things you have in store. I would love to see some things (stamps) and word combinations that can be cut in svg format that can be used in scrapbooking and I would also love stamps that coordinate with spellbinder nestabilities labels. Hope you will give that a thought. Good luck!
Congratulations Lauren – everything sounds fantastic! I’ll miss you at PTI, but there’s certainly room for more in this wonderful industry. Your idea to include cut files is brilliant and I’m off to purchase SCAL so I’m ready.
Good for you, Lauren! Good luck in your new adventure. I admire your desire to move ahead in your papercrafting career and have already joined your mailing list. Although it might be hectic for a while, you are at a great time in your life to embark on such a project. I wish you every success.

I’m beyond thrilled to hear of your new adventure. How you describe it, with such passion and energy, well it sounds like it will totally rock! And since we all know how particular you are with your designs & products used, [ie. CS, embellishments, stamps, ink, etc.] I’m beyond excited to see all the beautiful elements you’ll bring to your online store 🙂
You so deserve this Lauren, and it’s truely been a wonderful flight to watch, as you turned yourself into an elegant butterfly =)
Congratulations Lauren!!!! You are very deserving of your own company as you are so talented. You inspire many people and I am proud to be one of those who you have inspired. Alice R.
Many congratulations and the best of luck in your new venture!! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!!
Yeah Lauren! I am soooo excited for you! I can’t wait to see your new store, I know it’s going to be every bit as fabulous as you are;)
What great news – If anyone can make it work you can.
I hope UK shipping is a good price as I have been badly hit by some companies who don’t let you know the shipping up front and have emptied my cart when I have seen how steep others are going to be.
Go girl show the world!
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. Cannot wait to see everything you come up with. Good luck. I know you will do great because your are AWESOME!!!
Dear Lauren,
I’ve been following your blog for quite a while and I absolutely adore your work, and I admire you as a person. And now I admire you even more for taking such a huge step and making your dream come true. I’m so happy and excited for you. Congratulations!
Wishing you all the best, Natasa from Slovenia
I absolutely 100% could not be more excited for you! I stumbled on your blog back in April and YOU were what lead me to PTI. I absolutely owe so much to you for leading me over there because I now purchase from them every month and I have so much fun working with their products, I cannot wait to see what you can do with your own store. This is beyond exciting! I have already bookmarked the website and signed up for the newsletter. Congratulations Lauren! I cannot wait to begin this journey with you.
I have to say I was really sad to hear you were leaving PTI, but I’m so excited and happy for you and your new venture!! It sounds so exciting and it’s really great to feel like you ‘won’t be going anywhere’ in terms of being part of the papercrafting world. I can’t wait to see all the amazing creations you’re bound to come up with. Change is inevitable, and it is sometimes even scary, but we need to embrace it to be able to continue to grow. Couldn’t be more thrilled for you and all the adventures you have in store for you!! Congratulations!!!
Shame to hear you have left PTI but if it helps you concentrate on getting the best out of your templates, then good for you. x

Lauren – this is just so amazing. You are such an awesome, talented person and I know this venture will be successful. I cannot wait to see what is in store for the future. I love your designs and can’t wait to be able to purchase from your store. Congrats!!
Congrats Lauren! I am so excited to watch you grow! I am also excited to see all the beautiful images you have instore.
All the best!
Congratulations – I am certainly not surprised! I saw Nichole’s blog first and was disappointed – no more Timeless templates! But wow, so glad you’re growing your talents even more! I was just about to ask on the Papertrey forum if you’d be doing a baby carriage template soon – in a regular and mini size – how cute would that be!!!!
Looking forward to your releases!!!
CONGRATS!!! WOO HOO!! Can’t wait to see all your amazing new stuff!! Good for you for following your dream! :o)
Congratulations Lauren! Can’t wait to see your new stamps and papers… and templates! LOL! Also, I won’t wish you “good luck” b/c you are so talented and your work is so amazing, that there’s no need to 😉
WOW!! Congratulations Lauren!!
CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN! I don’t know HOW you were able to keep your big news under wraps – given how much you like to talk ROFLOL! But you did it! Kudos to you for following your dream! I wish you all the success in the world! Will miss seeing your PTI creations, but am really looking forward to seeing what all you have in store for us at “My Time Made Easy”! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!
Lauren, I read Nichole’s blog entry first and was so sad and then read yours and WOW am I excited. I am so incredibly happy for you. I cannot wait to see all you will have to offer. This is a huge step and I wish you the best of luck. Like usual I will follow your blog and get amazing inspiration. Thanks for all you do.
Congratulations on your new venture! You will do awesome…I look forward to following you and your new ventures!
Lauren – CONGRATULATIONS! This is going to be awesome. I’m so happy for you. Best wishes!
Lauren:
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Huge step and of course you will do better than fine.
You are a talented woman, caring mother and you have the key to success.
Will keep buying at your place!!!!!!!!
Best regards,
Congratulations! I have no doubt you will be successful no matter what you do! Can’t wait to see all the goodies you’ll be offering. Wishing you the very best!

Congratulations Lauren, I am so excited for you! Your talent is amazing and I know that your company will be a huge success! Can’t wait until your first release!
Great Great news,i cant wait to the opening!
i am sure it will all be very beautiful and professional as always.
I posted last night and said that I would keep it brief but I rambled because I was so excited for you. I have been saving my nickels and dimes in hopes of purchasing a die cut machine such as the Cricut Expression. I’ve also been waiting with hope that someday your timeless templates would be compatible with the Cricut and the cutting by hand would be eliminated. My dream has come true! My question for you is do you have a preference for one particular machine. As I read through your latest post I noticed that you mentioned several machines. I am not very savvy when it comes to computers so an easy to use model would be perfect for me. Thank you so much and I can’t wait until January 1st! Sign me up as a loyal fan.
Oh, Lauren!! I just could not be any happier for you! I am a die hard fan of all of your work and will be behind you 100%!! Congrats! Can’t wait until January!
congrats Lauren!! What a huge decision, but the right one for you. I will look forward to Jan 1 to see what you have to offer. I wish you all the best.
Hi Lauren,
Congratulation!!!! I just subscribed and can’t wait for the opening. I’m a big fan of your templates and have quite a few of them. I also own a Pazzles. Is there a way of using/converting the templates I already have so that I can cut them with the pazzles?
Hi Lauren, First of all congrats to you. I was saying to my SIL that it is not like you to be so thin (used that word because you work out) in you posts so this announcement was going to be good. I’m not surprised about the templates to cricut, or other cutting machines as I could see coming as soon as you purchased one. I just waiting for some xmas sales to happen so I can get mine. I also need SCAL to come out with version 2 for MAC. I know that they will have it soon as we were email back and forth when you had it on your blog a while ago. Love the idea of digital paper and who can beat that price. Looking forward to seeing the stamps sets and love the packaging idea you came up with. I think price is always an option when one purchases and even more so when shipping $$ are involved. I think this will keep getting better and better for you and for us.
Thanks a bunch, hugs to you and I look forward to more posts.
Cheryl
Wow, Lauren! You continue to impress me all the time. I wish you extreme good wishes on your new venture. I already signed up for the new letter and can’t wait to see what you have in store for us all!! Congrats and Big Hugs! 🙂
Waooo… Lauren, when I start reading I was a little afraid but when I read that you are having your own store that was the best, congratulations, I am a big fan of you and love all your projects. I know that GOD will guide you and help you in all like now. God bless you and good luck.
Best regards,
Congrats! You do amazing work. I don’t know how you’ve managed to make all the projects you already have and come up with a company of your own!
Can’t wait to see all your new ideas!!!
Congratulations Lauren! I can’t wait to see everything your store has to offer. So proud of you!
Oh girl… I’m so happy to hear this! I just can’t wait. Hey…
I want to come and work for you.
Really… this is the best news ever. I always wondered why you didn’t do this on your own. CONGRATS!!!
Since I live in Alabama and not close by… I’ll just have to be your first customer. Again… I just can’t wait! Whoo-Hoo!
You can do it! You are amazing with your talents and your time. Please…share your time management secrets!
Okay, I’m gushing enough already and I wish you the best of following your dreams into the future!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your precious family and your dream come true.

PS – on a suggestion front (heh heh heh), I LOVED the template you altered to create that fire hydrant – it is great for pet gift giving (which we do every Valentine’s Day, Halloween and Christmas/Hanukkah) – are you going to create a stamp set to coordinate with that? Just a suggestion as a pet lover… I’m sorry, I am sure you are inundated with requests and suggestions already, LOL! Best of luck girlfriend!
Congratulations on your new adventure. Best wishes and will be looking forward to seeing what’s in store for us to see. You will be missed at Papertrey Ink.
CONGRATS Girlie! You’ll be amazing, I can’t wait to buy some .gsd templates for my Wishblade! What an AWESOME idea…trust you to come up with it! LOVE everything you do! All the best!
Congrats on your new adventure. I am so happy I have all your templates so far. Can’t wait. I am doing a happy dance. Better go buy some more usb sticks so I can save all of my products that I AM GOING TO BUY FROM YOUR STORE. SUSAN

Last night I read about your leaving PTI and my mind began to connect your comments about a big announcement and I wondered if you’d be venturing out on your own 😀
CONGRATULATIONS on taking the plunge and for following your dreams. I greatly appreciate your thinking of the consumer with your pricing and time effective products! I am SO excited for you!!! What a wonderful way to start a new year. Look forward to what you will share with us (((hugs)))!!!
Well it’s about time! Ha! Ha! You are in a league of your own in this industry. I am very excited to start shopping in your store. Wishing you tremendous success!
Congratulations! I know this will be an awesome adventure for you and all your loyal customers….I mean fans 🙂
I for one can’t wait! I so look forward to your releases every month, and I already told my hubby that I’ll be needing the bigger Cricut machine (I have the small one) and the software so I can save time and hand muscles by having the cricut cut them out! That is SUCH GREAT NEWS!!!!!!
And then, to add the coordinating stamps?! Super cool!
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the pti stamps that go with the homemade template…should be here by tomorrow!
Now it will be like Christmas every month! 🙂
So happy for you!
congratulations! I wish you much success!
Lauren, I applaud you on taking that giant leap of faith. But trust me, for you, it’s not that gigantic. You are one of the most talented women I know (well, I don’t “know” you – but you “know” what I mean! LOL) and you are ready for this, totally!! I am proud of you and I support you on this and look forward to seeing all the amazing templates you put out under your own logo. You go girl!! So proud for you!
Creativity is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift to God. Congratulations Lauren on sharing your creativity and talent. A winner is a dreamer who never quits…

Congratulations!
Is there a way to convert the files to gypsy files? I do not have SCAL only a gypsy.
Lauren, I am sooooo very excited for you! I can not wait to see the templates for my cricut! And stamps….by you! PERFECT! Congratulations 🙂
Heather B.
Wow this is so exciting for you & us too! I’m so happy for you Lauren & I know you will do an outstanding job. I look forward to all you new templates & stamps & other goodies as you grow. I wish you lots of happiness & good luck in your new venture.
How about a wedding cake box template…I’ve never seen one…just an idea. Count me in as one of your customers…I can’t wait!!!
WOW! Congrats! you make me want to strive to be better. I will be checking it out. I LOVE your templates and can’t wait to see your stamps 🙂 I love papertrey but not their prices. I can’t wait to see where this new adventure takes you! Best wishes!
I am so excited to see what you’ll have to offer and super excited about your shipping, that is one reason I can’t order from papertrey is the shipping cost is so high, I am happy to hear you are going to have the lowest possible shipping. Congratulations!
Ooo Lauren – now I can’t wait for 1 January. Hope to be one of your first customers. But will miss you at PTI.
Best of luck!
I can’t wait for Jan. 1st.
I hope you’ll be selling wholesale!!!!! I’d love to carry your stamps in my shop.
Congratulations, Lauren! I love your new website and graphic. I wish you the best and will follow you along with your dream. You deserve it!
You are the most creative person I’ve come across in the blogosphere & I’m sure you’ll make a huge success of your new venture – congratulations! I can’t wait to see the opening (though of course I’ll do the peek) & purchase what I’m sure are amazing creations!
congrats! can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!!
Congratulations on this exciting journey! May it be an adventure filled with lots of smiles and happiness. I love your work and am in awe of your talent. I look forward to opening day! -Pam
Congrats Lauren! Will be waiting in anticipation for what you’ll have for us at the beginning of the year! I know it will be chalk full of cuteness and options!
Congrats Lauren! I couldn’t be happier for you. I look forward to your wonderful templates and FINALLY being able to use one on my Silhouette instead of my printer which has never worked right for me. Best of luck in your new venture!!!
Congratulations! I signed up immediately for the news letter. Thank you so much for saying you will have reasonable shipping rates. As a Canadian, it can be so disappointing to really love a company’s product but the shipping makes it out of reach. On the other hand, I love the Canadian friendly companies and make sure they get my business. All the best on your exciting adventure!
Congratulations Lauren!!!! With your creativity and wonderful inspiration I am positive that this will work out sooooo well for you!!! I am anxious for your store to open!!!! I know you will have some great things available. Good luck and I am just soooo happy for you!!!
WAY TO GO LAUREN….How wonderful that you are able to follow your dreams. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. Love the idea of coordinating stamps with the templates.

How exciting! I’ve been a fan of yours for ages and have always wished I could use my Cricut to cut your templates!! I’m working on the house one this weekend.
I have questions!
Will any of your existing templates be made into cut files? I’d be willing to purchase some again just to get them in digital format for cutting.
I can’t wait to see what your store offers and I will be one of your first customers. Congratulations!

If I had half the imagination you do… I so love your templates, as I am challenged, & they make it much easier for me. I do thank you for being “approachable”, answering the few questions I do have about their construction. (Thanks also for making the instructions understandable.) Best of luck to an awesome woman!!!

P.S Cheeky I know, but if you’re open to suggestions on the design of your stamps, I’m always dreaming of someone considering my artwork! ;D
Congrats!!! Such a huge step and one I am sure you will do very well, all the best!
I knew it had to be something BIG when I saw you had left Papertrey! Congrats! I’m especially excited about the cut-able files because i have a Silhouette! Yay!!!

Congratulations Lauren. I am so excited for you and for us your followers! I love all of your work and can’t wait to see your products. I think that it is so fantastic that you have thought of so many of the things that are a problem for us!! No expensive shipping to overseas – that was a huge problem and not only for the money but on principle. Also not overwhelming us with loads of products each release. I could go on and on – but I think I had better stop! I believe this really is ‘Your Time’. Wishing you every success in your new venture.

Congratulations!!! I Can’t wait for downloading things. Best wishes in this new journey.
Wow!! This is going to be so awesome!! I’m so happy for your new company although it’s a little sad to know you need to leave PTI DT. I really love what you’ve created and brought us with PTI stamps.
I’m so looking forward to using your new template. My DH just got professional cutting machine and now I can cut boxes and tags using it (it works with .DXF file, Yay! ).
Great News! I am really happy for you Lauren. Everytime I send someone to your blog I tell them what a talented lady you are and even more importantly an awesome mother. I think as a retired elementary school teacher (40 years in the classroom) I am so often impressed with the things you do for and the stand you take for your children. I look forward to all of your success.
Good luck with all the new paths you are taking – can’t wait to see the new shop! Congrats!
You’ve got the goods to do it!!
You go, Girl!
Biggest congratulations on your new store. I admire your courage in realizing and following your dreams and heart!!!
I wish you HUGE Success!!!
Lauren I am so thrilled for you! It just seems like the right progression and step for you to take! I have loved your art and your blog since the beginning with PTI. I would follow you where ever and what ever you are doing! You have made such a difference in so many lives, and deserve nothing more than success and happiness. You have seen and dealt with so many things in your yong life. Heres to You…..and all your future endeavors! Your going to knock our socks off , I just know it!! I can’t wait to see what you do Lady. All my best wishes….Cynde
OMG!!! *happy dance* I cannot believe it!! I’m so happy for you, you have no idea! 😀 CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I have been thinking about having stamps made based on my grandmother’s drawings and I really have no clue in what direction to start! I’m glad to see you have more guts and chase your dreams no matter what! (but I already knew that). You have been such a prominent figure in the craft world, this was the logical only evolution for you and it’s wonderful! I am thrilled for you!
PS: I hope one day I can be good enough to be a part of your design team *dream*! 😉 <3
PS2: I’m sure someone told you already but you need a Facebook account for your company. This way people can fan it and get updates on their walls, this will be great advertisment and bring even more people to you! 🙂 (on top on all the people we will send your way of course! LOL)
