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!!

Challenge: Put something cool in your Music Makeover that is NOT music!

I really want to thank everyone who has left comments, and supported me in this new venture of My TimelessTemplates © over the last few days, while introducing this product. I am really proud of the way everything has turned out, and all the hard work Nichole and the team at Papertrey Ink put into launching the product, and the AMAZING samples done with it. BIG THANKS!

I hope you enjoy the templates, and thank you all who try them out. I hope you remember to share them with me, as I am excited to see many of you venture into templates now. I’m posting my challenges in a little while, so I hope you return, as I also have a few samples too.

Now it is time to share my release projects!

I have a few projects with the new releases using my templates! Those will be listed separately as they are part of the Challenge I am posting.

Now my thoughts on the release projects. I always have a few that I really love. This month my templates are obviously a huge favorite, like my Box of snow-that uses my template was my big favorite, as was my recipe for Ice Cream Sundae party, and my Holiday cards post. I really like everything this month and had to STOP myself from going and going.

OK here we go!

The Recipe Box & Recipe box lable set is over the top amazing! My project is here! I have more to share using that set soon!! I loved it. SO many awesome uses for that one, let me tell you.

Warm Happiness- Well I LOVE my coffee, and was so happy to see PTI come out with a coffee/tea set!! Heather did a great job with this one. I so love it, and will certainly be using it more.

This little travel tea packet is the perfect little gift to leave for a friend! Just hang it on their door, so they can find it as they return home from a long day! Isn’t it cute? I just used a hobby blade to make an opening at the top of the cup! OR if you have a sick friend this is another great little thinking of you, without bugging them! LOL!
