I love to share a Good Thing.

I know it seems like I buy a lot (I do, but truly I pride myself on the fact that I do use everything I purchase, at least once, LOL!). BUT (and there's always a but isn't there) I am not an impulse buyer. I think I have told you all this before. I really think about how much I will really use what I purchase. This is why I have not yet tried any of the My Timeless templates by Lauren Meader (carried by Papertrey Ink). I have loved the idea of them and really love what she has done with them, but I just didn't think they were for me. Boy, was I wrong! Yesterday I decided to finally try one out. For $5 I figured I had not a lot to lose, plus I knew it would work perfectly for the baby note cards I was making for my friend. I chose the All boxed up template since I do a lot of gift note packages and sell some too. The first thing that made me excited was once I paid for the template it was mine (I'm such an instant satisfaction kind of girl, lol!). I downloaded it, printed it and created with it. Here's what I did with it!First is the card I made. My girlfriend is having a baby shower today and I always like to make up a set of thank-you's she can use after the baby is born (there are always tons of thank-you's to write). I know the nursery is done up in light blues, greens and browns and stars! My cards played on those themes. I also just love this little hippo from Pun Fun (all supplies are SUO!) for baby cards. I paper pieced him with a bashful blue dot pattern from the soon-to-be-retired, Summer Picnic dsp pack. Isn't he just the cutest? These cards went together so fast. The stars were cut with my big shot and the Stars #2 die.
Here is the completed All Boxed Up, MyTimeless template! I decided to keep it simple for myself and used the same design on the outside of the box. I also included a photo of the inside of the box. I made this whole project, along with 8 cards and matching envelopes in about an hour (that includes the design process of the card).

I know the girls will just squeal when they see this today. I just love how it turned out and am thinking I need to make myself a set of notecards. Go check out the templates, find one that is right for you and give a try. These are my personal feelings on this product, I don't work for Papertrey Ink (boy wouldn't that be a dream come true, :) or Lauren Meader. I just like to share a good thing when I find one! Have a wonderful Sunday! Hugs, Lisa
