I have a FAB project to share today (well I think its FAB! LOL!)
Before I begin I really want to thank you all for the support. I was very upset yesterday and given the fact of how much time and effort goes into the videos, and I pour 110% of myself into everything I do, it was just a awful let down. I get so much joy sharing anything I do with all of you, you have no idea!
I was truly ready to just stop them if I couldn’t prevent those links from happening. I work really hard, and to find all that trash was very disheartening. I have really enjoyed the video process. SHOWING you is by far easier for ME (minus editing! LOL! But I’m getting better I think), than taking a hundred photos then TRY to explain it-KWIM?
Im so over the moon that you all get that much from it, so I will continue on! You all really lifted my spirits. I can’t thank you enough, or tell you how much your support means. You are all like an extended version of friends and family to me.
I will keep my disclaimer, and did get some AMAZING emails guiding me to some places I may want to look into loading my videos. I need to make sure there aren’t any time constrictions because it seems I’m a bit too long winded! LOL! BUT! I think you will agree its all warranted to be able to PROPERLY show you the steps, and not cut down too much. I guess it is like a virtual class. Its nice to know it helps people all over the world, and beginner stampers KNOW they CAN do it.
Think-we were ALL a beginner at one time. You have to step out of that box sometimes if you want to grow and learn. That was the whole reason for My Timeless Templates ©. To help EVERYONE (even kids) be able to make gift packaging EASY!! Then you add some imagination and you get versatility!!
Speaking of templates 😀 Remember THIS POST? Perfect Match © Goes Organizer
Well I told you I had ANOTHER idea!! More ways for you to PERSONALIZE your space, and get organized in style 😀
Using my Perfect Match Box Template © I created this adorable Tool Box Organizer!
Created by Paulette
Now by adding decorative panels you are not only personalizing the tool box, but you are also covering the seams of the 4 boxes adhered together, AND you are reinforcing the template to hold heavier items (as seen in my photos)
NOTE: Sorry Paulette Im keepin in tools, but you can have the organizer! LOL!
Now using the same idea as the drawer organizer, I took the Perfect Match Box base template, printed it 4 times on gray cardstock, then adhered all 4 together
Here you can see the bases, adhered together, form dividers
Now with the template, this project WHIPS together!
I made this for my friend Paulette. She is the unfortunate one who always gets the phone call when things are going awful and I need to vent. She lets me get it out, then get back to the “happy” place! LOL! Thats when I remember (usually) that there are more important things to get upset over than X. Poor Paulette. I can only imagine how insane I have made her with my blah blah blah blah blah on so many days. I kid you not!
She always lends an ear and good advice!! Thanks Paulette!! Plus it gives Jay a break from my drama 😀 He is always good about listening but how interesting can it be for a guy?!
I made this box using some GORGEOUS Amy Butler paper (I think she is a fan of this too). I like the gray because its dark and if you get markers or “dirt” on it, it won’t really show up.
Here is the close up view of the front
I used CraftyBella for my image, and colored (inspired by my paper colors)her to look like Paulette. Although Paulette doesn’t wear vests, or a headband-and is way cuter! LOL!
I personalized it using my JustRite Stampers– Small Letter set, and my New Times Roman upper & lower case font.Pretty cute huh? I love how it appears that she is cutting the letter “t”. Trust me that took SKILLZ! LOL!
Again a SIMPLE project using the templates, that ANYONE can do to get personalized and organized.
OK signing off. I need to reorganize my basement so I can start moving toys into the playroom! YEAH! My upstairs will be clutter free!!
I don’t honestly know yet how I feel about the kids fighting playing right mext to my stamp room while I work. It could be a good or bad thing. Granted I don’t stamp TOO much when they are home, only during Craft Hour, and maybe here and there, so maybe I’ll get MORE time since I can monitor them better??
To be continued!
(thanks again everyone :D)

how perfect! Especially with Craftyabella on it! Durn it, now i have to get that bella too! 🙂
This is definitely a fab project. I love it! You’re incredible. Hey, also if anyone understands the internet these days, they know we have no control over these links so hopefully it will be very few who have a hard time understanding this. Have a wonderful day!
Too cute! I need to make one. What a nice gift for Paulette! You’re so thoughtful.
Having the playroom in the basement may turn out to be a good thing. We love having ours down there.
Yippee more videos to come! I love this organizer. I just got the Making Memories Desktop Carousel, but plan on making one of these organizers for my DD. Her craft table is right next to mine.
Hey, Hey! I haven’t had time to check out your blog in a day or so and I find my name being used! LOL!
You know I love you and I love to listen to you! Don’t worry about talkin’ to me – that’s what I’m here for! I do miss that I haven’t talked to you since your beautiful niece was born.
Oh, I have stuff for the kids (for Valentine’s – sorry I’m so late).
I’m thinking of you every day – your street is my favorite street to run on these days. I keep lookin’ for Daisy to be out, but I haven’t seen her.
I’ll give you a buzz this afternoon.

I totally agree that Paulette is much cuter 🙂 And it’s great that you have her – though she tries to convince us all she’s not that good, we ALL know better 🙂 This is a GREAT use of this template – can’t wait to make one of my own – just got this template on Sunday 🙂
Hope you have a super day my friend!
Wow! I love your tool organizer. I enjoy seeing new ways to use your templates.
This is amazing! I love all your projects using your templates.
This is a great idea Lauren, and you decorated it so cute!
Lauren, you are chock full of wonderful ideas!
Please don’t be offended by the Veoh Fiasco. One know that one bad apple story 🙂 Well, that’s one, for sure. Besides, people have to learn to ‘read from the start’. You clearly stated not to click on other links. She did. Her fault, not yours. Had she been a lady, she would not have blasted you, rather taken it quietly and written a softer message of alert.
People are so quick to get in a snit and blame someone else for their own actions. How sad!
Keep on truckin’ Girl – we luv ya!

OH Gosh!! This is so cool!! I really love this idea!! I *need* one of these!! 😉 TFS!
And to think – Paulette tries to convince us that she isn’t “nice”. Tsk, tsk.
I am lovin’ this project and whenever I get my stamp space set up, I just might need to make a few of these. Thanks for the idea!!
Lauren, I don’t think I’ve ever posted to your blog (except to hope to win blog candy), but I read it loyally and enjoy it thoroughly. I don’t even have words to tell you how thankful I am to have found your wonderful blog and your crazy-amazing talent!
I love your templates – timeLESS is right! I’ve used almost all of them and have been SO IMPRESSED with MYSELF! LOL. But seriously! You make me look like I can do things! To do that takes some intense talent – so muchas gracias.
Please don’t be discouraged in anything you do. You’re a gifted creator and a wonderfully loving women. I am sure I speak for 100s (if not 1000s) of other people who, like me, don’t post a lot, but love you and appreciate you just the same!!
I’m sure Paulette will love this organizer!!! And I’m also positive that she doesn’t mind you venting to her at all!!! She is such a sweet person!!!!
As for getting more stamp time with the kids playroom beside you!!! LOL!!! That’s what I thought when I created a playroom, for my darling grandson, in the basement with my stamproom!!! Now, he always wants to “help” me, or gets into all my supplies, or wants to do his crafts!!!
I’m also glad to hear you are going to continue your videos!!! They are just so helpful and inspiring!!!
This is awesome! I’m definitely going to give this a try…I’ve been needing something to store my growing Copic collection, but I didn’t want to spend a fortune and wanted to be able to have something that I can grow with. This just may be it! Thanks for always thinking outside the box for us Lauren!
I love this project but I am having a problem…I am not able to print on cardstock…my printer just won’t grab the thick SU cardstock and it gets jammed. I printed it on copy paper but the lines just don’t come out that great in the transferring.
My question is…what kind of printer do you have? Mine is an HP Photosmart D7360. I like it but the fact that I can’t print on SU cardstock is staring to bug me. I’d love to know what you use…Thanks!
Love it! ♥ Absolutely love it! ♥ {and I love Paulette too… she’s da bomb!}
Gotta run the wee-one to the doctors. I’ll check in later.
Hugs!
This is way too cute & such a great idea to go along & design it to color co-ordinate to match your craft room! Your always thinking girl & I love that you share with all of us!!! So glad that you decided to continue to do the videos…no one should hold you back EVER!!! Thanks so much for being you & sharing…you ROCK!!!
This looks fantastic, love it, must check out your other templates and videos!
xxxx
What a wonderful gift for a wonderful friend!
this is so fabulous – you were right – i wish i was your “go to” friend so i could get these super cute little goodies….he he
Personally I think you should do a video on this one. I find it confusing how you get this for that. AMAZING!!! Please email me if you already have done one. I can’t remember. LOVE the box? I’d make one for all my glitter glue.
very cute and love the image, with the pretty lace background!
Lauren– I LOVE this idea (then again I LOVE all your ideas) I am so glad that you’ve had your spirits lifted and will be continuing videos. The videos and templates have helped me grow my crafting abilities 100 fold!! thank you again!! Blessings and Hugs!!
Wow, Lauren! This ROCKS!!! I’m definitely going to have to try it!
This is just too stinkin’ cute =) You are AMAZING!!!!!!! When’s the next video coming up? 😉
Lauren,
Love this idea!! Where do you come up with them!! Paulette’s going to love it. Glad you have her as a friend.
Sorry to hear about your video problems and hope you can easily get it cleared up. I for one love your videos so much so that it cost me a good eighty bucks in copic markers (shh!!! don’t tell hubby!) which I am having an absolute blast with. I’m so glad your video convinced me to take the plunge. Can’t wait to get some more. Keep the videos coming.
