Let me start today off by saying-SORRY this is so late! I have been beyond busy. I know we are ALL busy! So busy I haven’t hardly been home the last week. I STILL have my top faves to pick too-YIKES! Time is just passing me by.
I have some deadlines and stuff I HAD to get done and the computer/blog stuff HAD to be last on the list! Life gets crazy from Sept. on for me- doctors appointments, soccer, parties, practices, open house, PTO, and the stamp industry is heavy into HOLIDAY stuff. Add all that to my plate, in a fury one day-and a NEED for change-I chopped my hair to *just* below my shoulders! EEK! What was I thinking? Seriously though it doesn’t look bad! Ill have to post a photo. Its much more healthy-and EASY!
OK I’m going to be quick cause Jay and I have a HOT date 😀 YIPPEE! Dinner with a group of friends-should be a blast.
OK I know, you don’t need to hear me ramble or complain…….it is Saturday so that means time for a Challenge!
This weeks challenge is to use ANY My Timeless Template and PACKAGE candy of some sort OR get inspired by your candy wrapper! With Halloween around the corner, and holidays this is the PERFECT time to get some gifts done.:D
MY inspiration came from Ghirardelli—–> CLICK HERE to view the bag of Raspberry Chocolates 😀
Then lookie here!
I think this came out so pretty!
I used my 3D idea found—>HERE to create these FAB paper punched flowers 😀 I added stamens to the centers for that extra touch. Virtually NO stamping (EEK!)
Then I added some Prima leaves to the sides. I LOVE this flower! Really adds that MUCH loved dimension and POPS out at you-literally.
I use the template Its on the House (the standard AND Pretty Petite version (my first project using the small one)
My colors are Sweet Blush and the Scarlet Jewel. Very striking combo. Paper is In Bloom.
This is the side view of the large template
The stamped portion used the bird from Just Hatched and the sentiment is from Remember.
After I made this project I BROKE my apron border punch-GRR!!
This is the small version of the template-close up
Now as you can see I decorated the large and small the SAME! Just used a smaller punch for my flower! EASY PEASY!
Large or small I think they look GREAT! This is a gift for a special friend-who I NEED to send a special TY to!
Well that does it for me!
You can see what my team of girls has done for this challenge-Just click their name:
As ALWAYS thanks for stopping by! I hope you get inspired 😀

Oh girl. Your translation of your inspiration piece is mind boggling! I LOVE your projects! These are beautiful!!! I’m already in love with the Scarlett Jewel (deep red + Kristin = harmony), and if you know me like I think you do, I LOVE contrast. What a gorgeous combination!! Those flowers are jaw dropping. BUT, your 3-D link doesn’t work 🙁 It took me to the PTI Remember set. PLEASE tell me where to find the tutorial, instructions, whatever…for these flowers! I am head over heels for them!
Have fun on your hot date!
Gorgeous Lauren 🙂 Can’t wait to see your hair too — I bet you look FANTASTIC — what’s J think???

Hugs n smiles n grins n giggles.
Lauren–I was just on Nichole’s blog and saw your picture—I usually read your blog on my Google Reader, so I don’t always come here–then, when I do, I don’t always look, I just comment, you know? WELL, that picture of you is AMAZING! Did a professional take it, or just your husband or friend? It is just so great—you look so skinny and YOUNG (you are both, but you really LOOK both in that pic—keep it forever!!) LOVE IT!
This is beautiful! I LOVE the colors!
Lauren – what a gorgeous creation! I don’t know how you come up with these fabulous ideas. … please please post the correct link to the 3-D flower – the current link goes to the PTI Remember stamp set. Thanks!!

Absolutely gawww-geous! The flowers are amazing! Nope- the link ain’t workin’ for me either. But I’ll try later; hopefully you’ll get that taken care of. I love your color combo, too.

So pretty, Lauren! Love the colors and that flower is fab! Hope your date is fun and I loved to see the new do! And how on earth did you break a punch? They seem indestructible to me! LOL!!
Lauren this is AMAZING! What a beauty! I too would love the tutorial for those fun flowers! The link took me to the PTI stamp set! Thanks in advance hun! You are such a huge inspiration!
Hugs~ Kim
Plus, your flower LOOKS like raspberry chocolate! 🙂 the first shot looks like the petals are made of chocolate shavings, with a pinkyness to the brown. 🙂 Love it- its gorgeous!
Very very cute. I love the contrast. I think it is a great interpretation! I took a dove candy bar wrapper apart (it was actually pretty sturdy like the new gum wrappers you see for Orbit, etc) and made a template out of that. It makes a pocket of sorts that you can then fill with tall narrow cards. My family is constantly embarrassed by me because I will take any container I find apart and try to reproduce in a mini form. Great job, you rock as usual!
