... new timeless template ...

I've been loving the templates from PTI lately - Lauren does such a cool job coming up w/ neat ones and making them so easy to follow! I think part of what I love most is that you get 5 neat ideas that you never see on anyones blog!
So - I ordered "from the desk of" the other day and couldn't wait to create with it! First, I'll show you the coordinating cards I did.
I used PTI's Green Thumb set and some patterned paper that I have no idea where it's from - just been in my stash a very long time... Spring Moss ribbon and buttons - from my "pink" drawer, so not sure where they came from either...

Two more similar cards to put in the box.
Next is my fave - I like that those little crystals fit perfectly inside (and that I remembered to use them!).

The main color I used is Berry Sorbet. Which - for the longest time I didn't buy. And then, even when I finally bought it; I didn't like it. I don't know why. I am a huge fan of pink, but this was more salmon-y, and I couldn't bring myself to use it. Well, I picked the patterned paper first and wanted to find a good match and berry sorbet was PERFECT.Here is the finished box! I should've taken another angle, too, but was in a hurry. . . I tied it w/ berry sorbet & spring moss ribbon.
Well, I'm tired, even though is barely after nine! Hope you're all enjoying warmer weather! It was 75° here today!

That box is SO cool. I really like all the cards you made go go with it. The images go so well with the patterned paper.
