A new template with Vertical Waves!

Today I have a fun template to share that uses vertical waves to add movement to your page.  Breaking up the background of a page is also something I like to do and the vertical waves do that nicely.  Here is my layout.

This page was created with a lovely kit by Kim Broedelet called Mulberry Fields.  I really like the rich colors paired with the pastel and earth tones.  Here is my sketch for the page.

A new template with Bold Arrows!

Hi, Dolores here to share a new template with bold arrows to add interest to your page.  I like using multiple papers when I scrap a page and this template will let you do that with ease.  Here is a page I created with a vintage look with a beautiful kit from Sherwood Studio called Thriftique.  The inspiration for the page was thoughts of my Grandmother who loved quilting, was a beautiful seamstress and was always willing to share her lovely creations.  Therefore my title is "My Wish for Vintage Charm."

I did a second page with this template, this one a complete reverse from feminine to masculine.  Here is a page of my husband hiking.  For this page I used two coordinating kits from Sherwood Studio, Colorado Springtime and Colorado Springtime in the Canyon.  Since I live in Colorado and absolutely love it here I couldn't resist these kits.   I rotated the template 90 degrees counter clockwise to create this page.

From this perspective, can you imagine tire tracks when you see those arrows pointing straight up the page.  I can, LOL.  I created the template in PhotoShop CS5. You can download it from MediaFire below.

Fun Scallops from Circles - A New Template!

Hi, I have a template to share today that is layered with nice big scallops to add some depth to your pages.  Basic shapes are great layering tools and joining a few circles together can make wonderful scallops of any size.  Here is my page.

The cute little baby in this page is the daughter of a friend.  She is the happiest little girl and it's a joy to create pages with her pictures.  The layout was created using a kit by Penny Springmann called Unwritten.  Here is the sketch of this page.

 
This template works well rotated.  I decided to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise to create the layout below.  I used a beautiful kit called Indigo Nights by Jennifer Labre and Studio Flergs to create the page.  These colors are so rich and vibrant, I really enjoyed working with this kit.

For this layout I swapped out the round picture for a square frame and dropped the second picture in the corner and placed my title there instead.  A template is just a starting point for your creativity, adjust any template to meet your needs!   I have placed the template on the file sharing site below for those that are interested.  Enjoy scrapping!

A Hexagon Template to share!

Hi, Dolores here to share a new template.  The hexagon shape has been so popular, I have seen several beautiful templates that use this shape.  It has inspired me to create a template of my own utilizing hexagons.  I love mixing papers in a scrapbook page and building a background from multiple shapes is an easy way to do that.  Here is my page featuring my sweet lab Maggie.

Never have we had a dog that liked toys more than Maggie.  She will pick up as many as she can, in the the picture above 3 toys, and follow you around until you spend a little time playing fetch with her.  I created this page using a beautiful kit witl lovely Spring colors from Sherwood Studio called "A Sunny Disposition."  Here is the preview of the template.

I created the template in PhotoShop CS5.  You can dowload it at the file sharing site below.

A Quilt inspired Template!

There are lots of templates these days with geometric designs.  I created one to share today that is inspired by a quilt.  Since we just celebrated Mother's Day I have been thinking about my mother and grandmother.  Both were excellent seamstresses and my grandmother loved quilts, so my template today has the look of a quilt.  Here is my page.

This page was created using a pretty kit by Elise's Pieces called "Young Love."  The bright cheery colors and pretty hearts and flowers prints remind me of quit fabrics my grandmother loved.  They are very heartwarming.  Here is the sketch for the page.

If you would like the PhotoShop template for this page you can download it for the file sharing site below.
