A Template with Chevrons!

Hi I have a template to share today loaded with Chevrons!  I have been seeing chevrons everywhere and decided to build a template with chevron borders with a pretty scallop edge thrown in.  Here is a sketch of my template.

I wanted a bright warm summer page for two cute pictures of my dog Maggie when she was just a puppy.  I chose a beautiful kit by Kristin Cronin-Barrow called "Sweet Summertime" to complete my layout.

Doesn't Maggie look so sweet and innocent.  She was an adorable puppy but like all puppies had a bit of mischief in her.  These were crazy fun days trying to train her were she was so small.

A Template for a pair of photos!

Hi, I have a template today to share that will handle a pair of your great photos.  I like taking lots of pictures now that digital has come so far and I especially like taking lots of shots when I am photographing people.  I am always hoping to get at least one photo I love, but sometimes I end up with multiple good shots, or at least photos that speak to me about the moment.  Here is my sketch of a template with two photos.

Below is my layout from this sketch.

I created this page with a beautiful kit from Etc by Danyale called Renewal.  I love the earthy tones and natural feel.  It was just right for these outdoor shots of my lovely niece.  If you are interested in the template you can download it from the file sharing site below.

A Sketch and Template with more Strips!

Hi, I have a template/sketch to share today that uses strips to build a colorful background.  The template is based on using four basic papers to build the strip across the page.  Here is my sketch.

I have created two sample layouts with the template.  Here is my first page using a beautiful natural kit by Krystal Hartley called A Happy Thought.

For my second page I rotated the template 90 degrees counter clockwise and made a few adjustments.
I dropped the banner and added a few elements on the left side of the page.

This layout was created with a lovely kit called Vintage Dreams by LDrag Designs.  If you'd like the template I created in PhotoShop it can be downloaded from MediaFire using the link below.

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!
