A little bit of variety

**DOWNLOAD LINK FIXED**

Like I said in my last template, I'm taking a look back at ole' paper scrapping layouts and adapting those to templates. Today's freebie template is called Variety. It has a variety of elements to it.

Click on the preview to download it!


Here's the template using Imagine by Fran's Age Tendre. It's a cute kit a uses pale papers and dark elements.




I hope you guys like the paper scrap look.... It's fun to make!! I am happy to see so many visitors from around the country! Me gusta que hay muchas personas de otras partes del mundo que estan visitando aqui! Lo siento, my Spanish is a little rusty, but I tried!!!!

Gettin Shapely

Today's freebie template is titled "Shapely"... giving shapely a whole new definition! And I am sure we might appreciate this better. I called it shapely because it is a variety of sizes of shapes.

Click the preview to download it!



I'm finally looking back into my old paper scrapping days and bringing those layouts into these templates...I just wasn't thinking I suppose. I hope to hash out a few more templates this weekend. Leave some love if you like the templates, I would love to display any layouts you may have done with the template!

Too much!

Sometimes there's just too much going on...and you really do just need a break! Especially when you're thinking tomorrow is Friday but really it's only Wednesday and you're thinking.... is the week over yet?!!? Welp, you're not alone.

Luckily there's people out there who can take some of that work away for us... even if it's something simple, like scrapping :) So here's today's freebie template.... I figure another two would be a good choice but I will be posting the other one in about 12 hours!.... I like to mix up the "style" of the templates, so everyone gets a little something from time to time.

So here's the first one as promised yesterday: Sweet Shop. It's a cute little house that you can customize with whatever papers/kits you'd like. I was thinking candy house, like Hansel and Gretel, when I made it.

Click the preview to download it!


I used CShield's Sparkleberry Collection for the example:


And just a friendly reminder.... all of my previous freebie templates ARE available. Just check out the archives!! Have a great night (or day depending on where you are!) and be sure to come back tomorrow for the Cyclops Template!

Tide you over....

Today is a three freebie kinda day.... I figured it might tide you guys over in case things get a bit hectic, or rather more so than they already are. Thank goodness I am only subbing the rest of the week and NOT doing retail at night too. It gets rough sometimes I tell ya!

Without further ado here's your three freebies:
This first one is the Paw Print Template. I feel it has two uses: one could obviously be for a pet OR if you child plays on a team that has an animal mascot.



Second template is Flower Power.... each petal (and the center) are ready for either a picture or maybe some patterned paper?


This last one is a bit remedial but I shall post it nonetheless.... it's called Diamonds are a Girl's Bestfriend.

Click HERE to download all three templates.


On a side note, you may have noticed all of the cute fonts I use.... they are from Fonts for Peas (kevinandamanda.com). They are AMAZING! :0)

I hope everyone has a good day! Hopefully I will, my mom's in the hospital for what? they don't know but they've run two days of tests already.... And my sinuses are kicking my behind. I had surgery just before Thanksgiving and it started out ok... but the whole thing got badly infected and I wasn't able to smell until a few weeks ago. I get HORRIBLE pain in my face/head that ruins my day and sleeping abilities (and I won't tell you the gross stuff).... so what do I do? Make templates! There's no fixing this :/


I am in the process of making a "Sweet Shop" template, freebie of course! I am not sure if it will be ready tomorrow, but I have another one for you if I am not :)

Clutter!

We all have it.... or at least those of us that lead semi-normal lives... as I'd like to say. Sometimes it's hiding in a desk drawer, or it takes over the entire dining room. Either way, this templates for those of us with clutter! Here's a look at the template....



Here's the example using SDS's Back To School, available at Gotta Pixel. I used the back to school because today's my first official day classified as a 5th grade teacher! :o)


Download the template HERE.
I hope you've found use for today's template!

Concrete Theme....

By which I mean I have a Brick and a Sidewalk Template as your freebies today! This is what I did while my students were at gym today... not bad I suppose! I have them bundled together in one file for downloading

The first is the Brick Template, because it reminded me of the side of a building....


And here's the Sidewalk Temp.... just click the preview to download both of the templates!


When are your freebies good enough to be sold in store? Not that I would at hide them all away because I believe in freebies, but I was just wondering.... And when/how do you join one of those teams so you can make like quick pages and templates of their stuff? Really, I know so verylittle about digital scrapbooking ... well at least how it works online. I've only been digi scrapping for a month and here I am getting crazy.... *sigh*

Have a good weekend everyone!

Presents!!!

Everybody likes presents! Don't they? Well today's template freebie resembles a present... with my niece's birthday party around the corner, I figured I would prepare myself... Click the preview below to download...



And of course I've an example of it, again using Connie Prince's Party On, which is available at GottaPixel.
I hope you are all enjoying my templates! I hope I will still have time for them... I will be taking over for a maternity leave as a 5th grade teacher so my time will be limited to things that give something back (*$*). Leave a little encouragement if you download :)

Half way through the week....

And ??? Well my week is about to begin, at least with my sub days.... and a giant project presentation on Thursday. So I figured I would sneak in a template before the rest of the week takes over my life.

Today's freebie template I titled "Surround Me".... you have the photos surrounding the center on this one. I included two files, one with the borders merged and one without. Click the preview to download the template!



I used RebeccaPSP Designs's "The Celebrant" Collection for the example.....
Hope you like the template!!! Have a great day!

If you've got lots of pictures...

Then I have the templates for you! More often than not, I run into templates and QPs that highlight only one picture. Sure that's great, if you only have one picture that you want to showcase. But what about an event? or a giant collage of something? Welp today I have two answers for that, one that accommodates a few and one that doesn't joke around.

First up for today's freebie templates is the Quad Template with room for 4 pictures. Click the preview to download:


And for the example, I love this kit by Connie Prince. It's called Best Days of Your Life, it's available at GottaPixel.
Next template was a boatload of fun to do... that's sarcasm in case you missed it. It's a Checker Template for its obvious look. I provided 3 different PSD files: one with no squares merged, one with all black squares merged, and one with each column separately merged. This way you could make a patch work quilt effect or keep it simple! Click the preview to download:


For both examples I used TMF Scraps Aurora Tides Redux. This first is using the merged template....
This one is using the column merged template.
Welp, I hope you enjoyed your visit and find the templates useful :) I shall return on Sunday with more!! Suggestions are welcome!

Double Day!

One can get very tired from arguing with the stupidity at banks.... I know I did today... >:(... to the point where I am going to switch banks very soon... AGH. My frustration has led me to offering two template freebies today.

This first one is called "Sunburst" for obvious reasons.... click the preview below to download!


And for the example, I used Connie Prince's "Your Sweetness is my Weakness" (available at gotta pixel!):
This next one is called "Down Under", sounds Australian doesn't it? Really, the photos are just 'down under' everything else! Click the preview to download!



And of course I have an example (sorry, I don't have kids or tons of photos to fill in, but I love to show the wonderful work of other great digi scrappers!). I used Jayedid's "Waiting for Spring" for this one.
I think tomorrow shall be another two freebie day... because everybody likes freebies!!! I know I do! Please leave some love/encouragement if you download my templates! I would love to hear from you!

SPRING... is no wheres near...

Well last I checked there was four new inches of snow on the ground... and possibly 8 more coming... BOOO! I'll think warm thoughts of spring instead....

Today's freebie template is called Spring. Simple isn't it? No need to reinvent the wheel.

Click the preview to download!!




I included two copies of the template, one with like layers merged and one with no merging, depending on how involved you would like to get with your layout!

Here's an example of the template in action using SAHM's Waiting for Spring:



I hope you enjoy the template and are staying warm!!

Sunny!

Well I don't know about you guys, but I wish it would be sunny already!!! No more winter would be fantastic. Thus sprang today's freebie template: Sunny Template. Click the preview to download:

I created the example using Kiri's Sinfully Blissful and images off of Google :0P
You will have to play with the layering a little bit as they are not perfect. I included two files of the template, one with merged sun rays and one without. Let me know what you think... hopefully I will have a few more this week!

Happy Birthday!

My Birthday is tomorrow so I went ahead and made a template that coincides with that. I was thinking typical straight birthday cake layers, but that is BORING. Here's my topsy turvy birthday cake template. There are two PSD files included, one with the layers linked (as used in my example) and one with the layers unlinked. Click the preview to download today's template freebie!


I used PartyOn by Connie Prince/DigiDiva Designs for the example below.



Hopefully these templates are of use to use! Are there templates you dream about and would like to be made? Let me know! :) Have a great weekend! I'm not sure I will have time until Sunday or Monday for more templates!

A Lovely Template....

Today's freebie is my Lovely Template. Of course you could use it for a variety of things, but with Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought it could be cute with pics of your kids or your own valentine. Just click the preview to download it!





Of course I made an example of the template. I used Dark Designs's Candied Hearts for hte elements and the BG paper is from Misty Mareda's Creole Have.


I am having trouble with those freebie search engines, they keep posting the pics of my examples and not of my templates! It's aggravating! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to change that? Because I feel like their falsely advertising what I am doing here!

On another note, my Birthday is in two short days, so I think it is only fitting to make a birthday cake template. Stay Tuned!!!
