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!
Thank you for freebies. Link on your post was added to Lori's freebie list

Thank you so much for this Freebie. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies, under the Page 2 post on Feb. 20, 2010. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, thanks so much for sharing your templates! I very much prefer scrapping pages anmd therefore using and designing templates with multiplr photos, after all, scrapbooking is aboiut the photos and the memories, not the pretty paper! LOL
ReplyDeleteAs far as when you're ready to "go pro," I'll share my thoughts as one who was/is a pro designer. I say was/is because my kits that I sold are still available for sale at a discount retired kits site. For me it was a fun experience, but a ton of work for very little money. A good month was one where I sold 4 kits or template packs. After advertising with paid banners on sites and PayPal fees, it left about two cups of coffee profit and we're not talking Starbucks, more like Dunkin Donuts.
All that being said, it was fun hosting a challenge and contributing to the store collabs. I called that my rent because my part of the collab was how we remained a store that doesn’t charge a fee to have your stuff there. That’s how most stores do it. For me, personally, a lot more people enjoy my work if I offer it on my blog for free than the kits I sold. It also gets more visitors to my blog which qualifies me for blog-sponsors that pay more. I make a lot more coffee money writing an occasional sponsored post than I did even during National Scrapbooking Day selling my scrapbook products.
That’s my 2-cents, your results may vary. I still think your templates are great! :)
