I attended the last portion of the DigiScrapMap chat tonight that Hummie puts together and I am glad I did. I came away feeling so encouraged! I have been feeling bad about neglecting my little blog these days but her words of encouragement were enough to light a fire underneath me to get another template created.

It is a simple layout/template but it does have room for quite a few photos.

Here is the layout I used to create the template.

To download the template, please click on the image below. You will be brought to my download page containing all of my available scrapbook freebies.

I have another free digital scrapbook template for you. Looks like I am averaging one a month. Sad. I really need to pick up the pace with my own scrapping so I can create more templates too. Now if only some more inspiration would come my way!

Here is the layout I used to create the template.

Just a note: the kit I used on my example layout is a freebie by Sweet Shoppe Designs. I am not sure how long it will be available but, as of tonight, it looks like it is still available for download at Donna Downey’s blog if you are interested. Here is a preview of the kit:

I have decided to start including an “example” layout as a part of the preview with my templates. I have noticed some other designers doing this and I think it is helpful to see what others have done with the layout. Having a visual really gets me inspired on those days where I am feeling very uninspired (which happens more often than I’d like). Hopefully you will find this helpful too.

I have fallen in love with 2-page templates. I think I may have to start creating some more of these. I love being able to finish 2 matching pages in one sitting.

Here is the original layout. It is of our little Breezy girl, who recently had to spend a night in the hospital for RSV. After a couple weeks on oxygen, we are glad she seems to be fully healed.

I have another freebie template ready for download. Finally!!

Here is the layout it was created from.

This layout was inspired by a beautiful page created by Rebecca Cooper – the original can be found here.

I had a chance to get some scrapping done yesterday, so I have another template that I would love to give away.

There is a download for the 12×12 PSD file as well as a separate download for the PNG files if you use a program other than Photoshop. You can click on the preview to be brought to my download page that contains all of my available digital scrapbook freebies.

If you need inspiration, here are the two layouts I put together which were what I created the template from.

Wow, I think this is the longest time I have ever gone without a post on here in quite awhile. I guess I will use our new daughter as my excuse. Bree is now 5 weeks old. Born just a few days before Christmas, she was a wonderful gift!

After she was born, I realized that I still haven’t scrapped most of Adrianna’s baby photos yet. Rather than stressing about all the layouts I will have yet to do, now times two, I recognized that digital scrapbooking can help me simplify my scrapping in that I can make ONE general layout for a baby event (for daughter #1) and simply use that layout as a template to quickly make a second layout with photos of daughter #2. I can also easily clip papers and embellishments from a different kit to the layers of the original layout as well. This should be a huge time-saver for me, since coming up with the layout design idea is usually what takes me the longest when making a page.

So here is the same baby event (getting ready to head to the hospital to deliver) for both daughters. Same general design, two separate layouts created from one original PSD file.

And of course I made a template out of my layout so it can save you some time too.

Good morning! I should be spending my free day cleaning my very messy house for Thanksgiving company, but instead I felt like playing with Photoshop. As a result, I have a free digital scrapbook template with room for 3 photos available for download.

Here is the layout that this template was created from if you need some inspiration.

I created this word art for a scrapbook layout I was working on and thought I would share it with you.

The quote is from Mahatma Gandhi and states, “When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.” You can click on the image above to be brought to my digital scrapbook freebies download page.

This is the layout I created it for, in case you need any inspiration.

I have posted the November Multi-Photo Challenge over at GDS.

This will probably be the last Multi-Photo challenge that I host for awhile. Baby #2 is due at the end of December, so I am anticipating a new “challenge” for our family that may keep me away from scrapping for awhile.

As always, there are only TWO rules for this challenge:

1. Create a NEW layout containing at least 4 photos.
2. Post your layout in the Multi-Photo Challenge Gallery. Layouts must be posted by November 30th.

As always, I am providing a free multi-photo template that you are welcome to use if you need some inspiration for this challenge. (It comes in PSD and PNGs.) However, using this template is NOT required. Any new layout containing at least 4 photos qualifies.

You can download the template for FREE, no strings attached, at the GDS Multi-Photo Challenge thread.

And, if you complete this challenge and post your layout in the Multi-Photo Challenge gallery by November 30th, you will receive this template as your free posting bonus:

I am looking forward to seeing your layouts!

How would you like another free digital scrapbook QP from my latest kit, “Remember the Magic“? This one would make a great second page to the first QP I gave out a couple weeks ago. At least that is how I am using it for my own layouts.

You can click on the image preview above to be brought to my list of freebies available for download.

And here is my layout that the QP was created from. It is more pictures of my daughter meeting Mickey for the first time.

Thanks for your comments. They always make my day.

Today I have a free digital scrapbook QP available for download from my latest kit, “Remember the Magic“.

And here is my layout that the QP was created from. It is of my daughter meeting Mickey for the first time. She hugged him for a LONG time.

We took our first trip to Disneyland back in March. As I was going to start scrapping the many photos this past week, I realized I didn’t have any kits that were exactly what I was looking for in the colors I was looking for. Specifically, the red of my daughter’s Minnie Mouse dress and the black of Mickey’s ears. So, I decided to make my own papers using the exact colors from my photos and it evolved into a mini-kit that I would love to share with you.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
