Digital Scrapbook Page from a Template

Even though for my business I custom-design digital papers, elements and templates, I still enjoy using the designs of others, especially people like Jessica Sprague. (If you are into digital scrapbooking, or want to be, you will want to follow her blog, especially her Photoshop Friday tips and freebies.)

I made the above layout using the free template and papers posted by Jessica last Friday. I did very little modifying because it was so perfect for the photos I wanted to scrapbook. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. It's awesome to create a layout in just a few minutes, after someone else has done most of the work!

Digital Layout - Hiking at Skyline Wilderness Park

I recently posted about our hike at Skyline Wilderness Park in Napa, CA. Can you believe it, I actually got a layout made from the day, LOL! Well, I had some help. There's a template challenge going on at K-JOI and I love templates so here's my finished layout:

I love templates because I can use one to create a great layout very quickly. One of the hardest things about scrapbooking, whether traditional (paper) or digital, is designing a balanced and aesthetically pleasing layout. That's why page templates are such a great time-saver; someone else has already figured all that out for you!

One of the things I'm doing in my little biz this year is creating a lot of page templates to sell and/or give away as freebies. Keep your eye on my Webajeb blog for more info, and grab the templates (and other cool stuff, too) as they are posted!

In the mail today was a cross-stitch kit by Bucilla that I ordered (just what I need, yet another project). I'm excited, though, because this is one I've wanted to stitch up for a long time, have been on the lookout for the pattern and finally found it on the internet.
It's called Max's Moon and I think it's soooo cute! As soon as I finish the hummingbird I'm working on (soon!) I'll be starting on this one.

What are you working on?
