Layered Template 46

I had such sweet comments with my last post. THANK YOU! I'm absolutely shocked that anyone stuck around because I was MIA so long. I literally longed for road trips, because I'd bring my laptop and scrap as my husband drove. That was the only time I had for scrapping. I love those car plug-in adapters!

I wish I could say I'm officially back. However, the pace of life hasn't slowed, so I'm not. However, I also have come to realize just how essential my scrap outlet is to my stress relief. So I'm going to make an attempt to get in a little bit of scrapping each week. When the layout is conducive to a template, then I'll have an update to share.

Even if it's 1:30 in the morning. Ugh! I'm going to pay for this one! :)


"Rexy" is the product of my late night desire to scrap a bit. Guess it was a stressful week. :) OK, it wasn't so bad, but sometimes scrapping late on a Friday night just feels good. Since everyone's asleep, I don't feel guilty... but in the morning, I better get my tail out of bed, so the guilties don't catch up with me!

I'm on a kick lately of using the photos as the background (as I mentioned with my last post). So I'm looking for new or different ways to do that. And my other priority is always journaling, so I've got to make room for that. Sometimes that's VERY challenging to do when the background is a photo.

I hope that you find this template to be very versatile. While I did put the title on the left, you could easily move it. And even though I journaled in the lower right box, it certainly could be a photo instead. I can also picture a really cool screened background photo in the top right. Maybe the journaling could go there, too. Like I said, I hope you're able to tweak this template so that it suits your style and photos!

You can download the template HERE.

Thank you so much for the great new templates. I know what you mean about not liking to get too far behind. I am currently stuck trying to scrap our trip to Disney from Dec 08 and to top it off we are now expecting our 2nd sweet baby in Nov 09. I all but lost the desire to scrapp for at least the first five months of pregnancy. Thank you for the inspiratioin to scrap using a photo as the main background. It does take a little of the pressure off of adding all the elements so much. Your LO's are beautiful!

Erin said...

ok, I am ready for a digi scrapping tutoring session when you have some free time...I guess free time is non-existant for most of us, so I will say a few minutes!

Cheryl said...

I don't remember if I downloaded this one or not, but thanks! I'm grabbing it again.

The program I use is Font Creator and is still available. You can download a trial version, but in order to share/commercial you must purchase the professional version.
