Here are a few of my favorite things… part 1

Templates! I just love layered sketch templates! They make my scrapping so much easier, and I don’t always follow it to the letter, sometimes I make it my own by mirroring or flipping layers… adding a few extra things… just making it my own. This way I can re-use the template many times without feeling like I’m making all my layouts identical, because they still look different in their own way. So I thought that tonight I would share with you some of the template sets I own that I just LOVE and use over and over again, show you some of the layouts I’ve done with them, and also show you some that are on my wish list for when I have the extra money or they go on sale for an awesome deal. Simply click on the images for full credit info! So let’s get started shall we?

Well, that’s all I have for you tonight. If you have a love of templates then by all means scrap about it and link me up, I always love to see what others are doing with templates and see which ones are their favorites. So enable me as I have tried to enable you… lol! Good night all!
