Cover Love

One of my favorite scrapbooking magazines is "Creating Keepsakes!" I devour each issue. I just loved the cover of Creating Keepsakes magazine May 2009. Isn't it cute?!!!
I decided to make a 12x12 template based on that great layout!!!
Here's my template


Then I had to make my own layout! Of course it turned out nothing like I planned. I still plan on using the color scheme from the magazine in a future layout but today this is what came together. That's what's great about templates - they come out so different every time.

I would love to hear some feedback about this template. Thanks for looking and downloading.

Apologies and Freebie PSD Link

So sorry! I bet you thought I fell of the face of the earth but... my internet has been down. I want to apologize to those who asked me to post the template in PSD format. Some scrappers were unable to use my template in the tiff format so I am posting the psd link here.

Thanks to all the wonderful people who left comments and links to their pages. They were so fun to read!!!

First Ever Freebie

I just adore the Daily Digi blog! It is one that I read every day! Today Janet finished up her "Top Ten Reasons to love Templates" Her number eight reason gave me the greatest a-ha!!! I decided to create a template based on a page that I loved of hers. Here it is-


Then, I decided I might as well share that template with other scrappers out there who are interested. So here is the freebie in tiff format. If you need another format, let me know. I love the tiff. format because it saves space on my hard drive and shows a preview but still maintains all the layers.

Here is the page I created with it!!! Click to see image larger!

Thanks for looking and if you download leave me some love. If you use this template, I would love to see your page so leave me a link in the comments, too!

Kindergarten Graduation

This morning at 8:45 am my youngest daughter, Breanna graduated from Kindergarten. They give all the kids awards and hers was "Little Miss Princess." She started out going to a morning class but her teacher thought she needed a little extra help so she ended the year going all day. Being in school longer helped her become a great student. She got a "high honors" certificate in her morning class and an "honors" award in the afternoon. Her morning teacher was Rachel Keddington and her afternoon teacher was Lorna Reynolds. They are both wonderful teachers!!! The kids got a cookie and a glass of root beer after the ceremony! The goodies were probably their favorite part. My little girl is growing up!
