Template #14

So I've decided to jump on the bracket bangwagon. I keep seeing brackets everywhere in the scrapping world. I've been having fun playing around with them, and you'll probably see more templates by me that include brackets. I did have a bit of a bracket teaser in my last template. But here's my first bracket template:



Here's the layout I created with this template:

Let me know if you are liking the brackets.

I'll be happy to include them in more of my templates!

Enjoy!

Template #13

Thought I would post a new template before the weekend, for those of you that like to scrap on the weekends. If you need some papers and elements for this one, go over to Little Dreamer Designs and check out their Apprentice Gallery. There are some really great mini kits in the Week 4 gallery. And they are all free!

So, here we go...

Have a great weekend!

Template #12

I was looking through the latest Digital Scrapbooking magazine and noticed there was an article on templates in it. It was pretty good and had some basic tutorials in it if you are interested in taking a look. I also found a link in there to a site called Sketch Lover. She has links to all kinds of sketch and template sites. I haven't had a chance to check many of them out, but I do know that some of them have free templates on them. Just in case you're in the mood to do some serious template searching.

But, you do know that you can always count on me for a freebie! So, here's my latest template:




And here is the original layout that I used to create this template:



Another oldie, but a goodie!

Have a great day!

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!
May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck,
brightened by a song in your heart,
and warmed by the smiles of the people you love.


Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted a new template. I've been busy trying to finish birthday stuff for my family. We have 4 March birthdays in my family! So, one of the things I was doing was trying to complete some layouts for my brother-in-law to add to their album I started for them a couple years ago. I decided to make a template for one of the layouts. Lucky you!
So, here's my newest template:







And here's the layout I created using the template:

Enjoy and have a pint on me!

Template #9

So I've been experimenting and trying to learn how to make the "bent photos" in Photoshop. I really wanted to do a template with them, but was having trouble figuring out how to do it so that all you guys had to do was plug in a picture. I'm still working on getting it just right, but in the meantime, I figured out a way to make it work for now. Are you confused yet? Ok, so all you need to do is put your photos in the gray layers, which should be labeled as photos, and it turns out ok. The only thing I don't like is that you can see a bit of a shadow on the photos, so it looks like the frame is seperate from the photo. Check out my example layout to see what I mean. (Oh my gosh, I'm rambling on and on and I didn't even have any coffee this morning!)

So, a - ny - way... here's my latest template!





And here is my layout using this template...

I'll keep working on perfecting this, but in the meantime, enjoy!

I'm excited to see how many people are downloading my templates! I can't wait to see someone's version of my sports album.

Here's the latest template. I was looking over some of my older layouts and decided to make templates of some of them.




This template also includes the photo prongs shown in both the sample layout and on the actual template. Here's the layout I did...

Have fun with it!

Template #7

First, I would like to say "thank you" to all the kind and positive comments I have received from all of you. I really do enjoy making all these templates, so I'm glad you all are having fun with them too! Thank you also to Rachel, who has sent me several of her layouts using my templates. You can see her layouts in my slide show. I'd love to see layouts from more people, so please send me some! Remember, you can send them to loriboka@hotmail.com

And now for my newest template...





My inspiration for this template was from this layout I did. I love colorblocking. Can't you tell?




You can download this template here.

Send me those layouts!

Sports Album Template

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted a template! I've been working hard to get this sports album template ready to post here. I made this album for my daughter's basketball coaches and it was a HUGE hit with the coaches and the parents. You can either make it into a sports album of your own, or customize it to your own tastes!

This album template comes with 11 - 12x12 sized pages. I resized mine to 8x8 before I printed them. I just used some scrapbook inserts for the album and binded it together with coordinating ribbons. To personalized it even more, I had each player sign the last page (the "thank you" page).

Here is a sample of my finished album pages...(sorry for the blurred faces)




I hope you have fun with this album template!

You can download it here.

Happy Scrapping!
