My Story
I fell in love with digital scrapbooking back in 2007 and after a couple of years I was feeling overwhelmed with all the moments, events and memories I wanted to scrapbook. I had the technical know how and you can bet I'd collected lots of digital scrapbooking kits, and even†a stash of templates. But I hadn't found my groove.†Along came December Daily†... and I wanted to participate, but had to find a way to make my layouts unique, but cohesive enough for the final album to look good. So I made myself a base page template:
And each day I tweaked this design to create the space for photos and journalling I needed. I was so excited! I gathered a couple of kits and got scrapping. Here's how it all turned out.
- Enough pages to fill a book
- Lots of pages that use multiple photos
- Photo focus pages for those stunning photos you want to showcase
- A place to share your thoughts and stories on each page
- Tasteful title placement options
- Ideas on placing embellishments for that finishing touch
- A quick way to create a cover to print perfectly with Shutterfly
- All the help you need to get started
The winner will receive:
- 31 pre-shadowed fully layered templates
- An inspiration gallery including over 80 completed pages (more being added!)
- A introductory video tutorial for new digital scrapbookers
- A video tutorial explaining some advanced methods of making the templates work for you!
††
The Simple Aussie Girls team have had a play with the templates too.

ReplyDeleteWow what a great giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win. Shadows baffle me; making them look realistic, where and how to use them, etc. So my question would be how to get realistic shadows?

Thanks for the opportunity to win this fantastic giveaway. It would sure help me as I have been to intimidated to put together a photo book album.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, thanks for the opportunity to win this great give away. I guess I would like to know how to make the journaling 'stand out' on a page.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa, for the chance to win this wonderful giveaway. I have trouble with shadowing too, and would love to see a class on that. Have fun with Lain at True Scrap!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I love your blog, the posts are always so helpful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great opportunity to win your templates!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win, Melissa! I have a question about the templates: can you tweak them or are they available to use as is? I'm not too familiar with how they work but they sound great, and I like the examples you show!
ReplyDeleteI am scared about digital layouts, I would love to give them a go but lack the skills and confidence. I think I need a helping hand, something that is simple. Annette
ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway! I would like to know how to organize all of my pse "how-to's" in one place. I often want to do a particular thing with a page and then have to try to remember where I saw how to do a particular technique, such as journaling techniques for example. I end up wasting a lot of time searching for my tips! Thanks for the chance to win! I love templates!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! And your True Scrap class sounds great, too. I'm still a newbie to digi scrapping, so my process is slow as I'm learning how to use photoshop and finding what works for me. I'd like to hear how you organize your photos/images and digi supplies such as kits/templates, and actions. I'm finding that I'm spending more time searching for an item and getting sidetracked than scrapping!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa for offering this give-away! I'd like to know about shadows, organizing photos, blending layers and masks. I could go on and on.
