I see a template that I sure do wish I knew how to use!!!!
this is awesome!
Thanks.

I don't know what program you use, but in photoshop, I use grouping for templates. I don't know if that's the "right" way, or the easiest way, it's just what I do, lol. I just put whatever paper/picture I want for that template layer on top of the template layer, then I group it together (hold down alt, and then hover between the two layers in the layer palate, and the pointer changes.) I'm sure there are tutorials for whatever program you use to use templates. I'm still a relative newbie at all of this, too (just started in May), so don't worry, you'll learn in no time!
Kswm -- I love it! I love the alpha and the textures on the papers.... that's a great template!!
Thanks! Yes, Britt makes awesome templates.

I had such a hard time deciding on how to do the title. I sat on the LO for 2 days trying to figure it out. I ended up just using a font & cutting it out of one of the papers I used for the circles. I like making things look like my paper LOs, so I made it look like something I cut out using the Cricut, and then shadowing it on white paper (since I love shadowing titles on paper LOs!)
The 2 LOs you posted are so cute! Wow, you got some awesome towel animals!! We got a few on the first day, and that was it, lol. The pirate one is just too funny!!
Here is the layout I did for this week's Tuesday Template challenge at Scrap Matters
I love how you went with B&W pics for this LO! It came out great, I love the color scheme with the theme of the LO.
Here is my newest one:
Let's See How Far We've Come - The inspiration came from the song by Matchbox 20.

I wanted to do a layout showing how far it was from MI to CA for our
Disneyland trip. I couldn't find any maps that weren't all pixelated. I did find some photos of the state outlines and used those to cut out the states from "paper." The fairy trail doesn't really point to either location since that would have gotten too complicated. The photos from MI to CA are: Our plane at the gate in Detroit, Flying over the Rockies, Flying over the Grand Canyon, and Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland.
What a great idea!! I LOVE how this came out, really cute!
What a fun thread! I'm loving seeing everyone else's pages! Here are three from 3pixelchicks.com
I LOVE the clean lines in your LOs! Do you have the credits for your layouts anywhere? I love the elements you used.
