Six looks with one digital template
Happy New Year’s Eve! As it’s the end of the year, it’s time for year-in-review blog posts and scrapbook pages! And a 99 cent template to make those pages come together in a flash if you scrap digitally. To make it extra useful, here are six examples of this template in action, both for traditional year-in-review pages and a range of other scrapping opportunities. Each page uses the template with just one other digital scrapbooking kit.
Here’s the obvious year in review page. One photo from each month of 2009 snapped into the boxes on the template and one comment in the journaling for each month of the year. The papers are from the Wrap it Up kit.
The twelve boxes can also be used for just one photo. Select all those layers and merge them into one layer, then use it as a single clipping mask for a photo, and it will appear as a mosaic. Definitely easier digitally than on paper, when mosaics take ages! This page uses Rhonna’s Travel Journal Tool Kit, which is one of my very favourite digital kits.
The twelve boxes can be exchanged with one large photo for a single photo page, and the journaling and date can be switched off to leave the scroll + photo structure to the page, with plenty of room for additional embellishment to dress up a special photo. This was our best shot with the self-timer in front of the Christmas tree this year, so please excuse that we perhaps do not all have the best in smiling faces all at once! This page uses the template with the December kit from Songbird Avenue, who raise funds for a new charity each month.
Or keep the words and swap out one scroll for embellishments from a favourite digital kit. These papers and embellishments are from Brandy’s Willow Tree Kit.
Or select all the layers you want to keep and resize them all to suit a small photo in the corner of the page. The papers and embellishments are from Kate’s Love Mix kit, which works for non-valentiney things too, if you like pink. And we all know I do!
And one last page with four photos instead of one or twelve. All of the text on this page is set to overlay mode (sometimes in multiple layers so it would be enough to be visible) which works so well with Chelsea’s kits. These papers and such are from her Gray Garden kit.
The template for all these pages is available here for just 99 cents.
I hope your New Year’s Eve is happy and safe, and 2010 brings you a very fabulous year indeed!

The template looks fabulous Shimelle!
I just wanted to drop by and wish you a Happy New Year and to say thank you for a wonderful year of classes. Blogging for Scrapbookers has been a highlight for me. It has opened up a whole new world and it has also introduced me to a wonderful group of friends – so, thank you for creating the opportunities and the connections :-)
