Digital pages with templates

Happy Friday! I am so glad it is Friday. It seems like this was the longest week. The recent ending of Daylight Savings, with the darker & shorter days is starting to take its toll on me. I'm no adjusting easily. My least favorite part of the week days has been simply getting out of bed, It's cold and dark, and I find myself hitting snooze more than usual. Not good when you have two kids to wake up and get off to school on time. We are really looking forward to Thanksgiving recess.

My big project this week has been trying to get organized with my Gallery Wall. I took it down over two years ago, to have our home painted ... and well, it never went back up. I wanted to switch out some photos and relocate it ... and so it kind of went on the back burner of my To Do List.

This layout, with Crystal Livesay's newest template release (collab with Little Green Frog Designs) Starlight Star Bright, shows a peek into what's going on with that Gallery Wall Project.

Friday Layout

Popping in to share one little scrapbook page this Friday ... using Crystal Livesay's newest release: Listmaker ... a collab with Jimbo Jambo Designs ... and it includes 6 awesome templates. One, which specifically encourages you to scrap a page without a photo! Love that!

I choose this one, with the circles because I thought it would show case my little photos of a recent trip to the farm market for apples and pumpkins. Check out the collection of templates, available at Pixels & Co, while they are on sale!

Layouts with Templates

Today I have a bunch of layouts to share using some fabulous templates by Crystal Livesay. She's a designer over at Pixels & Co and her templates are really fun to work with.

This first page is filled with all the colors & paterns I am loving right now ... soft pinks & greens with pops of color and a bit of black ... and for the patterns ... watercolor, dots, chevrons and florals. So pretty.

Creashens | Wonderfall (stitches) 

The Ardent Sparrow | Savannah (buttons) 

The next layout is from our extended family summer vacation spent on Lake Ontario ... it's a picture of my daughter, nephew and SIL enjoying our day out on the boat. It's amazing how being out on the water can erase all your stress and worries ... could use a little of that right now.

Dear Lizzy | Lucky Charm Collection

One Little Bird | Stargazer

Gennifer Bursett | Anchored Collection

2 am | Destination Adventure (paint)

Lou Cee Creations | Sailaway (pinwheel)

Angie Kovacs | Sailaway (wooden wheel)

This layout expresses my love-hate relationship with Fall. The mum photo is from our weekend's day trip to the Apple Orchard. This layout came together quickly using Crystal's template and just one kit, Wonderfall, by Creashens.

Creashens | Wonderfall Kit

All three layouts were done is short amount of time ... that is the beauty of using well designed templates. Love that! 

And I have just one more layout to share today. These photos were taken in poor lighting with my iphone while my (too old to be riding tricycles) kids were goofing off in the department store & zooming up and down the aisles. But the memory was too good to not use the photos just bc they weren't perfect, so I scrapped them anyway. I used an adorable kit by Dani Mogstad to liven up the page and really accent the colors in the Instagram photos.

That's all for today. Thanks for looking.

Latest Layouts . . . lots of them!

Just popping in to share the latest layouts (and there are quite a few ... with the kids back in school, I've been busy creating) with the newest product releases this week:

Up first is Designs by Dani's School House Kit. A darling back to school kit with an amazing color palette ... very old school!

I also created this page with The Ardent Sparrow's Sentimentality Journal Cards. Definitely not intended to be a back to school journal card theme, but the quotes and sayings on the cards were fitting for the pictures captured of my kid's after their first day back to school.
