Template 3 Freebie

Okay, this is the last of my crazy numbering and I will be all caught up.

This is a template based on the speed scrap I did the other night at ScrapMatters. It was so fun...and a little insane.

For me, I was not feeling my LO at all!!!! I actually did two other LOs and they were just not turning out, so rather than keep hitting my head on that same wall (see, she CAN be taught), I ran through my photos and found one that really inspired me and ran with it. So, third time was the charm.

If you are stuck on a LO, sometimes it helps to walk away. Also, I am a big believer in scrapping the colors of my photos to really highlight my photos. Sometimes, this doesn't always work, so in this LO, I actually took some of the color out so that I could use whatever colors I wanted and I wouldn't have to worry about it TAKING AWAY from the photo.

Here's the template.

**link has expired** however, it is still availabe at http://denisebeattyoriginals.blogspot.com


(See my ScrapMatters gallery for credits.)

And here is the LO I based it on.



I have a little tradition that the last page of each scrapbook is a bum shot with the words "the end" on it. This is my first with my cute baby.

Isn't she a chub. I love it!

Love the template, love that photo, and love that idea for the last page. I may have to scraplift that idea. Those gorgeous chubby bubby legs. I miss those. Catching up on a week on your blog, sorry I missed you before Paris, hope you're having a ball.
