I uploaded template 8 before adding the label names, but it's fixed now...so if your google reader already picked up the first version and the link isn't working for you, just come directly to the blog and click on the link again. It should work fine.

Template 8
Holy cow. We did it.
We made it back from Paris, we survived the drive across the country.
I think I might be suffering from post-tramatic stress syndrome.
Seriously though, I have a serious case og blog and scrapbook withdrawal. So, I am trying to do a little in between visting with our family.
So, thanks for hanging in...here's a new template.

Checking In
Hey all.
Just checking in.
Paris was AWESOME, but I home for less than one full day, so I just wanted to say hi, and let you know that I won't be able to post any freebies until next week, so stay tuned.
I will post some photos next week, if we survive the drive from the east coast to the west coast...with six kids...ahhhhhh!!!!!
Seriously, what was I thinking?)
Hugs.

Love Your Eyes
One last post while I am in Paris.
This is the word art from the previous post.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Elizabeth Barrett Browning. She is a wonderful poet. And this quote is wonderful.
I have taken some liberties with it, by making it a little shorter, and the original quote has BLUE EYES in it, but I figured she wouldn't mind if I also used brown, hazel, and green!
So, here you go.

Obessions
Well, preparations for our vacation are in high gear. My husband left for Paris yesterday and I will join him on Tuesday.
I can't believe it! Of course, I am scared out of my mind to travel alone...I've flown a lot, and that's no big deal, but once I get to Paris I have to take the train from the airport and transfer on the metro three times to get to the hotel.
I know I sound dumb, but I am just nervous to do this by myself.
But, it is going to be such a great trip and I am excited to have this time alone with my husband.
Anyway, for those of you still reading, I have set the blog to publish while I am gone, so there will be at least a couple of posts next week.
Then we're back one day and make the drive from the east coast to the west coast. We're nuts!!!
So, here is a wordart I made for a challenge last week at ScrapMatters.

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!

Crazy Life
Quick post just to say that life is INSANE here.
We are getting ready to start travelling for the next EIGHT weeks. Is that insane?
Hubby and I are headed to Paris next week (woo hoo!!!!). We haven't been away from the kids in 5 years!
Then we are making the long drive to the west coast to make the rounds of family and friends.
I have a few things ready to go, new word art and templates that I will post when I can.
Don't give up on me!
And, as I get a little more active at ScrapMatters, look for me to host a challenge or two.
Hugs.

Challenge Word Art
I have been doing the Snap and Scrap challenges found in their forum.
They have a really neat (huge) kit, a different one every month that you can get in three ways...you can download one part from their newsletter, you can get one part by visiting their blog every day, and finally, you get the last part by doing their eight challenges (you get a piece for each challenge you complete).
This month's kit is so bright and fun, but, more than that, I love having inspiration and purpose when I scrap. Sometimes, it isn't enough to have a cute picture or a cute kit...you need a little direction or a push.
This is the same reasons I love the challenges at ScrapMatters!
So, this month's quote challenge at Snap and Scrap was to use one of four quotes on photography in a layout. (So thanks to Snap and Scrap for the inspiration!)
I really liked how my word art came out and decided to make all four quotes into word art.
So, here you go.

Woo hoo and a freebie (Template 4)
Hi all!
I spent all of May (literally) scrapping my buns off for ScrapMatters Queen of Scrap Contest.
It was a great experience! I have to say that I have never done so much scrapping in such a short period of time, and frankly, I NEVER want to do it again.
But it was a great experience (totally worth doing once!) and it really allowed me to get a sense of my own style and what I like.
Anyway. I WON!!!!!!!! (If you are interested, see here for details.)
So, I am going to be on the ScrapMatters Creative Team and I couldn't be more excited.
It is such a warm, friendly place to post your layouts, and everyone is really good about posting comments.
And, since I am rambling today, I will tell you that they are hosting a speed scrap tomorrow. (See here for details.)
A speed scrap? Yes. You login to the forum and get an instruction every 10 minutes, then at the end of one hour (6 instructions), you have one additional hour to finish your layout.
It is a blast and a really fun way to scrap. PLUS ScrapMatters is always so good about giving our participation prizes, and this is no exception...there is an adorable mini kit from Ellie Lash available (who BTW is the MOST AMAZING designer and currently has a freebie on her blog here).
Well, now that you have listened to me ramble for way too long, here's what you came for...template 4.

Paradise
Hi all!
I just found out at my calendar LO was one of the winning LOs at Sunshine Studio Scraps! Woo hoo.
So, I thought I would share the word art I did to go with the calendar.
I did 31 days in paradise (since May has 31 days), but I included in the word art 30, 29, and 28 days. Just use your rectangular marquee tool to select the one you want for your layout.

One Month Template (Template 5)
Thank you so much for the nice comments that you have left. I love hearing that you like the templates, and I was excited to get a request.
Alyson P said that she was interested in seeing a template for a monthly page...this was actually something that I have been wanting to do. I thought this would make a great page by itself with some fun jounraling or tags for the pictures, but I have actually used all these pictures in other layouts for the month, so I am going to use this as a sort of cover page.
So, here is the template.
I actually deleted the squares that didn't go in my month, but you could leave them and it would still look great.
**link has expired** however, it is still availabe at http://denisebeattyoriginals.blogspot.com (And don't worry that it says template 5, you didn't miss anything...it just means that there's more coming!)
And, here's what I did with it.

Would LOVE to see your takes on this.

Template #2
So, here is another template.
I am a pretty clean and simple scrapbooker. I admire people that can add a lot of different things to their LOs, but I don't know how to do that.
But I think this is a good, basic template that you can always add stuff to.
Also, I was wondering if anyone was interested in seeing what I have done with these templates.
Let me know, and I will post some examples.
**link has expired** however, it is still availabe at http://denisebeattyoriginals.blogspot.com
And thanks to everyone who left comments. I never realized how nice it is!
Also, I am happy to take requests. If there is a word art or a type of template you are interested in seeing, leave me a comment and I will give it a go!

Sweet Sound
My daughter just got hearing aids and it is so wonderful that she can hear again!
It's crazy that we don't even realize how precious something like our hearing is until it's gone.
So, here's a little word art. Enjoy.
