April Layout and a New Freebie - Allison

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog. I have been very busy creating pages for Ladybug Graphix at Digital Scrap Garden, Triplett Designs at KJoi Studios and Amanda Dykan of Purple Paper Flower in addition to my duties as a Studio Diva at KJoi Studios.

Here’s just a few of my favorite layouts that I have created in April.



All the pages have been created with kits from the wonderful designers that I create for.

Now for a special treat – I was going to save this for something coming in May, but I couldn’t wait to get it out there. It’s a new little kit – Allison. It is named after my step-daughter. Chris went and took photos of her track practice and I just had to create something special to go with the photos.
Here a page I created with the kit:

Here's a preview:

My First Set of Layout Templates

I love working with layout templates. I find them to be a good source of inspiration at times. I’ve decided to get creative and develop a few layout templates of my own in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6. Here is the first 3 templates I devolved. The last one in the set I developed has a number of different options depending on the layer you turn on and off.
