Tuesday Template--Free template from ScrapMatters

Hi everyone- Trixie Scraps here and I am so excited to be hosting another Tuesday Template challenge – its been a while! I do multi-photo layouts most of the time, but a couple weeks back, I took this photo of my brother, his wife, and their baby in the pumpkin patch and I loved the photo so much, it just screamed to shine on its own in a one-photo layout. So, that’s the only rules for this challenge – use the template and feel free to use your creative license. You can flip it, rotate it, move things around. BUT! The only thing you have to do is find ONE awesome photo that deserves the spotlight on its own and use it on this layout!

So here’s the template:

Here is my layout, which is what I based the template on:

And last but not least, Jen (jendavey) whipped up this superhero of a page using Incrediboy by Britt-ish Designs and GG Digital Designs, Date Labels by Erica Zane, and NeeNee Font by Jeni Hopewell

Hello Melissa (Yzerbear19)  here with this week’s Tuesday Template challenge. I’m so excited to be hosting my first challenge here at ScrapMatters and it is one of my favorite type of challenges. I based the template for this challenge off one of my favorite layouts, “Saving Little Round Top.”

The only requirement for this challenge is to include some journaling. It doesn’t have to be as much as on my layout, but I would like to see at least a few sentences of journaling. There is no other special theme. Just have fun with it!
