Using a template

[cats4jan]

My favorite way of creating a page is to use a template.  Sometimes the finished product looks pretty much like the template - such as this one - but sometimes you cannot even tell what the template looked like when I started.  Realize, the placement of items in the template are just suggestions - you can either use the graphic as shown or you can replace it with a graphic of your own.  I call the graphics on a template 'placeholders' -  My favorite thing about templates is that each item is on it's own layer, so you can remove, move, enlarge, replace - the possibilities are endless.

So, grab a template and design.  Don't worry if your finished product looks anything like the template - I always look at a template as a 'kick-starter'

Feel free to post your template designs in this thread

This template is from Digital Scrapper - it's from 2016

We put the birdbath next to our above ground garden box to prevent anyone accidentally stepping off the side. 
Of course, we had to then fill it ...

Yesterday, the mourning doves took over the birdbath - 2 of them shared - I think they enjoyed the cool water on yet another hot day in FL

Thanks for your continued attempts to motivate us, Janice.

This has been on my "to do" list for awhile. I chose the template added to your Wild Turkey template to work from.

That looks great, Helen. BTW - Digital Scrapper is now selling templates. I don’t think they’ve ever had a store that sells graphics and templates before, although they've always sold lessons - which included some graphics and templates.  Their new templates look pretty good.  It sounds as if they are planning on expanding what they sell.  

I've been a member of Digital Scrapper since 2006.  They've always been a good site so I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them.
