CT Stuff and a freebie template!

A couple months ago, I joined the CT (creative team) for Jennifer Labre Designs. I love being part of a CT for many reasons. It stretches me to design with collections and things I might not otherwise buy or choose for myself. This keeps my pages and albums interesting and fun and prevents me from making all my layouts look the same. It forces me to keep scrapping layouts for my family and not get totally caught up in the 'work' part of what I do. And, who doesn't love getting free goodies!!

If you have ever considered joining a creative team, I highly encourage you to try it! Even if you have tried and have been turned down, I encourage you to keep trying. I have been told 'no' more than I have been told 'yes', but I am so glad I didn't let it discourage me!

Here is a page I made recently for Jennifer's Cherish Collection. The colors in this collection are soft, yet rich and make some beautiful pages. I have been playing lately with leaving more white space on my pages and trying to use larger drop shadows than I am accustomed to. I am really happy with how it turned out and decided to share it with you as a freebie layout template! (Links available below.)

    Your layout is so beautiful, with the multiple photos and just the right amount of embellishment. Love the color scheme that definitely complement your lovely photos. It is perfect for conversion to a template, and I am so appreciative of this gift. HUGS!!
