Just a quick one, as I’ve been through a whirlwind 2 weeks of real life and digi life and everything in between…
Just wanted to leave a quick gift for everyone who passes by my porch (and there’s iced tea and cookies and freshly brewed coffee too over here too! 😀 ).
Thank you for all the prayers and all the kind words that you’ve left in my comments. Your friendship is so precious to me, your words such a balm. You are totally awesome. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am about 7 layouts delayed… 4 for our April challenges (was too busy wrapping up the previous run of the Up&Running course, and then attending to our Digi: In Deep course that followed on its heels 🙂 ) and 3 layouts for the templates that I created for our Digi: In Deep creative challenges.
I hit two birds with one stone by combining this week’s Spraground Weekly Challenge-Designer Spotlight with my template-layout requirement (yay!) plus I got to restore and scrap with old photos. So yay, this was a great case of getting many things on my to-do list checked at one go! 🙂
The designer we spotlighted on our Spraground this week was Anna Aspnes from DesignerDigitals, who–like every single designer in that fab shoppe–has the most amazing work and best of all, they are ultra-generous with their freebies! This past Sunday she gave out the most WONDERFUL plume freebies! So that’s what we played with for our challenge!
Here’s what I made:

Fonts: BeautifulES; BabelSans; Times&Times; subway photo from statravel.co.nw; AtomicCupcake & Wow actions
And here’s the template that I used:
It comes with the drop shadows to make the three blocks look dimensional (but you can always disable the shadows), and you can use it either as a 3-photo template with journaling spaces; or a 6-photo template.
Hope you find some use for it! You can snag the template HERE, and thanks for the love you leave on my blog as you download it!
Well, gotta rush back to the one million one things I need to attend to.
Oh, and PS. Just a little request for prayers:
1. for my dear, precious friend Lisa who has just lost her husband and best friend (we are all grieving with her and we keep her in our thoughts and prayers, and would love to have you join us in lifting our prayers to Heaven); and
2. for my special intentions (which have to do with V-day… will let you know all about that soon!)
Thank you so much in advance, and do visit again soon!
(((((((((hugs)))))))))
Know you from Jessica’s. Just visited your blog. I’m impressed, your writing is beautiful.

So nice to visit you and to read a little about you and your digital scrapping experiences. So much fun to see your templates and then the final layout that reveals the diversity of your designs knowing that it can be turned or flipped to suit the situation. Hopefully, I can meet you one day the same way you met Jessica. Thanks for the template. I scrap portrait or landscape, so a little adjustment will happened of course for size. HUGS!!!
