I like templates with fun shapes or themes.
Hexagons are my favorite shape.
As for 'regular' templates. I like them to have few (1 to 4) photo spots.
These are some current faves.
On Sunday I scrapped with an old template by Brook. I changed the size of the photo spot to fit my photo. And I love how it turned out. I'll be using this template again for sure eventhough it's older one.
I'm not a fan of 2-page spreads.
