Welcome!
1. Do you always use templates? I usually use templates as it helps me scrap faster (for the most part when I don't overthink things haha). If I have more time and feel like being a little more creative, I'll make a layout without a template.
2. Do you only use elements and papers from one kit? Most of the time, yes. Again, a lot faster to scrap when using one kit (at least for me). If I'm needing something that my kit doesn't have, then I'll grab from another kit (usually a string or button).
3. How do you save your layouts for print? I keep at 3600x3600 and flatten image and I save at the highest quality.
4. Favorite printing site? Persnickety Prints. In the past I've used Shutterfly to make album.
5. Any other beginners tips? Have fun! Try new things and styles to see what you enjoy and prefer. I also agree with Vanessa, don't compare yourself to others.
