Please make me feel better....

And tell me you're working with templates a lot too!

I haven't been able to make from-scratch kinda pages in quite sometime and I feel like I'm losing my mojo so I've got this buttload of templates from various places. I totes feel that doesn't make me a scrap loser yet. LOL!!

I use templates alot. I have so many kits and so many pictures to scrap (and not a lot of time) - having the templates makes it go so much faster. I love picking out the papers and elements but not the design aspect so much so templates help.

I don't think you are a scrap loser...

I use templates all the time...especially since having Ella...I think they are a fabulous scrappinig tool

I just recently went through like a 2 month period of only scraplifting or templates on nearly every LO. I have just started making my own design a couple of days ago. Its ok to do.

I dont use templates alot but havent been inspired to do much lately either so maybe templates might help LOL. I think Ive done like five pages this month

I no longer scrap without templates!! I figure if it helps to get my memories down and scrapped then there is nothing wrong with it At the end of the day as long as you like the page you make it doesn't matter how it started.

The nice thing with templates is they can always help with just a starting point, you can easily change them and move things around while you are doing the layout, you don't have to keep it exact.

Also you could try rearranging the template. They had a challenge like that on one of the designers blogs to show how one template could be so different with different scrappers. Try adding your own personal spin to the template. Or flipping/rotating the whole template somehow. It isnt exactly like you created the layout that way but it would make it different then what everyone else would have with the same template

I ♥♥♥♥♥ templates.

I never used templates until a few months ago. Once I started to use them, I was hooked. It goes faster when I don't have time. Also, a pet peeve of mine is multiple photo pages, so I use templates a lot for them (birthdays, outings, etc.)

I would say, my ratio these days is 50-50, templates vs from scratch.

So don't feel bad. They are a great tool. I'm sure your mojo will come back.

Haha thanks, sweeties!!

Now I feel so much better and I'll go back to stalking Bree and Darcy's shops for more templates.

Templates and scraplifts lately for me, but I like the pages I am making so I ain't complaining!!

[Shawna]

I've decided that I'm pretty much a template scrapper now too, I have a huge stash of awesome templates so I just need to find more time to scrap so I can use them!

[ColleenSwerb]

I think all 6 of hte pages I've created all year (yes, YEAR) have been templates or scraplifts.

I love them.

[Sharon Kay]

I use templates all the time! Today, however, I only scrapped with one template and the other two pages I made were "technically" not templates...they were scraplifts or inspiration layouts. I love templates...without them I probably wouldn't hit 500 layouts in a year!

[beckyritchie04]

I am in the same boat. I can't remember the last time I made a LO from scratch. Thank goodness for templates or I wouldn't be scrapping at all.
