Default Template suggestions?

So I might maybe possibly be thinking of buying some templates and playing with them. I have trouble with templates though, so I'm a bit wary. Can you show me what your favorite template is? Have you bought one and used it over and over again? Please show me!

There are so many templates I love from our template designers and even from kit designers that make some templates here and there as well! I'll show you my favorite from our main template designers though.

Simone - I've used this set a lot.


Brook - I used both of these temps this past week and last.


CIndy - I love her Double It Up: Blocked templates for scrapping an event where I have a lot of photos.


Crystal - I love her layered template sets and this one happens to be free.

I suggest looking at layouts in the template designers gallery...or finding some that appeal to you and then go through the preview pics in the store and see it in action. It will help you feel whether it could work for you or not. Also do you like to use lots of photos on a page? If so look at Cindy's snapshots templates. If you like quirky paper play Brook is awesome. I wish I could be more specific help but I use almost exclusively templates and love all the ones I use lol.

I've been looking, doing exactly what you suggested but I can't commit to anything! AH! I liked the freebie templates I got from the store freebie section, but I don't think I'd ever use them again. I'll have to keep looking

My favorite templates are Cindy's Photo Focus templates! I also love templates that have one larger photo and smaller photos around it. I've used the sames ones over and over with different photos/themes!!

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.

I'm scrapping my fifth vacation album, and using these again. There are six bundles in the store, and I love them! I've also used them for everyday pages too. Then I just use one of Cindy's Snapshots when I need to scrap a ton of photos.

Thisis my favorite pack of Crystal's; I think I've used all of the templates in the set:


I've seen some of the most amazing layouts from this pack of Cindy's:

And Cindy's Six Pack series has a fun mix of templates & titles:

I know exactly how that feels!

Knowing your style and how you like photos I think you will love Cindy’s templates because she always includes lots of photos in her templates. I bought a couple of her Universal albums and use them all of the time. I think you will like her focal templates with the larger photos.
