I used Teresa Ferguson's template for the 3/1/07 Cookie Decorating 101 Challenge here at SSD. Teresa's "cookie cutter" template was inspired by a layout by Jennifer Jorgensen's.

Journaling reads: "It's a girl!" When I heard the doctor say those words, it was moments like these that I imagined...me, a curling iron in one hand and the camera in the other...you, all dressed up like a princess and both of us loving every minute of it!

This was the first time I have used one of Teresa's templates...and I now realize what I have been missing. After using a lot of other templates, I was turned off by the whole concept because they usually ended up taking longer than a "regular" layout. Teresa has made me see the light...lol! This template was so easy to use - the pieces were different shades so it is easier to manipulate and I didn't have to copy and paste the pieces together first! Ahhhhh! *heavens open up* Anyway, this has not only turned into my favorite template layout...but one of my favorite layouts EVER!

The kit I used to make this layout is Lily's Garden (rather fitting, I thought!) by Jennifer Donnally (DD). Everything you see on the layout was from the kit - the "stampy" flowers were just extracted from one of the papers.

Thanks to Teresa, I have found an awesome way to bake up some SA-WEETNESS without the fat! LOL!!
