I was thrilled to have this spread published in the Tips & Tricks feature of the August issue of Creating Keepsakes, along with downloadable templates and sketches of the layout. Well…CK has launched a new beta website which is awesome, but still has a few bugs to workout, so unfortunately the template downloads weren’t up on the site until a few days before they had to switch to the September issue stuff. SO…I got permission from CK to post my templates and sketches on my blog so you can download them and use them if you’d like!
Here are the sketches (click to enlarge):
And here are the template download links

Thanks so much! I scrap both sizes and really appreciate your generosity. Your layout is great and since seeing it in CK I’ve been using continuous mode. It really helps when you don’t want to miss a shot.
What a great template…and how cool that CK is letting you share them here 🙂
