I have the last set of this style coming out this weekend, and I was wondering if you had any ideas of what you would like to see in a layout, like what kind of embellishment or less photos or how you would like it? After these 4, I'll make ones that work with my 2025 yearbook that are the more traditional PL type layout.

If you send in idea, thoughts, criticisms, wishes - I'll send you a link to get the 4th version for free .

Thank you so much and I really hope it helps!!!

Hugs to all of us who need to catch up
Kelly

Wow, these are great templates! I love that they have lots of spaces for photos. I think a nice idea would be to have different "pocket" templates. So that it can we swapped out for what is on the actual 12x12 template. It would make it easier to add extras. Hope that make sense. But this are great! I need to add to my wish list!

Krista - It's hard scrapbooking when life is happening all of the time... and it's soccer season !

Hello Jagruti!!!! I think that idea is absolutely brilliant, but it's similar to what Cindy does with her builder blocks... You can see them here - https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/Cindy-s-Layered-Templates-Builder-Blocks-Bundle-1-by-Cindy-Schneider.html

I would love if she would make them in 3x4 in and 6x4 in sizes... I would have to buy them all!!!!! But you should check them out! I'll send you a PM when I'm finished touching up the templates. Thanks for writing!

Thank you! Can't wait to play! And I had not seen the Builder Blocks in Cindy's store yet! Thanks for sharing those. Yes, I agree 3x4 and 6x4 would be great!

I guess another idea would be to over various pocket page borders. From your previews above it looks like stitching. But maybe doodled lines or the perforations (for lack of a better word) that you see on physical pocket pages. Just some ideas. Although, I think they are great as is!

I always need extra space for captioning things. I'm thinking about a double page spread I made last year when we went on a field trip to a state park and how I wanted to add little notes so I'd remember everything we saw/did later.

Also: will all 4 packs be put into a bundle once they're ready? I'm terrible about forgetting part of a series when adding to cart

Yay! DSD always falls close enough to my birthday that I can usually justify a small shopping spree.

These look great! I love to do blocking pages when I either don't have the specific kit to match my photos, or have a ton of photos and want to focus on them!

I will say, I prefer to have rectangular photo spots. I learned long ago to fill my photo with what I want in my image, so I dislike square photo spots.

I love that they all have areas for journaling, and spaces to add a few clusters if you want! Also love places to put a small (or large-ish) title for your page! Off to look at them in the store!

Some extra journaling Knick knacks-dates, flags, arrows, clips.

Extra wordart additions to change it up. Cindy Schneider offers that in some of her packages.

I love these - especially the angled spots-it gives it character. Also the different shapes are eye catching.

I am off to buy all. They are reasonably priced. Great job!
