DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKINGEasy-As-Pie Template Challenge {30}
Thursday, December 6, 2012
Hey there! :o) Kylie here with our latest TEMPLATE CHALLENGE – number THIRTY…can you believe it? That’s a whole lotta scrappin’ fun! I don’t know about you guys – but I enjoy our challenges so much! And now there is a whole album’s worth (and more) of FREE template downloads to have fun with…over and over again! I hope you enjoy this new challenge…as well as all the others!
To download…CLICK HERE (or just click on the preview image below)!
This latest easy-as-pie template is just waiting for a great story to be told! There is plenty of room for your precious journaling, thoughts and memories…and I think it’s ideal for this time of year. A perfect design for a yearly re-cap, a thanksgiving gratitude page, a holiday wishlist…any story you are inspired to tell. And if you like lots of white space on your layouts and just want to focus on your special photo rather than then the journaling, then by all means, just add a lovely paper where the template journal text is shown. Or instead, use that same space for an extra-large photo and attach a funky tag for journaling. Remember have fun with it & SCRAP IT YOUR WAY!! :o)
Now, let’s go over the GUIDELINES for our template challenges here at the Shoppe?! And, then please keep on scrolling for some fantastic inspiration from our super-talented Shabby Artists…inspiration that’s sure to get you motivated to scrap a page…or two!!
The ‘deadline’ for this challenge is FEBRUARY 3rd JANUARY 27th - yes, that’s right you have 8 7 whole weeks…heaps of time to scrap a page over the holidays, and then some!! :o) We will announce the template challenge winner on February 7th January 31st, when we share Template Challenge THIRTY-ONE. As you probably know, we announce the winner on the same day we debut a new template challenge. The ‘winner’ of the challenge will receive a $25 gift card to the Shabby Shoppe! Please note that for our template challenges…we select the ‘winner’ randomly (via random.org) – so everyone has a chance to win…beginners and experienced scrappers! It’s a great way to jump in and give digi scrapping (and templates) a try :o)
In order to be entered into the template challenge – you must post your layout in the Shabby Shoppe’s gallery (in the SHOPPE BLOG CHALLENGES gallery) and then post a comment HERE at our blog (on this post only) with a link to your layout in our gallery. This will enter you into the challenge :o) Please keep in mind that all layouts must contain at least 75% SP product (purchased or free). To be eligible for the challenge – you must scrap with the easy-as-pie layered template!
We also have several fun ways for you to obtain ‘EXTRA’ entries to the challenge (please note that in order to qualify for any EXTRA entries – you must first complete a layout with our easy-as-pie template and submit that to our gallery and blog) :o)
- For an extra entry, leave a SEPARATE comment letting us know that you have one of our blinkies (available by clicking on the blinkies link in the sidebar) either on your blog or in all of your forum signatures (be sure to include a link to your blog or signature in your post).
- For an extra entry, leave a SEPARATE comment letting us know that you have facebooked or twittered about our template challenge (don’t forget to include the link in your post).
- For an extra entry, leave a SEPARATE comment letting us know that you have blogged about our template challenge (again, be sure to add your blog link to your post).
So, that means that you have the possibility of entering the challenge up to 4 times! Just be sure each entry is a separate comment, as we will be using a random number generator to choose the winner. Be sure to get your entries in by MIDNIGHT (eastern time) on February 3rd January 27th, and again…the winner will be announced in early February (the 7th to be exact) January 31st!
I need to add that our blog SPAM protection is rather vigilant at times. If you do happen to add a comment and don’t see it straight away it has unfortunately been directed to our spam queue, awaiting approval. I check this queue daily, SO DON’T WORRY, I will catch it and add it back to this post so everyone can see it, and more importantly so that you have an entry. Apologies if this causes any confusion!
So again…here is your newest Easy-As-Pie Layered Template! <–click this to download OR click the preview image at the top of this post :o)
Your download includes:
-
12×12 Layered psd template with drop shadows (you can opt to turn them off or use your own)
-
12×12 Layered TIFF template with drop shadows
In the event this is your first time scrapping with a layered template – SP has created a quick and simple tutorial on how to use our Easy-As-Pie templates in PSE and PS. You can find it HERE. We’ve tried to cover the basics, but if you have any questions, please let us know and one of the Shabby Team Members will do their best to answer it.
I think it is time for some inspiration, don’t you?! lol :o) Please remember that you can always visit the Shabby Artist Gallery for more information about each layout – we will be uploading throughout the day/night.
Here is my first take on Template 30…
…and the girls on the team created these beauties:
Thanks girls! :o) …and if I may, I’ll just throw in one more from me – with a slight twist!
Now that you’ve had a peek at our pages we so hope you have so much fun scrapping your own versions too! We can’t wait to see your pages hit the gallery!

Shabby Princess, thank you for all your outstanding work! It has really made a difference in my digital scrapbooking.

I’ve tried to leave my photo layout link, but it isn’t working. I managed to post about my blog entry, so this is odd. Should I try later also?

I struggled for a while on what to do with the template, but then discovered I hadn’t scrapped my 15 1/2 year-old grandson’s 13th birhtday when he became a teenager. So that gave me the nudge to get this one done.

I tried twice to leave a comment with my layout link. It’s not working! I guess I should try again later?
Jan 09, 2013 @ 19:44:27
Sorry Jessica – I’ve just approved your “linked” comment in our SPAM queue and you’ll be able to see it now. Sorry for the confusion! And hey, THANKS SO MUCH for playing along…and for taking a bit of inspiration from my page. You’re sooo sweet!!
Happy Scrapping!! K :o)

I think the site has been hacked. I can’t DL the template because I can’t click on the ‘yes, please’ TOU agreement button. Instead there is a link above it in a foreign language that redirects me to another site. The ‘no thanks’ button works just fine however.
Dec 13, 2012 @ 03:21:34
Thanks so much Melinda!!!
I’ve tech support onto it now…it appears that all FREE downloads have been affected. :o(
Apologies…and I’ll add another comment as soon as it has been resolved.
Thanks again!
Kylie
Dec 13, 2012 @ 18:29:53
All fixed now! It’s safe to download any of the Shabby Princess freebies! :o)
So sorry for the inconvenience! And once again, thanks for letting us know – we really appreciate it!
Have a great day – enjoy the template – & happy scrapping!!
