Freebie Friday or TGIF

TGIF and this week is over. I am so tired, I actually just dozed off, while surfing. I have been working the graveyard-shift at work these last couple of days, so my wake-sleep-rhythm is screwed. Oh well, that's how it is, gotta live with it and just get more caffeine.
Today I found tons of beautiful freebies to enrich our little scrapbook hearts. You will notice that some of them are from earlier this week. That's because I couldn't post from my PC which has all my bookmarks and google-reader settings on it. But now I'm back on Norbert (that's my PC's name) and the freebie hunt can begin. Enough of the chit-chat, get your hard-drives ready, set, download...

Weeds & Wildflowers have a new kit out called Creating Beauty. (You can find the matching freebie under today's freebies) Take a look at this beautiful kit:

Just a normal day, or not?

Today after work, I picked up Damien from day-care, went with him to the playground for another hour (gorgeous spring weather today), cooked dinner and got my booger-boy to bed. I then turned on the PC and saw that I had over 50 (fifty!!!!) comments. Something must have happened, what did I miss? Well I started to read the comments and the first one already told the story: Sonia made two fabulous templates for little ol' me and directed everybody here to leave a comment. Now how sweet is that? Thank you Sonia. I also wanna thank all of you who took the time and left comments. I've had a great time reading them all. You gals rock.

How to use templates

It seems that templates are here to stay - and I'm happy about it. I love using them, cause they save me a bunch of time. Some I alter or enhance, some I leave just as they are.
You have been asking me how to use them?
Basically I open the template in PSE4, then I drag and drop the paper I want to use into the template. Then I place it on top of the layer I want to use and press [crtl] + [g] on my keyboard. The paper will then automatically merge into the layer shape. Example:
I dragged the yellow paper (PSE4 auto-named it Layer 2) into the template and over the layer I want to use, which is named patterned paper. I then press ctrl + g and as you can see the little arrow appears and indicates that the paper is merged into the previous shape. I can then still shift it around by holding down the left mouse button, especially good for getting the photos in the right position. That's all that's to it.

As you can probably tell, I suck at writing tutorials, so I found a great one by Misty Cato: her tutorials for PSE/PSCS2 are the best. She has one almost daily and they are simple, easy to follow and have tons of screenshots (which I find very helpful). Get her tutorial on templates here.
Lucrecia has one for you PSP users here.
When you have done a couple of template pages, you'll get the hang of it, and save time, which you can then use on making even more pages ;-)

Today's layout

This a layout about Damien and his favorite movie: Curious George aka "monkey movie". Damien is only allowed to watch 15-20 min of TV a day and he almost always picks his monkey movie. It feels like I have seen this movie 1000 times. By now I actually know the dialogues by heart. I have the feeling I will have to keep watching it till he knows them by heart. But the funniest thing is that it still cracks him up. He can laugh out loud over the same old jokes again and again. Amazing.

Condolence card

This evening I did an unusual layout. I called my Grandma today and she told me that one of her dearest friends had suddenly died. He was 86 and had lived a rich and fulfilled life, especially the last 10 years where he fell in love with my Grandma's best girl-friend. They were so cute together. I won't be able to go to his funeral, because they live on the other side of Germany, so I will send her a card. The condolence cards you can buy are either very religious (which I'm not) or boring, so I decided to make one myself.
Credits: True Colors blue paper (recolored in black) by Lori Wiley, font: DominicanItalic, the Angel is a picture I took a while back at an old cemetery in town. The card reads: The bad thing about death is not the fact that he takes a loved one from us, but rather that he leaves us alone with our memories.

Layout or how I find the time to scrap

I've been asked how I find time to look for freebies and scrap and this layout tells the story - my boy-friend gives me the time. He really does his share of the household: he cooks, cleans, washes, does the grocery shopping and drags it all up to our appartment on the 5th floor. We truely share the workload. And not only that, he takes great care of our little boy. He was even the one who stayed home to watch over Damien in his first year, while I went to work. And I deeply love him for that.
Here's the layout, day 13:
Credits: beige paper 03 from Ale Modolon's Child's Drawings (beige) kit (see Saturday's freebies), sticker hinge from Ale Modolon's Child's Drawings (blue) kit, Carrie Bombrias' Buttonframe from her Little bit of this, Little bit of that set and her Watercolor Alphabet (see Saturday's freebies), font: Pea Becky.

Sweet Sunday Freebies

Here's what I found and liked today:
Gina Marie has cool frame to match her Welcoming Spring kit here.
Misty has Primary Charms on her blog and a neat threading tutorial to go with it.
Amy has a fun alpha called Dublin's Gold Lucky Alpha on her blog.
Diane has some sweet Crinkle Wings on her blog.
Gerti has a magical quote in German and English on her blog.
Andrea has 10 (ten!) beautiful greeting card templates here.
Johanna has two fabulous templates on her blog.
Heather has a lovely template on her blog.

Weeds & Wildflowers layout

I just fell in love with the Weeds & Wildflowers blog I found tonight. Their stuff is gorgeous. So I turned around and made a page from it.
Day 12:
Credits: Heidi's tanvines paper from the Paisley & Ivy paper pack and Gina Marie's Welcoming Spring sampler and matching paper with ribbons. Both are from today's freebies and available at Weeds&Wildflowers. Also AtomicCupcake's wildtear and rust actions, recifed dirty2 brush, fonts: Marker Monkey FW and Zombie.
