The Last Free Template for 2025 is Waiting for You Along with Beautiful Scrapbook Pages for Inspiration

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

Here's the last template for 2025. How did you like this year's free template pack? Would you like to have 12 more free templates, next year? If so, you'll have to pop over to the group and add your pretty pages to the album and when we reach 20 pages, it will unlock next year's template pack. If you're not on FB, leave your page in the comments or send them to me in an e-mail.

Kait always designs the most gorgeous pages. I love these colors and what a great idea to put the text in a circular pattern. Fun font, too!

Templates are ideal if you've not a lot of time to scrap or maybe you're lacking in the talent department? Perhaps ya don't even know where to start? Templates are the perfect springboard. Add some texture with "effects", grab a few elements with like colors, pop in your pic and you've scrapped.

The loveliest pages use repetition, eye catching colors, contrast, texture, depth and balance. Learn how to scrapbook through this blog. There's over a decade of tips, tricks and thousands of lovely pages and freebies.

I quickly scrapbooked this page using free goodies from the blog. Scroll through and grab what you can, while you can. Don't forget! I'm taking down the links to this year's free templates after a couple of months. The first few are gone, but don't fret. The templates can be found in my shop for less than a cup of coffee.

Here's a look at the free templates from this year. Please share the pages you make with them? I'd love to see what you do and help me make this blog more interactive. I often feel like I'm just doing all of this for myself. I appreciate your comments.

If you missed out on some of the free templates, here's the pack of templates from the shop.

If you're in the mood to start scrapbooking the upcoming holiday, check out what we've got in the shop.

I'll be blogging about all of kinds of Cherry-Licious topics in the near future. Here's a peek at what's to come.

Orchids!

I love going crazy in our enormous picture window. I'll be sharing all kinds of decorating ideas. I can't find anything at all on the internet or Pinterest. So, I'll be filling a gaping hole.

I've started a book for oatmeal recipes. I'll be sharing some excerpts.

I had thousands of peaches and plums this year and scoured the internet with what to do with them. I'll share the list I manufactured and some of my own recipes as well as ideas on what to do with all of the fruit you don't intend on using.

Coming soon will be a few blogs on gift giving. I think I want to start with grilling gift ideas. Since we've got years of expertise in this department. Stay tuned!

I hope you've had a super year and I look forward to seeing you next year. If there's something you'd like to see on the blog, you can always ask. Shoot me a mail.

Free Cooking Inspired Digital Scrapbooking Paper and Fun Summer Designs

Welcome to The Cherry On Top, scrappers and crafters.

I've been giving away loads of free stuff for over a decade. Some of the links get wonky and I run out of space every now and then. So, if ya see something that isn't working correctly, just give me a shout and I'll try my best to get it going when I can or want to. Hehehe...

Last week, I gave away a pretty recipe card with an awesome italian seasoning recipe you may want to try. I told ya Ii'd be back with a free portion of the What's Cooking digital scrapbooking collection I designed a few years back.

Above, you can see an image of what you will be getting in this week's and next week's download. The printables are all over the blog. If ya pop back to last week, there's a link there that will lead you to the other free printables. The conversion chart is a must have. I use mine all of the time.

I've got a couple pages of inspiration and hope to be adding more from my team and maybe even some of you, dear readers. Send me an e-mail or visit our group. I just started an X account, but it's personal and I'm not sure I want to mix business with pleasure. I'm rather political if ya haven't noticed and politics and crafting really isn't a great mix for many. I'm just so sick of Facebook and no one being able to see my posts. I'll consider starting a business one on "X". Let me know if you're there?

I revamped the templates just a little so that I could put them in the Kreative Design Studio as Commercial Use. I still need to get the individual accessory templates in there. I'm yet to find mine in the chaos of my computers and EHD's. Are you the same?

Here's a look at the card. Click on the preview to get to the blog for the freebie.

We finally are getting warmer, sunny, dry weather here in Belgium. Yay! We went from 60 degrees to over 80 degrees over night. Maybe my tomatoes will turn red? I'll be sharing all kinds of garden adventures, cooking adventures and my all time favorite ... CHICKEN adventures. I've got the squirreliest flock!

I thought I'd share the pool designs I created for Plus. You'll be able to scrapbook quickly, easily and beautifully if you grab all of the summer packs. There are dozens! Type in, "summer scrapbooking" in the search and most of it will pop up. "Summer templates" will show ya some good portions, too.

Above, are my super fun quick pages which are all ready made pages. Just add your pictures and your scrapped up. Below, are the "Pool" collection papers. They are so darn cute! Pair them up with some of the templates in Plus or from your own stash, like the fun floatie template I designed.

Word art makes crafting for sublimation, scrapbooks, stickers, card and or invitation making a breeze.

I love these quotes, below. Make something fun for a pool party or as decoration around the pool.

I've typed up one heck of a wedding blog where I gave away this beautiful design. Peruse over 2 dozen digital scrapbook pages with a wedding theme! I designed an album for my niece a few years ago and created an entire HUGE collection that matched her wedding colors, which were a lot, too. Hehehe...

You can grab the Commercial Use version with all kinds of extras in my shop in Design Bundles.

Don't forget the journaling challenge I've got in the group. Add your page to the album and get these award winning digital scrapbooking papers for free. The papers have an awesome vintage, grungy steam punk theme. Cool, right?

Thanks for checking out The Cherry. I hope you're having a fantastic summer.

Happy scrapping!

You Are Going to Love the Final Scrapbooking Challenge in The Cherry On Top's Scrap-A-Thon

Well, well, well, scrappers!

We've done it. We made it all the way through TWENTY CHALLENGES. Goodness, gracious! Some of you were keeping right up there with me. That was SO awesome! If you're joining in late, welcome. Feel free to follow our challenges at any time. At your own pace. I'll leave up the links to all of the free stuff as long as I have space. You may add your pages to our albums in our group, any time this year. We'd love to see what you've done.

For the last challenge, I'm giving you, yet again, another free template. You do NOT have to use this template for this challenge and you may use goodies from any designer.  This challenge is all about love. I want you to scrapbook Who you love, What you love, Where you love...You may scrapbook anything you love. That's it! Easy, right?

Both of my shops are still 50% off, but only until the end of the month and I don't plan on putting it on sale for a while.  So, get to either The Cherry On Top at GingerScraps or Kreative Design Studio at Design Bundles.

I'm showing off a few of my pages with things and people I love for some inspiration.You know I love page inspiration. Oh! Did you know I had two boards on Pinterest with over thousands of pages to inspire you?! Thousands of Ideas for Scrapbook Layouts and Thousands of Scrapbook Templates and Inspiration. Nearly all of the pages are either my pages or my templates. I must have been at this a long time? Hehehe...

I LOVE my chickens.  You may note, there are no exclusive dog or cat pages in this blog. Hehehe...Our current dog and cat, though beautiful and adorable, are very hard to love! Wink! Wink! I used goodies from Clever Monkey Graphics found at Sweet Shoppe.

Ya know the hubs had to make this blog. I scrapped us up with more goodies from Clever Monkey Graphics and a super fun gnome template I designed from simple shapes. That hat took me forever! I don't have the template available yet, but I do have a bundle of Valentine Gnome designs in Kreative Design Studio along with other gnome Christmas templates and printables in the shop.

Scrapbook designs are awesome for sublimation!

I put my heart and soul into the Optimism Collection found in GingerScraps. To show it off, I whipped up a really cool mockup. This is a template that you can use to show off your digital pages and designs.

Find the template in Plus and use those FREE credits.

There are a few Autism related templates in Plus as well. I'm only showing off a few. For the record! I do not love Autism and neither do my boys. Hehehe...I do love this collection and these really fun puzzle templates, though and of course, that handsome young blond in the pictures.

Go crazy with digital templates!

I'm forever grateful and love my family to bits. Here we are in a restaurant we all love in Cochem, Germany. The food is very traditional and even the locals frequent this place. The wine is awesome and so is the axe. That's basically the leg of a pig, served with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Mmmm...

My Pumpkin Spice Template

This is a beautiful photo of the village I live in. It's nestled wonderfully between steep mountains and the Mosel River. It's a tourist hot spot because it's got all kinds of great hiking trails for all levels. Even the daring, adrenaline junkies. You can take a swim in the scorching summer and take pictures of extraordinary views. It's impossible not to love this place.

More designs from Clever Monkey Graphics.

I absolutely loved being a teacher and may try it again some day. This template is from my School Rules collection and the goodies are from Clever Monkey Graphics.

Here are some great vacation photos of one of our many trips to Spain. I love Spain and I love this desktop style template. If you do too, then hit up our Planner or desktop templates in both GingerScraps and Kreative Design Studio. We've got at least three sets.

Yip!  More awesome from Clever Monkey Graphics.

I'm a bit passionate about food if you didn't know that. I grow some of our food and use mostly fresh, organic ingredients in our meals. It really helped with the boy's autism and of course, we feel great, too. I love food, but I do not love to cook. Go figure?

Master Chef templates and designs from Aimee Harrison.

If ya love kitchen scrapbooking goodies check out this huge bundle.

If you've been following The Cherry for a while, then you know that wine had to make the list, too. I prefer white. Especially German wine. It's sweet and full of body. Reminds me of myself. Hehehe...You can tell by the pictures that I'm most pleased with my glass of wine and this was (ugh) our all time favorite restaurant, too. They closed recently. Boo hoo hoo...

I thought y'all might love a country style page. That's our place in Germany and Aimee Harrison designs. Ahh...back when it used to rain and we had actual blue skies not polluted with geoengineering. (You knew I had to throw that in there.)

If you ever get a chance to go to the Mosel region in Germany, then you surely have to hit up Cochem and Beilstein. These are small German villages that are packed with restaurants, cafes, WINE and much more. You'll love it. Promise! (See! The dog did make a cameo appearance. Hehehe...)These templates are really awesome, too.

What do ya think of the free template I've got for ya?  Tell me how much you love it in the comments and by all means, share around our blog links with your friends who might also love all of this scrapbooking deliciousness.  We'd love ya for it!

You've only got a few more days to get your pages in the albums. There are still prizes to be won in the group. Design Bundles has a treat for the winners besides the FREE MONTH PLUS Membership.  Cool, eh? We'd love to see you there.

Thanks for visiting our blog and for joining us for the Scrap-A-Thon. If it's something you'd like to see again, let me know. I may be inclined to have another go, but I'd certainly like more participation.

Happy scrapping!
