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.

 

Here's May's Free Digital Scrapbooking Template and A Sneak Peak at A Fun Printable Suitcase Mini Travel Album

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

I've got your free monthly template ready along with page inspiration, a throw back preview of my Roam If You Want To Collection and a super, super fun summer vacation paper project for you. Let's dive on in to the scrap-a-licious-ness!

This template is no longer free. Grab it in the shop.

Here's my page and an alternative idea with the template. I've always viewed templates as a kind of spring board to a page layout. They are awesome to give us ideas for a page. Layered digital scrapbooking templates can be moved all around. So, you can customize until your heart is content.

I scrapped my page in minutes. Templates definitely speed up the process. I went pretty bold with the arrows. I thought they were fun and a bit modern which paired up great with my fresh collection, Roam If You Want To. The colors in my photos went nicely with the palette of the collection. I pulled out like colors for cohesion.

Most of the templates have a sweet outline option. This outline is ideal for providing contrast to a page. Go with a bold shadow and you'll get more depth and interest on your pages.

Below, Kait went subtle with her arrows and didn't use the outline. Her title was super clever, too. I just love birds and this one is so darn cute.

If ya don't love the arrows, ditch'm and use our photo spots and cluster placement for inspiration or as a layout guide.

 

Here are a few of the outlines. You can see how they will be perfect for cut file lovers.

This is the Roam If You Want to Collection. You can find a lot of it, under a different name at Design Bundles in Plus. I'm debating on whether to give most of it away. So, stay tuned!

I've been dying to do this project and got a wonderful start. The printables are all set and even the template has been tweaked to perfection. It should be ready by summer so you can get scrappy.

Above, are the printable papers all scrapped up and printed. Whilst below, are what the other printable pages look like. We'll cut out the cute suitcase, scrap up our insert pages and then put it all together. Excited?

When ya type in things like, "travel collection scrapbook" or "summer collection scrapbook" you'll be able to see hundreds of my designs, in Plus. Below, is a preview of one.

If you missed the free links or ya just can't wait for all of these amazing templates, hit up my shop and grab them all for under $5. I know, right?! I'll leave the links for the free templates for 1 to 2 months and that's it. So keep in touch with The Cherry or sign up for the newsletter to be sure ya don't miss all of this super scrappy free stuff. Scroll back and see what links are still live.

If you like stories about travel with lovable characters, adventure and romance, it might be for you. If you are interested, here is the first installation, you can read on the blog. I also offer an entire free collection for the book. You'll have to go back and grab all of the freebies. There is a lot! Here's the main part, but I've got frames and more, too. Use the search bar at the top left of the blog and or scroll down in the side bar and peruse the titles of previous blogs that can help, too. I'll give ya one link to get started. It's the last one. So, ya know you have to go backwards to get it all.

Let's see what ya missed so far with the monthly templates.

Here's some inspiration.

I've got a lot of different scrapbooking styles in this bundle. Below, is a more artistic style.

Theresa made a lovely page with a spring twist.

Below, is one of my favorites from the bundle, but ya missed the free link.

Kait's page is just gorgeous.

This was the first one. If you love it, you'll have to grab the bundle. It's only 3.99!

Jenn always does such gorgeous work.

This blog is full of amazing scrapbook inspiration, paper crafts, cooking ideas, printables, travel posts and freebies galore. Scroll through and enjoy.

I gave away an entire collection with farm house charm and chickens. You'll have to do quite some scrolling to grab it all. The Pinterest board, TCOT's Freebies will help greatly.

I've linked up a couple other blogs. I recently wrote about aloe and provided a fun freebie and revised some more cooking or kitchen printables as well. I gave this entire collection away, too. See what you've missed?!

Thanks a million for checking out The Cherry.

Free Digital Scrapbooking Template, Holiday Page Layouts and More Free Stuff with the Cherry On Top

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

Here we are with the last free template for the Love For Layout Templates train. Did you get all 6 for the year? The links are still there. Try using the search bar or hit our Pinterest board, The Cherry On Top's Freebies. I lost my Pin It button for the blog and cannot for the life of me, figure out how to get it back. I've tried! I did research, no luck.

Anyway, you're going to love today's blog. I've got the free template, the last of the freebies from, Welcome to the Coop and some layout love to inspire you.

Did you catch Wednesday's blog? I posted some links for Thanksgiving with a lot of recipes. Scroll back and see what ya missed, grab some recipes and use them any time of year. Last week, I showed off some old, traditional pages of a trip to Monschau, Germany. There's a Germany freebie there, too.

Y'all, I know this is a kind of crappy thing to say, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to give up my shop at Design Bundles. Unless, I can get more support there. It's a whole lot of work for a handful of sales. I'm giving it one last try with this big bundle of templates. Please support the work I do and consider all of the free stuff I've been sharing for well over a decade. Thanks!!! I'll be having a winter sale of 50% off.

You just came from Throwing Some Scraps Around. The next stop is my gal from, Aimee Harrison Designs.

Think outside of the box with templates. There are so many ways you can change them up. Use templates to design cards this holiday. That snow globe would make a great card. The shoe template would be awesome as well. Ditch the photo spots and add large text like, Happy Holidays. Move the elements around, ditch the large photo spot and your card will be nearly finished if you use the big mug template. I left the first template pictured in the above image uncropped so you can not only move it all around, but you could also use the tree as an actual template. Print it out, trace around it and design your very own, Christmas mini scrapbook. How cool would that be?! Sounds like a super fun kid's project.

The desktop style templates can be used for any pages at all. Not just holiday ones.

Enjoy the layout love!

I'll be having a lot of food related gifts this year. I want to do something for my neighbors and for the family part, I need 4 different gifts. I'll be sharing those ideas with you in another blog. Maybe you'll get inspired. I do have a Christmas Pinterest Board as well as a gift giving board that might be helpful for you.

My goodness! I just love the shadow's on Bernice's page. Just one sweet cluster, the text from the template and a few papers. It's a simple page, but stunning.

I'm a big fan of desktop style template, like the one above. They are great to make mockups, too. I use them all of the time.

I'm working with Chai 18 Designs this season. My team and I used this fun kit with my templates. Click on the preview to get the collection.

Changing gears a bit. Have you got all 10 parts of the, Welcome to the Cool Collection?

Here's a peek at the collection. Scroll through the blog and get all 10 packs of freebies.

This is the newest pack of freebies and the last one from this collection.

Here's some previews of the other free parts.

And now for the layout love. Did you create a page with the collection? Share it in the group.

I love the warm, natural colors in this collection. The designs are super fun. They are from Design Bundles, of course.

I thought I'd share some of Chai 18 Designs kits and coordinating pages. They are seasonally perfect! 

Look at these gorgeous clusters on Jenni's page!

Here are some more pretty, natural colors.

These colors are way fab! I love the mauve color.

A torn paper effect looks perfect on an autumnal page.

I'll be back next week with more from Chai Eighteen, another free pack from the Catalonia Collection, holiday card making, tags, gift ideas and tutorials for crafting this winter. I'm hoping to get a few travel blogs in soon as well. Don't miss out!

I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving if you celebrate it. If not, remember to take the time to be grateful for all of the little things, everyday. As I am grateful for you.

Happy scrapping!
