Scrapbooking Challenge #14 is Waiting For You Along with A Free Template and a Link to Free Spring and Easter Printables and Stickers

Welcome back, scrappers!

I've got the next challenge ready for you. It's a Banner Challenge. Use at least one large or small banner on your page, card or other craft project. You may use a template and you may use any designer's goodies for this challenge. I'm providing you with a template just in case. You may change it up however you like. It is a template from my Banners, Baby pack found at GingerScraps. Keep scrolling for links.

I want to give you a few page example for inspiration and some links to some designs that might tickle your fancy. (When is the last time you heard that line?!) Of course, I'll have a few tips for ya as well.

I can't choose what I love most about the page, above. The colors are beyond fab.  The unicorn, adorable. The layout overall is really fantastic, but I think the star feature is that adorable little face.

If you're looking for truly original and unique scrapbook pages, look no further than The Cherry's templates. I get my inspiration from nature, advertisements, mail, artwork and all kinds of other places.

There are available at GingerScraps.

Remember my circus kit and templates? That was one heck of an endeavor. I may take this color palette and possibly the theme to the Kreative Design Studio for something new. I LOVE these colors. If I'm not mistaken, I pulled them off of an old vintage circus advertisement.

Your banner doesn't have to take over the entire page.

Here are a few banner type templates I've got in Plus. They may look familiar. I redesigned quite a few of my older templates for Plus. Make sure you don't double them up. Though, the new ones will be a lot better. I hope you grabbed the wonderful offer of a FREE month of Gold Membership from Plus?

  

Find this gem in GingerScraps.

The free template is from Banners, Baby.  Check to make sure you don't already have it. It was my favorite one from the pack. I hope you like it, too.

The cute Easter and spring printables I designed are FREE at Design Bundles, now.  Go grab'm! Design Bundles has TONS of free stuff.  See what you can get!

You know what do now, right? Scrap up your page with a pretty banner and then put it in the coordinating album in our group and or in the forum post at Design Bundles where I've been sharing pages as well.You can win prizes.

Have a totally scrap-a-licious weekend! I'll be back with more challenges soon.

Happy scrapping!

Paper Pieces Digital Scrapbooking Templates and Fun Freebies

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

We've got new templates, several announcements, some freebies to share as well as lovely page inspiration on tap for, today.  I'm so, so glad you're here to join us!

You probably know by now, that I just love showing off pretty papers on my templates and with today's new templates, you can do exactly that.  Just look at what I am my incredible team have done with Paper Pieces.

This first page is mine, using Aimee Harrison's absolutely gorgeous goodies 360 April.  These colors, though?!  When a collection fits the templates perfectly.  I love that!

Tammy is kicking it yet, again with another lovely page.  These colors, right?!  So elegant with a sweet, natural feel.  BoHo Wedding looks to be pretty darn spectacular.  You can find it at the Sweet Shoppe.  

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see the back end of winter pages.  Hehehe...This Florida girl is missing the warmth and sunshine, big time.  Ngoc's pages are always a stand out.  Cold Snap from LJS made a chilly kit still look very pleasing.

Throwing Some Scraps Around has new goodies for April out as well, today.  Rachelle scrapped her little cutie with them.

If this kit from LouCee Creations looks familiar, it's because I showed it off last week.  Now, Theresa is using Puddle Jumpers to show off her ray of very wet sunshine.  

These look exactly like the blooms on our cherry trees.  Of course I have cherry trees.  Two of them!  More fabulous designs from BooLand.

Hilary also loves bright on black!  Retired goodies, I'm afraid.  They look so fun!

Ah, the romance of it all. Chris's page with Whispy's D'zines.

Carol also used BooLand Designs on her pretty page.  Mmmm..signs of spring!

More bright on black and Clever Monkey goodies from Hilary.

These are last weeks templates.  They been our most popular to date. Thanks if you were one of those who've purchased them.  If not, don't wait to add to these to your stash.  They really are a treat to scrap with.

I've got some new pages with them from Hilary, Rachelle and Danica.

Danica used goodies from Simple Pleasures Designs.  They look totally awesome with out Planned Templates. 

Another lovely page from Rachelle using products from Aimee.  It's the same gorgeous collection I used.

Cassie's played with my cuttables, Up In The Air.  You don't have to use your cutting machines to use them.  We've got several packs our shop.  Pop over to Kreative Design Studio and take a peek.  We've got some really exciting ones that I'm packaging up, today.  They'll release for Autism Awareness day.  As you know, both of my boys are on the spectrum and I'm working on something that embodies the pain of coping with and or helping others through mental difficulties.

I mentioned in the newsletter that a lot of freebies will be surfacing in the near future.  There is a free alphabet for those who participated in our March challenge.

For the First of the month, I'll be giving out the second portion of our Because Collection and I know a lot of you are impatiently awaiting this.  Hehehe...I didn't mean to torture you!  Hehehe...The first part is still available for you in the January Challenge Album in our group.  You won't be eligible for any extra's from previous month's, but we'd still love to see your pages.  I'm so thrilled about all of the entries!  I hope next month's will be even better!

Here is February's Challenge and yes, it is still available and will be available all year long.

This month, you can download all 12 of theses lovely journal cards.

Look at this gorgeous page Lisa submitted to our March Challenge!

Here's a lovely freebie from Throwing Some Scraps Around.  You can find it in her group.

And that wasn't generous enough, Jodi has also added some beautiful, printable tags, too!
