April's Love For Layout Templates Blog Hop of Free Digital Scrapbooking Templates for Pages, Cards and More

Welcome to The Cherry on Top.

Y'all! Blogger keeps taking down my blogs as they are published. To try and have my blogs air on time, I'm publishing this blog a little early. So, if the other blogs are not live yet, be patient. What happens is I type up a blog and Blogger immediately unpublishes it claiming that my blog goes against their community standards. As if?! I've asked them to prove that claim, but of course, they cannot. I then have to request a review and then wait until they do that. They do this for nearly every blog! Double ugh, right?! I've been using Blogger for over a decade. Anyway...Rant over!  Hehehe...

Don'cha just love these scrapbooking hops? What a great way to get free templates and inspiration. I've got a pretty neat template for ya, today.  I used a beautiful laser cut file from Design Bundles for it. When I peruse Plus and Design Bundles, I think how I can use the products I see for scrapbook products and other digital designs and you can, too.

If you're not in Plus yet and have never been, use this link and try it out for free. I've stuffed Plus full of digital templates and huge digital scrapbooking collections.  Type in "scrapbook" in the search and start using up all of those free points with the link I gave ya. My templates all have the same color scheme to make them easy to find.

Keep scrolling for more free templates.

My team loved the new template and designed some lovely pages to inspire you. Speaking of team members, I sure could use more ladies on the team. If you are interested in making pages with my templates and designs contact me via e-mail or FB. I'd love a hybrid chick, too.

Let the background take over and show off your favorite pics or just use the pretty template to make a paper design. It would make a stunning card, too.

Chere Kaye Designs was the stop before mine. Next up is Blue Heart Scraps. Drop off your pages in our group. We love to see what ya do.

Did ya participate in the Scrap-A-Thon, last month? I gave away a lot of free stuff and prizes, too.  There were 20 challenges.  You can still go through and do the challenges for the rest of the year. Feel free to add them to the albums in our group if you like. Challenges are a great way to amp up your scrapping game and get pages done for albums. Below are some of the freebies and some page examples from a few of the scrappy sisters that participated in the Scrap-A-Thon.

I couldn't choose what page to show!

Another super cute page with a Cherry template from Ruth.

Another free template for you.

A great page from Cathy.

I started off the event with a surprise free template. Head over to the blog where the event started and see what template is waiting for you.

Kaitlyn just joined my team. Yay! Her pages she made for the challenges were stunning.

That's right! Yet another free template!

I know!  I know! It pays to follow The Cherry.

Hilary made a great page.

I spent days making these templates and boy are the pages fantastic.

My newest addition to the Kreative Design Studio in Design Bundles is Pink Punk. I put it all together in a bundle or you can grab the packs ya like. I've got a lot of inspiration in the galleries in the shop.

Thank you for stopping by The Cherry.  Enjoy the rest of the hop, grab our other free templates, join in on the scrap-a-thon and consider supporting The Cherry with a purchase at either GingerScraps or Kreative Design Studio.

Happy scrapping!

I don't know about you, but I'm all about the bang for my buck.  Why not scroll through our shop and see the fantastic deals that we spread throughout.  Like our What's Cook'n collection.  You get a full kit, four really cool templates and a pack of printables that are insanely helpful, for just $5!

Felicity's pretty page with the kit and template.

I'm the type of cook that wants to provide healthy, well rounded meals quickly and easily for my family of four.  Recipes are a fantastic way to not only learn how to cook, but to try new things and perhaps even use ingredients that you've never tried before.  I sit in my papasan every Sunday morning with hot cup of something lovely, my agenda, my tablet with my Food Pinterest board and some cook books or magazines.  I write out what we're going to eat from Monday through Monday and then write a list for the grocery store or shops.  It saves so much time, money and waste.  The family likes that I put the menu out where they can see it as well. Include your family if you'd like.  This way they become responsible and they might not complain as much.  Hehehe...

We recently opened a new Commercial Use shop at Design Bundles.  I've provided just a few examples of what you can find, but there is a lot more.  I've put a lot of the products at 50% off, too!

One of our most popular products from the shop.

Super useful products to show off your projects.

Unique items to add to your stash or to alter and sell yourself.

Let's face the truth.  I'm a cheap skate as many of you know, but this Plus Membership at Design Bundles, boggles the mind and I thought my mind was over boggled.  Hehehe...I've been asked to contribute to a mind blowing Free bundle for the Plus Members who I already thought was spoiled to near death.  I still cannot get over the amount of designs they offer in this membership.  Check it out!  I'm fairly certain you will be impressed.

Design Cuts also offer Freebies on Fridays.  Here is this week's.

If you're only here for the free stuff, then you've certainly come to the right place.  This blog is absolutely bursting with freebies.  To keep up with all we do, which more than likely will make your head spin, sign up for our newsletter so you don't miss a beat.

A beautiful free quick page with our Optimism kit and Love You To Pieces templates.

Our third challenge for the year.  Pop over to our scrap-a-licious group and grab all THREE FREE TEMPLATES.

Are you a hybrid lover?  We've got a Hybrid Hipster blog on Saturday's sporadically posted throughout the years.  Here's one of the latest.

This is the link that will lead you to this free kit and template.  There is a video link on the blog as well.  I show you step by step, how to use a digital template in PhotoShop Elements.  It's a crazy easy to use software program.  Find out more by visiting that blog.

Have questions?  Head over to the group and ask away.  Show off your pretty projects and join in on the fun.

If you're still here at this point, CONGRATULATIONS and thanks so much for reading through the entire blog.  I sure hope you're leaving here with inspiration and enough mojo to get you crafting or cooking  throughout the week, until we can do it again, next week.  Hehehe...

I want to wish you health and happiness.  They both sometimes seem to be declining, but with a little effort you'll get as much as you need.  Deep breaths, appreciating the little things and making the time to do what you love will make any day brighter.

Take care and happy scrapping.
