Love For Layout Templates Hop Around and Cat Inspired Scrapbooking Cuttables and Templates

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

First, my apologies for popping around trying to find our forever home.  We started right here over 5 years ago and took a sabbatical for one year to try out how it is to have a site on Word Press.  It was not what we expected and after one year, we were still getting more views on Blogger.  Not to mention it's free at Blogger, easier, consistent and I found myself not even using the attributes of a site.  So, we are right back where we started and frankly, relieved.  Hehehe...

I just love to hop around and get a bunch of free digital goodies in these hops, don't you?  The Love For Layout Templates hop is certainly a top favorite.  I hope it's one you do regularly, too.  I so, so enjoyed designing this time around's free template.  I had this sketch given to me and thought I could never pull it off, but voila.  I did it!  I thought all of those tiny boxes gave the page a rather, modern, artistic quality so went with a lot of paints, splats and graphics.  I couldn't resist using GS Creations little raccoon.  He's been in a my stash a few months and I just had to get him on a page.  Hehehe...

Keep scrolling to get the link for today's free template and enjoy the rest of the hop.

My ladies did an amazing job with this template.  Check out what they've done and get inspired!

This first one is mine.  I used Key Lime Digi Designs FREE kit she gave in her latest newsletter.  

We've been giving away freebies in hops for years now.  A fan just scrapped up this extraordinary page with a free template from...well...a long time ago.  I designed her some messy stitches and I'll be definitely putting this one in the shop along with some more really fun banner designs.  Keep your eyes out.

Every other month, newsletter recipients will receive a free mini from our One Word Wonders kits.  It's not too late to get this free mini and see if Sumptuous is for you.  I bet it is!  Click on the image to sign up.

When you've scrapped up your page using today's template, you can post it in our scrap-a-licious group.  In fact you can show off all of your pretty pages and projects in our group.  Check out the first part of the free kit in January's challenge.  It is available all year.  So you can still pop over there and get it.

We also just put up this coordinating template for February's challenge.  Even more reason to be a part of our family, right?!

If you are a template lover, than you certainly are in the right place.  I love designing templates and you might just love our newest Free With Purchase template in our new kit, Sumptuous.  See it in there?  Subscribers got a fantastic discount on this and you can too.  I'll be giving out the coupon code again in the next newsletter.

My super scrappy sister, Tammy did a bang up job with that template.

I thought I might show off some other templates of ours with hearts in mind.

You can scrap gorgeous, too with our Strip Tease collection.

Revel In Ribbons are still one of our most popular sets of templates.  Make them yours!

Hearts with an artistic flair?  Yeah!  We've got that!

Here is the link for today's free template.  Thanks for being such a sport and checking out what The Cherry is all about.  I can't wait to see what you design with it!  Don't forget the Love For Layout Templates group either.  You can find the entire list there or on Jodi's blog.

Happy scrapping!!!

Cat Inspired Scrapbooking Templates and a Meow-Velous Free Quick Page

Welcome to Freebie Friday with The Cherry On Top.

We are so, so glad you are here.  As usual, we've got nifty freebies to show off as well as new digital scrapbooking templates that you can find in both of our shops and my favorite, page inspiration.  We've also got a few very important announcements so keep on reading and enjoy today's blog.

Last week we released the doggie version of FurEver family and this week, one of my favorite animals, kitties.  I just love the versatile photo spots in this pack.  Templates with one large, two large and three picture spots.  Of course you can change them around.  Check out what I and my lovely ladies have designed with them and don't forget!  You can easily use these or any digital template that offer png formats in your cutting machines.  You'll be scrapping really beautiful and quickly, too.  Check out my video here. 

Like our huge dog collection, Dog Daze, we've also got a kitty collection and even more templates and printables in the PuurFect Kit. For only $6 you get ALL of this, including printables, templates, badges, Cute Cards... 

These were the templates from last week.

You may purchase both of these templates in either shop.  Scrappy Sisters or Kreative Design Studio.

Tomorrow is this year's start for the Love For Layout Templates Hop Around.  YAY!!!  You know we are participating, again this year and the templates are looking pretty great.  Jump back here tomorrow and grab ours along with well over a dozen other designer's templates.  That's right!  We are up to 15 stops.  Can you even scrap 15 templates in a year?

Last week I gave ALL of the links to the entire 52 Reasons Why I Love You mini album.  If you missed it, click here to get back there.  Hehehe...

Here is today's lovely freebie and don't forget all of other free goodies we offer in our newsletters and in our group like these most recent ones:

Digital Scrapbooking Templates and Cut Files For Dogs

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

We are so glad that you are here.  At our place, it's all white and we are STILL waiting for the bus!  Hehehe...Just a couple inches of snow and Flanders is in grid lock.  Of course, the boys are not complaining at all.  Neither am I.  It's great to have bonus time with family.  

Whether you are enjoying warmer weather and sunshine or you're nestled in your favorite sweat shirt scrolling through your e-mails we are thrilled you've found time for us.  I'm sure you'll love today's blog full of scrapbooking inspiration and freebies.

We've got new, pet themed templates in the Scrappy Sisters shop, a gorgeous kit with a free with purchase, coordinating template and a few freebies.

Again, I'm providing cuttable files in these templates.  If your cutting machines accepts png format, any of our templates will work.  Each layer is separate and in png format.  There is a file full of the pngs and this one would be the easiest to use for that.

We've got all kinds of animals at our place and fortunately, a lot of people are fans of furry, feathered and other types of beasts.  So much so that I'm inundated with requests!  This week we are putting dogs on the throne and next week will be kitties with more animal themed templates later to come.

The first three pages are done through yours truly.  Check out how I added a stroke around that merged cuttable in a few of my pages.  It just felt like it needed an extra aspect.  A bit more contrast perhaps?

Above, I used our Dog Daze Collection found in the Kreative Design Studio.  There are so many packs available for you.  More templates, quick pages, Cute Cards/Journaling cards, elements, papers, word art, stationary...take a peep and see if something is for you.  You get a lot of goodies in our elements pack.  They go just great with both sets of templates.

For the page above, I used LouCee Creations collection, Shampoodle.  I've got some kind of Bichon Frisse/Maletese mix of a dog and he needs a hair cut every three weeks or so.  That's pretty hard on the pocket so I often intervene and cut it myself.  As you can see, he is very used to this.  Doesn't he look so relaxed?  Hehehe...

I really like the paw prints on this template.  Again, I gave it a nice contrasting stroke and pimped up that shadow just a bit more than normally.  Aimee Harrison's Wooftastic collection has a nice, natural color palette and a lot of dog elements, too.

Check out the rest of my team's pages.

Ha!  Hilary did a great job following the template.  Her little doggie is SO cute and what's fun is you can customize our doggy to look like yours.

These templates are so much fun.  I hope you decide to add them to your stash.

Now, let's look at our newest and first One Word Wonders.  The plan is to have a fantastic, over the top awesome kit every other month.  Newsletter subscribers will get a mini portion for each of them and the full kits will also contain a coordinating template.

My lovely ladies were so into the artistic style template.  Check out what we've done with Sumptuous and the template.

Below, is Jodi's page.  She's used her gorgeous templates, Efflorescence.  Jodi's entire collection for this line is totally droolville.  Pop over to her store and be ready to be wowed!

My profile picture needed some updating.  I used some really innovative templates from Bits N' Pieces and our Sumptuous kit.  Jump over to Scrappy Sisters and check out Rachelle's awesome templates.  She often includes a template for your FB wear in her templates, too.

Here's a close up of Sumptuous.  There are a lot of artistic pieces and stamps.  I'm just in love with all of the gold.  What a super luxurious feel!

I'm having an absolute blast making papers lately.  I'm learning to tweak my colors and the lightening much better and digging the results.

Newsletter subscribers will get a mini kit from each One Word Wonders kit as well as a coupon for 50% off.  So make sure you are a subscriber.  I deliver the mail every Friday or Saturday and share the most abbreviated updates and look out for's.  Hehehe...It's a great way to stay current and know what's coming in the future, too.

You are looking at a future template and Aimee Harrison's stunning collection February 360.  I totally recommend her 360 Collections for anyone interested in timely/monthly/Project Life or Life Documented types of projects you have.

The colors are so alive and the flowers so fun!  I had a blast scrapping this page.

Jodi from Throwing Some Scraps Around is at it again and she's got another Mix N' Match for February.  The color palette is huge and I'm sure you're going to really like it.  I chose a couple of the colors and used a template of hers from last week,  Free Spirit.  You can get all of the goodies in the Scrappy Sisters shop.

If you are a fan of The Cherry for our freebies, then let me show you some lovelies we have ready.  In our scrap-a-liscious group, I've got a free mini kit for the January challenge.  There are enough goodies in there to make lovely pages and a lot of scrappy sisters have already added their pages in the January album which qualifies them for the extra's pack which I'll be sending around at the end of the month.  If your pages are not in the album by the end of January, you'll not qualify for the extras.

This is what the extras are.  I'd love to see what you design with the first part of Because.

I post free stuff nearly every single day on our Page and in our group either I or other super sisters post awesome freebies that they find around DigiLand.  You can share your pages and projects there, too.  They do not have to be digital.  We'd love to see what crafty creations you've made.

My gal Andrea is helping set us up with some awesome freebies.  Check all of these out!

Check out ALL of the freebies Diane has for you!

These are SO cute!

If you are following along with our 52 Reasons, year long project make sure you click here to get ALL of the parts.  I gave them all out on our last blog so that you can whip it together in time for February 14th!

Thanks so much for checking out The Cherry.  I hope ya join us in all of our social spots.  You can find them in the side bar.

Happy scrapping!
